Portable Clashes With Carter Efe At Odogwu Bar Amid Allegations Of Artiste Theft
Controversial singer Portable was recently involved in a tense confrontation with online streamer Carter Efe and an associate known as Kolu at his Odogwu Bar. The drama began when Carter Efe and his team arrived at the bar, but Portable stopped them from entering, insisting they had not informed him before coming. The situation quickly became heated as the singer accused Carter Efe of taking one of his artistes. During the argument, Portable repeatedly demanded that the streamer “press money” for him. Tension rose further after Carter Efe arrived at the venue accompanied by soldiers for protection, a move that appeared to provoke Portable even more. The confrontation soon turned chaotic as Portable attempted to lunge at Carter Efe and members of his entourage before police officers stepped in to prevent the situation from getting out of control. Portable also alleged during the commotion that the soldiers accompanying Carter Efe were firing shots within his environment. pic.twitter.com/Q9HQartxWU — Winner 🥇 (@expendableboss) March 5, 2026
Pastor Chris Okafor Withdraws Apology To Doris Ogala Amid Ongoing N1bn Lawsuit
Fresh controversy has erupted between clergyman Chris Okafor and Nollywood actress Doris Ogala after the pastor publicly renounced the apology he once made to her during a church service. The cleric had earlier sparked reactions in December 2025 when he knelt during a sermon and apologized to the actress amid the dispute surrounding their relationship. However, speaking to his congregation recently, Okafor clarified that he does not accept responsibility for the accusations levelled against him. He explained that the apology delivered at the time was not because he was guilty but was done to honour spiritual leaders who supported him throughout the controversy. “I withdraw that, there was no single apology because I cannot apologize for what I don’t know”. The disagreement between both parties began after Ogala accused the pastor of failing to fulfil a promise to marry her. She also alleged that he shared explicit materials and caused her emotional pain. Following the claims, the actress filed a lawsuit against the cleric, demanding N1 billion in compensation for an alleged breach of promise to marry. In the court filing, Ogala maintained that Okafor had assured her he would marry her, introducing her to members of his family and including her in family gatherings before eventually tying the knot with another woman, Pearl Okafor. She also accused the pastor of circulating her private photographs without permission and claimed he used 45 million naira she entrusted to him without her approval.
Juliana Olayode Condemns Viral “Holy Spirit Carry Me” Trend, Urges Christians To Show Reverence
Juliana Olayode has openly expressed her displeasure over the trending “Holy Spirit, carry me” cruise making waves across social media. The Nollywood star took to Instagram to address what she considers a worrying shift from reverence to ridicule, calling out fellow celebrities and online users who have turned the prayerful phrase into humorous captions. While she acknowledged that calling on the Holy Spirit remains a powerful declaration of faith and a spiritually uplifting expression, she said she finds it uncomfortable seeing it twisted into jokes, particularly those referencing body size and physical features. According to her, sacred expressions should not be reduced to punchlines for engagement or online trends. She wrote: “It’s absolutely okay for us to ask the Holy Spirit to carry us; that’s a powerful prayer and a beautiful song. What I don’t quite understand are some of the captions that are turning it into a cruise. Seeing captions like Holyspirit no carry me because of my big nyash, because I get weight, because he no like small things, makes me cringe. Do we know who we’re talking about here? The Holyspirit?! Please, let’s be careful. Let’s not reduce something sacred to a joke. Please, let’s honour and revere the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not for trends or a punchline for attention. Let’s honour Him. I know we like to joke and catch cruise online, and sometimes it’s really just vibes. But I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable, we Christians take too many things with levity, people of other religions wouldn’t dare mention the name of their prophet or god without honour. We throw the name of JESUS around with no regard for the Holy Spirit? No, please, it’s a NO!!!!! NO!!!!!! Everything can’t always be fun and games, not when it concerns Someone so precious, not when it concerns THE HOLYSPIRIT. For me personally, we can make jokes, do fun things, and be joyful without being careless. Just sharing my heart” Her statement has generated mixed reactions online. While many agreed that matters of faith deserve deep respect, others argued that humor and spirituality can exist side by side without diminishing belief. One thing is clear: Juliana Olayode is standing firm in her conviction that sacred things should never be sacrificed for social media trends.

