Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma has openly expressed his support for divorce, stating that he rejoices when a marriage ends. In a candid interview on The Moraya Show, Bovi explained that divorce often brings relief to at least one partner who was struggling in an unhappy union.

According to Bovi, celebrating divorce stems from his belief that no one should endure suffering in a relationship. He remarked, “I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage. I will not suffer anybody neither will I want anybody to suffer me.” The comedian emphasized that ending a marriage is preferable to remaining in a toxic environment.

Bovi, who has been married for 17 years since the age of 29, also acknowledged that his own marriage has had its challenges. He noted, “That is not to say my marriage has been easy for 17 years. It has not. I have been providing for 17 years nonstop.”

His remarks highlight a perspective that prioritizes personal well-being and mental health over societal pressure to stay in a failing marriage.

Nigerian music star Mr P, formerly of the P-Square duo, has clapped back at a social media user who suggested he should call it a career. The comment came after he posted footage of himself dancing in a new music video, with the critic arguing that Afrobeats is music for younger artists.

Rather than let the remark slide, the singer took to his platform to remind fans of his credentials. He highlighted his ability to sing, dance, play multiple instruments, and his formal musical training. “Put some respect on the name Peter Okoye aka Mr P,” he wrote, making it clear he won’t be silenced by age-related criticism.

Mr P also suggested that many of the negative comments come from P-Square fans who haven’t moved on from the group’s breakup. He urged them to accept the split and focus on his solo journey, which he described as “one of the best things that has ever happened” to him.

To underscore his relevance, Mr P revealed that he recently inked a five-year, multi-million-dollar deal with an international distributor. The agreement covers three albums, and he made it clear that nothing will slow his momentum. “Nobody can stop this movement. The train has left the station. It’s Mr P Forever!” he concluded.

During the first episode of the Big Brother Naija Season 10 reunion, which aired on Monday night, former housemate Tracy opened up about her biggest regret from the show. She confessed that reviewing the highlights made her realize she hadn’t fully embraced her experience inside Biggie’s house.

The aspiring actress, who left her job in the oil and gas sector to participate, admitted she wished she had been more vibrant and active throughout her stay. Tracy attributed her lackluster performance to inadequate preparation, explaining that the decision to join the show was difficult because those close to her discouraged her from participating. She revealed that she arrived emotionally unprepared and felt disheartened when she saw how well-prepared her fellow housemates were. “Watching the highlights, I saw that I didn’t do much. There’s a saying that you only live once, and I feel like I didn’t live once in Biggie’s house,” she shared.

Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has once again taken to social media to voice her displeasure with her estranged husband, Frederick Leonard, and a woman she claims is his romantic partner. In a recent Instagram story, she shared a video of the pair and referred to them as “shameless lots.”

According to Ovire, the woman in question is already married. She urged both of them to appear at the customary court on June 23rd for the second time, emphasizing that they should not avoid the hearing. She stated, “You said you wanted a divorce, yet you didn’t show up when you were served. Please don’t avoid customary court for the 2nd time on June 23rd because I’m coming with receipts. Let’s make this divorce done and dusted so both of you can finally be together.”

Ovire also criticized Leonard, calling him a “so-called traditional Igbo man” who is involved with another Igbo man’s wife, a mother of four children. She mentioned that despite Leonard running to a blogger to deny her claims, he was served with details of her petition and yet refused to appear in court, instead sending his lawyer.

During the first episode of the Big Brother Naija reunion, which aired on Monday, Zita opened up about her breakup with fellow housemate Danboskid. She shared that the man she got to know outside the house was not the same person she fell for during the show. According to Zita, the connection they had inside the BBNaija house didn’t translate into real life, leading to their decision to part ways.

Zita, a former Season 10 contestant, emphasized that despite the romantic split, she and Danboskid remain on good terms. “Danboskid and I are cool and we are friends. Danboskid on the show was different from post-show,” she stated during the reunion. She clarified that their friendship continues even after the breakup.

Danboskid also confirmed the end of their romance but insisted that it was a mutual and amicable decision. “We are still cool,” he simply said. The reunion segment gave fans a glimpse into the dynamics that often shift when reality TV relationships face the real world.

