  • Ogun Monarch calls for Mandy Kiss arrest amid marathon s3x plan

    Ogun Monarch calls for Mandy Kiss arrest amid marathon s3x plan

    The Eselu of Iselu Kingdom, Oba Ebenezer Akinyemi, has called for the arrest of social media influencer Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, known as Mandy Kiss, over her plan to attempt a marathon s3x act with 100 men.

    Mandy Kiss plans to carry out her attempt in Ikorodu, Lagos, on October 30, aiming for a Guinness World Records entry.

    The Nation reported that GWR rejected the proposal, stating it does not endorse records involving s3xual activity, as they must be measurable, verifiable, safe, and ethical.

    Despite this, Mandy Kiss reportedly plans to proceed, prompting the monarch to label her actions a public nuisance and a risk to her life.

    In an open letter to Governor Sanwo-Olu, Oba Akinyemi wrote: “Can she really survive what she plans to do? I am sure that men of the Nigeria Police Force will start arresting boys/men in Ikorodu if the ill-mannered lady dies as a result of the nonsense she is planning. The best approach to adopt is to arrest the lady who is currently constituting a public nuisance.

    “She is insisting that she will go ahead with her plan despite the rejection of her disgraceful proposal by the Guinness World Records”, the monarch said.

    He urged Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to direct the police to arrest her to prevent potential tragedy and protect Lagos’s reputation, associating it with President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.

    “From my assessment, I do not think the lady in question knows the implications of what she is venturing into. If she knows, she will not attempt the planned ugly incident.

    “Lagos State is your home state and the home state of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Mandy Kiss, whose attitude makes her look like a mentally unstable person, should not be allowed to stigmatise the name that Lagos State has built for many decades.

    “Lagos State, which parades a very disciplined First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and other great people with rich culture and highly religious and revered personalities, should not allow the ill-mannered Mandy Kiss to destroy its image of excellence,” he said.

    Oba Akinyemi also suggested that after her arrest, Mandy Kiss be returned to her family in Ogun State for psychiatric rehabilitation under Governor Dapo Abiodun’s oversight.

    “Let me also propose that after arresting Mandy Kiss, she should be sent back to her parents in Ogun State, where my no-nonsense Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, will direct her re-arrest for the purpose of sending her to a rehabilitation centre like a psychiatric hospital for her insanity to be removed,” he added.

    He further advocated for stricter government regulation of social media to curb moral decay among youths, citing the negative influence of such content on society.

    “Without mincing words, the conduct of Mandy Kiss and her co-travellers has now necessitated the need for the Federal Government of Nigeria to regulate the way our youths behave, especially on social media. The moral decay in society needs to be given priority attention before everything goes out of hand.

    “Our children who go on the internet for legitimate reasons will be exposed to the arrant nonsense that some content creators like Mandy Kiss engage in, and this practice may increase the number of youths engaging in social vices.

    “As we all know, some countries where socially unacceptable films are produced regulate the activities of such practitioners on social media platforms, so Nigeria should not be an exception if it toes the noble way of regulating activities of morally deficient youths on the internet,” he said.

  • How I battled, overcame depression – Chimamanda Adichie

    How I battled, overcame depression – Chimamanda Adichie

    Renowned writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has revealed her struggles with depression and how it affected her passion for writing fiction.

    In an interview with CNN Africa, Adichie described depression as a constant shadow that left her deeply unhappy and unable to write during that period.

    She admitted that while she tried to mask her unhappiness and fill the creative void with speaking engagements, she often returned feeling miserable.

    She noted that she found comfort in reading books and poetry, which eventually helped her reconnect with language and her craft.

     “I did a number of things. I tried to distract myself. I said yes to many more things than I ordinarily would because I just thought the writing is not happening. Okay, why don’t I just go and give the speech? And part of it was also, maybe if I go, then I’ll get inspired… but then I wouldn’t. Then I’d come back and be miserable.

    “But I also think I did things like read the books I love. I read a lot more poetry in that period because I think poetry really helps with language. But also in the end, it’s just about waiting and hoping. You’re not in control of this thing”, she said.

    The writer said she views creativity as a spiritual experience, stating that stories come from ancestors and spirits speaking to her.

    “There are stories that are — so I call it the ancestors and the spirits speaking to me. So they’re really speaking to me now. And I’m very happy to be running around and singing and dancing for this novel, Dream Count, because it means a lot to me”, she said.

    She expressed gratitude after overcoming her struggles and finishing her novel, “Dream Count,” which has found success with readers.

    “I’m grateful that I finally finished it. I’m grateful that it’s out. I’m grateful that it’s found its readers. I’m grateful that, in some ways, really, honestly, it’s kind of everything I hoped it would be.”

    He spoke about how depression made him live without plans or hope, struggling to think about the future.

    “I didn’t want to think about tomorrow. The worst question you could ask me was my five-year goal. I didn’t even want to be alive tomorrow,” he said.

    Fame is superficial, true identity lies in values – Lateef Adedimeji

    Actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji has stressed that fame is fleeting and should never define a person’s worth.

    Adedimeji wrote, “Fame is Fake! The truth is- fame doesn’t define you, identity does. Your values, your purpose. Fame is fake, actually. It’s not real. It can come and go.

    “A lot of people come with the mindset of fame first. You come looking for fame without the craft. When the fame comes, what will the fame meet? What becomes of you? Fame is more like you’re here now, everybody hails you.

    “When you go back to your house, you’re going to be you and you alone. So, at that time when it is you and you alone, who are you?”

  • Humility often mistaken for weakness in music industry – Asake

    Humility often mistaken for weakness in music industry – Asake

    Singer Asake has argued being humble in the music industry is often seen as a weakness, while displaying ego can make artists more attractive to fans.

    Asake, who appeared in a viral video on Tiktok, said that people are more interested in the end result rather than the process behind an artist’s work.

    He noted that artists who appear humble are often taken for granted, while those with an air of confidence or ego are seen as less accessible and therefore more appealing.

    He advised artists to focus on delivering results and letting their work speak for itself, rather than seeking validation or trying to show the process behind their craft.

    “As an artiste, if you’re humble, they take you for granted. But if you have ego they feel like you’re not accessible then they like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than showing them. They don’t really appreciate it. Do what you need to do and just go,” he said.

    The situation escalated further when Zita threw a plate of Indomie at Rooboy, who then hit her.
