He described Chioma as a loving and compassionate woman whose kindness deeply touched him, adding that he wouldn’t miss the wedding for anything in the world.

“The union God has blessed. Because I am bereaved, I almost didn’t want to go all the way to Miami in my trying time.

As we celebrate this beautiful union, I pray God bless them beyond their imagination,” he wrote.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, the Imo-born businessman revealed that visa challenges prevented him from attending the glamorous event, despite being one of Davido’s closest friends.

“I woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I’m happy and I’m still sad at the same time,” he wrote. “Sometimes God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless regardless of all you may think you have.”

Cubana Chief Priest also addressed online criticism regarding his absence, stating that the comments have motivated him to reapply for a US visa.

“I appreciate the bashing because that has given me multiple reasons and proof to apply again. @usinnigeria, do it for me this time,” he pleaded. “You can clearly see how disappointed and hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding. You need to give me access to get my fat ass into America.”

“The largest part of me, which is my family—my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent, and sophisticated wife @deangels—is there to share in this luxurious, blissful experience, so I’m there in body and spirit,” he added.

He ended his post with another appeal to the US Embassy: “@usinnigeria I’m in again next week. Please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.”

BBNaija 10: Koyin admits lying about his age during premiere

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Konyisola, popularly known as Koyin, has stirred conversations among viewers after confessing that he lied about his age during the show’s premiere.

Speaking in a candid conversation with fellow housemate, Gigi Jasmine, on Friday, Koyin revealed that he is actually 25 years old, not 21 as he initially claimed. The earlier declaration had placed him among the youngest contestants this season, alongside Joanna, and had drawn attention from fans and fellow housemates.

“I’m 25 years old and not 21. I had to reduce my age because of my modelling career,” Koyin admitted. He explained that in the modelling industry, youth is often considered an asset, leading many aspiring models to adjust their age for better opportunities. “Sometimes, being younger opens more doors in modelling. It was a strategic decision, not something I’m proud of,” he said.

Gigi, although surprised, praised Koyin for being open about his truth. “You have some high level of emotional intelligence which I appreciate a lot,” she told him, urging him to embrace authenticity moving forward.

This season has seen a wave of personal confessions from housemates. Earlier in the week, fellow contestant Ivatar also admitted to giving a false age during the show’s launch. While she initially claimed to be 40 years old, she later clarified that she was joking and is actually 37.

Koyin’s revelation has sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans expressed disappointment over the dishonesty, others sympathised, noting the pressures faced by public figures—especially in competitive industries like modelling and entertainment.

BBNaija Season 10 continues to unfold with drama, surprises, and personal revelations that keep viewers hooked. Whether this confession will impact Koyin’s standing in the house remains to be seen, but it has certainly intensified the conversations both inside and outside Biggie’s house.

How I overcame my leaked s3x tape scandal – Tiwa Savage

Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has spoken candidly about surviving the 2021 leak of her s3x tape, an incident that sparked intense public controversy after she revealed she was being blackmailed over it.

In a recent YouTube interview with Zeze Mills, the award-winning singer described the tape’s release — alongside the death of her father — as the lowest moments of her career.

“My dad died and my s3x tape was released. The only way I could have survived was not to think about it,” Tiwa revealed.

According to her, the key to overcoming the scandal was refusing to dwell on it and focusing instead on gratitude for life and her career.

“Being here on the couch with you is such a blessing. Just the fact that you even want to talk to me, that people still want to hear what I have to say after so many years, feels good. I’ve gone through so much, but have I really enjoyed the moment?” she said.

On her personal life, Tiwa Savage admitted she has never truly experienced romantic love despite her age and past relationships.

“I don’t think I’ve experienced true love apart from my son. When I look back at my relationships, I realise it wasn’t love — just infatuation. At the time, I thought it was love, even when I was married, but it wasn’t,” she confessed.

The singer’s openness has sparked fresh conversations about resilience, self-worth, and the pressures of fame in the entertainment industry.

This is not the first time food has been a source of tension for Kuture. He had earlier admitted in the house that he is very particular about food and does not joke with it.
