Reactions Continues To Trail Baltasar Engonga Sex Scandal
Nigerian Socialite Pretty Mike Condemns Baltasar Engonga Amidst Scandal Involving Brother’s Wife and Married Women
In a recent development that has captured widespread attention, Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur, Pretty Mike, has publicly criticised Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), following allegations of Engonga’s intimate relationships with his brother’s wife and multiple married women.
Engonga, 54, known for his influential position and close ties to President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has been embroiled in controversy after a raid on his residence reportedly uncovered over 400 explicit videos involving more than 300 women.
The scandal has not only tarnished his reputation but also sparked discussions about ethics and abuse of power among high-ranking officials.
Pretty Mike, born Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, is renowned in Nigeria for his flamboyant lifestyle and ownership of Club Uno in Lagos. He has often been a subject of media attention due to his unconventional appearances at events, such as attending weddings with multiple pregnant women. Despite his own controversies, Pretty Mike has taken a firm stance against Engonga’s alleged actions, emphasising the sanctity of marriage and condemning the betrayal of familial trust.
Public reactions to Pretty Mike’s condemnation have been mixed. Some individuals commend him for speaking out against moral misconduct, highlighting the importance of holding public figures accountable.
Others, however, question his position to criticize, given his own history of controversial behavior. This discourse reflects a broader societal debate on morality, accountability, and the responsibilities of those in positions of influence.
The scandal involving Engonga has prompted discussions about the ethical standards expected of public officials and the consequences of personal misconduct on professional roles.

Another user @ yugandharTarak said: “So can we all agree that women are the ones who cheat most?”
@Shaikshaveli153 also said: “It’s often said that women are more likely to cheat in relationships, but research shows that infidelity can occur equally among both genders.
While stereotypes may suggest otherwise, studies indicate. that men and women are equally likely to engage in infidelity, though motivations and patterns may differ between genders,he added”
@iamOmairo shared his thoughts by saying: “I always knew everyone online are hypocrites when it comes to issue. This man is a minister I bet you even an ordinary man on the street has done more than him.”
Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington or Akpi, has been released from Kuje Prison following a court directive.
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju disclosed this development on Tuesday, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
The singer’s release came after an Abuja court granted him bail. This decision followed intense public pressure on the Nigeria Police Force, which led to his arraignment.

Prior to his release, Speed Darlington had petitioned Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, over his prolonged detention. He called on the DIG to comply with a court order directing his release or formal arraignment.
Justice M.S. Liman had earlier issued an order on December 23, 2024, mandating the police to charge the singer within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
Speed Darlington’s arrest stemmed from allegations he made against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy. The singer accused Burna Boy of being involved in an immoral relationship with embattled U.S. rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
The situation has sparked widespread discussions, with many Nigerians expressing relief at Speed Darlington’s freedom while others continue to debate the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Dele Odule, has opened up about the most heartbreaking moment of his life, revealing it was when he lost his first child.
The 63-year-old Yoruba movie icon shared the emotional experience during an interview with his colleague, Kunle Afod, recounting how the loss deeply affected him, especially given the challenges surrounding the child’s birth.

Odule described the tragic news as “very hard” to bear, adding that he has since come to accept it as the will of God. Despite the acceptance, the actor expressed his fervent hope never to endure such a devastating tragedy again.
He said, “The saddest moment of my life was when I was called that my first child died. It was very hard on me. It was hard because of the situation faced during the child’s birth, but no one can question God’s authority. It was so bad that I don’t pray for it anymore.”
Known for his roles in classic Yoruba films, Odule continues to share both his professional and personal experiences, endearing himself to fans and colleagues alike.
In early January 2025, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy fulfilled a promise by gifting $30,000 to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer from Alaba Market who had claimed to be related to socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
This act of generosity occurred amid an ongoing feud between Burna Boy and the Cubana Chief Priest.

Following the donation, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that Bethel Okechukwu is not his brother, stating, “I have only one biological big brother & two kid sisters. They ain’t doing so bad.” He emphasized that he is not obligated to support his siblings financially and urged the public to verify such claims.
As of now, there are no credible reports indicating that Burna Boy instructed Bethel Okechukwu to take any specific actions towards Cubana Chief Priest after receiving the $30,000. The narrative appears to be centered around Burna Boy’s charitable gesture and Cubana Chief Priest’s subsequent clarification regarding his familial relationships.
