According to her, having an ideal partner is never enough to make a happy marriage, as the key remains being happy with yourself first. She wrote;

“What is the key to HAPPY MARRIAGE? Y’all think it’s about finding an “ideal” partner that will save u,take care of you and make you happy? Well no. It will NEVER BE ENOUGH. The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else . You can’t give what you don’t have right? And you can’t expect from other human being what you CANT give yourself. No one can save you but the super human you see in the mirror so stop thinking that your happiness is out there in some future tense,laying in order person’s hand. All the magic begins in YOU! Yes , YOU ARE THAT POWERFUL !”

‘Eedris saved your life when cult boys wanted to kill you!’- Rafioso slams Timaya

Nigerian artiste and show promoter, Rafioso, has slammed Timaya over his statement that Eedris Abdulkareem is a dirty looking  igbo smoker who wasn’t nice to a lot of people not nice to a lot of people during his reigning days.


You recall, in an Instagram video rant last week, Timaya lashed out at Eedris Abdulkareen after Eedris went on Goldmyne TV to express his disappointment with the quality of music Timaya was making.



A pained Timaya didn’t take the criticism well so he lashed out at Eedris saying Eedris is a dirty looking igbo smoker that should be ashamed of himself. According to Timaya, Eedris was not nice to a lot of people, including his former colleague, Rafioso.
Timaya ranted:
“I was your backup artiste and you were not even appreciative. Did you even know my name? You regarded me like a nobody…I paid my transport to your shows because I was learning. You never paid me…How many people don blow through you? How many people have you helped? Where is them Rafioso, all those people wey dey with you?,” Timaya spat in his scathing Instagram video.
Well, Rafioso in an interview with Punch says Timaya painted an untrue version of Eedris and recounted the one time Eedris saved Timaya’s life from cult boys. Here’s what he told Punch:
“There was a time we went for a show at Ogun State University. I was already asleep in my room during the show but I learnt that Timaya insisted that he wanted to perform last after Eedris was done with his performance.


The show promoters were not comfortable with the arrangement because Eedris was his boss. Eedris agreed and when he went on stage, the tempo was very high but when it was Timaya’s turn to perform, they were not feeling him anymore.


The people began to insult him and Timaya insulted them back. When he came down from the stage, the cult boys in the school followed him because they wanted to beat him up. The next thing I heard on my door was a loud bang, it was Eedris at my door shouting that I should wake up because the boys wanted to kill Timaya.


We went to where Timaya was and brought him to my room where he slept that night. You can ask Timaya or the show promoter, Offshore, he would tell you the truth. Spydaman was at the show among other artistes. The cult boys began to look for Timaya for insulting them but we hid him in our room. Early in the morning, we had to move out.


“So when I saw what Timaya posted about Eedris, I felt it was like an insult. I don’t know why he called my name and said that I am nowhere to be found. You don’t say that.


He should speak for himself and not for me. I am doing very well. I am an artiste and a show promoter; I also have other businesses I am into. I have houses and tenants. I don’t understand why Timaya mentioned my name. I was with Eedris for more than 16 years and he helped me. He showed me love just like he did to everybody.


“When I was Eedris’ back-up singer, he treated me in a very lovely manner. As a back-up artiste, it was not as if Eedris called me or Timaya, we were trying to be famous, so we had to go and meet him. We were serving him.


To be honest, Eedris can cut his arm and leg just to help someone. Whenever they gave him money, there was a boutique where he normally bought clothes; he would call the owner of the shop to bring costumes. We would all pick costumes and Eedris would be the one to pay for them.


After everything, he would still give us money. Timaya was not based in Lagos at the time, he was in Port-Harcourt and he only came down to Lagos anytime he heard we had a show. Whenever we had a show, we had a stand-by bus that conveyed us to the venue and back home but since Timaya was coming from Port-Harcourt, we could not wait for him so he had to come and meet us at the venue of the event. Eedris treated all of us fine.


“The problem is that when Timaya came, he did not come to Eedris as a singer but as a dancer. He is a very good dancer.


Eedris could be harsh when he wants to advise you so he advised us on how to explore our different talents. As for me, I was into acting before I got in contact with Eedris, I was in Kiddies Vision 101 with Denrele. When I met Eedris, he advised me that I could sing because I have a good voice. He put me through and he encouraged me.”


“When I watched Timaya’s video and saw that he said Eedris did not treat him right, I did not understand what he meant.
When I first joined the crew, I did not get to see Eedris all the time. He was always inside so we had to relate with his manager. He was not someone you could walk up to like that because there was protocol.


The compound was very big so whenever we got to his place, we would sit under a tree and we ate whatever we wanted to eat because they would bring food for us. Timaya was not the only one with Eedris, there were so many people with him.

I remember Eedris told Timaya then that he should stop singing and try to sing a song about his dialect or where he is from. I sincerely apologise on behalf of Eedris to the likes of Tuface, D’banj, Davido, Mr. Eazi and every other person he insulted except Timaya.”

Tagbo passed out after drinking 10 tequila shots – Family friend

During the week, Tagbo Umeike, one of singer Davido’s friends, died and Davido was accused of having a hand in Tagbo’s death.


While Nollywood actress Caroline Danjuma alleged she heard Tagbo was on a drinking spree with Davido and his friends and accused Davido of negligence, another family friend of Tagbo Umeike has given Punch’s Saturday Beats his version of the story.