The highly anticipated BBNaija Season 10 Reunion kicked off on Monday, June 8, but fans quickly noticed one notable absence: former housemate Ivatar. While all 29 other contestants, including disqualified housemate Faith, were present, the South Africa-based DJ was nowhere to be seen.

Viewers and Ivatar’s supporters have been vocal about their confusion, taking to social media to demand answers. So far, neither Ivatar nor the show’s organizers have commented on why she missed the gathering.

The first episode of the reunion didn’t disappoint in drama, as the feud between Thelma Lawson and Big Soso took center stage. The heated exchange erupted when Big Soso intervened on behalf of Isabella, leading to a tense argument. Big Soso boasted about her wealth, claiming she owns a UK-based company and is richer than Thelma, a skincare entrepreneur from Port Harcourt. Thelma countered that Big Soso had no business inserting herself into a conflict that wasn’t hers, to which Big Soso replied that she could afford to, sparking cheers from other housemates.

With Ivatar’s whereabouts still a mystery, fans are eagerly awaiting any official statement. Meanwhile, the reunion promises more revelations and confrontations in the episodes to come.

During the Big Brother Naija Season 10 reunion, which debuted on Monday night, former contestant Kola shared his experiences with love. He described his romantic journey as challenging, saying that love has subjected him to ‘shege’—a Nigerian slang for hardship or punishment. Despite the difficulties, Kola expressed gratitude for having fallen in love at all, noting that many people never get to experience it. ‘Love has shown me shege. The funny thing is that some people die without ever falling in love. So, the joy is that every time you fall in love, you should be happy that you are in love because not everyone gets to experience it,’ he stated.

Kola’s remarks come after his time in the BBNaija house, where he persistently pursued fellow housemate Dede. However, Dede did not return his feelings, and after the show, she clarified that even without a boyfriend, she would not consider Kola as a partner, explaining that the Canada-based businessman did not fit her ideal type.

Ghanaian-American artist Amaarae has stirred the pot by declaring that Janet Jackson, rather than her legendary brother Michael Jackson, deserves the title “King of Pop.” In a recent interview with Pitchfork, the ‘Sad Girls Love Money’ singer lavished praise on Janet’s 1997 album ‘The Velvet Rope,’ calling it a masterpiece of vulnerability, sensuality, and experimentation.

She stated, “Every Janet Jackson album is incredible, but ‘The Velvet Rope’ stands above the rest. If I had been old enough in 1997, I would have played it on repeat. It’s raw, sexy, aggressive, and boundary-pushing. Janet, to me, is the true king of pop. No disrespect to Michael.”

Amaarae’s comments have reignited debates about pop royalty, with fans and critics weighing in on whether Janet’s innovative work has been overshadowed by her brother’s monumental legacy. Her bold assertion challenges long-held assumptions about who truly reigns in pop music.

The Metropolitan Police have taken three individuals into custody following the fatal stabbing of British-Nigerian musician Mark Orabiyi in London. The incident has triggered a full-scale murder investigation.

According to authorities, the 35-year-old musician suffered multiple stab wounds during an altercation at a residence on Rayleigh Road. Emergency services responded to distress calls but were unable to save him.

Officers arrived alongside paramedics and found the victim with critical injuries in the garden of the property, where he was later pronounced dead. While formal identification is pending, police have confirmed the deceased is Mark Orabiyi, and specialist officers are supporting his family.

In a heartfelt statement, family members remembered him as a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose life touched many. They said: “Mark brought joy, kindness, and warmth to everyone around him. His extraordinary talent and generous spirit impacted countless lives, and his memory will forever remain with us.”

Police revealed that a 27-year-old man was arrested and later released on bail pending further inquiries. A 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were also arrested but subsequently released with no further action. Additionally, a second victim, a 20-year-old man, was treated in hospital for stab wounds that were not life-threatening.

Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, leading the investigation, described the killing as tragic and appealed for public assistance. “This is a deeply distressing incident. Our thoughts are with Mark’s family. We urge anyone who was in the area or has relevant footage to contact us,” she said.

Inquiries are ongoing as detectives work to determine the events leading to the fatal attack and identify those responsible.
