Fashion designer, Yomi Casual, has taken to social media to berate ladies who dress skimpy, leaving little or nothing to the imagination.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Yomi said women need to start talking to other ladies now about dressing because the ”urge to go naked is becoming like madness.”
A Twitter user has shared the bizarre story of how a woman retaliated when a female who she had quarrelled with, attacked her only child at their home in Mararaba, Nasarawa state, two days ago.
Actor Bolanle Ninalowo has prayed to God to protect and bless women.
The actor acknowledged the sacrifices his mother and wife made for him and their contributions in his life.
He added that remembering these sacrifices “keeps the fear of God” in him, redirects him whenever he slips, and reminds him of how much he owes to their existence.
Two female Twitter users are attempting to break “society standards” by refusing to shave.
Sharing an insight on their journey, @laetiky said their decision is hinged on being told by the society that your natural self is dirty, disgusting, not good enough and that to be accepted you have to submit to grooming rituals that can be discomforting, painful or expensive.
The tweets read;
Most women can relate to the discomfort it is to have to submit to beauty standards. When society tells you that your natural self is dirty, disgusting, not good enough and that to be accepted you have to submit to grooming rituals that can be discomforting, painful or expensive.
I’m not yet where i want to be when it comes to rejecting beauty standards but im slowly getting there.
I’ve been able to deconstruct myself on many aspect but the pressure to be “beautiful” still a little bit there.I had the opportunity to meet Esther, a very inspiring woman and artist.
She describes herself as a body hair activist and i was really inspired by her story of self acceptance.
She shared with me the journey of how she went from hiding her natural self to how she now embraced it .
The Senior Special Assistant to the Edo State Governor on Digital Media, Sarah Ogunbor, has reacted to Solomon Buchi’s tweet about broke women.
The life coach and writer had appealed to men to stop dating broke women.

Recall that few weeks ago, he announced that actress, Judy Austin has become his wife and they welcomed a baby boy together.
Following the news, he was lambasted on several social media platforms, so this forced the Nollywood star to say he would speak up.
In a recent 12-miniute-long video, Yul confirmed his marriage to Judy, and stressed that it was no one’s business if he chose to marry more wives.
The Nollywood actor added that there were other pressing issues in the country, and he urged those dragging him to focus on their personal lives.
Yul’s said: “It’s my life, I have the right to wake up in the morning and marry 25 women if I like I make it up to 50, It is not any of your business.”

A man identified as Ian Manuel recently had his life imprisonment sentence overturned with the help of a lady he had shot 31 years ago.
He had already spent 26 years in jail before she saved him after reviewing the details of the incident.
People reports that in 1990, a lady named Debbie Baigrie was out with friends after the delivery of her second child in Florida, US when Manuel who was 13 years old at time attempted to rob her.
It was said that a young Manuel was under peer pressure from older teens to carry out a robbery that evening and Debbie was the unlucky victim.
Manuel shot Debbie in the mouth and this affected her jaw and some of her teeth. Today reports that Manuel (who had a history of minor criminal offences) was later arrested for an unrelated incident and put behind bars where he confessed to being the person who shot Debbie in the mouth. This consequently got him a life imprisonment.
Debbie later learnt in a newspaper that Manuel was 13 years old when the robbery happened and this touched her. Manuel, according to Goalcast, placed a call across to the lady he hurt, apologized and began sending letters.
She also sent letters in response after forgiving him and followed up with Manuel’s court case seeking to overturn the life imprisonment judgement.
Manuel was eventually released from prison and kissed Debbie upon their first reunion on the same spot had shot her. The lady sees Manuel – who lot his biological mum and relatives while in prison – as an adopted son.
A young lady has advised women to respect men owing to their roles in bringing humans into the world.
According to her, women think they are gods, but they are not. She believes that men deserve a great portion of the respect and admiration women get for birthing life.
The lady said men carry life, so without a man’s seed, women wouldn’t be able to take in and give birth to a child.
She also noted that it is not easy for women to carry a child in her womb for nine month but that shouldn’t be a reason to disrespect men because they are the real valuable gender.

Fast-rising Nigerian comedian and skit-maker, Donald Ernest, popularly known as Expatriate Comedian, has opened up about his life as a social media celebrity.
He revealed during an interview with The Punch that he often gets rejected by women because of the fact that he’s albino.
