Actress and content creator, Monalisa Stephen, has opened up about her experience in an abusive relationship.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated that she did not initially recognise the abuse until she was physically assaulted.

She said, “I didn’t really know it was a thing. I used to hear other women talk about it, but I didn’t think it would happen to me. I used to believe, ‘I’m a huge woman with a big body, why would anyone want to beat me?’ But it has nothing to do with your body. You can be abused whether you’re fat or not. When I got the first slap, I was shocked. What led to the slap wasn’t even worth it. I was dazed. The experience was unexpected, and I felt really bad because this was someone I trusted. Even though he was below my league, I lowered my standards to date him.

Deji Adeyanju, the political activist and convener of the human rights group Concerned Nigerians, and his wife Nana Bello have welcomed a baby girl.

The human rights activist took to his X account on Sunday evening to announce the arrival of his first child with Nana.

Adeyanju also appreciated God for their bundle of joy while expressing his delight.

“God has just blessed my wife and I with a beautiful baby girl. And we are grateful and delighted. The Lord has done it finally, finally, finally!” he wrote.

Adeyanju and Nana tied the knot in December 2023 at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre while the reception took place at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Garki, Abuja.

Nana had described their union as “two hearts with one love”. She also prayed for God’s love to be the “centre of our marriage”.

“Through God’s grace, our paths intertwined, and now we stand on the threshold of our forever. In these moments captured, I see His love shining through us, guiding us towards a lifetime of faith, hope, and love,” she wrote on Instagram.
