Peter Okoye, one half of the defunct music duo Psquare, has broken his silence following claims by a lawyer suggesting his statement to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was riddled with lies. In a fiery Instagram post, Peter accused the group’s publicist of deliberately painting him as dishonest, reigniting tensions with his estranged brothers.
Insisting on his integrity, Peter declared, “I am not May D or Cynthia Morgan; I am Peter Okoye, the one and only—the rock/okwute of the Okoyes. The truth shall surely prevail.” He slammed his brothers, insinuating that they were guilty of financial impropriety, adding, “Una thief abi una no thief?”
Peter drew parallels between his experience and the tragic saga of late singer Mohbad, stating he will no longer play the “bigger person” in family feuds. “After watching everything about Mohbad’s death and how it played out, I decided I would never again act as the mature one. Love me or hate me, I will speak my truth,” he wrote.
He also revealed that he felt used during the Psquare reunion in November 2021, stressing that the full details will be revealed in court. The dispute, believed to center around royalties and financial manipulation, has now moved into legal territory, with Peter making it clear he’s ready for the battle ahead.
Continuing, A Nigerian lady identified as Silva is capturing hearts on social media after marrying the man who once “stole” her phone number from her CV. The lady, a nail technician, posted a wedding photo shoot video via her TikTok account @nailsbysimsilva, sharing a romantic montage of their union.
Dressed in a white gown and showing off her wedding ring, Silva captioned the video: “Officially hitched to the man who stole my number from my CV.” The revelation stunned many online, sparking playful debates about the unconventional start to their love story.
While some celebrated the union as a sign of destiny, others raised ethical concerns. Regardless, the couple appeared blissfully in love, proving that love stories can blossom from the most unexpected beginnings.
In another development, Controversial Nigerian socialite and self-proclaimed Barbie, Bobrisky, has officially shed his birth name. The crossdresser, born Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, announced a complete name change to “Afolashade Amope Okuneye.”
Taking to social media, he posted, “My new name is Afolashade Amope Okuneye,” prompting a flurry of reactions online. The announcement is the latest in Bobrisky’s ongoing personal transformation, as he continues to embrace his feminine identity publicly. The move comes amid renewed scrutiny from fans and critics alike, especially after his recent arrest and legal drama.
Meanwhile, Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has shared intimate details about his past, admitting to a brief period of womanizing before his marriage. Speaking on With Chude, the actor reflected on a time when he dated multiple women, describing it as a “learning process.”
He clarified that while it was not a prolonged phase, he now advises young men against such behavior. “It may seem cool to be a player, but that lifestyle is hard to quit. You can’t build a marriage on habits you failed to correct while single,” he warned.
Etim-Effiong emphasized that the tendency to jump from one relationship to another can damage future commitments. “If you never learned how to stick with one person, that behavior won’t vanish just because you got married,” he said, adding that fulfilment doesn’t always lie in the lifestyle that seems glamorous on paper.
Furthermore, Newlyweds Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian musician husband, Juma Jux, are enjoying a dreamy honeymoon in Zanzibar. After a headline-making wedding, the couple shared clips of their luxurious beachfront getaway, complete with elegant decor and sweeping ocean views.
The honeymoon updates triggered excited reactions online. While many fans swooned over the romantic atmosphere, others found humor in the apparent presence of a cameraman during the intimate trip. “So na like this camera go dey follow them everywhere?” one fan joked.
Despite mixed opinions, the couple appeared undeterred, embracing the spotlight as they documented their love journey for all to see.
Conclusively, Popular online activist Verydarkman has renewed his criticism of Salvation Ministries’ founder, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, following the pastor’s recent threats to arrest anyone who criticizes him online. In a sharp response, Verydarkman accused the preacher of trying to silence dissent because he allegedly “says a lot of nonsense.”
“I took my time to go through his preaching,” he said in a video. “And I now understand why he hates criticism—it’s because he says things that don’t add up.”
This feud comes amid broader conversations around religious accountability and freedom of expression in Nigeria, with Verydarkman positioning himself as an advocate for transparency and free speech in the face of religious authority.
