Nollywood actor Kunle Remi and his wife, Tiwi, are celebrating the arrival of their first child after enduring a difficult medical journey filled with unexpected challenges.

Sharing the news on Instagram on Wednesday, Remi reflected on the trials they faced, including a premature birth that required their baby to spend 80 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

He also revealed that Tiwi had to be on complete bed rest following a surprising medical discovery, while they both managed demanding schedules and frequent travel.

“From an early arrival… to the unfolding of God’s perfect timing. Our story is living proof that God is God — unfailing, unwavering, and faithful till the very end,” Remi wrote, expressing gratitude for their journey.

Kunle and Tiwi’s love story captured public attention when the actor proposed during a visit to the U.S. in early 2024.

The couple later tied the knot in a grand wedding in January, attended by many Nollywood stars.

Following the announcement, fans, colleagues, and well-wishers flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple’s resilience and the joyous arrival of their baby.

The public dispute between renowned singer Timi Dakolo and Pastor Femi Lazarus has intensified, with Dakolo now accusing the Light Nation Church founder of profiting from ministry teachings.

The controversy first erupted when the two clashed over whether gospel artistes should charge fees for performing at church events.

Pastor Lazarus, in a widely circulated video, argued that gospel musicians should not demand payment for ministering, insisting that they should trust God for provision rather than seeking financial gain.

According to him, gospel artistes are not mere entertainers but ministers of the gospel.

Dakolo, however, pushed back against this view, accusing pastors of pressuring gospel singers to offer their services for free.

He defended their right to earn a living, pointing out the financial responsibilities they face.

He also suggested that instead of expecting professional gospel musicians to perform without payment, pastors should focus on developing their church choirs.

Clarifying his stance, Dakolo stated that his response was made out of respect and love. He emphasized that, while he grew up in the church, he does not identify as a gospel artist.

However, he then shifted the discussion by accusing Pastor Lazarus of charging students for enrollment in his ministry school, which provides Christian teachings.

According to Dakolo, the school’s enrollment fee is approximately $150 per student, with about 1,000 students reportedly registered. He backed up his claims by sharing a screenshot that allegedly details the fee structure.

He criticized the pastor for monetizing what he described as a “freely given gift and revelation.”

“All this was said in love and with respect, sir. I am not a gospel artist but a Christian raised in church. Let’s not shift the goal post,” Dakolo stated.

“By your definition, if anyone charges to minister, they are not gospel artists; they are performers. And by that definition, if any preacher charges to teach and minister, they are merchants of hope and motivational speakers too.”

Questioning the structure of the ministry school, he added:

“Sir, you are charging as low as $150 per person for your school of ministry, teaching and preaching Jesus, probably having as much as 1,000 students. Let’s do the maths. You even have premium and standard for God’s house? Are you not selling the gift and revelation freely given to you? Again, let’s not keep shifting the goal post.”

Nigerian singer Orezi has sparked discussions on relationship dynamics after revealing that he once received ₦30 million from a woman who simply admired him.

Speaking in an interview on The Echoroom, the Rihanna crooner recounted the unexpected experience, explaining that the generous woman, whom he met in Abuja, sent him the money the day after they had fun at a club.

“The highest amount of money I’ve received from a woman? I don’t want to mention the amount I received, but okay. It was 30 million Naira, back in Abuja. I wasn’t married to her or anything, she just liked me.”

Orezi emphasized that the money was given freely, without him asking or being in a committed relationship with the woman.

“It’s not like I needed money, I have money, but she just gave me. We weren’t dating, but we had something going on. I was shocked, I can’t lie.”

The singer also pointed out that men, especially celebrities, sometimes receive financial gifts from admirers, just as attractive women often benefit from admiration.

“A lot of artistes enjoy things like that, it’s a normal thing. The same way pretty women enjoy pretty privileges; men enjoy it too. In fact, there was a friend I had in university whose school fees and provisions were handled by a woman. It’s a topic swept under the carpet a lot; women do things for men a lot.”
