Family Drama Explodes: Ilebaye’s Father Says She Refused Him Money But Sprayed Cash At Cross’ Wedding.
Hon. Godson Odiniya, father of BBNaija Season 8 winner Ilebaye Odiniya, has spoken publicly about the rift between him and his daughter, explaining what led to their disagreement.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an audio recording shared on social media by journalist Jeremiah Promise Enemona Ocheme on Sunday, Odiniya said the tension began after he sought financial assistance from Ilebaye for a planned medical trip to Dubai, but she allegedly turned down his request.
According to him, he had asked his daughter to temporarily lend him money because funds he was expecting had not yet been received, but she told him she did not have the money.
“The most recent one that I was not happy about was when I was supposed to go for a medical check-up in Dubai. I told my daughter, ‘I’m lacking resources, please borrow me a certain amount of money, the money I’m expecting hasn’t come.’ My daughter told me she doesn’t have money,” he said.
He further expressed disappointment after allegedly seeing her publicly spend large amounts of money shortly afterward.
“A week before that, come and see how my daughter was spraying bundles of money at the wedding of one of her colleagues, whom they call Cross,” he added.
Odiniya clarified that he had no issue with his daughter supporting her friends, but questioned why she could not also support him.
“That is not the problem. I will be happy if my daughter supports her colleagues, but what about your father? If you help your father, is anything wrong?” he said.
The controversy comes amid reports of Odiniya’s arrest over the alleged assault of his daughter at their residence in Royal Anchor Estate, Wuye, Abuja.
The incident drew widespread public attention after a viral video surfaced online on Saturday showing Ilebaye visibly distressed, in tears, and with noticeable facial swelling while calling for help during the altercation.

He further praised Johnny Drille’s consistency, noting that his live performances are as strong as his studio recordings.
“He is also an amazing performer—the way he sounds in the studio is the same way he sounds in live shows,” he added.
Meanwhile, Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has reflected on her transition from R&B to Afrobeats after returning to Nigeria in 2012.

In an interview with TVC, she credited Don Jazzy for playing a major role in her transition, saying he helped reshape her mindset and encouraged her to believe in limitless possibilities.
According to the “Kele Kele Love” singer, Don Jazzy opened her mind to new creative directions and assured her she could achieve anything she focused on.

reports that the former Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host made the disclosure via his official account after a follower asked about his relationship status.
In his response, the 53-year-old media personality confirmed that he is not in a relationship, adding that his past experiences have shaped his decision to avoid further commitments.
He also shared his thoughts on love and relationships, advising people to seek happiness within themselves rather than relying entirely on a partner for emotional fulfillment.
According to him, individuals should avoid losing their identity in relationships and should be willing to walk away from any union that does not support their peace or personal growth.
Responding to the fan’s question, he wrote:
“Frank are you single?”
He replied: “Yes, I have had my share. Never getting committed again. Ever. Find true happiness by being by yourself. Don’t make anyone the source of your happiness and the center of your world. Don’t lose yourself in any relationship. Be ready to walk away from any relationship that doesn’t edify you.”
Edoho was first married to actress Katherine Obiang, with whom he has three children before their separation in 2011.
He later married Sandra Onyenuchenuya in 2014, and the union produced two children before they eventually went their separate ways.
