  Following a viral video that showed Angela Okorie tying the knot with a young lover, the actress has reacted and debunked the claims. Recall that  supposed wedding photos of the actress popped  up on the internet not too long ago. Angela Okorie made the speculation go on for a while in order to hype her music video - which it turned out to be before coming out today to say the photos are an extract from her new music video. She further labelled bloggers as incompetent people who don’t do their work well. Her caption read; “You see why I said some of you need your brain examined. I wanted a wedding music video shoot, and I achieved it 💯🥂. You guys took up the story and that shows how incompetent you are with your job. She then made some sentences about when she was shot. She continued saying; Don’t get it twisted, people as usual carried fake gist as they were instructed, without finding out the real source. Well, thank you for your wishes.

Self-acclaimed "King of feminism", Solomon Buchi has denounced the movement and he gave reasons for his action.   Solomon Buchi has been a vocal feminist on Instagram and Twitter for years. He recently caused an uproar when he referred to himself as the "King of feminism".    Today, he announced that he no longer identifies with the "secular feminist institution" because of what "feminism has evolved into" and because it doesn't "corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me".   He also apologized to anyone he might have offended in the phase of his "passionate feminist advocacy."   He wrote: "From today, I cease to identify with the secular feminist institution. As a Christian, my journey as a passionate feminist was a tad labyrinthine because for what feminism has evolved into; some of the beliefs do not corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me.   "From sexual liberation to LGBTQ to prostitution and a fe...
