Davido Sets August Date for White Wedding with Chioma in Miami

Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he and his wife, Chioma, will be having their long-awaited white wedding in Miami this August. The Grammy-nominated artist made the announcement during an interview on The Breakfast Club, where he opened up about cultural expectations in African marriages compared to Western traditions. Reflecting on Nigerian family dynamics, Davido noted that marriage in his culture often involves not just two individuals, but entire families. “In Nigeria, it’s not just the man and woman,” he said. “You never really leave the family. Even after marriage, parents are still deeply involved, sometimes too involved. It’s very different from America, where couples are more independent.” Davido also shared memories of his traditional wedding, held in Nigeria, which quickly became a national event. “The traditional wedding was like a carnival. It felt like a holiday, the whole world stood still,” he recalled. “Now, we’re planning the white wedding in Miami this August. It’s the continuation of that celebration, a moment for Chioma to get everything she truly deserves.” The 32-year-old hitmaker, known for global anthems like “Fall,” “Unavailable,” and “If,” also touched on the challenges he and Chioma have faced, including the devastating loss of their child and the intense public scrutiny that followed. “Our relationship has been through a lot, from my own mistakes to everything we’ve endured in the public eye,” he admitted. “But Chioma has stood by me. She’s private, strong, and has never once taken to social media to vent. That kind of grace is rare.” Davido praised Chioma for her loyalty and calm presence, adding, “She could have gone on interviews, she could have said things, but she didn’t. That’s why I say she’s the best.” As fans eagerly anticipate the star-studded Miami ceremony, Davido’s upcoming wedding marks not only a celebration of love but also a significant personal milestone in his journey of growth, family, and redemption.

Iyabo Ojo Opens Up About Her Relationship With Paulo Okoye

Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo has made it clear that marriage is not on the horizon in her relationship with music executive Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paulo. During a recent appearance on TVC’s talk show Your View, the actress candidly revealed that she and Paulo are not planning to walk down the aisle, emphasizing that they are both content with the current structure of their relationship. “We don’t want marriage,” she stated firmly, noting that their bond is built on mutual understanding, freedom, and companionship, not traditional expectations. The actress, who is currently preparing for her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s upcoming wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, explained that she and Paulo have tailored their relationship to suit their individual lifestyles. According to her, both she and Paulo are “workaholics” who value personal space and independence. “That Igbo man likes to work,” Iyabo said with a smile. “For me, there are times when I want to be alone, and I just pack my bags and return to my house. We never fight over that because he understands.” Iyabo emphasized that the strength of their partnership lies in their ability to communicate and respect each other’s need for space without pressure or conflict. She described their relationship as one rooted in companionship and enjoyment, not the pursuit of traditional milestones like marriage or having more children. “We’re both parents of two children each from previous relationships,” she added, clarifying that expanding their family is not part of their shared goals. Iyabo Ojo first confirmed her relationship with Paulo in December 2022, celebrating her 45th birthday by posting a heartwarming video collage of their special moments together. The announcement was met with excitement from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, many of whom praised the couple for their openness. A year later, in a light-hearted interview, Paulo jokingly commented on how Iyabo had “invaded his space” and “snatched him” from his former lifestyle, to which Iyabo playfully responded that their relationship was purely about "enjoyment and peace of mind." As conversations around marriage, partnerships, and modern relationships continue to evolve in society, Iyabo Ojo’s revelation adds a refreshing perspective, one that highlights intentional companionship without societal pressure. For the actress, love without marriage is not a compromise, it’s a choice.

Kiekie Shares How Her Mother’s Success Inspires Her

Popular content creator and actress Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, widely known as Kiekie, has shared how her mother’s incredible achievements have shaped her personal and professional journey. In a recent appearance on the ‘What I Said’ podcast, Kiekie opened up about the profound inspiration she draws from her mother, a trailblazing businesswoman in Nigeria’s male-dominated oil industry. Reflecting on her mother’s career, Kiekie humbly stated that despite her own success, she feels she has yet to achieve half of what her mother has accomplished. Kiekie, who hails from a supportive family, credited her mother’s strength of character and resilience in a male-dominated field as a significant source of inspiration. “My mum is a very big businesswoman in the oil space, which, like many other industries, is male-dominated,” Kiekie explained. “At some point, she was the secretary of the entire association, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria. People questioned why a woman would hold such a position.” However, Kiekie revealed that witnessing her mother break barriers in the oil industry gave her the confidence to unapologetically embrace her own voice and aspirations. “If this being is bursting doors like this, I am not even loud enough. I haven’t even achieved half of what she has achieved industry-wise,” Kiekie said, reflecting on her mother’s groundbreaking role in the business world. The actress also shared how her mother’s boldness has encouraged her to be more vocal and visible, despite people often criticizing her for being “too loud” or “always shouting.” Kiekie, known for her dynamic and lively personality, responded with humor and confidence, explaining that she believes she is not loud enough yet to be heard by everyone. “One presenter met me on a red carpet and said, ‘Some people are of the opinion that you are too loud; you shout a lot.’ I told her she needed to be loud enough so I could learn her name,” Kiekie recalled, adding, “You have to be as loud as you can be. I am the one with the voice, I am the one with the dream, I am the one with the vision. I know what I want to achieve.” Kiekie, who boasts over 10 million followers across various social media platforms, used her growing online presence as a measure of her own voice. “Across platforms, I have over 10 million followers, and when you compare that to the population of Nigeria (over 200 million people), do you see that my voice is not loud enough?”* she questioned, reinforcing her belief that one should never limit their visibility or impact. Her words have resonated with many as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, visibility, and speaking up especially for women in industries where their presence may be underrepresented. Kiekie’s openness about her journey and her mother’s influence provides a powerful message for those striving to break through boundaries and make their voices heard.

