Sonia Ogiri claimed that Bobrisky, who presents himself as a crossdresser on social media, is privately married and expecting a child, deceiving his followers about his true lifestyle.
Recall that a few weeks ago, Sonia and Bobrisky fought dirty online over claims that the crossdresser was responsible for the trends of males parading themselves as female.
The health condition of Jay Boogie had caused the fight between the duo as Sonia vowed never to donate money to him, blaming Bobrisky for deceiving young boys, but the latter warned the movie star to avoid making issues with him.
In a post on her Instagram page on Tuesday, she claimed that the crossdresser inspired other young men down a dark path, but is secretly married to a woman with a family.
She wrote: “Days after, paid privately to follow up. Oga has married secretly oh, and his wife even get belle, oga is a man at night and a woman during the day. Oga secretly visits at night and is on the internet deceiving young boys that should focus on more productive things. I know a low now.

Responding to the claims, Bobrisky criticised her for bringing his name into her statements and expressed dissatisfaction with the points she raised.
In his words: “Soniaogiri do you know you can make ur valid point without mentioning my name? But if person wan chop knock for head the head must surely scratch am. Your write-up ain’t brilliant at all. You need to do better next time. Love and kindness have no boundaries. I will say dis over and over again.

Tokotaya: microsecondnews Reporter December 12, 2023 0 1 minute read Nigerian lady calls the police on her mum in the US, rough-handles her to get out of the house
Photo Caption Ifeanyi, calls the police on her mum and pulls her hair
A depressing video has shown the moment a Nigerian lady, Ifeanyi Paula, called the police on her mother after they had an argument over spiritual beliefs in their home in America.
Ifeanyi had a few days ago shared a video of herself and her mother arguing over her spiritual beliefs. The mother, a strict Christian, criticised the lifestyle chosen by her daughter and the dresses she wore.
Her mother had asked her for a photo to place at her altar for prayers. Ifeanyi declined flatly and told her mother she did not want her to take her picture or even pray for her.
Ifeanyi told her mother that she was spiritual and not religious.
Apparently, the gulf between the two widened and Ifeanyi had been packing her stuff all day waiting for her mother to go to work so she could leave before she arrived.
It would appear that the mother was aware of this plot and decided not to go to work. Ifeanyi decided to leave nonetheless, but the mother blocked the door.
She can be heard saying that she would not allow Ifeanyi to go because she definitely needs help.
Ifeanyi then decides to call the cops, but before they arrive, she makes another attempt to get out during which time she pulls her mother’s hair as they both struggle. She claimed the mother laid hands on her first.
She succeeded in getting out of the house and waited outside for the cops to arrive to help her get the rest of her stuff.
The police arrived and she told them her mother was abusive and that she, (Ifeanyi) was 25 years old and free to leave her family's house.
The police asked her to go with the stuff she had packed and return in the morning to pack the rest of her stuff. They promised to give her an officer to accompany her if she felt that her mother would give her trouble.
Interestingly, there are many US-based young Nigerians in the comments section who expressed being in the same situation as Ifeanyi and urged her to leave without looking back.
Some said they had similarly packed out when the conduct of their parents became unbearable.
One said she had not spoken to her father in years. Another said she had not spoken to her own mother in years too.

sukkot: So guys we need to understand that women are drawn to protectors and alpha and strong men. It is how they are wired.
Something happens to a Nigerian man when he gets abroad and the women notice it. The man gets emasculated by society.
He goes from being a strong figure of authority in Africa to an unwanted disrespected black man in the west.
Even a 17 year old white boy on the job can almost slap that 40 year old naija man on the job and he will be shaking and calling the 17 year old boy, Sir.
The man is emasculated by society. Goes from being an alpha dog in naija to a puppy in the west.
Our women sense these things and to a woman if you are not an alpha dog you are just useless.
You start emptying the trash and making breakfast and washing dishes now as the man. Jobs that you used to hire maids to do for you in naija.
Not only can a 17 year old white boy disrespect you on the job but you are now a dishwasher at home. You have no value in society.
Anywhere you turn up you are not celebrated but tolerated.
After a while the woman starts to see that this guy is truly worthless to me, why do I need to coexist with this emasculated societal reject ?
I am better off by myself and I can get a better job than him here as a nurse.
He has become a burden to me.
This is why most women chase their husbands away from home after they both relocate abroad

