Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has thrown shades at Yvonne Nelson hours after the actress accused her of having an affair with Iyanya. Yvonne Nelson had claimed in her just-released book that her ex-boyfriend Iyanya had an affair with Tonto Dikeh while they were still dating. According to Yvonne, Tonto usually visited Iyanya and even slept over at his house on several occasions. “Anytime I left Iyanya’s place, another actress came over to him and sometimes slept over. The person turned out to be Tonto Dikeh of Nigeria. When I was convinced about the authenticity of this information I received, I was heartbroken. I took to Twitter to rant. Tonto Dikeh responded saying people changed and so did feelings so I should move on”, she said. Tonto Dikeh reacting to the entire saga joined Ghanaian celebrity, Afia Schwarzenegger, to taunt the actress and the launch of her book. Tonto commented on a post shared by Schwarzenegger on Instagram who threw direct shades at Yvonne. Afia shared a shady photo of a remixed book cover titled ‘I am not Afia Schwarzenegger’ and in her caption, she said it will focus on ‘the book of revelation and abortions.’ Remember, in Yvonne Nelson’s book, the actress opened up about having abortion and also made revelations about her personal life. Tonto in her response reposted Schwarzenegger’s shady book with the caption:
“Na this one I go promote.” See screenshots below:

Mourinho reacts after being called out over ‘ugly tactics’ against Bayer Leverkusen
AS Roma Jose Mourinho has served a response after being called out over the “ugly” tactics he employed during the second leg of the Europa League semi-final clash with Bayer Leverkusen. Roma progressed to the final of the Europa League after grabbing a draw during the match. The Italian club which had a 1-0 advantage, sat inside their half in the second-leg of semi-final match and defended with their bodies. Trending:Another Nigerian lady set to break Guinness World Record as she begins counting of rice grains (Video) Xabi Alonso’s men had 23 attempts and failed to convert any. Roma on the other hand failed to register a single shot on target. Criticizing Mourinho after the match, Leverkusen midfielder Kerem Demirbay said; “It’s a shame that in a semi-final at such a high level that this type of play can be rewarded. They made things very ugly at the end.” When asked about the tactics and if he is physically fine, Mourinho said refrained from engaging in his trademark celebratory run on the pitch because of his close bond with Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso who he coached during his stint with Real Madrid. He said; “No, it’s not an agility problem. Experience doesn’t come into it because you still feel the pressure during these moments in the same way. You feel the same joy too. It doesn’t change anything. “To tell you the truth, it’s very hard for me to come up against my friends because while you may forget during the game, it’s tough afterwards. I don’t like celebrating in front of my guys and the person doing an extraordinary job out there, Xabi, is one of mine. That’s why I struggle.”

Big Brother Naija star, Maria has disclosed that she felt embarrassed after she mistakenly called out Apostle Selman.