According to the family friend, Damilola Usman, who spoke to Saturday Beats from Tagbo’s parents’ house on Wednesday, Tagbo passed out after taking shots of tequila.

He said:

“Tagbo’s family is not ready to give out information now but once they are, we would contact you because the case is still at the police station and the investigation is still on-going.


However, what happened was that we went to a joint together called the Shisha Room. In the Shisha Room, we had a competition of Tequila shot. Each person had to take 10 shots of Tequila and after the competition, Tagbo passed out.


Nobody took him to the hospital because everybody was high already. We did not know that it was something serious.


“I learnt they went to the beach later and I think he passed out at the beach again. His friends that accompanied him to the beach did not attend to him on time but eventually when they suspected that there was something wrong, they allegedly dropped him in front of the hospital with his car.” he said.


Meanwhile, Caroline Danjuma said she learnt there was a bet of N200, 000 and that late Tagbo, who was her boyfriend, drank 50 shots of tequila.


“I decided to call my neighbour who was also Tagbo’s friend and he said that there was a bet of N200, 000 and that Tagbo drank about 50 shots of tequila but I said that cannot be true. Tagbo cannot drink even a glass of Hennessey because he had a light brain like me.


So a guy who couldn’t drink this much couldn’t finish 50 shots of tequila. Tagbo did not need N200, 000 to do that. He came from a very wealthy background so he didn’t need that kind of bet; he was not hungry for that. I was shattered to hear such news.


“Meanwhile, someone who rented my bar told me he was with Davido at Shisha Bar on Monday and then I asked him randomly, “Oh then, you must know Tagbo”. The guy confirmed that he met Tagbo and that was when he knew they were birthday mates and he also said they had fun and went from there to DNA to party on Lagos Island.
“I contacted another person who (allegedly) remembered seeing Davido and Tagbo. According to what the person said, Tagbo drank the tequila and got intoxicated,” she said.


Davido has denied his involvement in the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike ever since the news broke. Posting via his Instagram account, Davido wrote:

“I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of my friend Tagbo. First and foremost, my sincere condolences and prayers are with his family at this time. I’ve been in the same position before, multiple times and also of recent.

But it is also disappointing that false information and complete lies have been put out there using my name, as usual. Out of total respect for Tagbo and his family, I will not discuss this matter further for now. Rest in peace Tagbo.
David Adeleke.”

‘I can never deprive my wife of sex’ – Oritsefemi advises Nigerians

Self acclaimed musical Taliban, Oritsefemi has announced in a new interview that he can never deprive his wife of sex and advised other married Nigerian men to emulate him.



Talking about his marriage during a chat with Saturday Beats, the singer said it always upsets him when he hears that lack of sex leads to the failure of some marriages in Nigeria. Using himself as an example, Oritsefemi said:


“Marriage is something that you have to be very diplomatic about. You have to be very careful and know what you are doing because it has its ups and downs. No marriage is perfect.



Some people think that marriage is all about money but it is not. It takes God and the couple to understand each other. Some people talk about cheating in marriage and that is why I sang in my song, ‘Igbeyawo,’ that women should not starve their husband of sex.



If you do that, it would bring problems in your home. I don’t want lack of sex to be a problem in my marriage. Any time my wife wants to have sex, I would always give it to her, at any time.



“Sex should not be the problem. Money could cause problems but don’t let sex be the problem. Get close to your wife and try to understand when she needs it.



As a wife, you also need to know when your husband needs to have sex. It pains me when I hear that lack of sex is the cause of some people’s marital crisis. I would rather hear a woman say that she wants her husband to work harder.”



About why he kept his court wedding to himself, Oritsefemi told Saturday Beats that it was because he was involved in a lot of controversies at that time, and that his white wedding which is coming up in November would be an amazing experience.



“I kept my court wedding under wraps because I was in a lot of controversies during that period and I was also trying to work on my management. I was working on my brand image as well.



My wife is a very private person and if we had made it public, it would have worked against us because sometimes when you share information like this, anything can happen. I tried as much as possible to keep it to myself especially because my wife loves her privacy.



It was my idea to make it private and when I spoke to my wife about it, she agreed. At the end of the day, the information still leaked. I am still going to have an elaborate white wedding in Nigeria on November 25.
I could have decided to do the wedding outside Nigeria but I am a man of the people. When I got to the event centre, I told them that I would be expecting at least 2,000 people but they told me that they believe that at least 3,000 people would be at the wedding, so they volunteered to cater for the other 1,000 people that may come for the wedding free of charge.




My wedding is going to be amazing and it would be strictly by invitation. I already have a song about wedding and people would want me to perform on my wedding day but I would do something different,” he said.



The Mr. Gomina singer who already has two children from two women also explained how his wife has been able to unite the family.



“There is one great thing I love about my wife, she is very respectful. If you respect people, they would return the same gesture. I love her for the fact that she has the ability to unite my family.



Whenever she is talking to my baby mamas, she respects them and they respect her in return. She takes care of my two children as if they are hers. She takes them to school and even represents them if need be.

She advises them and she is so supportive. She is hard working. Although she has her Master’s degree from a school in London, she is also full of ideas. She is someone I can talk to about some business ideas and she would listen and understand,” he said.
