Yul Edochie, a prominent Nigerian actor and film producer, has explained his absence from the funeral of fellow actor John Odonwodo, popularly known as Jnr Pope.

Edochie revealed that he refrained from attending due to alleged repeated betrayals by the deceased during his lifetime.

Odonwodo, who tragically lost his life at the age of 43 in a boat accident on April 10, was laid to rest last Friday in Enugu State.

Edochie addressed the matter on his Facebook page on Tuesday, explaining that he had chosen to keep silent about their relationship until persistent inquiries from fans prompted him to speak out.

He wrote, “I didn’t want to say anything till after his burial. I know many asked why I wasn’t there. I took him like a brother and good friend.

“I was there for him when needed me. But he stabbed me in the back, repeatedly. That’s Life.”

Following Yul Edochie’s revelations, netizens have linked his statements to a recent photo depicting his estranged wife, May Edochie, alongside the widow of the deceased during a condolence visit.

This connection has stirred diverse reactions online, with many questioning the timing of Yul’s disclosure.

Despite the speculation, Yul has hinted that he intends to disclose further details at a later time.

He added, “I’ll drop the full details soon so others can learn from it. Be careful what you wish people, it could come to you.”

Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin from the reality TV show Big Brother Naija, has made headlines with her recent declaration about her marital expectations.

On the latest episode of her podcast, “Doyin’s Corner,” the outspoken reality star asserted that she would not marry a man who could not afford domestic staff.

Doyin emphasised her stance by saying, “I hope that I would have a cook when I get married. Not even hope, I would have a cook when I get married, definitely.” She elaborated, “I will have somebody that will cook and clean. I’m not going to marry a man that cannot afford a cook. Because I’m going to be working. There’s no way I’m going to come back from work to cook and clean. That’s not going to happen.”

This statement has sparked considerable debate, reflecting Doyin’s ongoing controversial presence in the media. Her views on domestic responsibilities continue to challenge traditional expectations, aligning with her previous comments on women and household roles.

In the same development, BBNaija stars have also been vocal about their personal lives and views on relationships.

BBNaija’s Sheggz recently commented on the disrespect he perceives when men split bills with their partners.

Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, known professionally as Spryo, has openly expressed his admiration for Big Brother Naija star Nengi Hampson, while humourously revealing why he avoids being alone with her.

In a recent Instagram post, Spryo recounted an interview where he was asked which female celebrity he would avoid being alone with.

He named Nengi, jokingly stating that he tries not to act like Jesus but as His follower, he steers clear of temptation.

Spryo wrote, “An interviewer recently asked me, which female in this industry would you never allow yourself to be left in a room with? Guess who I named? That would be Nengi. I don’t like to pretend to be like Jesus, I am just His follower, not Him. So, I flee from every appearance of Nengi to avoid getting into trouble.”

He further recalled an encounter with her at a show where she sat opposite him. The “Who Is Your Guy” singer admitted that he had to continuously rebuke the devil in his mind until he eventually left the venue.

“Humnnn… I saw her at a show; she sat right opposite me and I kept rebuking the devil to leave my head until I had to run,” he added.