Read Excerpts from the chat below:
Why do you call yourself ‘Expatriate Comedian’?
I am from Etsako East Local Government Area in Edo State. I call myself ‘Expatriate’ because I feel it is a good and catchy name for a comedian. An expatriate is ‘person who lives outside their native country.’ Because of the way I look (as an albino), I decided to adopt that name.
When did you realise you were good at comedy?
Growing up, I played around a lot and I made people laugh. People always told me I was funny and could make people laugh. That was when I knew I could actually do comedy.
When did you start comedy and content creation full-time?
I started comedy full-time in 2018. But, I actually delved into it in 2010 but I stopped after some time. I tried again in 2016 and I also stopped. But, in 2018, I took it up fully as a career. I love comedy so much.
What creative process goes into making your skits?
Firstly, it’s a passion. And because I have a passion for it, it is very seamless for me. I do it with ease, devoid of stress. Most things I say on set come naturally to me. They are not rehearsed. The words, the sense of humour are not things I plan. 95 per cent of what I say in skits are spontaneous.
Which has been the most challenging skit for you to make?
I have a range of styles but none has been challenging to me, so far. That is because I am still discovering myself. I am still learning more about my comedy, so none has been challenging for now. At the same time, I don’t consider any skit to be more interesting than others because I am still discovering myself and trying to broaden my scope. I usually say that ‘Expatriate is my best skit maker’. Not because it’s me, but because the person doing it does it at ease. There are skits I shoot that I don’t find funny, and I don’t like them. I only watch them once and move on.
Some online comedians are switching to mainstream filmmaking. Do you see yourself doing that anytime soon?
Yes, I would definitely do that. That is one of my prayers and I know that it will come to pass by God’s grace. I am not stopping at skit-making. I intend to go into filmmaking as well. And, I am not just talking about Nollywood, I have my eyes on Hollywood as well.
Many entertainers find it hard to gain approval from their family and friends for their careers. Were your family and friends supportive when you decided to embark on this journey?
When I was doing music, my parents did not support me. How would they now support my comedy career? If one has not been able to do anything meaningful with one’s career or it is not yielding positive results, most times, people would not support one, especially in this part of the world. Only my younger siblings knew I was doing comedy. They did not even believe I was going to stay this long because they knew I had been switching between music and comedy. I don’t need anybody’s approval for whatever I want to do. I put so much energy, passion and love into whatever I do. Some of my friends did not believe in me and they did not support me. One’s friends could say that one is funny but they may not buy into the idea of one doing comedy full-time. However, the same people who didn’t believe my capabilities now welcome it.
How do you combine being a stand-up comedian with being an online content creator?
I started my career as a stand-up comedian, which I love so much. I actually believe that stand-up comedy is more difficult than online comedy. But, it is what I started with and I love it so much. I enjoy rehearsing and performing on stage but stand-up comedy could be quite tedious. Thankfully, I am still able to do both without stress.
People have different views about albinos. Have you ever been discriminated against on account of that?
In this part of the world, people have different views about albinos. And, I have been discriminated against because of that. Whenever I approach women, they often say, ‘I don’t like albinos.’ I am used to it though. However, I have noticed that people are more accepting of albinos now, unlike what obtained in the past. But, I don’t care. I have no apology for who I am.
What does being an albino mean to you?
Being an albino does not mean anything to me. I wrote a song sometime ago where I stated that the difference between albinos and people with dark skin was just the shortsightedness and skin tone of albinos. In my head, I feel normal. The only thing difference is that I cannot see far and my skin lacks melanin. There is no difference between someone with dark skin and an albino. It is not something I spare a lot of thoughts for. If I travel out of the country, I believe that I would blend in unnoticed and be more accepted. If someone says I cannot do something, I would prove them wrong by doing it well.
Have you ever enjoyed any privileges because you’re an albino?
Yes, I do enjoy some privileges because of who I am. For example, in 2019, I went to register for a voters’ card and the place was crowded. There were hundreds of people ahead of me when I got there but one of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s personnel noticed me. Immediately she saw me, she told me to leave where I was standing under the sun. She then apologised to the people that were there before me, and told them that she would like to attend to me first.
What are the things people don’t know about albinos that you would like them to know?
