Ekiti Monarch Condoles with Mohbad's Father. .....promises to support Him

By Jumoke Owoola 

The Olukere of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Ganiyu Ayodele Obasoyin has condoled with Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Global Artiste ,  Mohbad, popularly known as Ilerioluwa Promise Oladimeji  Aloba. 

    The  Oba who was at the Oke Eletu, in Ikorodu-Lagos, the residence of the Alobas expressed sadness over the untimely death of the young popular and talented star , he then  prayed that God should dry the tears of the bereaved and let the light shines again according to the Artiste's nickname, Imole , meaning light.

     Going further,  Oba Ganiyu Ayodele Obasoyin who travelled all the way from Ikere Ekiti the home town of Mohbad , said that it's a pity that a  promising and talented Artiste just died like that . But in everything as a Christian, there is always a way to be thankful to God.

   " Ikere Ekiti mounrs him, like wise the whole state  and the entire world. Though I never got to know he sang some of the songs I listened to in the radio , I was amazed to know the truth after his death . Yes , his death is painful and untimely but God made  him to be  larger than life in death . We mourn him, we pray for the heart to bear the loss amongst his family and admirers. 

   " Coming here is to showcase that in Ekiti state , we share both joy and sadness together in our culture " 

    Going further , the Olukere of Ikere who was accompanied by some of his Chiefs  supported the move by Mr. Joseph Aloba to have the DNA of his grandson done.

   " I am in support of the move by the Aloba family to have Liam's DNA done. It's not a big deal and nothing is unusual about it. The mother of the child should even be proud and eager to do so putting in mind what has been said in the media on this  particular issue.

   " I will be ready to support Mr

 Aloba in any capacity needed. Truly , we don't glorified bastards in Ikere Ekiti and in Ekiti state in general , but, the onus is to differentiate the grain from the shaft.

    " If the DNA confirmed that the Boy is of Mohbad, we will roll out drums to wellcome him  home  in a grand style. And if it's not of Mohbad, it's not the end of the world. At least , the real father will be able to embrace his son early on in life.

     " It's a pity that we at home is getting to know of the Ekiti blood in Mohbad, we will use this opportunity to bring the Father and sibblings closer home. God Almighty will console the family " Oba Ganiyu Ayodele Obasoyin concluded.

     Paying host to the Oba of his town, the Olukere of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Ganiyu Ayodele Obasoyin who paid him a condolence visit,  Mr. Aloba  who was highly appreciative of the royal visit thanked the Kabiyesi for deeming it fit to reach out to him all the way from Ikere Ekiti,his home town despite the long distance ,explained  that no DNA has been carried   out on his grandson as widely circulated in the media days back.

    " Nobody has done any DNA on Liam my grandson. We all woke up recently   to see the widely circulated rumour  in the media. I want everyone to disregard it.   It is simply the handiwork of mischievous individuals to distract the major issue on ground and I wouldn't close my eyes for anyone to create wrong impression.

 Mohbad died as Aloba, he lived as Aloba ; whatever will make his name be alive in positive light will always be embraced by me. I know him because we were very close and I believe he will be happy where ever he is that his son remains his son. He will be sad if another person's child is given to him too. This is the simple arithmetic"

   Continuing, Mohbad's Father who was cladded in a  white attire depicting him as a Clergy Man opined further that Mohbad never introduced any child to him except Liam who is now at the center of controversy. And if there is controversy from left and right , emotions should be put asides to look out for the truth .

   " The uproar from the global world on my  grandson's paternity and the  need to set the  records straight is the reason for wanting the  DNA done so that there won't be any chaos in the future.   Postponing the DNA is like sitting on the keg of a gunpowder. We want peace and truth .

     " I keep saying that Liam is the only Grandson introduced to me by Mohbad and I showed my grandson love needed from loving grandpa.

 Infact , 3 days before his untimely death, I was in his home. The little Child sat on my leg as Mohbad and I had lunch together. After the lunch , Mohbad used his phone camera to snap me and the Baby . It's a pity fate is playing bad game on me.

 You can see I love him as my grandson, but now that tongues are wagging and the need to avert future chaos, as well as the need to put all behind by doing the DNA when needed , I believe we must do it . If he is my grandson, I will be more than happy because in him I will have a new Mohbad ; my late  son , my gist partner and brother.

" And if he is not of my son's blood , I will know that God will find a better way to console me.       " Any DNA to be conducted won't be that of mere rumour  or social media affair. My representatives and lawyer will be there . We will do it at least in 3 different  places and compare the notes together to fathom the whole  truth out. We love children where I come from, but we say no to bastards because of future occurrences " Mr Aloba said amidst pains of losing a promisng young Son.

The Olukere of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Ganiyu Ayodele Obasoyin remains the first first distinguished personality from Ekiti state to visit Mohbad's family.

Before Another Mohbad Happens: Chef Dami cries out over threat to life by Pastor who helped her cook-a-thon

The Ekiti Chef became a viral sensation in June 2023 for participating in a “cook-a-thon” organised by the pastor of her church Adegoke Jeremiah, aka Billion Dollars Prophet.

Chef Dami in an earlier post on Instagram has alleged that certain “people of God” are threatening her life. She has now named her pastor, Prophet Adegoke Jeremiah in a follow-up post. 

Chef Dami added that she would be in Lagos to grant an interview “to let everything out”. However, she warned that if anything happens to her, her pastor should be held responsible.

