Omotola Accused Of Having Affairs With Oshiomhole
Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has been accused of having affairs with former National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole. A blogger, Gistlover has alleged that the actress and the politician are romantically linked.
In a post shared via her Instagram page on Tuesday, January 19, 2020, the movie star refuted the claims by the blogger. The actress is demanding that the blogger behind the story produce receipts to the alleged affair.
“I ordinarily don’t do this, but after thinking about it thoroughly and seeking advice, I have decided to do so. This blog ran this story and people started coming to my page. I’ve always known there are people who are sick and will tell you stories that have never happened, but to publish that on a platform as big as Instagram? You must be held accountable.
“I have demanded they finish and prove this story….problem is this blog is hiding under anonymity (faceless blogging). There are more credible blogs out there….follow blog with accountability, can anyone who loves me and what I have stood for all these years please I, report this page, 2, report this page, 3 report this page and for those of you who are addicted to cheap gossip, if you are not interested in damaging people unnecessarily, then demand a proof of this story, I am giving this 24 hours,” thanks she wrote.
Omotola’s post is coming 24 hours after Gistlover had subliminally posted a photo of the actress and Oshiomhole with a very interesting caption. The actress has since asked her followers to boycott and report the Instagram page of the blogger.
Gistlover who is known to be notorious blog that doesn’t back down easily also responded to the actress. The faceless blog stood on their claims that something untoward seemed to have gone down between the actress and politician, who was also former Governor of Edo State.
The blog even took thing a notch higher by mentioning more notable names that the actress was allegedly involved with despite being married. It added that it did not want to destroy her marriage and would refrain from posting more details.
In another post, Gistlover wrote: “my dear Omotola we will kindly finish what we started boo. Motivational speaker of life, it’s not only Oshiomhole, Auntee Omotee, Tchidi that made you fight with Genevieve then, dey the list (some of the industry people know about this low key).

“Na so Ehi deny Oluomo so tey them arrested Kemi Ashefon for lifting the story on my blog. See it now, its everywhere and obviously they are nacking, I pass hear say blog, so take seats mama, selah”.
Spotify yesterday revealed a significant surge in heartbreak song streams in Nigeria during the Valentine’s Day season, with a 626 percent increase between 2022 and 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos, Nigeria by Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa Phiona Okumu.
Okumu said, “Spotify data reveals a surprising trend, a massive surge in heartbreak song streams.
“Nigerians are turning to their playlists to express their emotions, with a staggering 626 per cent overall growth in heartbreak streams from 2022 to 2024.
“This Valentine, the sound of love is accompanied by the sound of heartbreak, and the data shows it’s louder than ever before.”
She said on Valentine’s Day, most surprisingly, male listeners streamed heartbreak songs at a significantly higher rate than female listeners, with a 362 per cent increase compared to 169 per cent among women.
“This could suggest that men resonate with the feeling of heartbreak more and turn to music as a private outlet for processing emotions.
“Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, when love is in the air, so is heartbreak and Nigerian men are pressing play on their pain more than expected.
“While Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with grand gestures, heartbreak is a common theme on Valentine’s Day -more than what’s publicly shown,” she said.
Nigerians will join their counterparts across the world to mark the 2025 Valentine’s today.

Fashion and beauty entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani, has claimed she is enduring back pain and that her spine is degenerating.
Lawani revealed this in a video posted on social media last Tuesday.
In the clip, she opened up about her experience with epidural anesthesia, an injection administered to pregnant women in the spine to reduce pain during childbirth.
The mother of three claimed that since receiving the injection, she has not felt like herself.
She accused doctors of not fully informing women about the long-term side effects of epidurals.
According to Lawani, she received the anesthetic injection during the birth of her last two children.
She said, “When you hear ‘epidural,’ run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body. I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having.
“Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine. I go paralyzed. I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.
“They will not tell you because you just want the pain to go away. I have had two epidurals. I had my first as natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had epidural because I had to undergo a surgery and I had no choice.
“See, the pain does not stop. My back is killing me and my spine is degenerating.”
