Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the , says he believes all women are witches and manipulators.

Ooni was hosting the cast of the Real Housewives of Lagos (RHOL) season 2 in his palace.

Toyin Lawani, one of the housewives, had invited other members including Iyabo Ojo, Tania Omotayo, Mariam Timmer, and Chioma Ikokwu to a courtesy visit at the Ooni of Ife’s palace in Ilé-Ifè.

Lawani claimed she is from a royal family and wanted her colleagues to feel the majestic lifestyle in the palace.

She added that one of the queens in the palace is her “big aunty”.

Laura Ikeji-Kanu and Faith Morey were, however, absent from the event.

Ooni Ogunwusi claimed “every woman has a manipulative spirit” which black people refer to as witchcraft.

He argued that women possess the power to manipulate people.

He, therefore, urged his guests to use their powers positively so as to make the world a better place.

“The world should be a better place, especially for women. You are very powerful. You rule the world,” he said.

“Your power is limitless. You have so many influences on the society.

“The black people would say witchcraft. Every woman has that witchcraft spirit in them. You know people just probably think it is a negative thing. But witchcraft is all about manipulation.

“If you know how to manipulate very well. And then that is the power of a woman. You have a natural manipulative spirit. And you should manipulate in a very positive way. You are good witches.”

The final episode of RHOL 2 will be aired on December 1.

A High Court in Ogun State has imposed an interim injunction prohibiting a planned event in memory of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.

The legal team of the deceased family disclosed this in a statement signed by its representative, Monisola Odumosu, and exclusively obtained by PUNCH Metro, on Sunday.

Odumosu noted that the court’s decision, handed down by Justice O. Osunfisan, on Thursday, was in response to a motion filed by the late Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, represented by Emmanuel Oroko.

According to the statement, the injunction specifically targeted plans to host the ‘Sing for Mohbad and Win’ event, scheduled for September 12-14, 2024 in the state or any other location.

“In the motion with suit number HCT/871/2024 Justice Osunfisan ordered as follows ‘ An order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the respondent whether by himself servants, agents,assigns or otherwise however called from holding any event titled ‘Sing for Mohbad and Win’ organised by the respondent which is set to be held on September 12, 13, and 14, 2024, at the Aqua Lounge or any other place pending the determination of the originating motion for interlocutory injunction dated and filed on September 6, 2024. The order of interim injunction hereby granted today, the 12 day of September 2024, is to last for seven days following the provision of the Rules of Court,” the statement read in part.

The Aloba family, who initiated the legal action, had previously appealed to the public to respect their moment of grief and refrain from commercialising the occasion by exploiting the goodwill of their late son.

Odumosu however stated that the matter was set to return to court on October 7, 2024, for the hearing of the originating motion for interlocutory injunction.

Mercy Johnson-Okojie, the Nollywood actress, has been criticised on social media for campaigning for Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate in the upcoming Edo election.

A now-viral video shows Mercy soliciting votes for Okpebholo at a rally. She also assured the crowd that the APC gubernatorial candidate will “bring positive changes” to the state.

“Are you not tired? No light, water, healthcare, security and good roads. If you will vote for senator Monday, raise your hand,” she said.

“…So when you get to that field early in the morning, vote for Monday, vote for APC, vote for the broom.”

The video has triggered backlash on social media with critics slamming the actress for supporting the ruling party despite widespread economic hardship.

“Mercy Johnson is just a cheap opportunistic agbero with zero class and zero morality in my opinion. Imagine supporting blabbing Tinubu and now also supporting Illiterate Monday Okpebholo of all people. Talent is really not enough,” an X user wrote.
