How Bobrisky attempted to smear, ridicule my personality — Mompha
Social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, alias Mompha, has warned crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, against using his name to chase “clout”.
Bobrisky had earlier involved the socialite in the ongoing online squabble with popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh.
Reacting to some claims made by both parties, Mompha took to his Instagram page to warn the crossdresser.
“Boy/Girl, stop using my name for clout chasing. Are you mad or what, Bobrisky? Be warned,” Mompha wrote.
He continued: “My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Idris Okuneye (aka “Bobrisky”), which is currently receiving traction across social media.
“In the said statement, Bobrisky stated that I gave Tonto Dikeh the sum of N300,000.00 without his knowledge.
“I wish to state that this is not only untrue, but a deliberate attempt by Bobrisky, who is notorious for seeking through every means (including blackmail), to smear and ridicule my personality before the world.
“Rather, it was Bobrisky who informed me that Tonto Dikeh accused me of being too stingy, which I refuted as untrue.
“The truth is that I only gave the sum of N300,000.00 to Tonto Dikeh for her foundation when she pleaded with me to support her pet project.
“It has, however, come to my knowledge that Bobrisky was actually at loggerheads with Tonto Dikeh, and resorted to using my name to discredit her before the general public.
“I want the general public to know that Tonto Dikeh is just a friend like every other friend I have both within and outside Nigeria, and there is nothing hidden in my friendship with Tonto Dikeh or anyone whatsoever.
“Therefore, I am using this medium to sound a note of warning to Bobrisky, to desist from mentioning my name in any fight he might have with Tonto Dikeh or anyone whatsoever as he is not my friend and I do not waste my precious time on frivolities.
“Any further attempt by Bobrisky to drag me into his issues will be addressed by my lawyers in court.
“P.S: I want it to be in the public that I, Ismail Mustapha, as a devoted Muslima and a family man, have never and will never associate myself with gay people. My faith forbids it.”

Nigerian comedian and actor, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, has expressed his belief that polygamy is the most suitable form of marriage for Africa.

He said, “Forget all the lip services that we pay to polygamy here. I still think that polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africa. Monogamy is not working.
“We are pretending. Now, what’s the difference between polygamy and monogamy? Polygamy says you can marry two people at the same time. Monogamy says you cannot marry them at the same time, you have to let one go. What if you don’t want to let one go?”

Siblings Kunle, Aremu Afolayan reconcile, end age-long feud at mother’s wake-keep
Siblings Kunle, Aremu Afolayan reconcile, end age-long feud at mother’s wake-keep
Renowned Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan and his younger brother, Aremu Afolayan, have officially reconciled after years of public and private discord.
The brothers, both sons of the late Nigerian film legend Ade Love, ended their long-standing feud during the wake-keep ceremony of their late mother in Oyo State on Friday, November 22, 2024.
The rift between the two gained widespread attention in 2018 when Aremu alleged in an interview that their father lived in poverty despite his fame.
Kunle reacted sharply to the comments, labeling Aremu “stupid” during the public exchange, which deepened the divide between them.
However, the emotional gathering for their mother became a turning point. Kunle, addressing attendees, referred to himself as a father figure to Aremu due to their 10-year age gap.

“One thing I want to tell all Aremu’s friends is that I am not his brother but his father,” Kunle said. “I trained him, and I’m 10 years older than him. But love conquers all.”
Aremu, in turn, apologized to Kunle, acknowledging his mistakes and expressing gratitude for their late mother’s prayers and efforts to reconcile them.
“My greatest joy today is that my mother made us talk,” Aremu said. “I’m sorry for putting brother Kunle through the Instagram backlash. It’s because I love you.”

Why marriage is a scam – Actress Abimbola Craig
Why marriage is a scam – Actress Abimbola Craig
Nigerian actress and film producer, Abimbola Craig has revealed why she is not married at 38.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Craig said she believes “marriage is a scam”.
The actress critiqued traditional marital roles where women are often burdened with home management and catering to their partners, referring to the title “Mrs” as shorthand for “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.
She also clarified that her decision to remain single is not because she opposes marriage but because she values a partner with self-awareness or purpose.
“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’,” she said.

Craig is best known for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’. She has also made her mark as a producer, co-producing the 2019 box office hit ‘Sugar Rush’ alongside Jade Osiberu.
Earlier this year, she opened up about a near-death experience following brain surgery in 2014.
Craig recounted battling severe complications, including nausea, insomnia, and weight loss, which left her fearing for her life.
