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.

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.

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...
