Rosy Meurer Denies Unfollowing Husband Churchill, Refutes Feud With Ex-Wife Tonto Dikeh

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has dismissed circulating social media claims that she unfollowed her husband, Churchill, and denied reports of a feud with his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh. “I never unfollowed him and will never. When I go to his page, it still shows I am following,” Rosy said, attributing the rumors to either a technical glitch or “someone playing games somewhere,” and stressing that she has no reason to unfollow her husband. She expressed frustration that the story emerged on the birthday of her husband’s son, calling it an ill-timed narrative. Responding to claims linking her to Tonto Dikeh, Rosy stated she has never met or interacted with the ex, is not friends with her, and is about ten years younger. “All the news that I was her best friend and I snatched her hubby are all lies,” she said. Rosy also clarified her past relationship with Churchill, noting that he had helped her career and treated her like a sibling, not a romantic partner. She reassured fans of her love for all his children and her willingness to care for them if needed. “If God says it is time for him and his ex to reunite because of their son, who am I to say no?” she added. Closing her statement, Rosy challenged anyone claiming she “snatched” her husband to provide proof and reaffirmed her identity as Mrs Churchill.

Nasir El-Rufai Spends Second Night In EFCC Custody As Corruption Probe Continues

Wale busari02 mins

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has spent a second night in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja as investigators continue questioning him over alleged corruption during his tenure from 2015 to 2023. El-Rufai arrived at the EFCC headquarters around 10 a.m. on Monday to honour an invitation for questioning. A source at the commission told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday night that he would remain under investigation. “As I speak, the former governor is still with our interrogators and will be spending the night with them,” the source said, adding that the duration of his stay depends on the progress of the investigation and that the EFCC is handling the matter professionally. Another EFCC official revealed that the commission may seek a remand order after the 48-hour legal limit expires to allow investigators sufficient time to conclude their questioning. “Ignore claims on social media that he has been released. He has not. El-Rufai is still with us and will spend another night in custody,” the source added, noting that investigators are carefully examining issues arising from his eight years in office. The probe stems from a 2024 report by an ad hoc committee of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, which examined finances, loans, and contracts awarded between 2015 and 2023.

Fury: Joshua Auto Crash Provoked Comeback Fight

Wale busari02 mins

Tyson Fury said the deaths of two of long-time rival Anthony Joshua’s friends in a car crash in December prompted his return to boxing. Fury will step back into the ring on April 11 after a 15-month absence to face Russian-born heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov in a bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 37-year-old retired after his second successive loss to Oleksandr Usyk at the end of 2024 and went a calendar year without a fight before revealing his latest comeback on January 4. The announcement came a week after compatriot Joshua was involved in a car crash in Nigeria which killed his close friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele. “Tomorrow might not ever come and I suppose the biggest turning point in this comeback for me was the tragedy that happened with Anthony Joshua,” Fury said. “You should never put things off until tomorrow, or next year, or next week because tomorrow is not promised to nobody.” Any plans for Fury and Joshua to finally fight in 2026 have been put on the back burner. And Fury, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, claimed he has also returned to the ring to bring back some glamour to the sport. “The truth of the matter is I came back for one reason only and that’s to make boxing great again,” added Fury. “Since I’ve retired for the fifth time over a year ago, boxing for me has gone on a downward slope and it’s become quite boring.”

Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni Denies Racism Claims After Incident With Vinícius Junior

Wale busari03 mins

Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni has denied claims of racism following a tense altercation with Vinícius Junior during Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League play-off match against Real Madrid. The incident took place in the 51st minute at Estádio da Luz, shortly after Vinícius had given Madrid a 1-0 lead. The Brazilian told referee François Letexier that Prestianni had allegedly used a racial slur while covering his mouth with his shirt. FIFA’s anti-racism protocol was immediately activated, leading to an 11-minute stoppage as officials and team captains discussed the situation on the pitch. On Wednesday, Prestianni took to social media to clarify his side, insisting his words were misinterpreted. The Argentine stated he has never acted in a racist manner and expressed regret that Vinícius may have misunderstood him during the heated moment. He also claimed he faced threats from Real Madrid players in the tunnel after the match. “I want to make it clear that at no point did I direct racist insults to Vini Jr, who unfortunately misunderstood what he thought he heard. I have never been racist toward anyone and I regret the threats I received from Real Madrid players,” Prestianni said. The allegation drew attention from Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé, who said he heard the remarks and called for strict action if verified. Vinícius also addressed the matter online, condemning racism and calling out those responsible. Benfica coach José Mourinho defended Prestianni, suggesting the confrontation may have arisen from provocation or a language misunderstanding rather than racial abuse. UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is expected to open a formal investigation following referee Letexier’s match report. If Prestianni is found guilty, he could face a ban of at least 10 matches under UEFA rules.

