Reality TV star and actress Alex Unusual has taken to social media to question the Lagos State Government’s recent crackdown on homeless individuals, expressing concern and confusion over the motive behind the arrests.

In a post posted on her Instagram story on May 6, 2025, the former Big Brother Naija housemate asked for clarification after reports surfaced of homeless people being rounded up, harassed, and detained without explanation or due process.

Can someone please educate me on/ explain to me why Lagos State is arresting homeless people? I’m confused, so before it saddens me or ruins my day, I need to understand.

Clearly distraught, Alex said the situation had already affected her mood for the day, pointing out the unfairness of targeting those without shelter.

In fact, it has already ruined my day. What is the crime? Not having a house?

Jennifer, the wife of late Nollywood actor Junior Pope, has penned a deeply emotional tribute to her husband on what would have been his 45th birthday, May 7, 2025.

In a heartfelt post shared on Instagram on the day, Jennifer recalled one of their earliest romantic exchanges from July 2010, when they first spoke about their birthdays. “You asked my birth date…. I asked for yours and you said the last day in the first week of May. And I said 7th??? You said, ‘Smart,’ with a clap,” she wrote, revisiting the memory.

The video posted contained clips from their time together, with their three baby boys, and an emotional song being played in the background.

It’s May 7th, 2025, and I’m not celebrating you with my different birthday surprises (I doubt I missed any), not with candles and cakes, but with tears and memories and a heart that still beats in rhythm with yours.

Afrobeats superstar Davido has caused a stir on social media after sharing a story involving football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, an invitation to watch a match at Old Trafford, and a ruined evening that he still blames on Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

On May 6, 2025, the singer narrated the alleged incident whereby the star footballer invited him to watch the said match. According to him, Ronaldo had made full plans for the day, including dinner, a party, and a chance to hang out, but the team’s loss that evening ruined everything.

Football ehn fit give person BP … I remember when CR7 personally invite me come watch match for Old trafford then couple years ago … He don book dinner ALL! Party chillin etc …. Nah so dem go lose match .. BABA VEX GO HOUSE .. since that day I still never forgive Maguire 😂😂

The post immediately went viral, drawing thousands of reactions from fans who found the story both hilarious and fake.  While some simply enjoyed the humor, many others questioned the authenticity of the story, accusing Davido of exaggeration and chasing clout. Many social media users did not believe that Ronaldo invited Davido out, and called him out for ‘lying.’

See some reactions below:

Lmao I swear football mad gan. Samuel Okwaraji bin invite me come watch Semi Final o. Before I board flight, na so weyrey kpai for pitch

I can never forget when Messi sent an invite to the US. They lost with Suarez. I will never forgive Cincinanti FC
