Paddy Adenuga, son of Globacom chairman Mike Adenuga, has announced his engagement to his partner. The 41-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, posting a photo of their hands adorned with rings. Alongside the image, he wrote, “My faith in God never waivered… and in return He blessed me with YOU. My forever love ❤️♾️.” His sister, Globacom’s executive vice chairman Bella Disu, reacted to the post with a like. Paddy has not revealed the identity of his fiancée, nor has he shared any details about the wedding date or venue. This announcement follows years after Paddy had disclosed on X (formerly Twitter) in January 2018 that he had been engaged twice before, in 2010 and 2012, but did not go through with marriage. At the time, he wrote, “I had been engaged twice (2010, 2012) but didn’t get married on either occasion… painful both times but a lot of lessons learned. I can’t force God’s time and God’s will… in the meantime I am just taking it one day at a time.”
Ruger Raises Alarm Over Growing Kidnapping Threat Ahead Of Festive Season
Nigerian singer Ruger has raised concerns over the escalating cases of kidnapping in the country, warning that the situation could worsen during the upcoming December festive season. On X (formerly Twitter), the singer wrote: “I’m scared for people this December. Kidnapping has become a full-time business in some parts of Nigeria and it’s only gonna get worse this festive season. People will travel back to their villages from abroad and from many other places in Nigeria. These bastards will strike hard.” Ruger emphasized the vulnerability of Nigerians returning home for the holidays, describing the rise of kidnappings as an organized and growing threat in certain regions. His warning comes in the wake of several high-profile abduction incidents. In August 2025, gunmen kidnapped at least 45 women and children during overnight raids across five villages in northwest Nigeria. Earlier, in March 2024, over 200 students were abducted from a school assembly in Kuriga, Kaduna State. The singer’s message serves as a caution to citizens to remain vigilant while urging authorities to take immediate action to protect people during the festive season.

Ondo Police Remove DPO Over Mishandling Of Mandykiss Cyberbullying Case
The Ondo State Police Command has redeployed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Enu-Owa Division in Ondo West Local Government Area over what it described as unprofessional conduct in the handling of a case involving social media influencer Mandykiss. Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Lawal, announced the decision on Tuesday after a viral video showed Mandykiss recording and taking pictures of two female suspects inside a police station — a scene that sparked widespread public criticism. The controversy began on Saturday when Mandykiss confronted a woman and her daughter, identified as Mrs. Akinwole Sabitu and Miss Akinwole Oyindamola, over allegations of repeated cyberbullying. The confrontation, which initially started online, escalated into a police matter after the influencer and her followers reportedly tracked down the suspects. Lawal explained that preliminary findings revealed no police officers were present during the alleged arrest of the two women. Instead, the suspects were brought to the Enu-Owa Division by Mandykiss and some of her supporters. The influencer was later seen filming herself with the suspects inside her vehicle and within the police premises before posting the footage online. The commissioner condemned the development, describing it as a breach of professional ethics and a violation of the suspects’ right to presumption of innocence. “This incident reflects a lack of proper supervision and professionalism at the divisional level. The command will not tolerate any action capable of undermining public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force,” Lawal stated. He stressed that photographing or filming suspects in custody contravenes ethical standards and human rights principles. According to him, the redeployment of the DPO became necessary to restore discipline and integrity within the command. Lawal further reminded officers of their duty to protect the rights of all parties involved in police matters, urging them to uphold professionalism, fairness, and respect for the rule of law at all times.

