Chacha Eke Hints On Reuniting With Estranged Husband
Popular actress Chacha Eke Faani has vowed to overcome her struggle with mental illness and thanked her estranged husband for being her support system throughout.
On Sunday, a viral video of the actress recalling instances of her going “bunkers” appeared at the House on the Rock Church in Asaba, Delta State.
She also made hints about getting back together with Austin Faani, her husband, from whom she announced their split a few months ago.
“I was lodged in a hotel with my husband and two children at that time and then one day, it happened. I went mad.
“Just like in the movies, I went bunkers. I went crazy. I began to throw away all of our belongings including the hotel properties. Ripping things apart.
“That incident was so intense that what I needed was a trip to the hospital. But I didn’t go to the hospital because, my husband and I who are seated here, was there to support me.
“Thank you for your support. We attributed it to demonic attack, marine spirit, voodoo, somewhere from somewhere. Oh! It’s Nollywood,” the mother of four said in parts.
On June 28, for the second time in two years, Chacha announced the end of her nine-year-old marriage to the father of her four kids.
Citing reasons for her decision, the actress stated the need to stay alive rather than leave as a corpse propels her to terminate the marriage noting it was long overdue.
She apologised to the public for misleading them by depicting she had a blissful life while being married.
In September, the 35-year-old filmmaker responded to fans’ worries about going back to her husband “when the chance presents itself” during an Instagram Live session with admirers.
She explained that the reason she still has Faani as her Instagram username is because she is required to do so because they will shortly return.
Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has alleged that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt early on Monday morning.
The rapper shared the shocking claim on social media, stating that the incident occurred as he was driving home from a club in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Darlington revealed the damage to his car, showing multiple bullet holes in the rear.

“Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?” he said, visibly shaken in the footage.
The rapper further expressed his disbelief, saying, “I never talk anything he don dey send killers, what is he scared of! That means am right.”
Though he did not explicitly identify the person behind the alleged attack, his comments have fueled speculation that the incident may be linked to his recent controversies and publicized detention.
Recall that Speed Darlington had been released from Kuje prison, where he had been held for undisclosed charges.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has previously suggested that the Afrofusion star Burna Boy played a role in the rapper’s detention.
Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, and an investigation is reportedly underway.

Responding to the video, she wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
The media personality further vented her frustration in an Instagram story, urging women to speak out against the situation.
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family,” she posted. “No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Toke’s anger didn’t stop there.
On Monday, she shared another Instagram story, questioning 2Baba’s decision to make the divorce public at this particular time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?” she wrote.

A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell.”
Toke concluded her message by highlighting the importance of timing and empathy in handling personal matters, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like 2Baba and Annie.
“You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she stated.