According to the reality star, she felt embarrassed for wrongly accusing a man of God that has nothing to do with the accusations. She said she prayed the day and asked for forgiveness.
“I prefer being called fat, plus-sized is not empowering” — Monalisa Stephen
Although being called fat is disliked by some individuals, notable actress and social media influencer, Monalisa Stephen affirmed that she doesn’t have an issue being called that. She made this known during an interview with Saturday Beats where she expressed her preference for being referred to as fat.
The content creator who recently revealed she dated two men simultaneously also addressed her talent and handling social media trolls. Monalisa Stephen on why she prefers being called fat than plus-sized “I prefer being called fat because that is what I am. Some people find the term ‘fat’ offensive, so they tend to use ‘plus-sized’, ‘fluffy’, or ‘chubby’. But for me, it is what it is; I am fat. I will expect people to know that I am not angry when I am called fat. Being called plus-sized is not empowering for me. I feel people should be able to live in reality; to know if they are really fat. If they don’t like the way they are, they should do something about it, instead of getting angry at being called fat. There is nothing wrong with being fat and accepting one’s body.” Talent got me this, not sex appeal “I don’t think so. I have always worked based on my talent. I am into content creation because I am talented; not because I have a sexy body. I am a talented content creator.” Monalisa Stephen on how she handles being trolled “Before now, it used to get to me because I always wondered why someone would pick up their phone and drop a hate comment on someone’s post they don’t even know. Before, I used to try to educate them. But, I have found out that there are some people that just don’t like one and that’s okay. One is not jollof rice that must be enjoyed by everybody. When I see such comments, I ignore them or use the ‘block’ button. There is nothing to prove. I just ignore or use the block button.”
Life coach, Solomon Buchi defends woman who called Igbo men “insufferable and misogynistic”
An Igbo woman took to Twitter to write her opinion about her kinsmen from the Eastern part of Nigeria. According to the lady, identified as @Aphrodiety__, Igbo men are very annoying, arrogant, and have a striking dislike for successful women. As expected, her opinion has been met with a lot of criticism and also stirred up a whole controversy. While most ladies agree with this point, the men are unabashedly unrepentant with their egoistic and snarky responses. However, writer and life coach, Solomon Buchi Bartholomew, has come to the lady’s defence, saying that what she said about Igbo men is true, though she should try not to generalise. Solomon Buchi, who is also an Igbo man, took to his twitter page to weigh in on the controversial post and also call out his tribesmen for being control freaks. He accused Igbo men of acting like “demigods” when they have money and forcefully trying to turn their wives to housewives. He said they see women as the “lesser gender” and are obsessed with male children. He wrote, #Thread If I say that Igbos are hardworking, a lot of y’all will nod and agree with me. But if I say that Igbo men are typically misogynistic, you bash and cuss me out. Why would you agree to a conclusive positive statement and not take criticisms that way too? — Solomon Buchi (@Solomon_Buchi) May 15, 2019 If I say that Igbos are hardworking, a lot of y’all will nod and agree with me. But if I say that Igbo men are typically misogynistic, you bash and cuss me out. Why would you agree to a conclusive positive statement and not take criticisms that way too? First off, there’s really a problem with selective stereotypes. Besides, stereotypes are stereotypes because they have truths in them. We will say Yoruba people love parties. Hausas are hospitable and United. Igbos are hardworking and business oriented. Yeah? Now, in that same light, there are sides to the positives too. Igbo men are highly misogynistic; this is not tribalism. This isn’t fueling ethnocentrism; this is just a truth. If you call it a generalization then let’s look at our hypocrisy.. Nigerians will come online and say the police is tough, bad and tyrannical towards the citizens. The police is mostly painted in bad light. Nobody remembers that’s stereotyping. There are freaking good police men but outnumbered by the bad ones. What am I trying to say? When someone calls out a tribe; criticizing them, don’t even come claiming its stereotyping because we all freaking stereotype and it’s not always bad! We all know every stereotype has exceptions! Do Akwa Ibom people love dog meat? Yes! Many but then not ALL! Are Nigerian politicians corrupt? Most not all! What am I saying? There’s always something peculiar to a group of people! Good and bad! Now back to the main talk.. They usually feel like they are demigods especially when they have money; they feel entitled to a woman and everything about her. Their ego is bloated and honestly usually uncouth. This is the truth. They’d tell you how they can feed you in disdain just because you refused to comply to their proposal. They’d remind you how they have someone your mate that they are taking care of. They’d get married to a woman and turn her to a housewife by force. Control you like you don’t have a mind of your own. The Igbo traditional practices don’t help. They have misogyny so entrenched in them. The woman is seen as a lesser gender. It’s prevalent with Igbos, the obsession with male children is just so much. And even when a there’s a girl child, there are Igbo sayings like: “Nwoke bu ugwu nwanyi”. This means that a man is the dignity of a woman. Like saying a woman is incomplete without a man. There are many instances. Ask women around you. Many of them will conform to you. I am not saying all Igbos are this way but trust me it’s more difficult to make a typical Igbo man to consider gender equality than any other tribe. We are very traditional. Always clenched to how our fathers did it. Always. Well, this isn’t a hate post. This is a call out post that we can do better. There are good Igbo men who are progressive. So yeah, Igbo men should strive to be more open and shed the stripes of misogyny. I know it’s how we were conditioned but you should make the difference. Gracias!