Marriage Is Deeper Than Physical Intimacy: Blaqbonez Sparks Debate With Views on Open Marriage and Modern Love
Nigerian rapper and songwriter Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has once again set social media abuzz — this time with his unconventional take on marriage, intimacy, and relationships. Speaking on the “In My Opinion” podcast, the Chocolate City artist argued that open marriages could offer a practical and emotionally balanced approach for some couples navigating today’s demanding lifestyles. According to Eyes of Lagos, Blaqbonez emphasized that marriage should go beyond physical exclusivity, noting that emotional connection and mutual understanding matter more than rigid fidelity. “Marriage is more than physical intimacy,” he said. “If my partner needs closeness while I’m unavailable, I don’t see harm in her seeking it elsewhere — as long as our emotional connection remains solid.” Openness Over Possession The rapper, known for his candid and often controversial views, maintained that honesty and consent should define modern relationships. He described traditional monogamy as unrealistic for everyone, particularly for couples separated by work or travel. “Physical intimacy doesn’t define loyalty,” he added. “A partner can have a momentary experience but still stay emotionally devoted to you. What matters is connection, trust, and mutual respect.” While many fans applauded his progressive perspective, others condemned it as incompatible with Nigeria’s cultural and religious values. Separate Rooms, Shared Values Blaqbonez also shared another unorthodox relationship idea — keeping separate rooms from his future wife. He explained that personal space helps sustain attraction and individuality in long-term partnerships. “Having separate rooms doesn’t mean separation,” he clarified. “It means preserving personal space so that intimacy becomes intentional, not routine.” He believes that constant proximity can dull passion, while healthy boundaries encourage appreciation and emotional renewal. Challenging Traditional Norms Blaqbonez’s comments highlight a growing cultural shift among young Nigerians exploring new definitions of love and partnership. While monogamy remains dominant, conversations around emotional transparency, independence, and self-awareness are gaining traction. “People evolve, careers evolve, and so should our understanding of relationships,” he said. “We shouldn’t be afraid to define love in ways that work for us.” Emotional Connection as the Core of Marriage Concluding, Blaqbonez asserted that emotional and spiritual intimacy form the true foundation of lasting unions. “A fling can’t replace what you build with your partner,” he said. “True marriage is about mental, emotional, and spiritual connection — not just sex.” His remarks continue to spark intense debate online, with many viewing them as part of a broader rethinking of marriage, fidelity, and partnership in modern African society.
Tonto Dikeh Opens Up About How Holy Spirit Saved Her From Depression and Suicide
Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her transformative journey with the Holy Spirit, revealing how divine intervention pulled her back from the edge of despair, anger, and even suicide. In a heartfelt post titled “7 Things the Holy Spirit Healed Me From,” the actress recounted the darkest periods of her life, including two suicide attempts, and how God’s guidance gave her a second chance at life. From Suicide to Survival Tonto shared that depression once dominated her life, leading her to attempt suicide twice. “Depression was my closest companion, and I attempted suicide twice. But God said, ‘Child, get up.’ And I did. Weak, trembling, but alive,” she recalled. She explained that surviving this ordeal taught her empathy: “Now when I see people acting from a place of pain, I don’t judge them. I intercede for them because I know what it feels like to lose yourself trying to survive.” Healing from Anger The actress also described a time when her anger controlled her life, destroying relationships and opportunities. “My anger was not power; it was pain disguised as control,” she said. Through her walk with the Holy Spirit, Tonto learned that peace and silence often hold more authority than rage. Restoration and Deliverance Tonto emphasized how returning to Christ after years of struggle became the most fulfilling chapter of her life. She shared that God delivered her from sexual immorality and restored her completely. “Celibacy has been one of the most powerful experiences of my life. It is not suppression; it is strength. Now I hear God more clearly,” she stated. Grace and Unmerited Favor She reflected on how faith has blessed her life: “Doors open before I knock. Protocols are lifted for my sake. It is not luck. It is grace in motion,” she explained. Sacred Peace Finally, Tonto spoke about protecting her peace fiercely: “If it does not feed my spirit, it does not deserve my energy. Nobody is allowed to stress me — not even me.” Through her testimony, Tonto Dikeh showcased how faith and the Holy Spirit rescued her from the brink of despair, helping her heal, transform her life, and embrace enduring peace and purpose.
