Although Portable was previously granted bail of ₦300,000 with two family members as sureties, he reportedly failed to attend multiple scheduled hearings, leading to his remand last week.

Big Brother Naija Lockdown winner, Laycon, has revealed that his mother’s health situation during the reality show was so critical that he believes she might not have survived if he had not emerged winner.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

He made this known during an interview on the Echo Room podcast, where he explained that his mother was already seriously ill while he was still in the Big Brother house and her condition worsened significantly by the time he was evicted.

“When I was in the house, my mom was ill. By the time I came out, my mom was close to death. I’m saying it categorically now, if I did not win that show, if I had gone and come out second, my mom would be dead now,” he said.

Laycon also spoke about how he got opportunities in the film industry after the show, explaining that most producers approached him because of his fame from BBNaija rather than any proven acting experience.

Shocking Insight: Don Jazzy Reveals Key Reason Marriages Don’t Last Today.

Published

on

Nigerian music executive Don Jazzy has sparked reactions online after sharing a lighthearted explanation about why many modern marriages seem to break down faster than those of previous generations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a video that quickly went viral on social media, the Mavin Records boss used wedding cakes as a humorous analogy to compare past and present relationships.

He noted that in earlier times, couples often used fruit cakes made with alcohol for weddings. According to him, such cakes were durable and could last for long periods—sometimes up to a year—allowing couples to preserve and even share portions during their first wedding anniversary.

He jokingly suggested that this long-lasting nature of traditional cakes symbolically reflected the stability of marriages in the past.

Don Jazzy contrasted this with today’s trend, where many couples opt for butter or ice-cream cakes that require careful storage and spoil more easily.

He humorously implied that the shorter lifespan of these modern cakes mirrors the perceived fragility of some contemporary marriages.

He also pointed out that many modern wedding cakes are often heavily decorated with non-edible materials, with only a small portion actually meant for consumption.
