Didi Ekanem, Popular actress, earned much sympathy last Sunday when she turned to Instagram to bemoan the fire that destroyed her home in Lagos' Agungi neighborhood.   She said the fire began from her landlord's flat in the same building in an interview with Saturday Beats. "My properties were burned, but I was able to retrieve a few of my items because the closet was not totally destroyed," she explained. Since the incident, my sister and I have been staying in a hotel. Despite the fact that the price is substantial and that some friends have given us temporary housing in their houses, I do not believe I want to live with anyone at this time.

If I'm going to pass out, I'd like to "Contrary to what some people have written on social media, the Property is a rental flat, not mine, and I am really sad for my landlord since renovating the house would cost him so mu...

Ini Edo, a popular actress, has said that she chose surrogacy to have her child in order to escape the stress that usually comes with single parenthood. "I opted for a donor for me and my baby's peace of mind," Stella Dimoko Korkus, 39, said in an interview with a prominent blogger. Marriage should come before children in an ideal world, but we don't live in one.   Another reason I chose a donor is that it worries me to witness banter and debates between a mother and a father over a kid on public forums, or when I see the man saying that he wants his child if things don't work out between the two of them. It's the fear of what that would imply for the child that drives me. I am not someone who is easily swayed by circumstances. I don't regret making lemonades out of lemons thrown my way. To be aiming for perfection in life is risky and brief. I am capable of taking care of my child in the same way that I have taken care of myself. I wanted a child, a...
