Controversial Relationship expert Blessing CEO has shared words of advice to the recent viral fish pie seller.

In a heartfelt revelation on her page, Miraj detailed how she ventured into the slums where Alax and his family lived, offering them a lifeline out of hardship. She instructed Alax and his family to pack up their belongings, a command that must have sounded like a dream come true. And without hesitation, they obeyed, eager to embrace whatever new chapter lay ahead.

But the surprises didn’t end there. Nons Miraj, like a fairy godmother, whisked them away to several grocery stores, where Alax and his family were given free rein to fill their carts with food, clothes, and other essentials. The look of sheer joy and disbelief on their faces spoke volumes as they picked out items they had once only dreamed of owning.

The pinnacle of this emotional journey came when Miraj drove them to a newly rented apartment. No longer would Alax and his family have to endure the harsh realities of slum life.

In a final act of benevolence, Nons Miraj handed him N200,000, ensuring that Alax and his family had more than just a fresh start—they had hope, dignity, and a newfound sense of security.

Why I won’t leave my husband if I find him cheating – Actress Chinwe

Popular Nollywood actress Isaac Chinwe has shared her perspective on the sensitive topic of infidelity in marriage.  The actress, who recently welcomed a child, told Saturday Sun in an interview that cheating is not enough reason to end her marriage.

“I don’t think I can leave my husband just because he cheated. If you love me enough, you won’t cheat repeatedly. If it’s a one-time mistake and I find out, I might forgive him, hoping and expecting it won’t happen again. If you must cheat, keep a clean slate and don’t do it under my nose. If I find out, I will be upset. However, if he’s a serial cheat, I might leave him because I feel disrespected,” she said. 

The actress explained that while she would be disappointed and hurt by infidelity, her decision to stay or leave would depend on several factors, including the severity of the offence, her husband’s sincerity, and the circumstances surrounding the cheating incident.

She said, “If my husband made a mistake and had an affair, he should be honest with me. His explanation, sincerity, and truthfulness would help me decide if he would do it again.”

Chinwe concluded by offering advice to other women on maintaining a healthy marriage. She stressed the importance of love, communication, and understanding. “Most men might cheat, and knowing this beforehand helps you balance your marriage. If you’re lucky to get a man who doesn’t cheat or if you have no evidence of him cheating, don’t look for trouble. Stop going over your man’s phone. Sometimes, women’s attitudes can push a man to cheat, so know how to balance it,” she advised.
