A Nigerian Twitter user narrates the trivial reason a bride’s family would have crashed a wedding in Maiduguri state.
As narrated by the man on Twitter, a wedding almost crashed all because of perfume, also known as (Turaren wuta). This was because the bride’s family demanded the sum of N200 thousand for the perfume.
This happened after the groom had already paid for the bride’s dowry and boxes. The groom insisted they call off the wedding, or he pays the sum of N50,000.
Eventually, the bride’s father agreed to his terms.
“A wedding almost crashed bcos of perfume (Turaren wuta). Bride family demanded 200k for d perfume, after paying dowry &d boxes (lefe). D groom said it’s either they accept 50k or call off d wedding, d bride’s father collected d 50k & said money for perfume won’t stop d wedding”
Yes (Maiduguri). D aunties &brides mom were willing to call off d marriage bcos of 200k for perfume &d groom’s last cash was 50k. It was d bride’s dad that said if this opportunity is missed, she might not get another 1. D dowry was 250k &700k spent on lefe (boxes,clothes& cosmetics)”

People sell my contact to strangers to beg me for money
Popular record label producer Don Jazzy has cried out over how he receives calls from strangers who buy his contact just to beg for money.
The Mavin Records Boss has complained about how he receives calls from anonymous persons who call to beg for money. According to him, he decided to put his phone on ‘do not disturb’ mode in order to see some of these strange calls from people.
He further lamented about his attitude of giving, adding that he is scared to go broke if he continues giving money out to strangers.
“My phone is forever on ‘Do Not Disturb’ (DND). I know that some people will think that I am cocky or forming but that’s not the point.
“They sell the number so people will just message me for no reason.
“When I’m in a good mood and I pick the calls and the conversation is getting longer they will tell you that they bought the number but they can’t tell you who sold it to them,” said Don Jazzy.
“You can lie any stupid lie and I will give you the money but if I continue that way I can go broke.”
“Fancy is lying, they had sex; we don’t have gay in our family”
Ifeoma, the sister of popular Nollywood actor, Alexx Ekubo, loses her cool over claims that her brother wasn’t sexually active with Fancy Acholonu for five years.
This comes following the claims that Alexx Ekubo never made love to Fancy all through the five years that they were together.
According to Ifeoma, both ex-lovers told her they made love together in January after they reconciled, hence her anger about rumours of him being gay.
She pressed on to ridicule Alexx’s ex-fiancee for feeding the public with lies that led to speculations of him being a homosexual.
When asked if being gay directly affects her or their family, Alexx Ekubo’s sister insisted that her brother didn’t turn gay overnight and neither could it have been because he dated Fancy.

Lionel Messi has made over £9 million from Instagram since winning World Cup
Argentinian football legend, Lionel Messi has been raking in so much money from Instagram since winning the 2022 World Cup with his teammates.
Messi, whose post-World Cup photo became the most-liked in the history of Instagram, garnering over 74 million likes, has had a whole lot of paid content on his Instagram page since the conclusion of the tournament.
Some of his recent posts on the social media platform where he has 414 million followers include ads from Call of Duty and Konami eFootball video games, Gatorade, Budweiser as well as crypto exchange Bitget and artificial vision brand Orcam.
Though Messi has made eye-watering money from endorsement deals, with $30 million coming in from Adidas, Gatorade, and Pepsi, Daily Mail reported that the footballer has been raking in around £1.5 million per branded Instagram post of late, totaling over £9 million.
Cristiano Ronaldo who made headlines for signing an insane £173 million per year deal with Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr, hasn’t posted a paid partnership since he played his final World Cup game even though he has more followers than Messi.
Asides from making money from promotions, Messi earns €35 million per year in wages from club Paris Saint-Germain.
What I saw my mom doing on TV that made me embarrassed
Priscilla Ojo, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, discloses how she felt embarrassed after watching her mother on “Real Housewives of Lagos”.
The Real Housewives of Lagos was one of the most popular reality series on Showmax which caused chaos on social media.
During an interview with Stephanie Coker on her “Me, Her & Everything Else” podcast, Priscilla Ojo disclosed that she felt bad when her mother fought dirty on live Television.
She said;
“Yeah! I think it was when she got into a fight and then she was like [shouting], I’m already used to that but I was like mummy, don’t let people see this. Oh my goodness. Because when she gets angry, you’ll think she literally hates you but like that’s how she expresses herself. So I’m like mum, this is a family thing, don’t take it out there. So when it was out there, I was like “oh my god”. But then, you know, everybody has their own.
“You know that whole thing that happened between Baba Ijesha and all that, I spoke to my mother, I said “mum, don’t go live”. She said “oh it’s fine”. When I left, she locked the room. I was like “mum!” I was calling her, she’s like “don’t call me”, she blocked my number. Cuz me I’m the calm type, I don’t like social media drama so I was like mum, don’t do this. But I feel like she was fighting for the right cause.”
