Gospel singer, Akinade laments celebrity failed marriages.
IT is not a gainsaying that the Nigeria Entertainment scene reign supreme and most of these celebrities are always identified as semi-god. They have made their way into the hearts of the people who dream to be like them, but there is one thing their fans would never pray for, which is failed marriages and heartbreaks.
The growing list of failed marriages in the Nigeria Entertainment Industry calls for redress as this development continue to increase, some of them have remained eligible spinsters and Bachelors, but this ugly act is more rampant among the female celebrities that suppose to be a good example to house wives, some of who pride them as role models. The list of celebrities in this category is endless and inexhaustible.
Mega Icon Magazine took up a gospel singer who has recorded tremendous success in her career, Evangelist Rachael Olubukola Akinade popularly known as “Senwele Jesu” on this ugly development.
Akinade expressed her dissatisfaction on this social malady which has turned to a social crisis especially among female Artistes.
In an encounter with Mega Icon Magazine, she said “the Bible even confirmed it that whoever find a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord, so being a celebrity or star does not give the chance or permission to be the lord over our husbands. The Lord has made our Men our heads, no matter whom we are as a celebrity or icon, we need to see our husbands as our heads, so inability to submit to their orders, accord them respect and see them as our tin god is one of the causes of these failed marriages”, she stated confidently.
The gospel music icon further revealed that most of these female celebrities see themselves on top of the World, believing that, they have attained the peak and above control.
“If their husband says, this is how I want it to be, they find it difficult to bend to their hubby’s wish and there is no man, no matter how gentle he is, if a woman tries to put on her ego, men would definitely reacts”, she reiterated.
Stressing further, she counseled that men must also honour their wives as respect is reciprocal, they should also see the female folks as a weaker vessels and handle them with great care while the celebrities should also pay back these kind gestures.
Evangelist Akinade did not fail to appeal to celebrities to forget about their stardom, fame and whom they are when it comes to their homes, because without having a good home, even if, they progress in their careers, the respect would not be there.
While advising them not to compete but be submissive to their hubbies at least for a moment and make their opinion known in a polite way, since there is no perfect marriage, it is full of ups and downs, so we need to manage each other, she advised.

In a tragic turn of events, the iconic Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has reportedly passed away.
A close source within the family confirmed the development, indicating that the beloved entertainer breathed his last on Saturday afternoon at Evercare Hospital, Lekki, where he had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Mr Ibu, celebrated for his exceptional comedic talent, had faced health challenges in the past year. In a noteworthy struggle, he underwent surgery to amputate one of his legs, a procedure necessitated by undisclosed health issues.
Throughout this period, the actor had openly sought support and prayers from his numerous fans and well-wishers.
The Nigerian entertainment industry mourns the loss of a true megastar, and fans worldwide express their condolences for the passing of a beloved figure who brought laughter and joy to countless lives through his memorable performances. The legacy of Mr Ibu, marked by his unique style and infectious humor, will undoubtedly endure in the hearts of fans and the annals of Nollywood history.
In a recent development surrounding the controversial death of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, lawyers representing Mr. Joshua Aloba, the bereaved father, have taken a significant step. The legal team, led by Emmanuel Oroko, sent a letter dated Jan. 15th, 2024, to the Coroner overseeing the inquiry into the artist’s demise.
The letter urged the Coroner to summon Ayobami Fisayo (known as Spending), Boluwatife Adeyemo (Darosha), and Ibrahim Owodunni (Prime Boy) to provide testimonies and eyewitness accounts regarding the events leading to Mohbad’s death on Sept. 12, 2023.
The lawyers asserted that the insights from these three individuals would contribute essential factual evidence, shedding more light on the perceived unnatural and suspicious circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
“Our research for instance has shown that there were incidents on the 3rd Mainland Bridge at about 2.30 am (Sunday, September 10, 2023, that the appropriate witnesses did not mention and which no one has related at the Coroner Inquest and in our opinion would have given away the circumstantial event that led to the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba.
“In furtherance to the above, we believe that there were also events on 12 September 2023 at the deceased residential premises, which were not mentioned by the appropriate witnesses, and such information would have given a better insight into the real cause of the death of the deceased, as recent events have shown that some probable witnesses have been suborned.
“These key witnesses include the driver of the car that drove the deceased, his wife, his brother and the witnesses proposed to this honourable coroner Inquest court.
“Furthermore, we believe that the situation of the CCTV at the deceased residential premises not functional at the time the deceased and others came home may not be true”, the letter partly read.
The Afrobeats singer, based in Ikorodu, departed on Sept 12, 2023, at 27.
In a letter dated Sept 18th, 2023, addressed to Justice Mojisola Dada, Chief Coroner of the High Court of Lagos State, the legal firm Falana & Falana Chambers formally requested a coroner’s inquest into the artist’s passing.
Subsequent to the letter, preliminary inquiries into Mohbad’s demise commenced on Friday, Sept 29, 2023, at the Magistrate court in Ikorodu, Lagos.
Thus far, two police officers—ASP Oderinde-Gafar Ajibola and Muhammad Yusuf, both affiliated with the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba—have testified before the coroner, presenting the police’s findings on the matter.
Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, the Coroner, has also heard the testimony of Mohbad’s Disc Jockey (DJ), Ajisegiri Ayobami, who asserted his presence with the artist on the day of his passing.
