Following the matrimonial mess involving Senator Ned Nwoko and Reginal Daniels that has pushed out different narratives from the couples in the last three days on social media, Reginal’s father has finally opened up.

Regina had accused her husband, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, of domestic violence in a video making the rounds, an allegation he already countered.

According to a Facebook post quoting Jude Ojegwu, Reginal Daniels’ father, saying:

“Regina and her mother, Rita Daniels called an ēnēmy of progress and wished me Dēãth when I told her not to mãrry Ned Nwoko.” _ Regina Daniels’ father, JUDE OJEGWU reveals

Popular skit maker Samuel Bankole, widely known as Samuel Banks, is facing a difficult time after losing his newly purchased iPhone 17 Pro Max at a concert.

Just days before the incident, the content creator who recently celebrated buying a new home had been actively promoting the Luli Concert organised by the Celestial Church of Christ, expressing excitement about the event and what attendees could look forward to.

In a promotional video for the concert, which took place on Friday at Tafawa Balewa Square, Samuel was seen dressed in his signature white garment.

However, a viral clip circulating online shows a distressed Samuel Banks searching for his missing phone alongside his partner and several others.

The comedian was seen pacing anxiously while discussing the situation with a man nearby, as his partner stood by looking visibly concerned.

Onlookers could be seen attempting to call his number in hopes of locating the device, but their efforts appeared unsuccessful.

This isn’t the first time a celebrity has suffered such a loss.

The 23-year-old winner, whose real name is Opeyemi Ayanwale, was presented with a cash prize of N80 million and a brand-new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) at a ceremony on Tuesday.

Her victory, secured by polling the highest votes during Sunday’s finale, cements her place in the show’s history.

The show introduced 29 housemates in total, starting with the females on July 26 and the males on July 27.

After weeks of competition, the finale featured nine finalists: Imisi, Koyin, Dede, Mensan, Sultana, Jason Jae, Kola, Kaybobo, and Isabella.

Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has recently achieved a significant legal victory as a Lagos High Court awarded her ₦20 million in damages.

This ruling comes after she filed a lawsuit against a media platform for publishing false claims about her dating Senator Dino Melaye. The court’s decision highlights the importance of accountability in media reporting.

This case, filed under suit number LD/17781MFHR/2024, centered on an article published in January 2023 titled “Six Popular Nigerian Actresses Who Have Been Accused of Dating Dino Melaye.” In her claim, Adunni Ade contended that the report painted her in a misleading and offensive light, infringing her constitutional right to privacy under Section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution as well as under the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

In defending itself, the online platform and its reporter argued that Adunni Ade had posted personal photos publicly on social media and that she delayed bringing the suit. However, Justice Ibironke Harrison rejected those arguments. The court held that the misuse of a person’s name or image does not require that data be voluntarily submitted by the claimant, and that a misleading portrayal (false light) is actionable in Nigerian law.

When judgment was delivered on June 24, 2025, the court ordered removal of her name and image from the contentious article and awarded her general damages of ₦20 million.

Legal analysts describe this ruling as landmark. The recognition of a “false light” claim marks a significant development for privacy and defamation law in Nigeria.

In months prior, Adunni Ade had threatened legal action over other fabricated stories and misquoted statements circulated online.

In a society where many Christians criticize polygamy, it’s interesting to observe that some pastors have been known to engage in the practice themselves.

In contrast, Muslims typically embrace the idea of having two or more wives as an essential element of their faith. This cultural difference is also reflected among Nigeria’s wealthiest individuals, particularly billionaires, who often have multiple wives.

Billionaire businessman Jim Brown shocked Nigerians once again by marrying his 19th wife, Erica, with all his other wives in attendance. His growing family raises big questions about culture, wealth, and polygamy in Nigeria.

Delta State billionaire Jim Brown has sparked a conversation among many Nigerians on social media following the news of his wedding to his 19th wife, Erica. The development elicited varied reactions from netizens, which ranged from shock to laughter and curiosity.

Brown, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GimBrown Marine Security Oil and Gas Limited, is not the first wealthy Nigerian to have as many wives. Still, his story has reignited debate and conversations about polygamy in Africa’s biggest country.

While some Nigerians are of the opinion that marrying multiple wives is unacceptable and an excessive indulgence, others view it as an expression of cultural tradition.

However, one question keeps lingering in this writer’s mind: since Hilda Baci broke the first Guinness record two years ago and the most recent record – cooking the biggest pot of Nigerian-style jollof rice- some Nigerians have been infected with the ‘Guinness record-breaking’ fever.

Could it be that Jim Brown has been infected and intends to build one of Nigeria’s largest family empires? Let’s dive in, shall we?

For centuries, men in traditional and religious settings married multiple wives, which means polygamy isn’t an alien concept or unusual in many parts of Nigeria. Royalties, dignitaries, and wealthy men often engaged in marrying multiple wives, which is often seen as a symbol of influence, power, and legacy.

However, Jim Brown’s case of marrying 19 wives (with each marriage celebrated publicly) is largely viewed as less a personal choice and more a deliberate building of a family legacy.

Additionally, with wealth and influence on his side, Jim Brown may be following the same path as kings and traditional rulers in the past, expanding his family line, strengthening alliances, and securing loyalty.

Every woman the billionaire marries means more children, and more children mean a wider family tree, more heirs to carry his name, and ultimately, more influence in business, politics, and society at large.

Based on social media posts and reports circulating on the internet, his other 18 wives attended his wedding to Erica, which suggests some level of unity, acceptance, and togetherness within the home.

Though critics argue that managing such a household might be chaotic, others believe that if the household is carefully structured with roles, responsibilities and rights equally shared among the wives, the home will thrive. In line with this, Jim Brown may not just be building a family; he may be building a small community of his own.

With 19 wives and counting, billionaire Jim Brown is not just making headlines; he may be creating one of Nigeria’s most popular and talked-about family empires to be recorded in Nigerian history.

Social media reactions
