‘Pick A Date’ — Tiwa Savage Accepts Teni’s Boxing Challenge

Nigerian music stars Tiwa Savage and Teni have sparked excitement online after exchanging a playful boxing challenge, with Tiwa responding to Teni’s call-out by telling her to “Pick a date.”

The exchange began after Teni challenged Tiwa Savage to a boxing bout in a social media video while discussing the wealth and lifestyles of some Nigerian entertainers.

Teni jokingly called out Tiwa and proposed a multi-billion-naira purse for the potential showdown, saying she was ready to step into the ring with the award-winning singer.

At one point, Teni mentioned ₦1.5 billion while discussing the proposed fight and joking about whether the money could be enough to purchase a Bugatti. She also made another reference to ₦3 billion in a subsequent social media post, leading to differing reports about the amount attached to the challenge.

Teni further joked that she would defeat Tiwa in the ring before performing Tiwa’s hit song “My Darling” for her afterwards.

Tiwa responded to the challenge in the comments section with three words: “Pick a date.”

The brief response quickly went viral, with fans interpreting it as Tiwa accepting the proposed Teni vs Tiwa Savage boxing match.

However, there is currently no official confirmation that the bout has been organised. No fight date, venue, promoter, contract, rules or official purse has been announced by either artiste or a recognised boxing promoter.

The reported financial figures should therefore not be treated as an agreed fight purse. They originated from Teni’s playful social media challenge rather than an announced professional boxing deal.

The exchange comes at a time when celebrity boxing in Nigeria is attracting growing public attention, with entertainers and reality TV personalities increasingly participating in exhibition bouts.

Recent events have featured celebrities including Phyna, Nkechi Blessing, Carter Efe and Speed Darlington, helping to generate interest in entertainment-driven boxing events.

Phyna recently defeated actress Nkechi Blessing by knockout in a celebrity boxing event in Lagos organised under the Chaos in the Ring series.

The growing popularity of such events has created a new crossover between Nigeria’s entertainment and boxing industries, with celebrity rivalries increasingly being turned into sporting spectacles.

For now, however, the proposed Teni and Tiwa Savage boxing bout remains a social media challenge. Tiwa’s “Pick a date” response has nevertheless left fans waiting to see whether the playful exchange will eventually turn into an actual celebrity boxing event.

“Sometimes, I Wonder Why I Married My Husband” — Omotola

Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has opened up about the realities of her 30-year marriage, admitting that there are moments when she wonders why she chose her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde.

The actress made the disclosure during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where she discussed love, marriage, friendship and the challenges involved in sustaining a long-term relationship.

Omotola explained that marriage does not mean feeling romantic love for one’s partner every single day, adding that her husband understands the different emotions that can arise in a long-term relationship.

“My husband knows that I don’t love him all the time,” she said.

The actress also spoke candidly about moments when she notices other attractive men and jokingly questions her choice of husband.

“There are days that I’d see fantabulous guys, and I’d be like, I picked this one over you?” she said.

However, Omotola stressed that such moments do not mean that her marriage is troubled. Instead, she described her relationship with Matthew as a partnership built on commitment, understanding and the freedom for both individuals to remain themselves.

“Our marriage is not that serious. We’re partners,” she said.

The actress said she and her husband have also learned to acknowledge their imperfections instead of pretending that their relationship is always perfect.

According to her, open communication and honesty have helped them navigate disagreements and the changing emotions that come with a long-term marriage.

Omotola has previously maintained that divorce is not an option for her, while also acknowledging that every couple has to make decisions based on their individual circumstances.

She and Matthew married on March 23, 1996, and marked their 30th wedding anniversary in March 2026.

The couple have four children and have remained together through Omotola’s successful acting career and Matthew’s career as an airline pilot.

The actress has previously credited her husband’s selflessness, trust and willingness to support her career among the factors that have helped sustain their relationship.

Her latest comments have generated conversations about the realities of long-term relationships, particularly the distinction between romantic feelings and the commitment required to maintain a marriage over several decades.

Omotola’s remarks suggest that, for her, a lasting marriage is not necessarily about experiencing intense romantic feelings every day but about choosing partnership, communication and commitment even when emotions fluctuate.

Less Than Four Months After Wedding, Jarvis Threatens Peller With Lawsuit Over Second-Wife Plan

Popular Nigerian social media personality, Jarvis, has threatened to take legal action against her husband, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, following an alleged disagreement over his reported intention to marry another woman.

The controversy reportedly erupted after Jarvis expressed anger over discussions about Peller taking a second wife barely four months after their marriage.

In a video shared on social media, Jarvis questioned why the issue of a second wife had surfaced so soon after their wedding, insisting that Peller had not presented such an arrangement to her before she agreed to marry him.

According to her, she entered the marriage based on an understanding she had with Peller before their wedding and was therefore unhappy that the possibility of another wife was now being discussed.

Jarvis reportedly reminded Peller that their marriage was still very young and warned that she would seek legal redress if the matter continued.

“Our marriage is not even up to four months,” she was quoted as saying while expressing her displeasure over the development.

She also reportedly threatened that Peller could end up in prison if she proceeded with legal action, adding to the intensity of the disagreement.

The social media personality further referred to discussions they allegedly had before their marriage, insisting that the present situation was different from what she understood when she agreed to become his wife.

The reported dispute has attracted considerable attention among their fans, particularly because of the short period since the couple formalised their relationship.

Peller and Jarvis’ relationship had generated significant public interest before their wedding, with the pair becoming popular through social media content, livestreams and appearances together.

Their wedding ceremonies were widely followed by fans and fellow entertainment personalities, making them one of the more closely watched young celebrity couples on social media.

However, the latest development has now shifted attention to the couple’s understanding of marriage, religion and the possibility of polygamy.

Jarvis reportedly maintained that she was not comfortable with the situation and challenged Peller over what she described as a departure from their earlier understanding.

She also threatened to take the matter beyond social media by seeking legal intervention.

There was, however, no indication from the reported exchange that Jarvis had already filed a court case against Peller.

Similarly, the reported controversy does not by itself establish that Peller has formally commenced plans to marry another woman.

Peller’s full response to the allegations was also not immediately clear from the circulating video.

The development has since triggered reactions among their followers, with many questioning what may have caused the disagreement only a few months into their marriage.

For now, the reported legal threat remains a warning made by Jarvis, while it remains unclear whether the dispute will result in an actual court case or be resolved privately by the couple.