Carter Efe’s Baby Mama Elma Fires Back at King Mitchy, Sets Record Straight on $100 Controversy
Carter Efe’s baby mama, Elma, has fired back at social media influencer King Mitchy after being dragged into the ongoing online controversy involving VeryDarkMan and Seyi Tinubu. The drama began when Elma commented under a post about King Mitchy, saying, “Omo she’s on something dw,” a remark that sparked reactions among followers. King Mitchy noticed the comment, took a screenshot, and shared it with the caption: “See someone I gave 100 Dollar when she came to my office to tell me bout what’s happening in her lyf. Chai.” Elma responded with a detailed account of what actually happened, rejecting King Mitchy’s version. She wrote: “You need help fr! Thank God I blocked you a month ago for a different reason. This girl called me to invite me for her shop opening, then she said she wanted to see me, that she could come to my house. I said no, I was at Charis School. She insisted I send my account, I saw a credit alert of 200k, then I knew immediately it was business. I suggested coming to her instead since her shop is close by. When I got there, she told me the real reason she invited me was to know about my relationship. I was like, wtf, why? Which day did this start? Then she laughed, ‘Am I good?’ trying to get me to say something, and I told her I’m fine. I was so pissed because I couldn’t believe she invited me over to discuss my private life. King, we’re not even friends to start with. She then said she had a proposal for me — she wanted me to model for the day, dress like a waitress. I was like, ‘Ohh, I’ll think about it.’ She begged, saying don’t worry, she’ll pay well. Money aside, there are places you can’t find me! On my way leaving, she gave me 100 dollars to give to Charis. I was like, aww, thank you. Did I attend your opening? No! So I don’t understand the rubbish she posted on her story.” Elma’s response makes it clear she felt misrepresented and unfairly dragged into the feud, emphasizing that the visit was never about the personal matters King Mitchy suggested. This latest exchange adds another twist to the ongoing social media drama surrounding King Mitchy, which has continued to dominate conversations online.
You’re Disrespectful – Yul Edochie Calls Out Rufai Oseni, Questions His Moral Authority On National TV
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has launched a scathing attack on Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni, accusing him of arrogance and unprofessional conduct in his approach to journalism. In a video circulating online, Edochie revisited a past controversy involving Oseni, where the broadcaster was reportedly caught driving on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane in Lagos. The actor questioned Oseni’s credibility, arguing that someone who allegedly flouted traffic laws should not position himself as morally superior on national television. “Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving against traffic? I think he drove on BRT lane… somewhere in Lagos. Rufai Oseni same guy. He drove on BRT lane which is wrong and when officials caught him instead of apologizing and admitting that he was wrong, what was he saying? He was shouting, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m going to call the governor of Lagos State.’” Edochie claimed that the journalist only apologised after a video of the incident surfaced online. “You could not even apologize. If not because somebody had a video… that was the only time when you saw the video that was when you came on national TV to apologize. If there was no video what would have happened?” The actor went on to fault Oseni’s interviewing style, accusing him of embarrassing and disrespecting guests on live television. “The first thing they should have taught you is to respect your guests. If you have a guest and you’re talking in a particular manner and the guest does not like it, first thing you do is to apologize to that guest, make the guest feel comfortable, then you continue with your question. How can you tell a guest that if the guest is not comfortable the guest is free to walk out of the studio and you call yourself a journalist? What nonsense?” He repeatedly described the presenter as disrespectful and lacking the moral authority to speak down on others. “You’re not better than anybody out there… You have no moral justification to talk to anybody on national TV that way because you’re not better than any Nigerian.” Edochie also used the opportunity to defend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insisting that the Nigerian leader deserves respect and time to address the country’s challenges. “Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria… He is our president whether you like it or not. You must respect him. The man just came in, he’s been there for just months, give him time. Rome was not built in a day.” Concluding his remarks, the actor maintained that Oseni’s conduct does not reflect true journalism and urged him to learn to show respect, both to interview guests and to national leaders. The video has since generated widespread reactions across social media platforms.

NFVCB Promises To Prosecute Producers Of Viral Same-Sex Movie The Best Guy
The Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board has pledged to track and prosecute the producers of the same-sex themed film The Best Guy, which has recently gone viral online. The movie has reignited debate over the legality of LGBTQ-themed content in Nigeria. The Board has previously taken action against similar productions, including the 2020 lesbian-themed movie Ije. Executive Director Shaib Husseini told PREMIUM TIMES that although he has not yet seen the film, he has directed his operations team to investigate. A formal report will be sent to YouTube, where the film is currently streaming. “The Board will obtain information about the producers and forward it to the appropriate law enforcement agency to take necessary action,” Husseini said. “No one is permitted to distribute same-sex movies in Nigeria, and this film was not submitted to us for classification. Filmmakers are reminded that all films must be registered and classified by the Censors Board before distribution.” Husseini added that, had the film been submitted, it would have received an R rating, restricting its audience, in accordance with Nigerian law that prohibits promoting same-sex relationships. He referenced a previous case where producers were handed over to the police but settled after agreeing not to distribute similar content again. Produced by Omeleme Studios and directed by Akpos Otubuere, The Best Guy stars Melvin Oduah, Edson Obi, Daniel Uzor, Ayanime Edem, Grace Abah, and Chukwudi Udoye Eternal. The film tells the story of Reverend Peter (Oduah), who is about to marry, and his secret partner Leslie (Obi), who fears losing him. Leslie ends the relationship, but after a heated confrontation, Peter proposes to Leslie, his assistant.
