Embrace peaceful dialogue, shun protest, Tonto Dikeh advises youths
Actress Tonto Dikeh has spoken on the planned protest by youths, saying it was not necessary.
She acknowledged the struggles and right to protest but suggested more effective ways to address the issues.
She expressed sadness over the economic hardships and rising cost of living but cautioned against protests, citing the potential for damage and derailment as seen in the #EndSARS protest.
Instead, she recommended forming a representative group to engage directly with President Bola Tinubu, advocating for a more strategic and diplomatic approach.
She believed peaceful dialogue and community development can lead to positive change and unity.
Tonto Dikeh urged youths to consider alternative ways to make their voices heard, stressing the importance of making smart choices for a better Nigeria.

She wrote: “Dear fellow Nigerian youths, I understand your frustrations about our nation’s current state. The price hikes and economic pressures are tough, and many are struggling with increased costs of commuting and living. However, a nationwide protest from August 1-10, 2024, might not be the most effective method right now. This isn’t to undermine the power of protests but to suggest a more strategic approach.
“Instead of protests, I recommend forming a representative group to formally communicate with the President. This group can advocate on our behalf, request a meeting to discuss our concerns, and propose solutions. Engaging in meaningful dialogue and community development can lead to positive change and unity.
“The economic challenges affect us all, and addressing them through peaceful and diplomatic means could be more beneficial. Let’s unite and work towards a better Nigeria. I urge you to consider alternative ways to make your voices heard and to work towards a brighter future.”
She concluded with the caption: “Sometimes we can be right, but how we express ourselves matters. This is a heartfelt plea to all Nigerian youths—LET’S MAKE SMART CHOICES.”

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

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.

Portable shades celebrities for not donating to help TG Omori
Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has criticised Nigerian celebrities for their lack of financial support towards the medical bills of music video director TG Omori, who is currently battling health issues.
According to reports, TG Omori recently underwent a kidney transplant in Lagos, which was unsuccessful as his body rejected the donated kidney from one of his brothers.
While some celebrities have posted messages of support on social media following the failed surgery, Portable have called them out for not contributing financially to his medical expenses.

In a video shared on his Instastory, Portable expressed his disappointment with the entertainment industry, labelling it as being filled with “fake love.”
He called out Nigerian celebrities for donating to controversial cross-dresser Bobrisky during his legal troubles but not extending the same generosity to TG Omori, who is gravely ill.
“TG Omori has a kidney problem, and celebrities are not donating money or a kidney for him, but Victor Osimhen and others donated money for Bobrisky, who adds no value. The industry is full of fake love,” Portable lamented.
