“Toyo Baby” Explains Why She Lied To Fans About Being A Virgin
Juliana Olayode popularly know as “Toyo Baby” in the Jenifa’s Diary series explains why she lied to her one million fans about her virginity.
Recall that the 22-year-old published a memoir titled Rebirth, in which she told personal stories, including claims that she lost her virginity at the age of 17 to her teacher in a cheap hotel.
Shortly after excerpts of the book surfaced, folks who have been following the actress’ campaign for female ‘sexual purity’ confronted her for lying about her sexual status, especially because she went on TV to carry on with the campaign and even emphatically said on Ebony Life TV that she was a virgin.
Barraged with the horde of angry comments, and seeing that she had lost faith with her fans, the actress issued a statement to Premium Times, and attempted to explain away her lies.
She said:
“People had assumed I was a virgin. I had never said I was but I had never corrected their assumptions either. So, I was still in that fix. Shortly after my confession, Ebony Life TV called me for an interview. I went and for the first time in my several interviews; I was asked point blank if I was a virgin. I tried to evade the question, but my interviewer was not having it. She demanded for a yes or no. I did not see the question coming and I lied. I said, “Yes, I am a virgin”. Immediately the interview was over, I hurried to the bathroom in the studio and cried. I felt terrible for lying and told God I was sorry.”
I felt it was my secret and the whole world need not know about it. I was upset with myself, however, for answering her. I could have insisted I could not tell. So, I proposed never to answer such again. Easier said than done, right? Shortly after, I was on another TV interview, Crux Of The Matter, with Elsie.
I was invited to talk for sexual purity while the other guest spoke against. In the process of the discussion, around the time when it was heated, I was asked out of the blues again if I was a virgin. And before I knew it, I heard myself lying again. I was mad at myself. I was on another TV interview that trended for a while. It was On The Couch, with Lady Ariyike. I talked about sexual purity, but thankfully I was not asked if I was virgin. After that one, I decided to stop interviews altogether. I was tired of lying or having to dread lying if I was asked straight up.”

Davido under fire for participating in US election
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has come under intense criticism on social media for participating in the 2024 US presidential election.
Donald Trump defeated Vice-President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party on Wednesday to win the US presidential election.
But on Tuesday, Davido shared a photo of himself holding a sticker that reads “I am a Georgian voter. I secured my vote”.
The singer expressed his enthusiasm as a “first-time voter in the US”.

However, many Nigerians have called him out for being “hypocritical,” alleging that he never voted in Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election
Some users argued that Davido’s sudden interest in voting in the US election seems like a bid for validation from Americans.
Others defended Davido’s right to vote in the US election, citing his citizenship as a valid reason. They argued that it was his civic duty to participate in the democratic process, regardless of his nationality.
“This guy is a hypocrite, you’ve never voted in any presidential election in Nigeria, but now you’re seeking validation from Americans,” a user wrote.
In another comment, a user added: “When it concerns Nigeria, you will never see them. The only time they are interested is when they can chase clout with it. Yeyebrities.”

Ufuoma McDermott narrates how excessive drug damaged her kidney
Ufuoma McDermott, the Nollywood actress, has revealed the cause of her stage four kidney disease.
In a recent episode of the WithChude podcast, McDermott shared that her kidney disease was caused by prolonged misuse of strong painkillers due to migraines and headaches.
The actress revealed that she had avoided wearing glasses due to concerns about her appearance, leading to chronic headaches. She said to manage the pain, she took strong painkillers, unaware of the long-term consequences.
The 43-year-old said she found out about the cause after she and her brother were both diagnosed with kidney disease, sparking fears that it might be genetic.
“I really wish everyone would understand the importance of health. My brother was diagnosed late on stage 4 of kidney disease and he goes straight into dialysis and has complications. I was diagnosed earlier,” she said.
“So I have lived on medication for almost 12 years now. When my brother got diagnosed, I ran to my cardiologist. My parents were scared, thinking if this was genetic. We had to trace the kidney disease and we learned it was from drug abuse.
“I grew up with migraines, headaches, and eye aches, and I never wore my glasses because they made me look like a geek. I would take painkillers for my migraine. I took strong painkillers and not the ordinary painkillers because I wanted the pain to go away.”