In this part of the world, people are not that educated about certain things and albinism is one of them. Albinism is simply the lack of melanin in one’s skin. Aside from that and short-sightedness, every other thing is the same with any normal person.
Do you consider yourself a beacon of hope to albinos who want to get into the creative sector?
Well, yes. There are a bunch of albinos coming behind me. Now that I have scaled hurdles to get to this level, I believe more albinos will come along and they will be accepted. So indeed, I consider myself a beacon of hope for albinos who want to go into the entertainment industry. It is the encouragement they get from what I do that would make them look up to me.
What have you gained from being a content creator and a comedian?
I have gained popularity and acceptance. As for material things, I have not gained anything much yet, but I know that would definitely come.
What is your assessment of the comedy industry in Nigeria?
The comedy industry in Nigeria is not organised because there are no structures on the ground for up-and-coming comedians to follow. To me, it is more like a jungle. There are no standard comedy clubs that could aid the development of comedy in Nigeria. It is more of a comic scene than an industry. I feel it is still growing. By God’s grace, my generation would try to restructure things, so that it would be a better industry for people to show their talents and creativity.
South Africa is considering a new law that will allow women marry more than one husband, in the same way that polygamous men are allowed to marry more than one wife.
The Department of Home Affairs which proposed the law in a 67-page policy document also called Green Paper on Marriages, stated that the current marriage act does not promote equality.
The policy document highlighted that the current marriage legislation is discriminatory as it does not recognise Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Rastafarian marriages. The policy document also called for polyandry to be legally recognised as a form of marriage.
The Green Paper proposed three new marriage regimes to bring equality in marriage laws. One of these options is a gender-neutral marriage regime.
It read; “This would accommodate both polygyny and polyandry
“…Therefore all marriages, whether monogamous or polygamous, could be concluded regardless of the sex or sexual orientation of the person.”
South Africa’s Ministry of Home Affairs appears to favour the option for a gender-neutral marriage regime that allows both polyandry and polygyny.
The Ministry wrote; “The political appetite of the country to confront the challenges of the current marriage statute will be tested through these options. However, if Section 9 of the Constitution was to be implemented in its entirety, option 3 will tick all the boxes.”
The Ministry however noted that the option for polyandry has ruffled feathers and South Africa’s traditional leaders have vociferously opposed the proposal, claiming that a woman being married to more than one husband is an “unacceptable practise because it is not of African origin.”
It added; “Ironically, stakeholders who believed in the practice of polygamy … were opposed to the practice of polyandry.
“This is the beginning of a crucial public discourse that will re-define the concept of marriage in South Africa.
“The process will unearth issues that may make some of us uncomfortable, but will encourage dialogue within the South African and international communities.”
South Africans have until the end of June to comment on the department’s proposals.
Music executive and producer, Michael Collins Ajereh better known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that all the women he ever dated knew about his first and only marriage, which crashed years ago.
Don Jazzy set the internet abuzz weeks ago when he opened up about getting married to Michelle Jackson when he was 20 years old.
Sadly the marriage only lasted for two years as he got divorced at age 22, due to his divided attention which he focused more on his music career.
However, in a recent interview, the Mavin records CEO said that all the ladies he has dated ever since his marriage ended knew about the union.
According to Don Jazzy, his ex-girlfriends just decided not to let the cat out of the bag.

Legendary Nigerian actor, Pete Edochie has revealed that the main reason women experience domestic violence in marriage is because of their feministic dispositions.
He stated this in an exclusive interview with BBC Igbo, adding that feminism has no place in Nigerian culture and Africans do not worship women like the whites do.
According to the 74-year-old, women of nowadays cannot cook and it is worrisome because cooking is an important quality a wife must possess.
He also said that women replying their husbands disrespectfully and challenging him triggers domestic violence.
In his words;
“Feminism isn’t something black people are known for. Once a woman leaves her parents to meet her husband and take his surname, she is to be submissive to him. If she wasn’t married, she can do whatever she wants.
“Women walk and show off their behinds, it’s so that men would find them. If you see such a woman and express your marriage interest, then she starts walking properly. Our women now plunge into feminism nowadays.
“They can’t even keep their husbands anymore. Is that a good thing? These women are schooled but a lot of wives now can’t even cook — one thing that a woman should be good in so as to be able to keep her husband.
