"He said YES" - ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett announces engagement to his partner.

Jussie Smollett is engaged.

The 43-year-old ‘Empire’ actor revealed he proposed to partner Jabari Redd and he “said yes”.

Jussie shared some pictures on Instagram and wrote: “I’ll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé… He said YES.”

The series of photos showed a frame-by-frame timeline of how Jussie popped the question on a sidewalk outside a restaurant.

A man who based abroad has been away from his wife and 2 kids for 5 years. It's an Asian country but I won't mention the name.

He communicates with his family not that the commutation is poor. He sends money too according to what he said.

Few months ago 2 different people who returned to Nigeria and went back told him they saw his wife pregnant..

He could not believe it, he wanted to visit Nigeria though so he planned without telling his wife.

He returned to Nigeria, he told his wife that he sent something to Nigeria through DHL that she should go and pick it.

He gave his wife a fake tracking number that she should go there to pick the item up. He made sure his wife has left for the DHL office. He got ready immediately and there to see her.

Lo and Behold, she is pregnant and has been hiding it from him. He left without letting her see him.

He has been in a hotel for 3 days now shattered and disappointed. He hasn't taken his wife's calls and hasn't talked to his kids.

If this is your, how would you handle it.

lost myself, drowned me so much i became a shadow, lost my businesses, mental health in disarray, shook my faith, friends became strangers

Since I bought a car, I started finding it very hard to date a man who does not have a car. In my head, I am usually imagining how the experience will be like. Will I be parking my car at home while we use taxi to go out on dates or will I carry my car, probably drop him at him place after the date before going home instead of the other way round and being the one driving a man🧐

Abi I will carry my car key give man?🤣😂

See ehh, is not like there’s anything wrong about a man not having a car at the moment but, it became weird for me to date one. There’s one I met few days ago, from my observation and our conversation, the guy is okay o. His only offense was just that, he does not own a car and I felt like it was affect my steeze🤣

This was previously not a problem for me at all when I didn’t have a car and I know there are woman who naturally don’t like dating men who do not own a car despite not having and it is still very VALID but my own issues about it started since I bought a car and I don’t know why.

I feel like; being the one to drive a man up and down is a masculine trait and i want to be feminine 😂😂

One thing that also scare me about this, is that, a lot of Nigerian mèn have insecurîty issues. Situation like this may bruisè the ego of an insècure man and he will start telling you “is it because you have a car in every little misunderstanding”.

Late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu's WILL out!!!
‎
‎June 16, (THEWILL) – A year after the passing of Chief (Engr.) Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the content of his Will has been made public.

The document, released through his Will administrator, Chief Chukwuma Ekomaru (SAN), outlines the careful distribution of the late elder statesman’s assets among his wife, children, and selected beneficiaries.

According to a reliable source, Chief Iwuanyanwu bequeathed his Port Harcourt Road residence in Owerri—fondly referred to as “Legacy House”—to his wife, Lolo Frances.

In the Will, he expressly instructed that the property must never be sold.

Lolo Frances was also handed ownership of Magil Furniture, a business formerly operated by Iwuanyanwu’s late first wife, Eudora.

Additionally, she received shares in various landed properties located in Orji, Works Layout, and Naze—all within Owerri.

Her son inherited his father’s official residence in Abuja.

The family’s London property is to be sold, with 60% of the proceeds set aside for the education of Iwuanyanwu’s last son.

His first son, Jide, is to receive 30% of the sum, while 10% goes to Ezinne, who currently resides in the property, to enable her secure alternative accommodation.

The Will also stipulates that the Glass House near the Orji flyover be placed in a public trust, to be managed by a board of directors for charitable purposes.

Several other properties in Abuja, Imo, and other parts of the country were equitably distributed among his five children, who reportedly expressed joy and gratitude over their late father’s sense of fairness, honour, and compassion.

It was further revealed that 15 additional properties were not included in the final Will. Sources say the elder statesman may have been unable to finalize decisions regarding these assets due to the illness that eventually led to his death.

