:Venita talks candidly about her relationship with Mercy Eke at the moment.

The BBNaija star Venita Akpofure has talked candidly about her relationship with Mercy Eke, a close friend from the past.

Remember how Mercy Eke and Venita unfollowed one another a few weeks following the conclusion of Big Brother Naija All Stars?

Fans have been curious about the status of the friendship between the two ladies, who had entered the Big Brother house as the closest of friends before parting ways on shaky terms.

In their chat, reality TV star Tacha talked about Venita’s life after BBNaija, covering her relationships and experiences.

A pivotal moment in the conversation occurred when Tacha inquired about Venita’s current status with Mercy Eke.

In response, Venita said that she has little time for personal relationships because of her demanding work, which frequently requires her to travel abroad.

By expressing her distaste for “watering any flower,” Venita seemed to be ending her relationship with Mercy.

She made it clear, though, that she did not think there were any major issues between them.

Why I don’t consider my failed marriages as failure – Funke Akindele

Funke Akindele, a Nollywood producer, has opened up about her failures and the reasons behind her decision not to label her failed marriages as failures.

Akindele stated in a Wazobia FM interview in Lagos that her mother instilled in her the belief that success is impossible without failure at a young age.

She emphasizes the value of her work and mental health while saying she simply takes marriage “as it comes.”

The actress continued by saying that she wants to inspire the next generation, lead a meaningful life, and support her siblings and children.

“If you ask me now, can you tell me one failure? I do not see it as a failure,” she remarked. My personal life—my marriage—I just go with the flow. I put a lot of importance on my mental health. My career matters a lot, sweetheart.

“I must have an influence. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to motivate the youth in our community. I have to continue being strong for my siblings and kids. For what reason am I alive? My mind is focused because I have a goal. 

According to Funke Akindele, “Yes, I cry and I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘keep moving.'”

According to actress Caroline Danjuma, “I regret ending my marriage and would love to go back to my ex-husband”

Remember that in 2016 after nine years of marriage, Nollywood actress Caroline Danjuma and her ex-husband Musa Danjuma called it quits?

Caroline did, however, express in an interview that she would adore going back to see her ex-husband with media personality Innih Emah.

Had she had the experience she now has, she claims she never would have left her marriage.

She explained, “I think I would have handled it better if I had been this age and had the experience I have now. There were just some irreconcilable differences.”

The love of my life would always be him, Musa. My three children are fathered by him. I said to him, “You know what?” I am lucky to have this man as my husband. That being said, he would always be my true love, and that would never change.

“I would love to start a family and get married again, whether it is to my ex-husband or a new, wonderful man that God sent. Yes, if God says this is the man you are going to marry, I would absolutely love to return to him [my ex-husband]. Happiness and mental tranquility are all I want. I just want someone I can grow with and have peace of mind with as I get older. Money is not as valuable as mental tranquility.

On Tuesday, Amanda Uchechi Ugo, a native of Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area in Imo State, shot and k#lled Ugwu. Uchechi Ugo is 23 years old.

Daddy Freeze told Emeka Ike, his ex-wife, “No one is a saint or the devil.” 

Nollywood actor Emeka Ike and his ex-wife Suzanne are the subject of controversy. Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has responded to this.

Daddy Freeze made a point in a recent live session about his failed marriage.

He stated that his ex-wife made different, false claims in a court document in an attempt to cast herself as the innocent party, so he found it hard to believe anything she said about Emeka Ike.

He clarified that while he was not endorsing Emeka Ike, nobody is a saint or the devil when it comes to divorce.

It is not possible; we have to deal with what each of them has to offer, he declared. They used to do this to me, so when she said she sounded like the gentle one, I almost believed her.

Do not forget that I am a product of a divorce. My former partner mentioned in our court documents that I utilize to invite my friends to share a bed with her, and that if she does not agree, I will blow her mind.

“when a divorce case is going on there is nothing each of the party will not say to look good.”

Men dislike women who are too successful, as Ini Edo explains.

Actress Ini Edo of Nollywood claims that men prefer women who can perform the basic tasks that are expected of them rather than those who are super successful.

She continued by saying that some men find women’s strength intimidating and that they are more attracted to submissive, controllable women.

She revealed this when she appeared with media star Toke Makinwa on the most recent episode of TokeMoments.

“Some men feel threatened by the strength of women,” she said. Due to the possibility of appearing overly engaged. You are a woman, first and foremost, and you are present everywhere. You are also gorgeous.

Generally speaking, men prefer it when women are not overly successful because it allows them to pull you around, claim the role of the woman, take care of the house, cook, and perform other household chores that are expected of women.

It is almost as though you are competing with their ego when you become overly strong. However, the truth is that I enjoy being the queen, as I always say. It is not my intention as a woman to ride over or subjugate any man.

“I do not think I would like to be in charge of a man, no matter how successful I become. What then makes it so beautiful? It is really lovely to stroll alongside my partner while he gives me directions and watches out for me.

Ini Edo added that she is a woman from a traditional background and feels that men are meant to be the head of the household and to look out for and take care of women and their families in general.

Why it took me thirteen years to bring Emeka Ike back for Malaika – Toyin Abraham

I have been in contact with uncle Emeka since last year. I am aware that he has been away for some time, based on everything we have heard. Since I was not as well-known at the time, I sent him a message.

I told my manager, Otunba Seun, to get his number, and he said, “What if?” referring to everything that had happened.

You have suffered enough over the past 13 years, so even if you did it, do not worry—everything will be fine.

Why did I bring Emeka Ike back for Malaika after a thirteen-year absence? 

Since I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, I do not mind taking chances; it makes no difference to me who you are in this role. Nothing  to worry about.
