Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has highlighted seven key things he believes Nigerians should avoid amid the current economic crises in Nigeria, laying particular emphasis on pregnancy.

In an Instagram post made on October 17, 2024, Agu stressed the importance of making prudent choices during these tough times.

“Here is a list of things to watch out for, the way things are going in our country today. Number one, try not to fall sick if possible,” he advised, emphasising the increasing difficulties of accessing healthcare amid economic instability.

The actor continued, “Number two, make sure your phone is in good shape and ensure your data is active. Number three, make sure you drink plenty of water and healthy food, that is, if there is food to eat.”

Humorously, Agu repeatedly listed pregnancy as the top thing to avoid, saying, “Number 4, no give woman belle o, for this hard time. Number 5, avoid cases that would land you in prison. Number 6, observe rule number four, no give woman belle o. Number 7 is always listen to rule number 4, no vibe woman belle o. And finally, which is the most important, pray to God.”

The actor’s post received equally humorous comments from Instagram users who agreed with his list.

One user wrote, “NO GIVE WOMAN BELLE OOOO… I say make I highlight am for capital letters 😂”

“If you like go and say ‘Children will bring financial blessings,’ you’ll cry more than the baby. You better think about the future of your kids, if you’re not financially and mentally prepared to have kids, don’t ever bring an innocent child into this world to suffer!!” another person wrote.

“No do watin go land you for police station,” another person emphasised.

Shatta Bandle, the Ghanaian socialite, has welcomed his second child.

The socialite announced the baby’s arrival via an Instagram post on Wednesday. He also shared photos of the newborn while expressing his excitement.

“Congratulations to myself,” he wrote without revealing the baby’s gender, name and date of birth.

The identity of the baby’s mother is also unknown.

Bandle welcomed his first child in September 2022 and also held the naming ceremony in a grand style.

Bandle, whose real name is Firdaus Iddrisu, is popular for flaunting wealth and showing off cash, houses, and cars on social media.

The internet sensation, who suffers from a genetic or medical condition called dwarfism, is also popular for making “outrageous” claims.

The comic actor, born in Karaga, the northern region of Ghana, once told his followers that he intends to sign Davido and Wizkid, two critically acclaimed Nigerian Afropop stars, to his record label.

Bandle became popular on social media platforms in 2019 after he started to challenge the billionaire status of Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man.

Aside from being a socialite, Bandle has also been featured in movies and music videos. He starred in Wale Ojo’s movie ‘This is not a Nollywood Movie’.

Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, has passed away.

The 31-year-old singer was found dead on Wednesday after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

According to AP, Payne fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Palermo neighbourhood of the Argentine capital. The songwriter sustained severe injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pablo Policicchio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, confirmed that Payne had jumped from the balcony of his hotel room.

Police were called to the hotel in response to an emergency call just after 5 p.m. local time. The hotel manager reported that Payne was behaving erratically and potentially under the influence of substances.

Payne joined One Direction in 2010 at the age of 16.

The group became the biggest boyband in the world after their 2010 launch on ‘The X Factor’. The band broke up in 2015.

In June 2021, the singer disclosed his struggles with alcohol and prescription drug addiction during One Direction’s tours.

He also revealed that he had experienced severe suicidal thoughts at one point.

Recent reports had surfaced about Maya Henry, Payne’s ex-fiancée, alleging that he
pressured her to get an abortion and had broken off their engagement.
