My kidney failed, liver shut down – Reality TV star, Bambam recounts childbirth experience

Reality TV star and actress, Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, has recounted her traumatic childbirth experience.
It should be recalled that Bambam and her husband, Teddy A, welcomed their first child, Zendaya, in 2020, barely a year after their wedding.
Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘Me & My Grils’ podcast, Bambam said her first childbirth experience was traumatic.
She recalled that her kidney failed and her liver and other vital organs shut down in the process.
The reality star noted that a lot of stillbirths are due to negligence.
She said, “A lot of stillbirths are due to negligence. It’s either the doctor was not sound or the nurse didn’t do her job on time or they arrived the hospital late.
“During my first labour, my kidney failed, my heart was weak, my liver…everything was just shutting down because of childbirth. She [my daughter] had detached from the placenta. If I was a second late [to the hospital] she would have lost oxygen and I would have had a stillbirth?
“Everytime I look at her, I just say, ‘What if…?’ The what ifs have tormented me. They tormented me so much. I will look at her and I will just… even just remembering I’m getting so nervous. The what ifs were so many and they haunted me for a while. I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful.”

I’d be divorced again if I remarried – Toke Makinwa

Media personality, Toke Makinwa said she does not regret her decision not to remarry.
She stated this in the latest episode of her podcast, Toke Moments.

“Honestly, regret is exhausting. Number two, get comfortable with your truth,” she said.
Makinwa said she was almost teary anytime she remembered she was 40 and childless until she chose to accept her truth.
“I used to feel like, ‘Oh my God! How am I 40 and don’t have a child? How am I 40 and single? How am I 40 and alone?
“Listen, if I’m completely honest with you guys, if I had gotten married again, I’d be divorced again because the lessons just never stop.
“I’m grateful for the journey. I’m grateful for where I am at,” she said.

Mercy Chinwo: Court orders arrest of VeryDarkMan for defamation

The Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, has issued a bench warrant to arrest blogger Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), for “criminal defamation” of gospel singer Mercy Chinwo’s reputation.
The magistrate directed the Nigeria Police Force, along with other law enforcement authorities, to arrest VeryDarkMan and bring him to court to answer the charges leveled against him.
Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna issued the bench warrant on Thursday, March 13, 2025, after VeryDarkMan failed to appear before the magistrate despite a court summons issued on March 5, 2025.
Though VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, requested that the magistrate reconsider the bench warrant and that he physically produce his client in court, Magistrate Iyanna denied the request and insisted that VeryDarkMan be produced in court by security agents.
When contacted, Adeyanju told Channels Television that a bench warrant was issued against his client.
“Yes, a bench warrant has been issued against him for failure to show up in court.
“They are just interested in media trial over the matter. They are not interested in prosecuting the matter,” Adeyanju said.
The bench warrant stemmed from alleged defamatory statements made by VDM on social media, accusing Chinwo of involvement in a contractual dispute and the purported diversion of $345,000 linked to her former record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, also known as Eezee Tee.
In support of her claims, Chinwo furnished the court with documentary evidence, including emails and payment receipts, to substantiate that VDM’s allegations were not only entirely false but damning and injurious to her public image and reputation.
The complainant’s lawyers led by Pelumi Olajengbesi of Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, Chinwo said the alleged actions of the defendant are contrary to Sections 391 of the Penal Code and Section 24 (1)(B) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention etc) Act 2015.
