From Love To Betrayal: How Rema’s Ex-Girlfriend Used Manipulation To Break His Heart,

Published

on

Nigerian music sensation Divine Ikubor, widely known as Rema, has shared a candid look into why his previous relationship ultimately fell apart. In a recent conversation with YouTuber Korty EO, the singer revealed that he made the difficult decision to leave because the dynamic had become unsustainable for his mental well-being.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Rema explained that while the romance was enjoyable and filled with positive moments at the start, it eventually became defined by emotional strain. As a global superstar, he noted that he already manages immense pressure from his public career and constant media attention. Because of this, he sought his home to be a sanctuary of peace and relaxation—a place to decompress after the demands of life on the road.

Instead, Rema described his home life as becoming a source of added tension. He characterized his former partner as manipulative, noting that the constant pressure he faced within the relationship became too much to bear.

Reflecting on his decision to walk away, Rema shared:

“My romantic relationship was beautiful but a little quite manipulative. So much pressure. Knowing the world puts so much pressure on me but coming back home is where you want to feel relieved but when you come back home and you are getting more pressure, it’s a different story. For now, I’m done.”

Ultimately, Rema chose to prioritize his own health, concluding that ending the relationship was the necessary step to reclaim his peace of mind.

Behind Bars: Blogger Remanded For “Fabricated, Reckless, And Malicious” Claims Against Tony Elumelu And Family.

Published

A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the remand of a blogger, Nwanorue John Surpruchi, following his arraignment on charges of cyberstalking and defamation against UBA CEO Tony Elumelu.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Inspector General of Police, acting through the Force Criminal Investigation Department (ForceCID) in Lagos, brought a four-count charge against Surpruchi before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa. The charges include conspiracy, cyberstalking, the dissemination of false information, and defamation.

According to the case file (FHC/L/316C/2026), prosecutors allege that the defendant used the X (formerly Twitter) handle @PROBLEMCHLMKYI to spread false claims on or around April 5, 2026. Specifically, the prosecution stated that Surpruchi and accomplices published fabricated stories alleging that Elumelu had divorced his wife after DNA results purportedly indicated none of his seven children were biologically his. These posts garnered significant attention, reaching approximately 1.9 million views, 1,600 reposts, and 6,300 likes. The prosecution argued that these actions were intended to expose Elumelu and his family to public ridicule, hatred, and reputational harm.

These activities are alleged to violate both the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015 and the Criminal Code Act.

Upon entering a plea of not guilty, the court addressed the defendant’s bail application. Because the prosecution needed time to respond to the recently filed motion, Justice Lewis-Allagoa adjourned the hearing until June 19, 2026. In the interim, the court ordered that Surpruchi be remanded in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
