    “We never knew he could act on those things he was saying. We know him to be temperamental, but violence is not part of what he was known for. It is sad what has happened,” said Abdullahi.

  • Why I married a second wife-Yul Edochie reveals

    Nollywood actor cum politician, Yul Edochie has revealed reasons he married a second wife.

    Recall that Edochie had surprised many with the announcement of his son he had with another woman, Judy Austin whom he referred to as his second wife.

    Edochie’s first wife May had taken to social media to  vent her anger in the comment section.

    Her comment reads: ”May God judge you both”

    According to him, a man can actually love two women.

    He said, “At this stage in my life, I think it is possible for a man to love two women because two women can contribute differently to the man’s life.

    “Someone cannot come into your life and make so much impact and you just cannot let this person go. Of course, a lot of people would say, as a married man, why did you allow a woman to come into your life. I said it is wrong, and I take the blame for that.

    “These things happen. Let’s be honest. It happened to me. I realized I just could not let this wonderful woman leave my life.

    “These are very wonderful women in their own rights. They bring different things to the table. You can actually love two women. A man can actually love two women at the same time. I thought it was not possible, but now I realize it is possible.”

  • How my first wife left me with no option than to marry Mercy Aigbe – Kazim Adeoti

    How my first wife left me with no option than to marry Mercy Aigbe – Kazim Adeoti

    Mercy Aigbe’s husband, Kazim Adeoti has narrated how his first wife, Funsho Adeoti left him with no other option than to marry a second wife.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Kazim as saying that Funsho forced him to marry Mercy as his second wife when she permanently relocated to the U.S.

    Kazim made this known following the first wife’s recent outburst on social media.

    Recall that Funsho took to her social media page to publicly warn her husband and Mercy over the home they currently live in.

    The drama started after Mercy shared photos and videos of herself in her husband’s house on Sunday.

    However, this did not sit well with Funsho who warned the Nollywood actress to take the posts down within 12 hours.

    However, Mercy did not listen, but instead posted another video of herself in the house.

    This infuriated Funsho, who then went online to reveal that she furnished the house with her hard-earned money and threatened to take brutal action against her husband and Mercy.

    This prompted Kazim to weigh in to her claims and threats in a statement shared on his Instagram page.

    He disclosed that he built the house himself and his ex-wife only bought some furnishing for the house, to which he refunded part of the money to her.

    He added that his first wife forced him to marry a second wife when she permanently relocated to the U.S, adding that there is nothing wrong with his action because his religion, Islam, permits him to marry more than one wife as long as he can take care of them.

    “I have read many things that have been written about me and my family. Many of which are fabricated lies and some directly from my first wife (which understandably is angry married a second wife).

    “At this point it is necessary I put record straight. I have two wives. One lives in the US while the other lives with me in Nigeria.

    “As a matter of fact, just got back from America 3 days ago where I spent quality time with my family and tried to mend fences with my first wife who is obviously still angry I married a second wife (A move my religion permits as a Muslim).

    “And talking about being a Muslim and a responsible man, I make sure none of my family in US or Nigeria is suffering.

    “It is laughable that some people said I have abandoned my US family in as much as I travel to see them often.

    “For the record, I ensure my US family gets 1500 dollars since 2016 monthly until recently when I reviewed it to 1000 dollars cos our daughter is now in the private university and have been solely responsible for her school fees and upkeep.

    “In as much as there is nothing bad in husband and wife building house together, in my case, we did not. I built the house by myself.

    “When I was furnishing the house, she bought some furnishing materials and part of the money I have refunded. My second wife had added some furnishing to the house as well.

    “It is not in my character to speak ill of people who were once friends not to talk of my first wife (who is still my wife as we speak).

    “I will not speak ill of her for the sake of good and bad times we shared and the good kids that God gave us.

    “It is understandable that my first wife is unhappy about getting a second wife but she left me no choice when she relocated permanently to the US.

    “I am a muslim and Islam permits me to marry more than one wife as long as take care of them and I don’t maltreat them.

    “I can stand before God and man that as a man, have done my best not to maltreat them.

    “And I will not paint my first wife bad no matter what or use foul language on her and her family (who have been with us all through this journey).

    “When she came to Nigeria recently, we, she, myself, her family and mine had zoom meeting (we didn’t see physically). And our meeting was opened, honest and respectful.

    “Many of them are surprised at the turn of event and the dragging of family name in the mud but as it is, we have to leave everything in the hands of God and let God continue guide us and reward us all,” Kazim narrated.

    I don’t mind being second wife- Ruth Eze

    Budding actress, Ruth Eze has averred that she doesn’t mind being a second wife.

    Eze revealed that her mother has been pestering her to get married.

    Speaking in a chat with The Sun, she said: “My mother is on my neck to get married but I can’t afford to marry a poor man, truth be told. So, I have been calming my mum down. I told her if I don’t look well and rush into marriage, I might rush out before she knows it.

    “For now, I’m here waiting for true love and without money, love can’t be true and sweet. I also don’t mind being a second wife as long as he agrees we have a white wedding. In addition, younger lovers are welcome; if the person has the qualities I want in a man and he is equally rich. In fact, I have been crushing on Williams Uchemba. Gosh! I love him so much, I wish he would just come and marry me,” Ruth gushed. The actress, however, admitted that she has remained celibate since breaking up with her former lover. “It might shock you, but (I’ve had) no sex since I left my ex some years ago. Since then, I have not seen whom I am compatible with. I have not seen or met that guy I can’t go a day without talking to. I’m looking out for a man that is dark, God fearing, financially buoyant, honest, tall and always smells nice.”

     

  • Aisha Buhari finally speaks on Buhari’s alleged plan to take second wife

    FIRST Lady Aisha Buhari on Sunday said it was not her duty to confirm or deny the rumour that her husband President Muhammadu Buhari wanted a second wife.

    She told BBC Hausa that the responsibility to confirm or deny the rumour was that of those involved in the matter.

    She said: “He (Buhari) is the person rumoured to be planning a marriage, not Aisha Buhari. They (those concerned) are supposed to come out and clear the air.”

    The first lady denied a rumour that she left her husband because she did not agree with his plan take a second wife.

    She called for urgent action against the menace of fake news.

    The social media was abuzz last Thursday with news that President Buhari was to get married to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq.

    Farouq, meanwhile, was in New York for a United Nations (UN) Campaign Against Poverty event.

    Last Friday’s raka’at prayer at the Aso Rock Mosque witnessed a seemingly unprecedented number of curious worshippers who wanted to confirm the viral story about a marriage that never happened.

    Mrs Buhari, who addressed journalists shortly after arriving in Nigeria from the United Kingdom, said she visited her children and attended to her health while away.

    She said: “It has been a tradition for us. For like 20 to 27 years now, if our children are on holiday, we spend it with them.

    “I never abandon my children and last year, I went to Spain and spent two months with Zahra when she gave birth.
    “While on holiday in the U.K, I fell sick; so, I stayed back to see a doctor who advised me to stay back to attend to my health.

    “From the U.K, I travelled to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and returned to England on doctor’s advice. They also advised that I should slow down my activities.”

    She recalled that due to fake news, she received calls from people who sought to confirm whether her husband was dead when he was sick.

    She said: “The genesis of this fake news started when my husband fell sick and perpetrators of this act were showing fake ambulance, hospital and dead body, suggesting that my husband was dead.

    “That time, I received so many calls from other first ladies and presidents of other countries to confirm; so I called the attention of Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and the National Orientation Agency.

    “Fake news will lead this country to something else if actions are not taken with immediate effect.”

    Mrs Buhari said she was ready to continue her work with women and children
