We Were Never Married, Nkechi Blessing Further Castigates Falegan
Popular actress, Nkechi Blessing, has said she was never married to Opeyemi Falegan. In a series of outbursts on social media, the actress accused him of being lazy and not being able to take care of himself. This was even as Falegan made several accusations of his own.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Blessing said, “I was never married to Falegan. We just had a relationship that I thought was a beautiful one that needed not to be defined by a wedding. However, since it did not work, everybody just moved ahead.”
On what caused their break up, she said, “Nothing caused it. It did not just work. We just went our separate ways. It was a fact that I was the one taking care of him. Everyone that lives in London knows that.”
However, many have lambasted the actress for the ongoing messy social media drama, considering she had said just weeks ago that she would not drag her partner on social media if the relationship ended. In the wake of the divorce between dancer, Korra Obidi, and her husband, Justin Dean, Blessing wrote on social media, “I have said this before and I will say it again. I will show you fun memories of my relationship and if that relationship goes south, I will take my ‘L’ in peace and move on.
“I resist the urge to shalaye (explain) because I cannot come and be dragging someone who I once used sweet words to praise on this app. Let’s carry our madness to WhatsApp.”
Meanwhile, Falegan has apolgised for his outbursts. In a video posted on Instagram on Thursday, he said, “I want to apologise for my outburst yesterday. I want to tell everybody that I will be leaving social media till further notice. When love comes, it is always like a dream but when it goes, it is like a nightmare.”
In an Instagram Live session with cross dresser, James Brown, and two other participants, the actress announced that she was presently dating a 60-year-old man. She said, “I am dating a 60-year-old man now and he gives me so much peace. He does not have time for Instagram. I am the one sharing all these scandals to him.”
Social Media activist, Martins Ortse also known as VeryDarkMan, on Monday alleged that popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has been arrested by security authorities.
VeryDarkMan alleged that Bobrisky was arrested at the Seme border while attempting to escape to Benin Republic to evade the House of Representatives investigative hearing.
In a video on his Instagram page, VDM as he is referred to said: “Bobrisky has been arrested this morning at Seme border while trying to enter BENIN REPUBLIC to escape the current investigation by the house of reps, he is allegedly being held by the Nigeria immigration.”
Recently, VDM released an audio recording of Bobrisky claiming to have allegedly bribed EFCC officials with the sum of N15 million.
During his conversation, Bobrisky also claimed not to have spent his six-month jail term in Kirikiri prison due to the influence of his godfather.
The revelation led to an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives but Bobrisky failed to appear before the committee, claiming to be sick.

Nigeria’s Afrobeat music star and multiple award-winner, Rema, will be featured this week on African Voices Changemakers, CNN International’s magazine programme, sponsored by telecommunications company, Globacom.
Born Divine Ikubor, the 24-year-old artiste from Edo State, discovered his passion for music as a church chorister and a rapper who entertained his peers in his secondary school, Ighile Group of Schools in Edo State.
Rema came into limelight after posting a viral freestyle on Instagram to D’Prince’s song “Gucci Gang”. Wowed by his rare talent, D’Prince flew him to Lagos and offered him a record deal with Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records owned by music executive and producer Don Jazzy. His 2019 hit “Dumebi” was the first fruit of the contract.
His international breakthrough happened in 2022 with his single “Calm Down”, which led to a remix with American singer Selena Gomez. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and first on Billboard Afrobeats Songs chart for a record-setting 58 weeks.
His talents have earned him several awards including the MTV Video Music Award for Best Afrobeats Video and the Billboard Music Award for Top Afrobeats Songs.
He was recognised for achieving 1 billion streams worldwide during his London concert on November 7, 2022 and he also performed at the Ballon d’Or ceremony held at the Theatre du Châtelet in Paris, France on October 30, 2023.
