Actress Tayo Adeniyi has advised women, especially those in their late 30s and 40s, not to make marriage or having children the centre of their lives.

In a video shared online, the actress said women who have tried to get married or have children without success should not feel incomplete or pressured by society.

According to her, a woman can still live a happy and fulfilling life without a husband or children, stressing that no one should endure unhealthy situations just because they want to get married or become a parent.

She urged women not to settle for less or put up with unacceptable behaviour in pursuit of marriage, adding that if those things are meant to happen, they will happen naturally.

Tayo concluded by encouraging women to focus on living their lives, finding happiness within themselves and not allowing marriage or motherhood to define their worth.

The spokesperson for the command, Timfon John, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

Effiong confessed that he and an accomplice, Asuquo, dug up the grave, removed the corpse, and stole the casket to sell it.

A 26-year-old Nigerian man has been jailed for seven-and-a-half years for the attempted m8rder of his estranged wife in front of their child on a street in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Osarenkhoe Atutie previously pled guilty to the violent offence and was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.

The incident happened on Tuesday, 11 November, 2025 on Duke Street, Leith, where he hugged his daughter before repeatedly st@bbing his ex.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Victory Atutie, 30, sustained 12 injuries including scarring to her face and a collapsed lung.

Lord Cubie said it had been a “sustained attack” on a “defenceless victim” and also banned Atutie, from contacting her for life.

The couple had married in Nigeria about four years before the attack and moved to London where the child was born.

But following a breakdown in their relationship, the wife and daughter moved to Edinburgh where Atutie tracked them down.

The judge said this indicated “a degree of foresight” to the attack.

Lord Cubie added: “She could have died. It was plainly through a combination of luck and the intervention of passers-by that she survived.

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has removed the Officer-in-Charge of the Ibara Medium Custodial Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State, alongside two other principal officers, following the unauthorised use of a mobile phone by an inmate on de@th row who appeared in a viral TikTok live stream.

The inmate, Elijah Oyebode, was sentenced to ***** by hanging in 2019 after an Osun State High E Court convicted him of m#rdering Rofiat Adebisi, a final-year student of Osun State University. According to court records, Oyebode gave conflicting accounts of the crime before denying involvement during trial. The court found him guilty based on medical and other evidence. Despite being on de@th row, Oyebode allegedly maintained an active presence on TikTok. One account reportedly reached Level 20 gifting status, allowing him to receive monetary gifts during livestreams.

Investigators also linked him to another account allegedly created to impersonate TikTok creator and activist

In a statement issued on Thursday by its Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Corrections, JN Osuji, the prison service said the incident constituted a serious breach of custodial security and violated existing regulations guiding correctional operations.

According to the statement, preliminary investigations confirmed that the inmate unlawfully possessed a prohibited mobile device, which he used to access social media while in custody. The NCoS said the device had been recovered during a search operation and secured as an exhibit as part of the ongoing investigation.

It added that the inmate had been transferred to another custodial facility where he is being held under enhanced security pending the conclusion of investigations.

The Service said the Officer-in-Charge of the custodial centre, alongside two other principal officers, had been removed pending the outcome of the investigation.

Content creator Maraji has reacted strongly to a man who claimed the relationship between TikTok couple Peller and Jarvis is doomed because Jarvis is a few years older than him.

The man argued that men should always marry younger women, claiming women age faster than men and suggesting Peller could eventually become unfaithful because of fame and success.

Reacting to the video, Maraji described his comments as ridiculous, questioning the logic behind his claims.

“The audacity!” she said, while mocking several of his arguments and dismissing his predictions about the couple's future.
