I really don’t have the time (to cheat) as i’m always workin and whatever time left is spent with family.

On whether he cooks for his wife, IK said:

Yes, I love cooking, The beauty of cooking is when you see somebody enjoying your food. The beauty for me is when I see the person I love enjoying my meal. She’s actually smilling because of the meal I ccoked for her. I try to do everything and anything to maake her happy and If cooking is one of them…. She cocoks for me, I cook for her. It’s just beautiful as far as I’m concerned.

On why he thinks men cheat, IK said;

People say it is in every man’s DNA but I dont think so. It’s a mindset. If you hang around people that cheat, you would probably become a cheater, and vice versa. I don’t think every man’s cheat. It’s a spiritual thing for some. Some Men cheat because they want to cheat. Same with women, it’s a personal decision.

Brazilian international, Neymar was sent off the pitch on Sunday after a second yellow card minutes apart as PSG visited Marseille.

Neymar was first shown the yellow card for dissent in the 85th minute, the Brazilian again reacted poorly to a foul from Lucas Ocampos, who’s theatrical dive earned the world’s most expensive player the second yellow card.

The red means that Neymar has become the first scorer to be sent off in a league match between PSG and Marseille in 25 years, having cancelled out Luiz Gustavo’s opener in the first half.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji smoked Weed; oh yes he once did. The actor said so when he was discussing about the continuous rise of drug use by the youths in the nation.

In an interview with Punch, the actor blamed poor parenting and peer pressure for the problem. He said:

I would say the problem of drugs in the entertainment industry especially with young musicians is a problem of poor parenting.

We must inculcate in our children a good moral compass. When they go wrong, we must not fail to correct them. We should not condone certain things and make our children feel like they can get away with certain things.

That is one of the problems we have with the so-called influential people in the society. They are always ready to bail out their children irrespective of what the children did, not minding the fact that whatever your son does to another person, that is also another human being.

A number of parents in America for example, who choose to be their children’s managers do that because of the bad influence they fear that they might be exposed to either from their peers, managers or other places.

“You know we are Ijaw people. Look at our river, see the pollution inside. Look at how oil has destroyed our river. The river has changed colour.

“I’m at Ekpeye land to show you how oil has destroyed our river while the people are enjoying our money in Abuja. They are enjoying our money in Lagos and we’re suffering.

“Now, the ever-lying Buhari just travel with his family in our Presidential jet bought with Ekpeye and Ijaw people’s money to enjoy in Turkey.

“Look at the water. Unfit water polluted with oil. This is the plight of Ijaw people; the plight of the oil producing people. This is the plight of the oil bearing community. My people are digging sand to feed and they say we are lazy people. My people are bringing sound from the river to build houses while our oil is making Buhari fly the Presidential jet.

“My people want to build house, they want live well and that is what we’re asking for but they give our oil blocks to different people to our own expense while we are poor. The owners of the oil are walking on foot; living wretched life but people who do not know anything about our oil are living in wealth.
“The pollution of our water and the neglect by Buhari show he is satan.”
