  • Yemi Solade rejects idea of prioritising church over work on Sundays

    Yemi Solade rejects idea of prioritising church over work on Sundays

    Veteran actor Yemi Solade has expressed his disapproval of the notion that actors should give priority to church attendance instead of work on Sundays.

    Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Solade recalled a 2013 incident where he was advised to tell producers not to schedule jobs for him on Sundays because of church commitments.

    The actor said he rejected the idea, questioning why religious obligations should take precedence over professional responsibilities.

    He further criticised certain church expectations, arguing that they can interfere with people’s livelihoods.

    Solade said, “If you see me in the church, is that how we are filming. Something happened in my church. I got into the service with my wife that year, 2013.

    “I’ve been told in the church that I should tell producers not to call me for work on Sundays. And I cursed those pastors. It is from that thing that you said I shouldn’t do on Sunday that I put my hand in my pocket and I dropped here. The notion that if you don’t attend church once life must die, probably I’ve not seen anything change.

    “Rather, I have peace, I do well. Because every day of my life, when I was going to church, I got messages or sort of disturbances. If you are not invited to one committee, then when will I have time to work?

    “There’s no way in the Bible that Sunday in the Greco-Roman calendar that I set aside for people to go and assemble and shout God and Jesus. And you’re telling me not to leave my house and go to where my chop is.

    “You are here to chop on Sunday.  Who are you telling me that I should tell? You want to ruin my career? Let me tell you, I had this Baba who fixed my AC, and I gave him money to buy some things one day, and I was calling him, and he didn’t pick up the call. Later, he told me he was in church.

    “I said, Baba, you’re in your 70s, see me at my age. If I say these things to you, you’ll cry. Do you know that you took my money to that church? You gave part of it; that blessing is mine now. It’s my money you went to drop there. If the prayer is efficacious, it will come to me. But it’s my own money, my sweat. And then you left your own business. You went to attend another man’s business”.

  • BBNaija: Adekunle defends housemates over intimate moments

    BBNaija: Adekunle defends housemates over intimate moments

    Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Adekunle, has defended contestants of the ongoing season who have been involved in intimate moments on the show.

    In a post on X, Adekunle argued that the housemates are consenting adults and not doing anything wrong by being attracted to one another, especially as the show is rated 18.

    His comments follow reactions to intimate scenes involving pairs such as Koyin and Isabella, Jason Jae and Sultana, as well as Mide and Bright Morgan.

    Adekunle cautioned against image shaming and name-calling, noting that such criticism undermines the essence of the reality show. 

    He added that many of those judging might be guilty of similar behavior away from the public eye.

    Adekunle wrote, “The only sin big brother housemates actually commit is coming on the show to entertain you guys. I can’t believe the things I’m seeing on the TL. LOL.

    “So, because consenting adults ON A RATED 18 show who are clearly attracted to each other get intimate, that’s why you guys are coming up with all these think pieces? The amount of hypocrisy I’ve witnessed from you guys this week alone is very laughable.

    “What do you guys really think happens when adults are left together in a confined space? Please let’s be real. Not one single person in that house has done anything wrong because they’re attracted to someone else. This image shaming, reputation damaging, name calling and things you guys are on, is exactly what is killing the show.

    “The gag in all of this is, the people who are pointing fingers and quick to accusations actually do much worse, with multiple people infact, but because it’s not on national tv you think you’re all saints? You all better go to church and ask for forgiveness”.
