Patrick Doyle shows grace, cheers Ireti’s rising star
Patrick Doyle just shared how he feels about his ex-wife, Ireti, keeping his last name after their split, and the veteran actor seems pretty chill about the whole situation. The broadcaster told a show that he would rather stay quiet than trash-talk someone he used to be married to, which is surprisingly mature for celebrity drama.

Mercy Eke gets candid, says single moms set their terms
The Big Brother Naija winner says becoming a mom outside marriage wouldn't mess up her life because society only judges broke single mothers.

Dr Nwachie grows Skinetics, Abuja glows with new clinic
A Nigerian dermatologist is opening another location of his beauty business in Abuja after clients kept asking for it. Dr Bruce Nwachie runs Skinetics clinics with his brother and partners, and the guy has been working in skincare for almost four decades, while the Lagos spot has been operating for a decade. The doctor launched an academy to train beauticians properly because he says unqualified people have wrecked the industry with sketchy practices. His operation started as Skin Essence in the United States back in the 90s, before the Nigerian venture kicked off years later. The clinic focuses heavily on anti-aging treatments, which apparently drives most of the customer demand across the country.

Liquorose sets sights on music, reveals hidden side
Liquorose from Big Brother Naija says she was grinding in recording studios before the reality show happened, and music still calls to her despite finding success as an actress. The dancer revealed that performing on camera feels safe because she can keep doing it until her 70s or 80s, but there's a whole musical side that fans haven't experienced yet. She mentioned writing poetry and working with professional writers while acknowledging her vocals won't match Beyoncé's level. The entertainer claims her tracks will have emotional depth beyond just club bangers, and she can handle dancehall or rap because of her poetry background. Her music career got put on hold when acting became the comfortable path forward, but the desire to drop...

Sally Mann spills on Daddy Lumba, the legend’s image takes a hit
A media critic went off about Daddy Lumba and claimed the late highlife star was the worst person she had ever dealt with. Sally Mann told a radio station that the musician hid behind his fame to avoid getting called out for treating people badly and putting himself first, no matter what. Mann alleged that his divorce drama was about keeping his money safe instead of having feelings for his ex-wife, Maa Akosua. The critic also dropped claims about Lumba getting involved with Odo Bronii when she was still a minor, which she described as seriously messed up. She basically said his legendary reputation let him get away with behavior that would have destroyed anyone else's career.
