Denilson Igwe, who is reportedly the co-founder of Mark Angel Comedy, has accused his colleague Mark Angel of making substantial earnings while only giving small amounts to him and the child actor, Emmanuella.

Mark Angel’s comedy became popular around 2014, primarily featuring three cast members: two men and a minor.

During a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Denilson Igwe revealed that he was the one who started the group, with Mark Angel handling their online presence.

Igwe claimed that Mark monetized their social media pages and kept most of the earnings for himself, giving only small monthly payments to Emmanuella.

Igwe also shared that Mark purchased a car from the earnings but pretended it was a gift.

He said, “I was the one that started Mark Angel Comedy. Mark was the elder brother of the house, working as a security guard in Port Harcourt while I was a cameraman for a man named Ifeanyi. I took his camera and, in our free time, we would make those comedies. Mark created a Facebook page, and I didn’t even know when it got monetized. Suddenly, in 2014, he bought a car and said it was a gift.”

He continued, “I hadn’t received any money at that time, and he would pay Emmanuella N20K monthly. In 2016, he gave me N50K, saying the comedy wasn’t making money, even though we were earning $160,000. If you talk about him, it’s either you die or have an accident.”

Polygamy best form of marriage for Africa – Okey Bakassi

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.

In his view, monogamy is failing, with many individuals only pretending to be content in such unions.

Bakassi shared his perspective during an appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast.

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

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

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.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me.”

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.
