Founder of Mount Zion Drama Ministry, Mike Bamiloye always has something amazing to say about his wife, Gloria Bamiloye at every given opportunity.

Last year, on Gloria’s 52nd birthday, Mike revealed their interesting proposal story.

Gloria clocked 53 years old and Mike revealed how her family almost stopped her from marrying him because they considered her young, and him, jobless.

He also revealed how his wife came about the name, “Gloria.”


He wrote,

THE GIRL IS 53 YEARS OLD TODAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER GLORIA!

SHE WAS 21 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME SHE ANSWERED ME.

SHE WAS 20+1 YEARS OLD. AND I WAS 25 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME WE AGREED WE WOULD MARRIED.

But she was Older than her Age. She was wise and intelligent and beautiful.

To her elder brothers and sister (siblings), she was too young to have a fiancé.

She was a young lady who loved the Lord and all in her heart was to do ministry. 3 years later, we told them we wanted to marry. She was 24 years then. Still her family considered her too young to get married. Some of her elder siblings had not married by then. So, they insisted she would not get married because she was too young to get married.

Besides, the man she wanted to marry had no job to make a living. I was never recognized because they considered that I was jobless. They never agreed that drama ministry was anything to reckon with. And to make matters worse, I was on full time ministry. No job, no car, living in a single room, no concrete future they could see. So they put their feet down, it was not yet time for their daughter to marry.

But, Gloria was so strong in heart. She was talking with them at home as a lady who had millions in stock, as a lady who was so sure of where she was going and so certain of the man she was going to marry. They said, I had no job. She spoke back to them that I had a job. They asked her, what was the job, She replied confidently and boldly: DRAMA. They said she was not serious. The mini-introduction ended with that note that both families were no ready for the wedding. But Gloria and I were so bold and confidant and sure of a Future we did not see practically.

The Lord told us to trust Him. And we did. We fixed the wedding date: October 8th, 1988. And we began to prepare for the wedding. The families heard we were preparing for wedding as we went into series of prayers to commit their heart into the Lord’s hand. So that they would have a change of heart. About two months to the fixed wedding day, the families began to ask us about the preparations. They all began to run around for the wedding.

On October 8, 1988. I got wedded to this 24 years old little girl, but full of wisdom and courage. And our life began.

Help me celebrate this Woman who married me to make me a Fulfilled Man. SISTER GLORIA……by the way. I needed to say this that I have never said before, and that has never been read anywhere before. It has been a secret between us. But I am sharing it today, to commemorate her 53rd Birthday Anniversary.

A year into our Courtship, she complained to me that she didn’t like her English name. It was one unpopular English name like this, which she gave to herself while in Primary school. She said the English name was not inspiring and appealing enough. I knew her to love reading the books of Gloria Copeland. So I said I would give another name. And I gave her “GLORIA”. She liked the name. And it became her name thenceforth. it is a Secret between us. Please, Don’t tell anyone.

PLEASE, CELEBRATE THIS WOMAN OF VALOUR. A VISION CARRIER. A VIRTUOUS WOMAN.

GLORIA OLUSOLA ALABA BAMILOYE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Why would you post pictures in your underwear? – Portable out calls Tiwa Savage

Published

By

Nigerian singer Portable has raked reactions on social media after calling Tiwa Savage out for posting pictures in her underwear at 40 years old.

During his recent TikTok live stream, Portable, who is known for his outspoken personality, questioned the appropriateness of Tiwa’s posts, particularly given her status as a mother and her age.

“I’ve noticed something; someone needs to talk to Tiwa Savage, please. Tell her to calm down o. I’ve been listening to her music since I was small now I’m a father and mummy Tiwa savage is still posting pictures in her underwear. Only panties? Is it good for a mum to post pictures in her underwear?”

Despite his criticism, Portable admitted Tiwa Savage appeals to him, describing her as a “bad girl” who has maintained her appeal since her younger years.

“E dey enter my eye, make I no lie. The day I met Tiwa Savage and I hugged her, it felt like I hugged a mermaid and was being swept away. But someone should tell her to calm down with the naked outfits.”

In between hysterical laughter, the singer added, “Tiwa Savage, I swear to God, you’re appealing to me. you’ve been bad since you were 19 and you’re still a bad girl at 40, you’re still wearing panties at 40.”

His remarks sparked reactions from social media users, with some slamming him and others expressing their support for his views.

An outraged Instagram user asked, “What level of disrespect is this?”

“I actually don’t think he means any harm. He’s just not emotionally intelligent. So he lacks the methodology to communicate his message appropriately. He’s basically saying Tiwa’s dress sense is becoming ‘fighting temptation’ in a nutshell,” another person wrote.

Another comment read, “He should be shut.up..Tiwa savage is an entertainer…if nicki minaj did the same u would not talk.”

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

Published

By

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”

Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has accused Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, his twin brother, over alleged intellectual property theft.

Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ — a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer exists.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Rudeboy claimed that the song was his, arguing that it was supposed to feature in his forthcoming album. He also alleged the producer hijacked the track.

“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day,” he wrote.

“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”

In another post, the singer vowed to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.

“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.
