Temi Otedola Reveals Story Behind Marriage To Mr Eazi And Decision To Take His Name

Temi Otedola has opened up about her marriage to Afrobeats star Mr Eazi, sharing intimate details about their relationship and the choices she has made as a wife. In a BBC interview, Temi described Mr Eazi as her “best friend” and “her person,” stressing that their bond is built on friendship, love, and mutual support. She said she could not imagine life with anyone else, adding that marriage for her is about building a future together, celebrating wins, and navigating challenges side by side. She also spoke about her decision to take her husband’s surname, explaining that it was a personal choice that felt natural and fulfilling. “It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing, but I also respect every woman’s right to choose,” she said. On why she and Mr Eazi kept their engagement and wedding private, Temi noted that moving quietly gave them control of their story. “There’s something about moving in silence that allows you to own your narrative and share on your own terms,” she explained. Reflecting on her privileged background as the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, Temi acknowledged the advantages it provided but stressed the importance of how opportunities are used. “You can give someone a leg up, but it’s what they do with it that matters,” she said. For Temi, her marriage represents not just love but also partnership, friendship, and the freedom to shape her own journey.

Bimbo Akintola Supports Polygamy As Answer To Modern Marital Challenges

Actress Bimbo Akintola has stirred conversation by advocating for polygamy, saying it remains part of Yoruba culture and could help solve societal challenges. In an interview with Biola Bayo, she argued that the shortage of men makes polygamy a practical option, noting that many families in the past had multiple wives. According to her, the practice is not entirely outdated and could still work in today’s world. She recounted the story of a woman who encouraged her husband to take a second wife because of differences in sexual drive. The arrangement, Akintola explained, gave the first wife peace of mind and stability in her marriage. “With the way the world is going, people should embrace polygamy. If statistics say men are not enough, then why not two women to one man? It has always been part of our tradition. We grew up seeing Yoruba men with two or three wives. While it may have disadvantages, there are also advantages,” she stated.

Olubadan Vows To Intervene In Sunday Igboho’s Dispute With Federal Government

The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has promised to intervene in the ongoing challenges faced by Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, in his dispute with the Federal Government. The assurance came during a closed-door meeting at the monarch’s Bodija residence in Ibadan, where both men discussed Igboho’s ordeals and possible solutions. According to a statement from Igboho’s media office, the meeting, which lasted about 40 minutes on Monday, also focused on the growing insecurity in the South West and reports of bandit attacks in parts of Kwara State. A source at the meeting revealed that Oba Ladoja pledged to wade into Igboho’s current troubles with the government, including his designation as a wanted person and the restrictions placed on his bank accounts. Under the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, Igboho was declared wanted and accused of stockpiling weapons. His Soka residence in Ibadan was raided by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Army on July 1, 2021, leading to the death of two of his aides and the arrest of 13 others. During the visit, Igboho congratulated Oba Ladoja on ascending the throne, describing him as a leader widely admired in Ibadan and across Yorubaland. He also expressed readiness to work with the Federal Government to improve security in the South West. “Olubadan has been a father figure to me since his days as governor of Oyo State. I commend Kabiyesi’s leadership qualities, humility, and enduring influence. His reign as Olubadan will no doubt further promote peace, unity, and development in Ibadanland and Yorubaland,” Igboho stated.

Dr. Olajide Adediran, widely known as Jandor, has formally declared his intention to run for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement and former PDP candidate made the announcement during Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, while also pledging his full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid. “As for Lagos State, I am offering myself once again to serve. I’m indeed running for the Lagos governorship race in 2027,” Jandor stated, dismissing speculations about other possible contenders, including Seyi Tinubu and former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. He described his political journey as intentional and calculated, recalling how his earlier foray into Lagos politics disrupted the political establishment. “When it was time for me to truly leave, I came all out, and we took Lagos by storm. Very soon, activities will begin to galvanize support from Mr. President and the party. Let me put this to rest: I am running in 2027,” he declared. Jandor praised President Tinubu’s style of leadership, describing it as visionary and courageous. He urged Lagosians and Nigerians in general to rally behind the President in 2027 for a second term. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven his capacity to lead this country with vision and courage.

Monaco 2-2 Man City: Dier’s Late Penalty Denies Haaland Hat-Trick Heroics

By Kamal Yalwa | October 1, 2025 | Champions League Manchester City were left frustrated in Monaco after Eric Dier’s controversial 90th-minute penalty earned the hosts a 2-2 draw in their Champions League league phase clash, denying City what looked like a deserved victory. City had dominated proceedings, hitting the woodwork twice and registering 18 shots, but failed to kill the game off after Erling Haaland struck twice in the first half from just seven touches. The Norwegian forward opened the scoring after 14 minutes with a clever lob over goalkeeper Philipp Köhn, only for Jordan Teze to rifle in a spectacular equaliser moments later. Haaland restored City’s lead before the break with a powerful header from Nico O’Reilly’s cross, taking his tally to 11 goals in this season’s competition. Phil Foden and Tijjani Reijnders both struck the bar, while Haaland spurned a glorious chance for his hat-trick. Their profligacy proved costly when VAR intervened late on: referee Jesús Gil Manzano was sent to review a high boot by substitute Nico Gonzalez on Dier at a set-piece. Despite City protests, the spot-kick was awarded and Dier coolly converted past Gianluigi Donnarumma. The result extends City’s winless away run in the Champions League to 12 months, dating back to their victory over Slovan Bratislava last October. Manager Pep Guardiola cut a frustrated figure post-match: “We didn’t defend the free-kick perfectly. We touched the ball first, it touched the opponent too, but it was given. Many things were against us tonight.” Haaland, despite his brace, was equally critical: “I don’t think we played good enough. We don’t deserve to win. We needed more energy. In the second half we allowed them to come back.” City now sit mid-table in the league phase standings, while Monaco celebrated a hard-earned point despite being second-best for much of the contest.
