Nigerian content creator GehGeh has spoken about the recent controversy involving Yul Edochie and Judy Austin, following claims made by Judy Austin’s ex-husband.
The story centers around claims that Yul takes care of Judy’s children from her former marriage.
GehGeh then shared his thoughts on the statement “I listened to Judy Austin’s side of the story, and she said the children she brought from her previous marriage are now your responsibility. If that thing is true, bro, you go cry o.”
“Don’t carry another man’s child responsibility when he is still alive. Don’t try it. The same thing the previous man passed through, you can still pass through it.”
Nigerian singer Davido has reacted to backlash after he drew attention to the happenings and insecurity in Nigeria.
Hausa singer Dauda Kahutu Rarara shared his thoughts on Davido’s actions and claimed that the singer was insensitive to the issue.
In response, Davido stated “Damn it, every Nigerian should not stay silent about the insecurity plaguing the nation, nor should they prevent others from voicing their concerns openly.”
Nigerian actress Dayo Amusa has spoken out against Peter Obi, questioning his motives and claiming that while he criticizes the government, he keeps his own plans for the country hidden.
The actress reacted to a recent interview Peter Obi gave and stated that he was keeping his plans private.
“It’s very obvious you don’t want people to vote for you; that is why you want to keep your plans to your chest. It’s not a secret affair. We want to know what you’re going to do differently. I watched the podcast with Rufai; it wasn’t inspiring!”
