GistMedia0: Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has sparked conversations online after issuing a heartfelt yet humorous ultimatum to his daughter, Valerie, as she celebrated her 25th birthday.
In a post shared on his official social media handle, the legendary actor, known for his roles in classic Nigerian movies, used the occasion to offer words of wisdom, self-reflection, and life direction to his daughter, also known by her native name “Uloaku” (meaning “House of Wealth”).
Kanayo encouraged Valerie to take the day seriously, describing it as a time for “sober reflections” and urging her to evaluate life by identifying what to “copy, paste, and delete.” He also touched on a recurring issue between them — his constant absence due to work — and explained that his frequent travels are a result of his continued demand as a successful actor.
“My dear daughter, Uloaku, congratulations on your 25th birthday. From little Valerie to a prospective Madam Uloaku,” he wrote. “Your issue with me has always been ‘you are always travelling, hardly at home.’ Uloaku, good actors travel because they are always hired. Thank God I am still very active and relevant. Try and tolerate me.”
In a light-hearted but pointed conclusion, Kanayo gave his daughter a three-year deadline to hit one of three major life milestones: get married, pursue a PhD, or move out of his house.
“In all these, please ensure that before 2027, you are either walking down the aisle, going for your PhD, or walking out of my house. Simpliciter,” he said.
My dear, if what you said is true then I truly understand your pain. Some of us are in this shoes right now and will be indifferent if our parents died. Some parents damaged their kids emotionally, especially parents of the 80s and 90s. It’s well
ZaddyJ: What does the future holds for this two chaps in Nigeria where the jobs meant for them have been politicized by our politician whose relatives have no such background as the omoluabi twins? It’s not about getting the first class and the best graduating student but getting into the right place is what matters. Except , they have connections otherwise Which way Nigeria ?
Getting the first class is good, with it they can get scholarships to study abroad. Please don’t discourage people that want to study for a first class. First class is the way to go

Glimpsetv: See What a Hair Vendor Did to a Customer Who Ordered ₦45K Worth of Hair With a Fake Alert
A customer ordered a ₦45,000 wig using a fake payment alert—see what the vendor sent her in return! A hair vendor caused a stir online after filming herself packaging hair trimmings from 90 different wigs for a customer who attempted to scam her with a fake payment alert for a ₦45,000 order.
Determined to teach the customer a lesson, the vendor decided to “fulfill” the order in her own way. She humorously explained, “She ordered hair, and we’re sending her hair—actually, she’s getting more than ₦45,000 worth! Imagine receiving particles from 90 different wigs,” she said, laughing.
She further revealed that they would charge the customer ₦6,000 for delivery, claiming it covered the cost of packaging and the stress involved. The vendor also wished the customer would open the package at the park, knowing that scammers are often eager to check their orders or attempt to deceive others.
The video has sparked widespread reactions and laughter online, with many praising the vendor for her sense of humor and clever response to the scam attempt.

SoftSport: Natasha's petition is more about political rivalry than legal grounds, as Senator Imasuen's disbarment in New York shouldn't define his ability to serve in Nigeria, especially since he wasn't disbarred here.

obembet: I believe most of us love our Parents equally but, we tend to be a little closer showing our Mother our love better. But why in some homes the children after making it in life come back to take better care of their moms than their dads?
Of course, I know that some fathers are what I call deadbeat dads who must have bottles of beers every evening at the expense of hungry children.
But there are alot of father out there who care so much about Thier children.
Another thing we need to understand is that Nothing brings a man more happiness than having a successful son, seeing his son surpass him. In this context, fathers often raise their sons with a firm hand, instilling lessons through tough love and challenging environments. But many of us don't see this, we only focus on hash and hard training.
Many children still don't know that some moms manipulate the children emotionally to believe they care for them more than their fathers do.
My TAKE
As a father, apart from been a responsible father, father should always try to provide things what their children want and give it to them directly. Father should no allow someone else to take Thier efforts glory.
Also, Give your kids hugs, kisses, hold hands, rub their backs, or snuggle with them. Let the children see this.
Most of nowadays mother are selfish and only care about themselves alone

Because they saw firsthand what their mothers went through in the home.
I trust that our Daughters and young Ladies have more sense than to allow themselves to be 'mentored' by social, religious and logical miscreants like this 'Runs Wife".
How can an adult be playing such a game? I remember I was once playing a truth or dare game, when the ‘dare’ was something I couldn’t do, I backed out with vex immediately. Let me see who will force me na
It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life, but for one groom, the sudden appearance of his ex-girlfriend brought back a flood of memories and emotions.
As the ex-girlfriend made her way to greet the groom and his new wife, the groom's eyes followed her, his expression a mix of sadness, longing, and regret. It was as if the past had come crashing back, threatening to upend the future he was about to embark on.
The groom's tears began to flow, and he was forced to take a moment to collect himself.
The appearance of the ex-girlfriend had served as a poignant reminder that the past is never truly forgotten.
Why come there in the first place? If that’s the wife in red, then he is free to cry
Drama recently unfolded between in-laws when the bride's family from Mbaise demanded a whopping ₦1 million as bride price. This hefty demand sparked a heated debate, with some youths from the groom's side shouting "We Are Not Marrying Again!" in their native Igbo language.
The bride price demand was part of the traditional marriage rites, which typically involve the groom's family presenting gifts to the bride's family. However, the amount demanded by the bride's family was unusually high, leading to the disagreement.
It's worth noting that the issue of high bride prices in Mbaise has been a topic of discussion in the past. Some have argued that the practice discourages potential suitors from marrying women from the area.
However, others have defended the tradition, stating that the value of a woman cannot be measured by the bride price.
Is this type of attitude from the bride’s family that will make the man to turn the wife into a breadwinner after marriage in order to recover the money he was forcefully made to spend!

Rapmoney: A man who claimed his name is John Peter from Cross Rivers State, was caught in Enugwu Agidi, Anambra State, sleeping with a married woman who is pregnant. They were caught red handed and recorded. This is very shameful for a married woman who is pregnant to commit such an atrocity. The things that people do today is alarming.
GOFRONT: Akpabio never have sexual interest in Ireti and Ireti is a Senator..........Perhaps Ireti is not as sexy as Natasha...........If I were Akpabio, I would go for Ireti cos she is a Milf, a widow as well.
Akpabio should let a married woman be.........Now because of Akpabio's philandering lifestyle, he has succeeded in allowing Natashas husband to ban her from travelling abroad from now henceforth.....
4 years ago, Akpabio was given a resounding slap from Dr Nunueh for touching her inapproprately.........The woman that headed NDDC that year
Ireti is not a widow, her husband is alive and well
