  • Why Nigerians should embrace polygamy, by Bimbo Akintola

    Why Nigerians should embrace polygamy, by Bimbo Akintola

    Veteran actress Bimbo Akintola has called for Nigerians to embrace polygamy as a part of the country’s tradition.

    In a recent interview with Biola Bayo, Akintola argued that polygamy was a common practice in Yoruba families, where men often have multiple wives.

    She stated that the current perceived shortage of men in society makes it practical for two women to share one husband.

    She said, “With the way the world is going, people should embrace polygamy. You say marriage is everything, so if we don’t have enough men according to statistics, does that not mean two women to one man?

    “I also believe it is part of our tradition. Most of Generation X, Yorubas, and even our parents had two to three wives. It was something we saw while growing up. Maybe we also noticed the disadvantages, but some people say there are advantages too.

    Akintola shared a personal anecdote about a woman who brought a second wife into her home to alleviate pressure from her husband’s higher sexual needs.

    According to Akintola, some women may even welcome sharing a husband as a way to maintain peace in the household.

    “I know some women who would rather have a second wife. I even know someone who married a second wife for her husband so that she could have peace. They didn’t have the same libido. His was higher than hers, so she thought, ‘this man will kill me, let me find support,’ and she married a wife for him”, she added.

    She also advised parents who prefer monogamy to focus on raising boys with strong values, teaching them discipline and respect from a young age to prevent infidelity and promiscuity.

    “All these men we are talking about, who are polygamous and cheat, were raised by someone. Raise your son to be that kind of man so that future women, your daughters, will have men like that to marry”, she added.

    Why I regret featuring Idowest on hit song “Legbegbe” – Mr. Real

    Singer Victor Okafor popularly known as Mr. Real has expressed regret over featuring Idowest on his hit track “Legbegbe”, claiming it limited the song’s potential and his career growth.

    In a recent interview on Hip TV Trending, Mr. Real revealed that he wished he had released the record as a solo project, stating that it would have elevated him to the same status as some of Nigeria’s biggest stars, including Wizkid and Burna Boy.

    Mr. Real claimed that a potential remix collaboration with Wizkid on “Legbegbe” was scrapped due to complications allegedly involving D’banj.

    He said the missed collaboration with Wizkid would have significantly boosted “Legbegbe”‘s success both in Nigeria and globally.

    “Legbegbe” released in 2017, became a huge hit across Nigeria, catapulting Mr. Real to fame.

    However, the singer stated that certain choices made during its rollout prevented him from fully capitalising on the song’s success.

    Mr. Real stated: “I regret bringing Idowest into that song… I wish I had sung that song alone. If I had sung that song alone, I’d be on the same level as Burna Boy and Wizkid.” He added that Wizkid’s remix plan didn’t materialize “all because of D’banj…”

    Liz explained that she was initially scared about undergoing the scan and informed the medical staff about her fears.

    She said after removing her earrings, bra, waist beads, and chain, she nearly proceeded with the scan without remembering the pins in her wig.

    “Yes. Some things have to be posted on social media. For people to know where to step on and where not to step on. I had an appointment this morning for 10.40am. And I also have another appointment for 2pm. I had my hair done. On getting to my appointment, it’s an MRI appointment. When I got in, I was scared. And I made it known to the person attending to me that I was scared.

    “I was almost ready to go in. But I remembered that there is pins in my hair. There is pins in my wig. So, I had to quickly remind her that my wig has pins. She said, oh, I was about to ask you,” Liz said.

    Overcome with emotion, Liz broke down in tears, expressing gratitude to God for saving her from a potentially fatal mistake.

    She said in Yoruba, “Truly, God saved me, I can say it boldly, anywhere. What would have happened? If God had not protected me, who knows, maybe I would have died”.

  • Phyna accuses Dangote company of negligence, insensitivity after sister’s death

    Phyna accuses Dangote company of negligence, insensitivity after sister’s death

    Big Brother Naija reality star Phyna has expressed outrage and grief over her sister Ruth’s tragic death, which she claims was calculated and planned.

    In a series of emotional posts on Instagram, Phyna accused Dangote Group, a billionaire businessman’s company, of being insensitive and irresponsible in their handling of her sister’s burial expenses.

    “Also on Sept 13th, the day of burial, Dangote groups did not pick up all calls made to them from us, as we were told the bills were not paid, but they claim it was, the mortuary was also covered by the family,” she said.

    According to Phyna, Dangote Group covered only her sister’s bills at Lagoon Hospital, while the family paid other bills from Auchi to Irrua without reimbursement.

    “The bills from Auchi down to Irrua were covered by the family; no refund has been made.

    “In the time of all the troubles, @dangotegroup said to the public that they’ve paid all hospital bills. The only bill Dangote covered was Lagoon Hospital,” she said..

    She also claimed that the company did not pick up calls on the day of the burial, despite claiming to have paid all hospital bills.

    Phyna shared a letter sent to her father by Dangote Group, asking him to acknowledge receipt of funds for burial expenses.

    She accused the company of impersonating her father by writing the letter themselves and sending it to him to sign.

    According to her, she finds the action particularly hurtful, questioning why the company couldn’t have asked the family for an acknowledgement letter instead of drafting one themselves.

    She said: “This letter that was sent to my dad this evening is really paining me, like @dangotegroup you killed my sister, do massive PR, una give the girl papa money for burial, una con still by una self write acknowledgement letter impersonating my father and you sent to him to sign, so that una plan of after burial nothing else go stand because by then the man go don sign this letter.

    “@dangotegroup, if you needed an acknowledgement letter or receipt for the funds you sent for the burial, you would have kindly asked for the acknowledgement letter from the family, and then we would have provided it. Why typing as my dad? And sending it to him to sign.

    “This should never happen again. If you need something, you ask, as you have always done, because since you can type the letter for us, that means a lot of papers you were asking for while the girl was alive, you would have been able to type it then. Right now, it seems everything was well calculated”.