Polyandry: 5 countries where women could marry more than one wife

By Dansu Peter 

With no doubt, most countries only allow monogamous and polygamous marriages, a few cultures around the world allow polyandry, which allows a woman to marry more than one man.

It is not uncommon for men to have more than one wife, and many cultural practices and religions around the world support the practice.

It is, however, unusual to hear of a woman who has multiple husbands. Polyandry is a type of polygamy in which a woman has two or more husbands at once.

Here is a list of countries that practice polyandry;

1. China

In modern day China, Tibet is a region covering much of the Tibetan Plateau. It is the traditional homeland of the Tibetan people as well as some other ethnic groups such as Monpa, Tamang, Qiang, Sherpa, and Lhoba peoples and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese and Hui people.

Tibet people in the past, practiced fraternal polyandry. The woman in the scenario might not tell the husband which child belongs to whom in order not to create any problems or issues in their family.

However, the Tibet Autonomous Region government in 1981 ceased to tolerate new polyandry marriages under family law.

It is now illegal to practise such in Tibet but research has shown that it still happens in the rural areas.

Currently, polyandry is present in all Tibetan areas, but particularly common in some rural regions of Tsang and Kham that are faced with extreme living conditions.

A 2008 study of several villages in Xigaze and Qamdo prefectures found that 20-50% of the families were polyandric, with the majority having two husbands. For some remote settlements, the number was as high as 90%. Polyandry is very rare among urban residents or non-agricultural households.

2. Nepal

Nepal is a landlocked South Asian country. It is primarily located in the Himalayas, but it also includes portions of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.

Polygamy has been officially prohibited in Nepal since 1963, but people in the Humla, Dolpa, and Kosi regions value their traditions far more than the law. There are entire villages of polyandrous families here.

This type of marriage is also common among tribes in Nepal’s north and north-east, including the Bhote, Sherpa, Newbie, and others.

3. Gabon

Both men and women can join in polygamous marriage with the other gender under Gabonese law. In practice, the right to multiple spouses is reserved for men only.

In may 2021, a Gabonese woman showed off her seven husbands and explained how she manages to live with them without having issues

4. India

Polyandry is practiced by Paharis in the Jaunsarbawar region of North India, and a minority of people in Kinnaur, Himachal, justify and practice it.

As descendants of the Pachi Pandavas (five brothers who were husbands to a woman named Draupadi daughter of King Panchala), they believe they have to carry on the tradition. Polyandry is also practiced by the Toda tribe of Nilgiris, the Najanad Vellala of Travancore, and some Nair caste systems in South India.

In 1988, Tibet University conducted a survey of 753 Tibetan families and discovered that 13% practiced polyandry.

5. Kenya

While polyandry isn’t explicitly prohibited or forbidden under the law in Kenya, it is a common practice. Polyandry marriage was first reported in Kenya in 2013, when two men decided to marry a woman they both adored.

The bride couldn’t decide which man she wanted, so it was a good excuse to marry all three of them. There have also been reports of polyandry among Kenya’s Massai people.

In August 2013, two Kenyan men entered into an agreement to marry a woman with whom they had both been having an affair.

Blessing Karami: The beautiful missing university lady found dead in Abuja

By Dansu Peter 

A NOUN student, Blessing Karami, a university student declared missing few days ago has been found dead in Abuja, an emerging report according The Whistler says 

The family of the victim broke the news on Wednesday evening, the reporter says. 

The deceased who was a student of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), was declared missing after leaving her place of work in Garki, Abuja.

Meanwhile, the police had arrested one Aminu, the boyfriend to the deceased who was questioned regarding her disappearance.

Reports have it that the 26-year-old Blessing went missing after leaving her place of work before time with the office key, which was said to be usual.

According to The Whistler, it correspondent had visited the Divisional Police Headquarters, Durumi, on Wednesday morning where Aminu was being held.

Karami was also at the station explaining to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), that on Tuesday evening when he left the station, he received a strange call giving details about the sister’s body but it turned out to be false.

“The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to office the day she went missing,” the brother had explained to the police.

According to Karami, after he kept trying to contact the DPO and it was not going through, he had to go to the police station at Karmo, but upon reaching there with a group of policemen, the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing locations until they got tired and left.

In a follow up call later to Karami, he confirmed to THE WHISTLER that his sister has truly died.

“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental people to come and help us pack.

“We cannot travel with it. We just have to bury it here. It seems she died for days due to the nature of the decomposition,” Karami said sadly while trying to sound strong.

Attempts to speak with the FCT Police command were unsuccessful.

Also Hope Jonathan, one of the police officers that handled the case at Durumi police station, before it was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Development, could not be reached as of press time.

Meet Olivia Bentley, a sex therapist who rescues marriages by sleeping with troubled clients

By Dansu Peter 

Olivia Bentley is a 46-year-old sex therapist from Boise, Idaho, in the United States. Olivia, however, is not your typical therapist; she infuses her work with a distinctive perspective that is creating a stir in the intimacy and relationship communities.

Olivia, who has been in the sex industry for 15 years, told the New York Post that she uses her wealth of knowledge and experience to save countless marriages.

Her unorthodox methods include offering emotional support, hosting intimate one-to-three-hour sessions where she imparts saucy tips, and, believe it or not, even jumping into bed with clients for some hands-on education.

While some may raise their eyebrows at her methods, Olivia claims to have saved hundreds of marriages with her sex therapy. One of the key elements of Olivia’s philosophy is that it’s “unfair” for women to get married and neglect their husbands’ sexual needs
