Popular Nollywood
actor, Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki, who got married to Nneoma sometime in 2011, is presently being put under pressure by his family because of their inability to produce kids after over three years of marriage. Rumour has it that Aki’s wife now finds solace in the church, where she prays, morning, afternoon and night asking God for the fruit of the womb. Sources claim Chinedu Ikedieze’s wife, Nneoma was summoned by her husband’s family to know what exactly the problem is.
Nneoma allegedly told the family members point blank that herself and her husband, Chinedu Ikedieze are not ready for making babies because they are focusing more on building their career and future. Chinedu Ikedieze ‘Aki’, who shot to limelight after his role in ‘Aki Na Ukwa,’ seems not to be perturbed about the pressure. However, the family members have set a deadline for Nneoma to conceive or she incurs their wrath.
It would be recalled that Aki and Nneoma had their traditional marriage on Saturday, 26th November, 2011 at Obolo, Mbano in Imo State and white wedding on Friday December 9th, 2011. For Aki’s immense contribution to the growth of the movie industry, in 2010, the Federal Government recognised him and conferred on him national awards of Member of the Federal Republic (MFR), Nneoma, as well as doing fine in her chosen profession as she graduated from the Needlecraft Couture Fashion School in July 2012 and presently runs her own fashion line called Nikiz.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