Interestingly, Chief Iwuanyanwu also included a condition in the Will: that his wife, Lolo Frances, would forfeit all properties willed to her should she choose to remarry.

Efforts to reach Frances and the children for comments proved unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.

Ladies Once you’re 25 don’t do talking stage for more than 2 weeks. Go on 2/3 dates with him , know where he lives, find out what he does, meet a good friend of his , find out about his family. Leave the rest to God and chance but don’t waste time on talking stage, it’s a scam.

Move on to relationship sharply.

If it doesn’t work, move on. Don’t waste your time.

A child is ill, and treatment cost 3 million naira.
Mother becomes a cleaner, sells Ankara at night, and washes clothes for people who also gifted her few amounts to add to the money needed. She raised two million in two years.

Only for the father who didn't save anything, stumbled on the money while looking for something at home, then took it to go gamble and lodge his girlfriend in a hotel for one week.

His wife discovers money is missing and has been crying 😩😩😩, she carries her child and leaves the house to go stay with her boss, who gave her an accommodation in her boys' quarter, her bosses husband pays for his medical treatment and young boy is now ok and doing well.

Husband now goes to report the boss for kidnapping his child and wife😩😩😩, issue gets to police station, them done detain the husband for stealing 😂😂😂 twomillion.

Student declared missing by mother expelled for drug peddling – Babcock

A student of Babcock University, Illishan Remo, Ogun State, who was declared missing by his mother, Oladipupo Siwajuola, has been expelled by the institution’s management for engaging in fetish practices and drug peddling among others.

The Babcock’s Director of Marketing and Communication, Joshua Suleiman, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

PUNCH Metro recalls that Siwajuola’s disappearance was brought to light by his mother, Fijabi Oyindamola Omotayo, who took to Facebook on May 3 to demand the whereabouts of her son and to allege negligence on the part of the institution.

Following her outcry, the student was later found but Babcock University management revealed that he had left the campus without authorisation.

The institution had also indicated that it could institute a lawsuit against the parent over what they described as a “sensational and misleading” social media outburst.

In the Wednesday statement, Babcock varsity disclosed that Siwajuola had deliberately left the campus without clearance and disguised himself in a hoodie to sneak out through the university’s Teaching Hospital gate.

Suleiman added that the student, upon returning to the campus on May 15, was invited by the Department of Secret Service, where he confessed to several acts of misconduct which were against the institution’s guidelines.

He continued, “Among them was the purchase of black soap from a traditional herbalist for N100,000, which contradicted his mother’s earlier claim that she had given it to him to treat a skin condition. Siwajuola admitted that the soap was intended for ritual purposes, as part of a “Yahoo Yahoo Plus” scheme, a slang term for internet fraud mixed with fetish practices.

“He revealed he was engaging in fetish practices in an attempt to get rich quickly.

“He also confessed to drug peddling, borrowing N500,000 from an online loan app to fund gambling, and impersonating another student to open a bank account.”

The statement further noted that Siwajuola had sold his phone without authorisation and misled the buyer by claiming that his father had consented.

While contrasting Siwajuola’s mother’s claim that her son was found by his secondary school friends, the university disclosed that it was Sodiq’s mother, the parent of a friend he stayed with in Lagos, who discovered his presence in their home and alerted his family after noticing the growing online controversy.

Following investigations, Babcock University stated that Siwajuola was found liable for multiple offences, including “unauthorised exit from campus, possession and use of fetish materials, drug peddling, impersonation and dishonesty, and unauthorised sale of personal property.”

The university added that it had no choice but to expel Siwajuola per global best practices.

“While we recognise the emotional weight of this decision, especially for the family involved, our foremost responsibility remains the safety and moral integrity of all students entrusted to our care,” Suleiman said.

While expressing displeasure towards the mother’s public outcry, the university said it would not be instituting a lawsuit against her because of the conduct of Siwajuola’s father.

“These claims were not only false but also misleading.

“However, because of the responsible conduct shown by the student’s father, the university will not pursue a libel case at this time,” Suleiman concluded.