A veteran of the United States of American army, Mr. Bonaventure Ezekwenna has escaped assassination plot in Anambra state.
Mr. Ezekwenna, an indigene of Nnobi community in Idemili-South local government area of Anambra state became a target when he arrived the state to testify at the Nnobi Chief Magistrate Court in Idemili-South local government area of Anambra state.
After his first appearance at the Chief Magistrate Court presided by His Worship Ken Nwoye, Ezekwenna told LEADERSHIP that he started getting threat messages in his telephone WhatsApp platform from unidentified persons.
He stated that in one of the messages the sender told him that he and his colleagues were paid the sum of N500,000 to assassinate him, but, that if he could pay them N250,000 they would reveal to him their sponsors.
Ezekwenna said that he was also later to receive a suspicious invitation letter from the Zone 13, Ukpo, headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force sent to him on his telephone WhatsApp platform requesting him to come to the police zonal headquarters.
He said that the police invitation which was unsigned by any police officer was even addressed to one "Bonaventure Ogbonna" while his own name is "Bonaventure Ezekwenna".
He also noted that while the telephone number provided in the invitation for him to call whenever he arrived the police zonal command was 08038892603, the telephone through which it was sent to his phone WhatsApp platform was different.
Ezekwenna stated that he became more suspicious after he dialed the telephone number through which the police invitation was sent to his telephone WhatsApp platform when the receiver gave his name as "Ikemba Uwakwe" while his (Ezekwenna) telephone Truecaller identified him as "Martins".
Ezekwenna also narrated that when he tried to make further inquiries concerning the invitation, Ikemba Uwakwe retorted "I am just a messanger o, I am not a member of the team o".
Ezekwenna therefore said "It became very clear to me that these boys who are trying to assassinate me might have engaged some unscrupulous police officers at the Zone 13, Ukpo to lure me out, so that while I am on my way to the zone, they will lay ambush on me somewhere, abduct and whisk me away to somewhere and slaughter me there, and, if you go to the Zone 13 after, and say that you are looking for Mr. Bonaventure Ezekwenna they will tell you that they don't have any such person with them; that they didn't invite anyone bearing the name "Bonaventure Ezekwenna".
Ezekwenna stated that he later wrote a report to the Commissioner of police in Anambra state concerning the threat messages and the suspicious invitation he received from the police zone 13, Ukpo, adding that when he was later invited by the Deputy Commissioner of police in charge of the state Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Mr. Akin Fakorede, the later after putting a call through the telephone number contained in the invitation letter forwarded to him advised him to go and honour the invitation.
The USA Army veteran, however, said that when he discovered that the author of the petition upon which the Zonal command invited him was the same Chief Chijioke Okaa (alias Ikonso) who earlier wrote a petition against him to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, upon which he(Okaa) was charged to the Court by the Police high command for giving it false information, and, that the allegations he made against him again same allegation at the Zone 13, Ukpo, was the allegations upon which the Force Headquarters, Abuja, charged him to Court, he decided to write another report to the Force Headquarters complaining about the allegations Chief Okaa has again levelled against him at the zone 13, Ukpo.
Meanwhile, investigation by LEADERSHIP has revealed that a team of plane-clothe operatives from the zone 13, Ukpo, accompanied by "a pointer" had thrice sneaked into the premises of the Nnobi Chief Magistrate Court, unknown to Ezekwenna with intention to arrest and whisk him away, but, retreated on each time because he (Ezekwenna) was always accompanied by a team of operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, who were providing him protection.
Ezekwenna, however, expressed further fears about the police zonal command operatives arguiying"If those officers at Zone 13, Ukpo are not working in cohort with Chief Chijioke Okaa to abduct me, take me away to somewhere and kill me, why couldn't they come, and, give me the invitation.
"If they are carrying out genuine official work, should they be afraid of the DSS people who are accompanying me?", Ezekwenna asked.
When contacted, the public relations officer of zone 13, Ukpo, police zonal command, Superintendent of police, SP Josephine Ihunwo to react to the fears that some officers at the command might be aiding hoodlums to get at their targeted enemies, citing Mr. Ezekwenna's case, she simply said "the case file has been taken over by the Force Headquarters last week ".
