Over the weekend, EbonyLife Films ‘Chief Daddy‘ premiered in the cinemas and it’s gotten off to a good start by selling over N40 million worth of movie tickets in its first three days of regional release!

However, these figures exclude advance and private screenings, Chief Daddy is currently the number one film in Nigeria and West Africa. Chief Daddy takes the spot for the second-highest opening weekend for a Nollywood film in 2018 and the third-highest-ever opening weekend for a Nollywood film. This makes it the fifth consecutive number one feature from EbonyLife Films, following Fifty, The Wedding Party, The Wedding Party 2 and The Royal Hibiscus Hotel.

The N42.6 million debut has Chief Daddy officially surpassing The Wedding Party, Nigeria’s highest grossing movie, which had a N36 million opening weekend. Chief Daddy is on course to deliver an impressive N70 million in its first week and up to N200 million before the year ends. With this new record, this places Niyi Akinmolayan as the first film director to have two number one movies in the same calendar year (The Wedding Party 2 and Chief Daddy).

Seyi Law was spiritually monitored through a pair of shoes | fab.ng

Seyi Law, a Nigerian comedian, recently shared a surprising story about discovering someone was spiritually monitoring him. He explained that the revelation came through a pair of shoes gifted to him.

Seyi Law recounted how he became suspicious after noticing strange occurrences linked to the shoes. In other words, he believed someone was using the shoes to spy on him spiritually.

Coincidentally, on November 6, 2024, an X (formerly Twitter) user issued a warning. She urged people to avoid accepting mirrors as gifts.

“One of the gifts you should never accept from anybody is MIRROR.. Yes, you heard me… Whether small, big or fancy ones.. DO NOT ACCEPT MIRROR AS A GIFT!”

Her post faced skepticism from many social media users who doubted the authenticity of her claims. However, comedian Seyi Law supported her warning, sharing his own personal experience to emphasize its validity.

His account reinforced the conversation around spiritual monitoring and the hidden dangers that may come with seemingly innocent gifts.

He wrote, “I wish it was only a mirror they could use to monitor someone sha. One must be very careful of gifts.”

The outspoken comedian shared that he had received revelations on multiple occasions—once during a prayer session and another time in a vivid dream.

According to him, these experiences confirmed that someone was spiritually monitoring him. This reinforced his belief in the existence of such practices.

He wrote,

“On the 2nd March 2016, I had a vigil in my room, and as I prayed, God told me there was something in my house that they were using to monitor me and I found out it was a pair of shoes someone gifted me. My wife took it out and burnt it. Prior to that day, I always doubted people who said God spoke to them.”

“I was awakened from my sleep around 5 am on the 3rd March by a voice that told me to write down what I was hearing. I wrote them, and when my eyes cleared and I read what I wrote, I turned and told my wife that she was pregnant. She doubted it until days later when we confirmed,” he added.

He emphasized that after getting rid of the shoes, the person monitoring him stopped visiting his house.

“Fast forward, we had my daughter and on the day of her dedication, a prophet told me God has removed what they were using to monitor me in my home and that the person would never step in my house again. The person hasn’t stepped a foot in my house ever again, no matter my invitations,” he wrote.

Uche Ogbodo reveals why she blocked May Edochie | fab.ng

Uche Ogbodo, a popular Nollywood actress, has revealed why she blocked Yul Edochie’s estranged wife, May, on social media.

Ogbodo shared this while criticizing May’s fans for trolling her over a recent robbery at her boutique. She added that she blocked May because she didn’t intervene to stop the toxic behaviour of her fans.

Earlier this week, Uche Ogbodo disclosed that robbers invaded her boutique and stole goods worth millions of naira.

In response to the negative comments on her social media page, Ogbodo took to Instagram to express her frustration. She claimed that May’s fans were mocking her, suggesting that the robbery was “karma” for supporting Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin.

Ogbodo labelled the trolls as toxic fans and emphasized that she blocked May because she seemed to enjoy the negativity.

She wrote,

“Toxic May Edochie fans! Unah go dey Taya ooo. Very very toxic bunch of lunatics! You people don’t own this social media. No matter how toxic you get, you can never pass Wizkid’s FC. Stop watching my videos if it hurts so bad. Misfortune is life, and it’s rotational; it will surely swing. So wait for your own turn. Allow me to enjoy mine.

“Singing Karma Karma. Does karma visit innocent person? Someone whose heart is pure and not ridden with evil? Hell No! Thief stole my goods then it’s my karma because I chose to mind my business. The real karma is coming to you for being evil and vile towards people. I blocked May because you wouldn’t let me like her pictures in peace. And she seems to enjoy the toxicity! So that pisses me off! As she cannot tell you to stop.”

Yul Edochie slams his brother over talk about his marriage | fab.ng

Nigerian actor Yul Edochie reacted with displeasure after hearing his brother Linc Edochie’s stance on his marriage to his second wife, Judy Austin.

Linc recently shared his perspective on his brother’s controversial marriage as a guest on Kanayo O Kanayo’s podcast, openly expressing his views.

He said,

“Everybody has the right to live as they shall but one man’s right to swing his hand ends where another man’s right to protect his nose begins. If a certain decision could hurt someone close to you, you must think about well.”

Linc firmly advised Yul to keep his marriage off social media. He emphasized how quickly public opinion can shift.

He cautioned his brother, who frequently posts about his wife online, to protect his relationship from the volatile reactions of others.

“Take your marriage away from social media, people need to realise this because the moment there is a glitch somewhere they’d bury you alive. This is normal and one thing I’ve learned is that if there’s something society loves more than a hero, it’s to see the hero fall, fail or die trying. Be mindful of what you put out there,” he advised.

The actor saw the clip of the interview, and he did not take his brother’s advice lightly. On November 6, 2024, he took to Instagram and slammed Linc, saying, “Ndi ‘keep your marriage off social media’ kwenu! Ndi ala.”

Yul Edochie attacked his brother, claiming that even though he hid his own marriage, it still failed.

He wrote,

“You wey hide your marriage inside house you no still divorce? Your wife no leave you? Psycos. Everybody na adviser for social media.”

“Your own life go dey scatter, you no fit fix am. But you sabi advise other people. If I post my wife one million times on my page how e take concern you? Na you buy me data abi na your wife I post? Idiots,” he added.
