Naira Marley Not Innocent, He Bullied My Son – Mohbad’s Dad

Published

on

Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly as Mohbad, has rejected claims by Marlian Music boss Naira Marley that he had no hand in the troubles his son faced while alive.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Aloba insisted that Mohbad suffered harassment under Marley’s watch despite the singer’s public denial.

It was reports that he explained that he once confronted Marley after hearing disturbing accounts from his son and later witnessed situations that confirmed Mohbad was mistreated.

According to him, even a close associate of Marley once reported incidents of physical assault against Mohbad.

He said: “I went to see Naira Marley over some of the things Mohbad had said, and that was all. But later, a lot of other things happened that I personally witnessed. There were about three other people present at the time; two of them are still alive today. They were people working with Naira Marley, even though they were younger and still under him. One of them once came to me to report that Naira Marley was beating Mohbad.

“When we went to see him to apologise, he wasn’t even speaking respectfully. People think I went there to collect money, but life is much more than just what I want to eat.”

I Was Sick For 3 Days, Nobody Checked On Me – Nkechi Blessing Calls Out Fans’ Fake Love

Published

on

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has revealed that she was sick for three days but received little concern from her followers on Instagram.

It was reports that in a video, the mother of one explained that during the period she was offline, no one reached out to ask about her wellbeing, except one Instagram user identified as @patcollections.

The influencer said that people are usually quick to flood her page with comments whenever she announces a giveaway but showed no interest in her absence.

According to the actress, the situation made her realize that social media attention is not genuine and that everyone must learn to live for themselves.

She stressed that once a person is gone, people only remember briefly before moving on with their lives.

Nkechi disclosed that she is recovering from the illness and decided to reward the only person who checked on her.

She announced that @patcollections would receive a luxury bag and ₦100,000 as a token of appreciation.

The actress further stated that she would henceforth reserve giveaways for people who truly value her, rather than those who only show up when she shares money or gifts.

She said: “Three whole days I was offline on Instagram. Nobody send my father, nobody even say ah, NBS where have you been, except one person @patcollections. She said ‘Mama, na two days ago you post last, hope everything is fine.’

“But if to say I no come make this video, I just spring up or say I wan do giveaway, you will see more than one million comments in seconds. What does that tell you? Nobody really send you for here. All man for himself. You have to live for yourself because the thing is, once you are gone, they will only think of you for a few days. 24 hours everybody will move on with their life.

“I’ve been very sick for the past three days, but I am getting better. So this person that reached out, the only person that dropped a comment under my last post, I am going to be giving her one bag from Lovely Luxury and a hundred thousand naira. So @patcollections kindly reach out to me. I don’t know if you’re a girl or a guy because it’s a business page, but at least I know a hundred thousand can do a whole lot. It might not do everything, but at least it’s something, just to say thank you for checking up on me.

“Please all the rest of you keep your fake love. This time around I just won’t do giveaway because I have, it’s for people wey actually get sense and wey need am, wey go collect my money or anything I am giving out moving forward. Because some of you na only when giveaway dey you go see them. Even the ones wey I feel say go check on me, dem no check o. Don’t worry.”
