Nigerian singer Simi has humorously responded to critics after being called out for wearing a swimsuit to a pool party as a married woman.

Taking to her Instagram account on July 9, 2024, the singer addressed the issue in a witty manner and apologised for wearing a one-piece swimsuit.

“I just came here feeling repentant; yesterday I went to the swimming pool and I wore a swimsuit, guys, and I’m just so sorry,” Simi began, acknowledging the backlash. “Honestly, I just wasn’t thinking; I didn’t think.”

The singer playfully noted that she would wear a kaftan to the next pool party she attends.

“My friend told me, ‘Sims, you can’t wear a swimsuit at the pool; you’re married’. I should have known better; I didn’t know better, and I’m sorry. Next time I go to the swimming pool, as a sign of respect to my husband, I will wear a kaftan. I will do better than the best. I don’t want to disappoint you,” she said.

In like fashion, she lightheartedly encouraged her followers and critics to support her music amidst the controversy.

She concluded, “If nothing, please stream my album Lost and Found, because I was lost at the pool and now I’m found.”

Her post raked up equally-witty comments from her fans, followers, and fellow celebrities who played along with her.

Falz wrote, “I cannot believe you. And you’re supposed to be a mother figure.” Singer Teni wrote, “Na damask you for wear,” and media personality Isbae U commented, “I’m just glad you have learned your lessons. Next time you need to go to a pool, wear Dungarees Abeg or Abaya.”

All this comes after her video from her friend’s pool party went viral across social media, and in the video, she was seen indulging in a playful trend with other attendees. While many found the video playful and funny, others took note of her one-piece swimsuit and slammed her for exposing her body as a married woman.

‘If you had powers, your two wives would still be alive’ — VeryDarkMan replies Lazarus Muoka

VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has hit back at Lazarus Muoka, the general overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, for calling him out.

The church has been under scrutiny since clips of the members sharing their strange testimonies went viral on social media.

In a recent video, Muoka called out VeryDarkMan, saying he was told the activist “made negative comments about my church”.

The cleric alleged that the social media influencer said “Chosen members will learn the hard way”.

Mouka said he told the person “VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way” — implying that the activist is in a difficult situation due to his remarks about Chosen.

Reacting via his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan questioned Muoka’s powers, citing his “wives’ mysterious deaths”.

The social media influencer also criticised the church testimonies, referring to them as “exaggerated and ridiculous”.

“If you had this power, your two wives would still be alive. In 2010 you lost your first wife, Joy Muoka and then again you lost your second wife, ‘Pastor Ngozi Muoka. You should have worn ‘They are chosen’ clothes on their body so they would not have died,” he said.

“… miracle happens but not in the way your church members explain. They are exaggerating it.”

It was gathered that Mouka’s first wife died in 2010. His second wife was said to have passed away in July last year. She was buried buried last month.

Atinuke Kazeem, the Nigerian actress better known as Mama No Network, has opened up about her broken marriage to Baba Lanko, her colleague.

In an interview with actress Biola Bayo, Mama No Network revealed how she and Baba Lanko initially worked together to produce films.

She said their relationship, however, began to crumble after he found success and sought to marry another woman.

She claimed that after the dissolution of their marriage, Lanko blocked her from appearing in the same films as him. She added that but now, he hires her for roles.

“My ex-husband, Lanko, and I worked hard to produce many films. But when money and fame came, he told me he wanted to marry a new wife,” she said.

“After we parted ways, he told producers not to feature me in the same projects as him. Today, however, he now uses his money to call me for movie roles, and I give glory to God.”

The actress also recounted the struggles she faced with infertility during their marriage, including undergoing extreme measures like drinking kerosene, which made her bloated.

She added that God eventually “answered her prayers” by making her conceive naturally.

“I wasn’t the one who left the marriage; he simply stopped coming home. During our time together, I faced immense difficulties while trying to have a child. I went through hell,” she added.

“At one point, I was given kerosene to drink. All those desperate measures affected me, leading to my bloated stomach. When I finally gave up hope, God answered my prayers, and the pregnancy came naturally.”

In May 2023, Mama No Network remarried. She tied the knot to a younger partner.
