Billionaire Daughter Sharon Adeleke Opens Up About Struggling With Success Despite Wealth
Billionaire daughter Sharon Adeleke has shared an honest reflection on her struggles with success, wealth, and self-doubt. In a recent post, she revealed that despite having access to opportunities, networks, and funding most people can only dream of, she often felt frustrated that success didn’t come as easily as she expected. She admitted to comparing herself to entrepreneurs who started with just a few thousand dollars and went on to build million-dollar companies, while she, with far greater resources, sometimes felt stuck. Sharon explained that a conversation with her therapist helped her gain clarity. Her therapist reminded her that “you don’t know what you don’t know,” pointing out that she lacked certain lessons, insights, and experiences that money alone couldn’t provide. The advice helped her see that growth and success take more than resources—they also require time, learning, and self-discovery. View this post on Instagram

Nollywood icon Funke Akindele has made history again as her latest film, Behind The Scenes, became the first Nollywood production to surpass ₦2 billion at the box office. FilmOne Entertainment, the movie’s distributor, confirmed on Monday via X that the film has now earned ₦2,103,039,706 in ticket sales, describing the milestone as “breaking and shattering records.” The achievement also makes Behind The Scenes the highest-grossing Nollywood film in Africa, as well as the top Nollywood release in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The distributor praised Akindele, noting that her success cements her status as West Africa’s highest-grossing writer, director, and producer. FilmOne further highlighted that she has now topped the African box office for three consecutive years, a feat described as unprecedented in the region’s film industry. Thanking audiences for their support, FilmOne said the film’s success is “more than a commercial win but a cultural movement,” driven by strong word-of-mouth and loyal moviegoers. Prior to this, Behind The Scenes had crossed the ₦1 billion mark and later reached ₦1.77 billion, already placing it among Nollywood’s most successful films. Its continued surge has now cemented its position at the top of the industry’s all-time rankings.

Ned Nwoko Releases October WhatsApp Message, Responds To Regina Daniels’ Allegations
Senator Ned Nwoko has continued to clarify his side of the ongoing marital dispute with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, following her recent drug test amid public scrutiny. In a statement released by his team, Nwoko highlighted a WhatsApp message he sent to Regina on October 17, 2025, which he says explains the challenges in their household. The message reads: “I won’t accept your friends coming here at odd hours again. First it was glam on Sunday night. I spoke with two of you to go to sleep at 1am or she should leave. She didn’t do either. It was an all night of noise and music and all that goes with it. By 3am another two friends joined you. They left the following afternoon. Again today, I asked you to go to bed at 3am. You refused. It was the noise of doors downstairs that woke me up. Lo and behold, you and Sonia were heading to your room at exactly 3.30am. You have shown so much disrespect in the past few days. I don’t know who is giving you drugs amongst them and this lifestyle is totally unacceptable and we can’t continue like this. It is either you continue with your therapy or you check into the rehab in Asokoro. My health is deteriorating because of your situation. I am worried about your life and what will happen with the kids. More importantly I won’t fund your lifestyle again until you are fully rehabilitated.” According to Nwoko’s team, the message highlights his concerns over late-night disturbances, alleged substance use, and unsafe behaviour in the household. They insist the message provides a factual account that predates public attention or court proceedings. Key points from the statement include: No domestic violence occurred; accusations arose only after the situation became public. No staff members witnessed abuse, and Regina’s mother reportedly admitted a video alleging violence was a prank. Documented concerns about substance use persisted over several months, with erratic behaviour and unsafe associations affecting the household. Independent toxicology reports confirmed substance use, supporting the concerns outlined in the October message. Professional help was offered repeatedly but resisted. The message reflects a final attempt to insist on therapy or rehabilitation. The well-being of the children and Nwoko’s concern for Regina’s health motivated financial boundaries, which were meant to prevent enabling destructive behaviour. Public claims of victimhood, the statement argues, were used to avoid accountability and evade treatment. The October message stands as a real-time record of concern and insistence on professional help, rather than abuse. The statement follows Regina’s public disclosure of a negative drug test, which she said cleared her name. Nwoko’s team maintained that the test only reflects temporary abstinence and does not negate prior independent assessments. As the dispute continues, both parties remain firm in their accounts, with Nwoko emphasising professional intervention and rehabilitation, while Regina disputes allegations of substance abuse and behavioural misconduct. The matter has drawn widespread attention from family, the public, and the media.

Ogun Police Probe Alleged Assault On Portable During Custody Incident
The Ogun State Police Command has launched an investigation after a video surfaced showing Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, allegedly being assaulted while in police custody. The video, which has gone viral on social media platforms including X, shows the Zazu crooner shirtless, handcuffed, and tearfully pleading while seated on a couch in what appears to be a police holding area. Reports indicate that he was allegedly beaten by officers at the detention facility, sparking public outrage and renewed scrutiny of police conduct and human rights practices. Police Public Relations Officer DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi confirmed that Portable remains in custody but condemned the alleged assault. “Yes, he was arrested, and he is with us, but that is a different issue. What is important is the assault that was happening at the station. We don’t condone it,” he said. DSP Babaseyi stressed that filming or publicly displaying suspects is prohibited, warning that such actions endanger both the safety of suspects and the integrity of investigations. “We don’t condone videoing suspects. We don’t even put suspects’ faces out. No matter who the suspect is, nobody should be treated in such a manner,” he added. He confirmed that an internal investigation has commenced and assured that any officer found culpable will face the law. “The investigation is ongoing, and the officers involved, if found culpable, will be sent to the appropriate authorities. That process has already started,” he said. Portable’s arrest stems from allegations of assault involving actress and skit maker Omobolarinde Akinyanju, also known as Ashabi Simple, one of his baby mamas. The incident reportedly occurred on January 1, 2026, at Portable’s bar in Ogun State, when Ashabi visited following an invitation from the singer. According to reports, a dispute broke out over Ashabi’s status in Portable’s life. She insisted on being recognized as a wife, while Portable maintained that only his legally married wife, Bewaji, holds that title. The argument allegedly escalated into physical violence, with Ashabi claiming that Portable slapped and beat her, seized phones, and threatened her and her siblings with an axe. Portable later addressed the allegations in a lengthy Instagram video, expressing anger over the lawsuit filed by Ashabi and accusing her of infidelity. The Ogun State Police have promised a thorough investigation into both the assault allegations and the conduct of the officers involved in Portable’s custody.
