Wale busari04 mins

Content creator and philanthropist Mitchell Mukoro, widely known as King Mitchy, has publicly apologised following backlash over her recent conduct online, including a moment where she consumed a substance during a live video. In a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, the influencer offered apologies to several individuals, including Seyi Tinubu, activist VeryDarkMan, the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and Nigerians at large. “Good morning Nigerians. I’m ready to be held accountable for my actions. For some days I’ve thought about my behaviour and I know that I was wrong and I want to be held accountable. “For the substance I took on live video, that was very wrong of me because there are young girls that are looking up to be me one day and I know I disappointed a lot of people. That was wrong of me, I was wrong.” She also extended a direct apology to Seyi Tinubu, acknowledging that her earlier actions were disrespectful. “And my boss ST (Seyi Tinubu), I’m so sorry. I know I apologised privately but I did not disrespect you privately, I disrespected you publicly so I want to apologise publicly. I’m so sorry sir. “I want you to know that I will never take your support for granted.” While addressing the traditional ruler, she expressed regret for mentioning him during the controversy. “I’m so sorry, sir. I’m so sorry for bringing your name into this, I’m so sorry daddy.” King Mitchy also spoke about her disagreement with VeryDarkMan, describing him as a brother and admitting she had come to better understand his advocacy. “You’re fighting for Nigerians and we can make Nigeria a better place and I’m sorry for coming at you like that. “Maybe now I understand you better because I had to step back and understand the kind of person that you are and I see that you’re fighting for a good cause for Nigeria to be better. “And you need more supporters, not people to fight you. I’m sorry my brother. Thank you, Nigerians.” The apology comes weeks after online debates erupted in late February 2026 when King Mitchy claimed she had renovated a dilapidated school within six days, arguing that rapid development is possible when there is genuine commitment to change.

Her response follows days of heated exchanges with VeryDarkMan over claims surrounding school renovation projects.

Mitchy expressed appreciation for his support, admitting she had not previously realized how influential he is. “The king has said you people should leave me alone oo. I honestly didn’t know him before I. Thank you for being so kind and generous, sir. The king has said you guys should leave me alone. That I’m still a young girl. Aww, I never knew how important he was before today. So generous and kind-hearted”.

Ex Ooni Queen, Zaynab Explains Purpose Behind Marriage To SGF George Akume

Wale busari03 mins

Zaynab Ngohemba, wife of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has explained the motivation behind their recent marriage, saying it was a conscious decision rooted in purpose, maturity, and shared ideals. The couple tied the knot a few weeks ago in a low-key private ceremony, drawing public attention due to Akume’s high-profile role and Zaynab’s own public background. In a statement released by her media aide, David Adeoye, Zaynab said the union was not about personal reinvention or change, but about deepening the commitment of two individuals already dedicated to public service. The statement described the marriage as “a partnership shaped by maturity, shared purpose, and mutual understanding,” adding that personal stability plays a key role in fulfilling public duties effectively. “It is the coming together of two individuals already devoted to public service,” the statement said. “This partnership reinforces shared values such as humility, discipline, empathy, and responsibility.” Adeoye noted that the marriage carries wider significance, especially at a time when many Nigerians are demanding greater integrity, accountability, and compassion from those in leadership positions. He explained that the union reflects a leadership philosophy that blends authority with empathy and governance with sincere service, stressing that leaders are most effective when grounded in strong personal values. “At a time when Nigerians demand more humanity from their leaders, this union quietly signals that service is strongest when built on shared values, stability, and a long-term vision,” the statement added. Zaynab, formerly known as Zaynab Otiti Obanor, was previously married to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. Their traditional marriage took place in March 2016, but ended in separation in 2017. During the 17-month union, she was popularly known as Olori Wuraola.

Akume for always standing by him. We enjoin everyone to continue to support his Excellency even in this beautiful union with Queen Zaynab.” Queen Zaynab, formerly known as Olori Wuraola during her 17-month marriage to the Ooni of Ife, which ended in 2017, was ceremonially welcomed into her new home in Mbakor with cultural reverence. The family highlighted the importance of their Tiv roots and the significance of Benue State, saying: “Welcome to Benue State, the Food Basket of the Nation; welcome to Mbakor, the seat of leadership of the Tiv nation; and welcome to the Dajoh family, the home of your darling husband. Welcome home, Queen Zaynab.” The announcement also coincided with the festive season, with the family extending holiday greetings: “We wish you all a happy Christmas Celebration and a Prosperous New Year.” Senator Akume, a former Governor of Benue State and a prominent figure in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, has sparked nationwide attention with his marriage to Queen Zaynab, a well-known humanitarian and former royal. When contacted, Akume’s spokesman, Yomi Odunuga, confirmed the marriage, clarifying that it is over a year old. He also dispelled claims that the wedding took place on December 24 in Gboko, explaining that the couple’s appearance at a Christmas event led to the misunderstanding.