My mother was not educated but she would cook all sorts of soups, including bitter leaf, oha, ogbono, okro, egusi, ukwa, and what have you. My father would always get back home hurriedly to eat what his wife had cooked.
“Today, our wives can’t even cook anymore. Women who can’t cook aren’t supposed to call themselves women. And feminism is what causes women to be beaten up in marriages. You complain to a woman and she retorts.
“It becomes unbearable, so you stretch your arm and deal her a slap. Domestic violence starts. I don’t like seeing women crying because it hurts me deeply. But it is the fault of the woman herself a lot of times.”
“To be honest, the understanding of women is low. I’m not a misogynist but I’ve associated with them a lot, even at work. Feminism has no place in our culture. We don’t worship women as the whites do.
In the west, women could join forces and accuse a male colleague of assault. The man resigns. This can’t happen in our culture. As a young woman, if pedestrians don’t admire you, you’d weep for fear of not being beautiful.
“I’m a strong adherent of culture. Kneeling to put a ring on a woman’s hands is not our culture. Any man who does that transfers the headship of his family to that woman. Until my dad died at 96, he never knelt to propose.
“It’s just like kneeling down on entering a church because there’s a higher being to whom you’re paying respect. Men climb trees to tap palm wine. How does it look if women do the same? Today women dictate to me.
“It wasn’t like that in our days. How women talk to men nowadays isn’t how we were raised. My mother was never beaten. My wife and I have been married for 52 years. I never beat. My five married sons don’t beat their wives.”

Five member of a notorious kidnap gang who specialize in abducting women and girls, sexually abusing them and obtaining ransom from their families, have been arrested by the police in Rivers State.
The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CP Frank Mba, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects on Sunday in a statement, said the five suspects were arrested by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), following a “massive manhunt for the perpetrators of the recent trend of abduction of women in some states in the South-South parts of the country, especially Port Harcourt and its environs.”
In the statement, Mba said:
“The victims are subjected to series of sexual abuses and ransom demanded from their families before their release.”
The Force PRO gave the names of the suspects as “Osinachi Ngwakwe, 22, from Ubaka Community in Umuahia South local government area of Abia State, Sammy Junior Inordee, alias T-Boy, 27, from Gwarra Community in Khana local government area of Rivers State.
“Others are Epo-Bari Nwolu, 26, from Ogale Community in Eleme local government area of Rivers State, Yabari Gbarale, 29, from Gwara community, Khana local government area of Rivers State and Barine Yilda, alias Albino or Yellow, 30, from Gwara community, Khana local government area of Rivers State.
“Investigations reveal that the suspects target lone female drivers of posh cars as they drive out of offices, shopping malls or any vulnerable places.
“They, thereafter, trail them to lonely roads, abduct and take them to their criminal hideouts, where they sexually abuse them and demand ransom from their families before their release. They also sell off their exotic cars,” the statement from CP Mba said.
He added that items recovered from the suspects included four AK47 rifles, one double barrel shotgun and sets of military camouflage uniforms suspected to have been illegally acquired, which they wear to beat security checks.“Effort is being intensified to arrest other fleeing gang members and recover more weapons and stolen vehicles used by the suspects for their operations,” he said.
A serial rapist arrested by the Ondo State Security Network Agency, Operation Amotekun, Shina Adaramola, has confessed that he raped over 50 women before he was nabbed after breaking into a house in Owo local government area of the state.
The 46-year-old Adaramola, a bricklayer, who was arrested during the Agency’s ‘Operation Clean Up’ exercise, also confessed to have robbed over 100 houses, adding that he used charms to rape the women.
While confessing to his atrocities, Adaramola said he took to crime after his fiancée left him for another man few days to their wedding.
“I live in Ijare. I had a fiancée who left me for another man a few days to our wedding. I became broke and frustrated and that was why I got involved in armed robbery, which was lucrative for me.
“Whenever there is a party, I pretend to be one of the organisers. I have a special wine opener which I use to open wine for rich people in the party. With that, I get my victims.
“I have been involved in this act for a long time since I lost everything and my landlord chased me out of his house, and my fiancée said I was not good for her anymore.
“I have raped over 50 women. Whenever I wanted to rape any woman, I always make sure I operate at night and the woman will fall for me after using charms on her. I make sure I cover the women’s faces while in the act.”