Simi Faces Backlash On X Over Fierce Tweets On Rape And False Accusers

Wale busari04 mins

Singer Simi has sparked controversy on X after her outspoken comments about rape and false accusations ignited a fierce debate online. The backlash followed a TikToker’s claim of being raped by an unidentified man. Simi took to X to call for severe punishment for perpetrators, tweeting: “I’m sickkk of this. STOP RAPING WOMEN. They need to castrate rapists and burn them.” Some users challenged her stance, asking about false rape accusations. One asked, “Including the false accusérs too? Auntie Simi,” to which she bluntly replied, “Stfu.” Another user pressed further: “Dear Simi, what about false rape accusers?” She responded sharply: “What about them?? Why are you asking me about something I didn’t talk about? Why is your response to ‘stop raping women’ >> ‘what about false accusers?’ WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT I SAID????” Simi later expanded on her remarks, explaining the personal experiences behind her frustration. She said almost every woman she knows has faced sexual assault, stressing that trying to silence survivors because of rare false accusations is unacceptable. “If you lie, you should face consequences—but that’s not the conversation I’m having. Nor is it one I’m interested in having,” she wrote. She urged men to hold other men accountable and highlighted the daily fears women face: “Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We’re not all crazy. STOP RAPING WOMEN!!” She also condemned social tolerance for abuse among men, sharing the precautions she takes for her safety: “I take a fucking pepper spray when I walk outside alone or with my daughter. Do you think I’m scared of other women? If you’re not a rapist and people calling out rapists bother you, you need to sit and have a conversation with yourself. Because why are you triggered if you’re not guilty???” Simi’s candid statements have fueled discussions about sexual assault, the responsibility of men to call out wrongdoing, and the delicate balance between addressing real cases and concerns about false accusations.

Senate Slashes Election Notice Period To 300 Days to Grant INEC More Flexibility

Wale busari02 mins

Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber has approved fresh changes to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, trimming the statutory election notice period from 360 days to 300 days in a bid to give the Independent National Electoral Commission more flexibility in fixing poll dates. The adjustment effectively grants INEC an extra 60 days to review and realign its timetable, particularly to prevent any overlap between national elections and the Ramadan fasting season. Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele said the chamber reconvened mainly to fine-tune sections of the bill that would allow the electoral body reconsider its schedule without breaching legal timelines. Earlier, INEC had announced February 20 for presidential and National Assembly elections, while governorship and state assembly polls were slated for March 6. The timeline drew public concern over a possible clash with Ramadan. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, Simon Lalong, noted that the commission did not deliberately create the scheduling tension, explaining that the framework guiding the timetable had been put in place before the current leadership took charge. Lawmakers also revisited Clause 60 of the bill, which addresses the mode of transmitting election results. During debate, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe advocated mandatory real-time electronic transmission, insisting it would strengthen transparency and deepen public trust in the electoral system. After deliberations in a closed session, however, the Senate resolved to retain a safeguard allowing manual transmission where electronic networks fail. Senate President Godswill Akpabio said the provision would guarantee continuity of the electoral process in situations where technological systems encounter difficulties.

Rosy Meurer Unfollows Olakunle Churchill After He Celebrates Son’s 10th Birthday With Tonto Dikeh

Wale busari02 mins

Actress Rosy Meurer has stirred reactions online after reportedly unfollowing her husband, Olakunle Churchill, on Instagram just hours after he marked his son’s birthday alongside his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh. The move came shortly after Churchill joined Tonto to celebrate their son, King Andre, who turned 10. Photos from the birthday celebration showed both parents together, a moment that caught public attention given their highly publicized past and the long-standing tension that once defined their relationship. Observers quickly noticed that Rosy had unfollowed Churchill following the circulation of the birthday photos, fueling speculation across social media platforms. As of the time of this report, neither Rosy nor Churchill has addressed the development or clarified the reason behind the action. Churchill and Tonto tied the knot in 2015 before their marriage collapsed in 2017 after a dramatic and widely reported fallout. King Andre is the only child from their union. In recent weeks, the former couple appeared to have adopted a more peaceful approach, with public interactions suggesting they were prioritizing co-parenting and the wellbeing of their son. The 10th birthday celebration was widely viewed as another sign of their renewed commitment to raising their child together, despite years of public disagreements.
