Actress Ariyiike Dimples Reveals Why She Stopped Going To Church

Nigerian actress and media personality, Ariyike Owolagba, popularly known as Ariyiike Dimples, has revealed why she stopped going to church.. 

“In my community church, you see only elderly people. You barely see the young ones. The young ones have gone to other churches. It was too serious. Yes, you can have your doctrines, but there is a way you can simplify it for young people and take them in without judging them.

“The reason I stopped going to church was because I wore a pencil skirt to church and an elderly woman said I will go to hell fire. I was shocked and felt wrongly judged so I stopped going to church for 3 years. And thankfully, I was already out of my parents’ house.

“The woman reported me to my dad. I had to take picture of the skirt and send to my mum to prove that I wasn’t dressing indecently. But my dad believed in the ideology of a community raising a child. So, I chose to avoid the community church so that they won’t see me,” she recalled.

Nigerian Music Industry Sidelines Veterans – Dj Neptune Claims

Renowned disc jockey and producer Imohiosen Patrick, known professionally as DJ Neptune, has claimed that the Nigerian music industry sidelines veterans.. 

“In Nigeria, once you reach a certain level they push you aside like, ‘Oya go to that corner, we’re done with you.’ It’s a structural problem. Abroad, the OGs are still as relevant as the newbies. We need to address the structural issues."

He said one or two on how he has continued to stay relevant over the years too. 

"Although I don’t plan to do this all my life -when it’s time to take a bow, I will. But what I have just done over the years is that I know when it’s time to re-invent. That’s life. Things are changing so you need to move with the time.”

Media Personality Toke Makinwa Claims Bathing Babies Daily Could Damage Their Skin

Media personality Toke Makinwa has advised mothers with newborns against bathing their babies daily.

According to her, bathing babies every day could potentially damage their skin.

Speaking in a video broadcast on her social media page, the actress, who recently welcomed her first child at 40, argued that babies are naturally clean, stressing that the womb they came from is not dirty.

She revealed that she doesn’t bathe her child every day and advised her fellow nursing mothers to wipe their babies instead of bathing them daily.

“I really think bathing babies actually causes problems. Babies are not dirty. They have been inside the womb for nine months. Inside the womb is not dirty.

"I don’t bathe my baby every day because it is not necessary. Babies are not on the floor; they are not dirty or sweaty. So, why are you excessively putting water on their skin? Their skin is fragile. You can wipe them instead of bathing them every day. This helped me, so I’m just putting it out there,” she expressed.

Toke Makinwa’s advice to nursing mothers has received a mixed reception online, with many questioning her experience in motherhood and her qualifications in nursing.

Singer Tiwa Savage And Her Colleague Yemi Alade Finally Reconcile After 7-Year Feud

Nigerian music stars Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage have finally reconciled after seven years of feud.

Their rift started on social media, when Yemi Alade cryptically criticised female entertainers for enhancing their buttocks in photos to “deceive their fans.”

Yemi Alade’s post came a few hours after Tiwa Savage shared photos highlighting her curves.

In response, Tiwa warned Yemi Alade not to start a war that she couldn’t finish: “Don’t start a war you can’t finish.”

However, their reconciliation took place in Lagos on Thursday at ‘The Price of Being Her’ panel organized by Entertainment Week Africa.

Addressing Tiwa at the event, Alade, in a viral video online, said, “I honestly want you to know that those moments you get rugged and do what you truly want to do, you are standing up for many females. Just continue being you. You are literally walking in strength.”

Tiwa, who was moved by the tribute, became emotional and was captured in another video after the event singing and sharing a warm hug with Alade.

Rapper M.I Abaga Explains Why Some Celebrities Go Broke

Ace Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I, has shared how he handles people’s expectations from him as a celebrity.. 

“When I understood that people in Nigeria tend to broke shame celebrities, I had to make a decision if I want to let that have power over me. Because if you don’t deal with that, it will have exceeding power over you.

“If you are not comfortable with the fact that some fans can broke shame you if they see you driving a car they consider below your level, then you are going to continue adjusting to their expectations. And that is how you go broke. You go broke trying to adjust to people’s expectations.

“One of the things that Nigerians are concerned about is their perceptions. And statistically, we are a country where most people don’t have money. It took me time to mentally prepare myself to accept being broke shamed. All our celebrities who were flying private jets 20 years ago are no longer affluent,” he expressed.

Singer Omah Lay Says God And Prayer Won't Save Nigeria

Afrobeats singer, Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has said prayers alone won’t save Nigeria.

He insisted that until citizens began taking proactive actions, the country won’t change for the better.

“No Jesus, no Allah, no prayer is saving us. Nothing changes until we wake TF up ,” he wrote on his X handle on Thursday.

Singer Yemi Alade Opens Up About Being S#xually Harassed By Music Executives As A Teenager

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has opened up about the challenges she faced during her early years as a young, struggling female artiste.. 

She said: “In those beginning days, all I thought I needed was just my talent because that’s what I have. I didn’t have a bank account full of money I could use to sponsor myself.

“I just had a talent and a zeal, and a promise that I made to myself and a promise I believed God made to me. So, I always tried to show up. I was told that I needed to work harder and so I worked harder, and it wasn’t enough. There were doors I needed to walk up to and when I walked up to the doors, they didn’t want my talent, they wanted something else.

“Many times from business meetings to studio sessions to even winning certain awards and you meet maybe the managing director or any other executive and they are trying to rub your thighs under the table. And I was just a teen. My grand pa is rubbing my legs and I can’t speak because I’m in shock.

“We are having an actual business meeting. Why are you rubbing my thighs? I had to speak to myself and decided if music was what I wanted to do because the s#xual harassment was becoming too rampant. But something in me told me to keep pushing my talent. So, I still showed up. If door was left open for me, I would walk in. If it was shut in my face, I would walk away.”