Iyabo Ojo Defends Use of Skits and Dance in Movie Promotion

Nollywood actress and producer Iyabo Ojo has come out strongly in defense of filmmakers who use social media skits, dance videos, and other unconventional strategies to promote their movies. In a passionate Instagram video, Iyabo addressed the criticism some producers, including Funke Akindele, have faced for embracing viral marketing techniques. According to Iyabo, the concept of promoting films through performances is far from new it's simply evolved with the times. “This is something that has been happening as far back as when I joined the Yoruba film industry,” she said. “The only thing different is just the method in which we do it now.” She recounted her early days in Nollywood, painting a vivid picture of a time when actors and producers would physically promote their films outside venues like the National Theatre, armed with drums, songs, and dances to attract audiences. “We used to stand at the gates, dancing and singing cultural songs to pull people in,” she said, reflecting on the grassroots marketing hustle that defined earlier eras. The actress also recalled how movie promotion once involved touring multiple cities across Nigeria from Ibadan to Osogbo, Akure, Ekiti, and Ilorin to generate interest in upcoming films. Compared to those efforts, she argued, using social media is far less demanding and much more effective in reaching a wider audience. “You can't just release a movie and expect people to magically show up at the cinema,” she said, taking a swipe at those who believe marketing should be minimal or traditional. “In a world where attention spans are shorter than ever, you have to be visible and that means getting creative.” Quoting a powerful analogy, Iyabo added: “If Coca-Cola is still running adverts back-to-back on products we all know, I wonder why I or anyone else can't use any method to create awareness.” The statement quickly became the centerpiece of her argument a call to arms for Nigerian filmmakers to prioritize visibility. She was also quick to clarify that creativity doesn't always have to mean dancing. “Everybody doesn’t have to dance,” she explained. “If that’s your thing, fine. But if not, do drama. That’s why you’re an actor or an artist in the first place.” Her message was clear: whether through comedy skits, choreography, or storytelling promotion is key, and there's no shame in putting in the work to make sure your movie gets noticed. “You must constantly advertise,” she concluded a timely reminder in a digital age where visibility can make or break a project. Iyabo Ojo’s stance adds to a broader conversation in Nollywood about evolving with the times, leveraging social platforms, and embracing creativity as a critical part of the film business.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Shares Timeless Advice on Marriage and Decision Making

Award-winning Nollywood icon and humanitarian, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, has offered heartfelt advice to the younger generation on the importance of involving parents in major life decisions, particularly when it comes to choosing a life partner. In a reflective and wisdom-filled statement, the actress emphasized that while young people may feel confident and independent, their parents often possess life experience and insight that shouldn’t be easily dismissed. "Your parents should have a say in your choice of a life partner," she stated. "Parents know a lot of things you may not consider as a young person when choosing whom to marry. There are so many things they see that you won't see or know." Omotola, who has enjoyed decades of both professional success and marital stability, made it clear that although parents may not always be right, their judgment in critical life decisions is often accurate. "It doesn't mean they're always right," she continued, "but they're right 80–90% of the time, especially when it comes to serious life decisions like the choice of a life partner or even choosing a career." She concluded by encouraging young people to see their parents not as obstacles but as guides whose intentions are rooted in love and a desire to protect. "Your parents want the best for you, accommodate their suggestions when making your plans." The veteran actress’s remarks come at a time when generational tension often surrounds issues of autonomy and tradition. In many cultures, particularly in Africa, the role of parents in the marriage decision-making process remains a strong cultural practice, though one increasingly challenged by modern views on independence and personal choice. Fans and followers have responded positively to Omotola’s message, praising her for her balanced take on honoring parental wisdom without undermining personal agency. Many noted that her perspective reflects the harmony needed between youthful freedom and ancestral guidance in making lasting life decisions. Known for her poise, grace, and commitment to family values, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde continues to use her platform not only to entertain but to inspire and educate, proving yet again why she remains a respected voice in Nigerian society.
