Nkechi Blessing Sunday Threatens To Break Phones Over Secret Recordings Of Her Relationship

Nkechi Blessing Sunday has openly addressed fans and social media users, urging them to stop secretly filming her and her partner whenever they spot them in public. The actress explained that although she is comfortable with the fame that comes with her career, she prefers to keep her current relationship private. According to her, both she and her partner are happy staying away from online attention and unnecessary publicity. Recounting a recent incident, she said she was out at a restaurant with her partner when a woman allegedly began recording them without their knowledge. A waitress reportedly alerted her to what was happening, prompting her to approach the lady directly. “Public service announcement. And I really do not want to come off as being rude, arrogant, or proud. I am sure a lot of you remember me saying I am in a very happy relationship now, but I seriously do not want it anywhere on the internet, Instagram, social media in general, because we are enjoying our relationship off the media. And then tell me why last week I was in a restaurant with my man and then There was this lady recording us secretly. One of the waitress called my attention to it. And then I walked up to her And then I said politely, ma’am, I find it very disrespectful of you making videos of I and my man without our consent. It doesn’t make sense. Yes, I am a public figure. I am in your faces. If you wanted a picture or a video, walk up to me. I don’t bite. But you trying to take an unsolicited picture and videos of me and my man, I wouldn’t take that.” She stressed that while she understands public interest in her life, taking photos or videos without permission crosses the line. The movie star noted that her partner is not ashamed to be seen with her but simply does not want to be thrust into the spotlight or dragged into online conversations. “This is somebody that I don’t want him to be on the Internet. He’s not ashamed to go out with me. So why do you think it is you that is supposed to put our pictures and our videos out there? Now, I am saying this categorically. The next time you see I and my man outside, please keep your phones. Because guess what? I will break it. Can you see how soft I said that? Because I know my man will fight. This man does not want to be out there. Yes. be known does that make sense like he doesn’t want to just be in the news for the wrong reasons and if eventually i want to bring him to the internet i would do so at my own time.” She maintained that if she ever decides to unveil her partner publicly, it will happen on her own terms and not through unsolicited recordings shared online.

Pete Edochie Calls Men Who Kneel To Propose ‘Buffoons,’ Defends African Cultural Values

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has sparked controversy after criticising men who kneel to propose marriage, describing the gesture as foolish and contrary to African cultural values. In a video that has resurfaced online, Edochie said: “Any young man who goes down on his knees to propose to a woman is not just an idiot; he’s a bloody fool, a compound buffoon. The reason why I’m saying this is simple… we try to copy white people, right? The white man kneels to propose, and you know what it means? The girl takes over the family.” He added: “A young man like you, who should be in charge of your destiny, you want everything about the woman. That makes you a fool. I have lived with my wife for 51 years. Nobody has come to say, ‘Please stop beating this woman.’ Is that hatred?” Edochie stressed that African traditions do not require men to kneel when proposing, and he believes mimicking Western practices can undermine men’s authority in relationships. His comments have provoked mixed reactions online, with some praising him for defending cultural values, while others criticise his views as outdated. Known for his long and respected career in Nollywood, Edochie frequently shares opinions on relationships and tradition, continuing to spark debate on societal norms.

27-Year-Old Arrested for Killing Father, Stabbing Two Sisters in New Orleans

A 27-year-old man, Chukwuebuka Eweni, has been arrested by New Orleans police after allegedly killing his father and injuring his two sisters in a domestic attack on Pebble Street. Family members told WWL Louisiana that the deceased, Samuel Eweni, was a computer sciences professor at Southern University at New Orleans. The two injured victims were his daughters. Relatives described the attack as sudden and shocking, noting that the suspect had a history of mental illness but had never been violent before. One of the injured sisters has since been released from the hospital, while the other remains admitted but is expected to recover, according to reports. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) confirmed that Eweni was located in Jefferson Parish and is in custody, undergoing medical evaluation. “Chukwuebuka Eweni has been located in Jefferson Parish. He is currently in law enforcement custody while undergoing medical evaluation at an area facility,” the police said in a statement obtained by PUNCH Online on Sunday. NOPD said the incident occurred around 9:59 pm on November 11, 2025. Officers responded to a report of “an aggravated battery by cutting believed to be domestic in nature.” Upon arrival, they found an unresponsive adult male with a fatal stab wound and two other adult victims with stab injuries. The two surviving victims were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Detectives confirmed Eweni as the perpetrator and said arrest warrants have been issued for one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. “This suspect is believed to be armed and dangerous,” the statement added. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will officially identify the deceased and determine the cause of death following the autopsy and notification of next of kin.

MAN Urges Manufacturers to Seek Alternative Funding Amid Economic Strain

MAN Urges Manufacturers to Seek Alternative Funding Amid Economic Strain

By Kamal Yalwa: August 2, 2025 The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has called on its members to explore alternative sources of funding as the country grapples with persistent economic challenges and high interest rates. Speaking during the 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Ogun State branch of MAN, Chairman George Onafowokan highlighted the growing difficulty manufacturers face in accessing credit from commercial banks. He attributed this to the soaring Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), which stood at 27.5% as of May 2025, saying it has made loan repayments difficult and significantly eroded profit margins. Onafowokan urged manufacturers to consider innovative and non-traditional financing options to keep their businesses afloat and competitive under the current harsh economic conditions. Representing Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun at the event, Commissioner for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Adebola Sofela, commended manufacturers for their resilience. He reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to enhancing the ease of doing business through policies such as tax harmonization and improved infrastructure development. Stakeholders at the event also used the occasion to advocate for the revival of quarterly interactive meetings between manufacturers and government agencies, the rehabilitation of internal roads in industrial hubs like Agbara and Ota, and a halt to multiple taxation, which they say continues to stifle business growth. The AGM served as a platform for robust dialogue between the private sector and government on how to revitalize manufacturing in the face of Nigeria’s ongoing economic headwinds.
