  • Teni the entertainer, Slimcase, others tackle Jaywon

    Teni the entertainer, Slimcase, Ada Ameh and others have tackled Jaywon over corroborating what Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), said about marriage.

    Adeboye had on Monday charged his “sons” to refrain from marrying ladies who can’t cook or do chores.

     

    Expressing his thoughts on the issue, Jaywon had written on social media: “Anybody can cook but believe me nobody wants to marry a woman who cannot cook or take care of the house. How many men can come out proudly and say my wife doesn’t know how to cook or take care of the house? My wife has to know how to cook even if she doesn’t cook every time. But she must know how to cook”.

     

    Making reference to Jaywon’s statement Slimcase said: “Even If DJ Cuppy can’t cook, I will marry her”.

     

    Teni simply asked Jaywon when he will tie the knot: “When will you marry, this year, next year or never”?

     

    Nollywood actor Big Val Jokotoye wrote:“It’s good for a wife to know how to cook but don’t turn her to a cook. Help her if the need arises”.

     

    However veteran actress, Ada Ameh has a different stance on the issue.

     

    She wrote: “It is so sad that we all have turned to white men by force. In the name of love, a woman will say she cannot cook or that her husband must know how to cook. It’s not bad for a man to know how to cook. My dear sisters, it is good for a woman to own her kitchen truly. I am not saying the kitchen must be your office. We are Nigerians please. We shouldn’t allow anybody to deceive us. Most men like a woman that can cook. For the ones who can’t cook, you can learn”.

    Teni is undoubtedly one of the biggest artistes in Nigeria at the moment.The entertainer continues to release songs Nigerians can relate with. With the massive success of her ‘Billionaire Experience ‘ concert and her huge fan-base, not forgetting her BET award nomination in 2019, Teni is definitely on her way to the top in 2020.

     

     

    12. Alex Ekubbo
    Truth be told, Alexx has metamorphosed from being that eye candy actor into a bonafide role interpreter who delivers.
    He did so well in Bling Lagosians that Funke Akindele had to use him in the movie ‘Your Excellency’. His sharpened range has been as a result of the diverse challenging roles he has played in time past. Ekubo’s time is here. We hope he uses it to the full.

     

    NATHANIEL BASSEY
    13.Nathaniel Bassey
    The trumpet wielding soft spoken singer is one of the most respected Nigerian gospel artistes. Nathaniel Bassey, an unassuming yet anointed singer continues to churn hits after hits while maintaining his focus.
    Bassey’s social media powered yearly prayer session, ‘Halleluyah Challenge’ continues to be a blessing to thousands all over the world.

     

    14.Williams Uchemba

    DJ CUPPY

    15. DJ Cuppy
    Cuppy stunned her fans in 2019, when she converted banter with her billionaire dad, Femi Otedola over ‘Gelato’ into a groovy tune featuring Zlatan.
    Her girl-next-door persona and humility has further endeared her to Nigerians. Despite the bullying she encounters on social media, Cuppy still manages to spread positivity.

     

    16.Nkechi Blessing Sunday
    The sexy Igbo damsel who stars in Yoruba movies loves attention. The good thing is that Nkechi has converted the attention into building a strong fan base. Her feature in Funke Akindele’s web series ‘Aiyetoro Town’ and a number of endorsements are the needed pointer that she is here to play big.
    17.Rudeboy
    When the PSquare split occurred, everyone didn’t give Paul a chance. We taught he would find it difficult to stand without his twin. However with a string of scintillating tunes including Nkenji Keke, Reason with Me and Audio Money, the self-proclaimed Rudeboy is showing us that he cannot be underestimated.

     

    18.Tacha
    Despite her unceremonious disqualification from BBNaija in 2019, Tacha still remains the most talked about BBNaija 2019 housemate. The young lady trends on Twitter effortlessly, no thanks to her loyal fan-bas called ‘Tacha Titans’. Her commitment to staying relevant will definitely bring her more fame and fortune.

     

    19.Yemi Alade
    When you think of Alade, what comes to mind is her sheer focus, dedication and melodious vocal dexterity. Though she has been condemned over the quality of her lyrics, the Igbo-Yoruba damsel seem unperturbed by the criticisms. In 2019, she was featured on Beyonce’s ‘Lion King’ album and also toured several countries.Watch out for her in 2020.

     

    1. Rema
    2019 was the year of discovery for the teenage singer Rema.The singer signed to Jonzing World,a subsidiary of Mavin Records, is absolutely one entertainer to look out for in 2020.
