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.

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.’

You dey find way to tell us since say you dey roll with CR7 one-on-one , you come form story wey no happen. Why you dey do like this idolo?

Nigerian singer-songwriter Simi has opened up about how she managed to avoid heartbreak in her relationships before she got married to Adekunle Gold.

In a recent interview with media personality VJ Adams, the Duduke singer revealed that while she has experienced emotional pain in the past, she has never truly been heartbroken in a relationship.

She explained, “I don’t think I’ve ever been heartbroken, but I’ve been hurt before. I don’t have any memory of being heartbroken before but I’ve probably broken someone’s heart though.”

Simi explained that she would rather walk away from situations that don’t favour her, rather than running the risk of being being pitied

 I’m the type of person who used to say that I never wanted someone to date me to that I don’t feel bad or because they pity me. Let me feel bad, then I’d get over it. It’s the same way I used to operate; if I felt like something wasn’t working, I’d walk away from it.

I’ve not been heartbroken before because if I feel like something isn’t good for me, the way my brain is wired is to walk away from it. 

She explained that her tactic also works with friendships and anyone else she loves or cares for, stressing that anyone can hurt others.

This isn’t even only for relationships. If I have friends that make me feel unsafe, I’m ready to cut it off because I have anxiety. 

This is why I say I don’t remember ever being heartbroken before but I’ve been hurt. When you love people there’s always the capacity for them to hurt you
