Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, advised farmers to defend themselves against the killer Fulani herdsmen as she is puzzled that some set of people would take their cattle to another man’s land to graze only for them to kill the owner of the farm.
The Veteran actress who gave the advice in a recent interview expressed sadness with the activities of the notorious herdsmen in Nigeria, saying the people will have to defend themselves.
She reiterated the need for famers to prepare for self- defence. “The people would have to defend oneself I know it is crazy, but one should be able to defend one selves, our family and children”, she declared.
“Whenever I read about what is happening in Nigeria, it breaks my heart, I grew up seeing cattle where they had to be not that you have to create special place for them, you can create ranches in the North where they are predominant, I don’t see why you need to invade people’s farms and you kill the owners just because you want your cattle to eat. Since when do we have animals being more important than human beings”, she said.
Kate Henshaw further stated that it was a bad idea for government to even consider granting amnesty for Boko Haram members. She also spoke on Leah Sharibu, the Christian Dapchi School Girl who is still in captivity of the terror sect. She said: “I don’t think the Federal Government should grant amnesty to members of Boko Haram, have they paid penance for the wrongs they have done are they repentant? They have not even been punished for what they have done”.
“Also why is it that it is a Christian girl that was left behind? I would not like to go with something that would be divisive, she is a young girl and a human being”, she said.
She stressed that “it is very sad that other kidnapped Dapchi children have been released except one. The government should have pulled out all the stops to get that one last girl out to make sure that their release was wholesome, because you cannot leave any one behind. All citizens of this country deserve to move around freely without fear of molestation”.

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has tackled Yul Edochie over comments he made about his ex-wife, May.

The actress questioned why Yul brought up claims about their marriage but refused to explain further.

Her sharp response has added another twist to the long-running conversation around the Edochie family.

The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
