Nigerian On-air personality, Tolu Oniru, better known by her media name, Toolz has raised speculations about the status of her marriage following her new post and change of name on her Instagram page. In a now-deleted post, the radio personality took to her Instagram stories to write: “Those that fly solo have the strongest wings.” After this post, her husband’s name was removed from her Instagram Bio ow displaying only her media name.

Veteran Nollywood actress Hilda Dokunbo has reacted to the appointment of Senator Elisha Abbo as a patron of the Actor’s Guild of Nigeria (AGN). Recall that Senator Abbo who represents the Adamawa North Senatorial District had been seen in a CCTV footage assaulting a female staff of a sex toy shop in Abuja. Dokubo described the appointment of Abbo as “disgusting” and a mockery of every positive value that the guild stands for. Dokubo is not the only one who shares this sentiment. Kate Henshaw made it known that she reached out to the president of the guild but has so far not gotten a response.

When Cardi B posted a short video explaining her fears of Coronavirus (COVID-19) to her 60 million Instagram followers, little did she know that she’d make the new anthem. “Let me tell y’all something, I ain’t even gonna front…Coronavirus! Coronavirus! I’m telling you, [expletive] is real! [Expletive] is gettin’ real!” A few days later, this was remixed by a Brooklyn D.J. and producer, DJ iMarkkeyz, and has now become a hit. With the remix topping charts on several hip-hop charts, it is now affirmed that everything Cardi does turn to gold.
