ICYMI: Lady who admits having sexual relations with dogs faked death- Actress Abiola Adebayo
A Nollywood actress and podcaster, Abiola Adebayo has revealed that a young lady who reportedly killed herself after admitting on a podcast to engaging in sexual activities with her dogs as a result of addiction stemming from past trauma faked her death.
Adebayo said the lady, identified as Adenike Adewodun, faked her death in an attempt to escape the public backlash and legal consequences of her actions.
The actress made this known in a statement she released on her Instagram page on Thursday, titled “Miss Adenike Adewodun’s ‘Fake Death Antics”.
She wrote, “The case of Miss Adenike, while tragic, is a learning curve for us. She sent a message and was asked to come and we offered to get her therapy and all but she freaked out and in a very devilish and ungodly manner faked her death.
“After the fake death news, we tried to locate her house to properly express our deepest condolences but it was difficult to even pen a condolence letter and the presenter and producer Abiola Adebayo was both emotionally and mentally
disturbed for days.”
The actress explained that while mourning her death, she and her crew noticed some inconsistencies in the stories of her death and investigation revealed that she was alive.
“In the course of properly mourning her, we noticed some discrepancies in what her so-called ‘sister’ was telling us and what her friend was saying because we felt something was amiss.
“We dispatched the director of the show on a fact-finding mission who spoke with the friend before he traced the hospital where she was supposed to have been treated and we were told there and then that she didn’t die,” she said.

Following the discovery, Abiola said the Nigeria Police Force was petitioned, adding that Adewodun and her friend who announced her death were arrested.
Upon interrogation, Adewodun confessed to faking her death due to the backlash she received from the public after the podcast.
“A petition was written by our attorney to the police to complain about the situation and promptly, the police investigated and arrested both Nike and her friend.
“The Police were also set to prosecute, and upon interrogation, Nike, who admitted that she was the one who approached Biola for the interview said she freaked out because people recognised her and said she felt that if she lied that she was dead Biola would remove the video.
“Police asked her if she reached out to Biola to remove the video at any point, and she said no. Her mother, who was there at the station, corroborated the story,” the statement added.
In June, Adebayo revealed the news that the woman had taken her own life.
While her emotions betrayed her, Adebayo said, “For the first time in my life, I feel like a failure. Nike died. The lady I just interviewed who said she slept with dogs committed suicide. People heard her story. They abused me. They said we formulated the story that they were not real. I gave her a listening ear, but she didn’t tell me she was going to die.”

A Brazilian court has ordered the removal of Adele’s 2015 song Million Years Ago from radio and streaming platforms worldwide following a copyright lawsuit filed by local composer Toninho Geraes.

Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits
Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits
It is no news that in the last five years, film producers cum actresses, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have been engaged in an unspoken rivalry.
In fact, industry players claimed that their rivalry has resulted in both actresses not featuring in the same film until Bolanle Austen Peters decided to have both actresses on the set of Netflix original, ‘House of Gaa.’
The two actresses have become cinema queens after embracing and producing some of Nigeria’s highest grossings films in cinema in the last five years.
Though Akindele seems to have won the battle on the streets of cinema with at least three of her flicks grossing the highest numbers, Abraham has also given her a run for her money every year.

Hence, 2024 won’t be different as both popular producers have their films in the cinema again this December.
With all the right marketing put in place to ensure both films enjoy great time at the box office, the film stars are still not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring they surpass each other in 2024.
Interestingly, the two actresses have shared two common factors that only industry watchers have noticed for the 2024 productions. Both producers have FilmOne distributing their works, which incidentally, are fresh installments of their old franchises – Akindele returns with ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ while Abraham is in the cinema with ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee.’
On Wednesday, December 18, film lovers claimed that both actresses were spotted at the Ikeja City Mall, for meet and greet with fans individually.
It is unsure if the rivalry will see an end as both producers have pitched their tents with a December release in the cinema.
Keen watchers also believe the rivalry might grow further with the entrant of Mercy Aigbe, who seems to have jumped on the wagon after the releases of her films, ‘Ada Omo Daddy’ and ‘Thin Line,’ in December 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies
Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies
Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.
In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.
Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.
He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.
On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:
“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”
In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.
The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.
However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.
The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.
Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:
“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.
“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
