Tiwa Savage Recounts How She Survived Being Broke, Homeless In US

Singer Tiwa Savage has reflected on the time she was so broke and had to live in a shelter in Bedford–Stuyvesant, New York.

The ace singer made this statement at a surprise party organised by her friends for her album launch, Celia.

Based on a video posted on singer, Lami Phillips Instagram account, the sonorous singer, Tiwa Savage described Bedford–Stuyvesant popularly referred to as Bed-Stuy, as a project in New York known to shelter the poor mostly with drug addiction problems.

The singer said she had just graduated from school at the time but couldn’t work due to her citizenship status.

“I think I was 22 and we were in New York. I was living in Bed-Stuy, kind of like a shelter. A lot of people didn’t know this.

“I was in a shelter for women that had drug abuse problems.

“I just graduated from school. You know as an international student you can’t work. So, I couldn’t work. I was doing the side thing in Bed-Stuy which is like the hood in Brooklyn,” Tiwa Savage said.

The singer went on to reveal how she met with Elizabeth Elohor, a former beauty queen, who took her out to eat in New York when she was hungry.

She noted that since she was broke at the time she had to order only appetizers.

“She was ordering food and I ordered appetizers because I was so broke and I was so hungry.

“And I remember she was looking at me and asked, ‘what are you ordering?.’ And I was just lying that I’m not hungry.

“And then she just started asking me, ‘are you sure?.’ And then I just started crying. And then she’s just like, ‘what is the matter?.’ I said, ‘Elohor, I don’t have money.’

“She just started ordering stuff and she even ordered stuff for me to take home.

“I remember going home to my little box or whatever, and I was just crying. This girl literally made my day.

“So, the first time they put my picture in Times Square, she was the first person I called,” she said emotionally.

She went on to advice everyone in the gathering not to allow time to rob them of their destiny.

‘2Face and Annie didn’t manage their marriage well’ – Baba frayo

Published

on

Veteran musician Baba Fryo has said his colleague, 2Face, and his ex-wife didn’t manage their marriage very well.

Recall that 2Face announced his separation from Annie in January and subsequently introduced Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawuru as his new lover.

Reacting in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, Baba Fryo claimed that 2Face left Annie because she wasn’t a good home manager.


He explained that men desire women who can look out for them when they are drowning in vices, not women who also have vices.

He, however, stated that Natasha is not any better than Annie, stressing that he carried her on his legs when she was three years old.

Baba Fryo said, “2Face and his [ex] wife didn’t manage themselves well. They are both entertainers. Annie is an actress and 2Face is a musician.

“In marriage, when the couple are out, it’s the woman’s duty to watch the man. When the man is drinking, the woman will be watching him, and if he is drinking too much, the woman will calm him. But if you marry a woman who also drinks, when you’re both drunk, who will take the other home?

“When a man sees that, he will become insecure in the marriage. And when he goes out and sees another woman with a different attitude… I’m not saying it’s a good attitude oh, because even 2Face’s current lover, Natasha, she is someone I have known since she was three years old. I carried her on my legs. Her father, Desmond, and I were friends.”

Judy Austin wants to kill me – Estranged husband, Obasi cries out

Published

on

Emmanuel Obasi, the ex-husband of Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, has accused her of attempting to end his life.

Obasi made this claim in a trending video on social media.

While begging for help to access his children, he expressed fear for their safety, claiming that Judy has kept them away from him for over 10 years.

Obasi further claimed that he recently found out that Judy Austin wants to secretly eliminate him.

He said that is why he’s calling on the general public for help.

“I’m making this video because I’m in pain. I didn’t see the reason I will marry someone legally and God bless us with two kids. And for over 10 years now, I have never laid my eyes on my children.

“Judy Austin and I have two children together, and she made away with my children, they are nowhere to be found. I don’t even know if those children are still alive. Why I said I’m not sure if they are still alive is that she has been posting the children she had with Yul but she never for one day posted my children nor did I hear from them.

“So, it looks suspicious from the look of things. I’m not even sure if the children are still alive. So I’m begging people of goodwill home and abroad to come and help me please, because I found out that she wanted to kpai me secretly. I don’t know what her aim is all about so I’m calling on VeryDarkMan to please come to my rescue because this is no longer funny, I’m calling on all Nigerians to help me,” Obasi stated

May Edochie’s laywer explains her co-parenting with Yul, clarifies Judy Austin’s role

Published

on

Emeka Ugwuonye, the legal representative of May Edochie, has addressed the co-parenting arrangement between May Edochie and her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.

In a recent Instagram post, Ugwuonye emphasised that co-parenting is not just a moral obligation but a legal requirement for the estranged couple, given their shared children.

According to the lawyer, effective co-parenting demands cooperation and communication between May and Yul Edochie, despite their personal differences.


He revealed that the couple is co parenting effectively, stating that Yul is providing financial support for the children’s education and having unrestricted access to them.

Ugwuonye attributed the negative online reactions to ignorance about what co-parenting entails, stressing that both May and Yul have no choice but to work together for the sake of their children, as it is a legal requirement.

He also addressed speculations about Judy Austin’s involvement in the children’s lives, stating that she has no legal relationship with them currently. However, if she marries Yul, she would become the children’s stepmother.

The lawyer concluded by dismissing public opinion as irrelevant, emphasising that the law governs co-parenting arrangements, not public perception.

“Yes, May and Yul have children together. They will co-parent. Why is that driving anybody crazy? Yul and May are already co-parenting right now, that is the only way it can work. Yul is contributing to the children’s school fees and supporting them as well, so he has unlimited access to the kids. That is what co-parenting entails. If they do not speak to each other, they cannot co-parent effectively.

“Because many of the supporters on both sides are ignorant, they do not understand the fact that both May and Yul have no other choice over the matter: they have to co-parent.

“Now, as for Judy, she is not in any legal relationship with May’s children. There is no basis for any cooperation between May and Judy. However, if Judy eventually gets married to Yul, that will make her a stepmother to May’s children with Yul.”
