While in South Africa to promote her book ”On Becoming”, Toke Makinwa was interviewed on ”Real Talk With Anele” and while answering questions about her failed marriage, she described Maje as a great guy.

She said,

“I have no regrets because I feel like everything happened the way it was supposed to happen for me to get to where I am now because if I did not get married, perhaps I’d be that girl who will always wonder what it felt like to be married to him.

He’s a great guy, we’re just not great people for each other.

Nollywood actress, Remi Surutu has taken to her Instagram page to pen an emotional tribute to her daughter, Ayomikun, who recently passed away from complications from sickle cell.

 

She wrote,

Dearest AYOMIKUN,

As a mother and child, it is natural we share both physical and abstract tours, laughter, pain and compliments; but we honestly shared a bond I cannot find a most appropriate adjective for it yet.

As your friend, It has never been in my intentions to see you go through any form of pain. But as human, pain can emanate from any form and when your pain began, I have always sought God’s favour to transfer your pains so you will be fully lively as you want. And in your pain, you were strong for us. We went everywhere together.

You were my immediate younger sister and remain one of the best things that ever happened to me. My confidante. You have never forsaken me or your sister. Dupe and Demilade will miss you.

I will keep your memories forever; and in all honesty, I can only console myself with the belief that I will see you again my beautiful, precious daughter.

Please rest well till we meet to part no more my love. My prayers and affection for you will be eternal.

I have said thank you to all that are helping to give you a lasting resting place.

Ayomikun was laid to rest on July 6, 2017. May her soul continue to rest in perfect peace.

American actress, Gabrielle Union, took to her Instagram account on Fathers Day to share a younger photo of her dad and an emotional story about how her father was once harrassed by cops while he was going to work.

Read her post below;
“My Dad is about 19 in this picture & fully believed in the American dream. That if you just work hard & do the right thing, serve your country, marry a nice girl, you will be considered special, different. So he joined the Army, got out & married a nice girl and went to work and started a family. Both my parents went to college at night & cleaned the daycare late at night in exchange for free childcare. They moved to a “good neighborhood” & slowly earned college degrees & got promoted. All the while raising their 3 girls as well as other kids who needed homes and guidance. He also coached our sports teams, mentored kids, officiated games… and none of it mattered.
On his way to work one morning driving out of our perfectly planned suburban community in his Mercedes and rocking a tailored 3 piece suit, my father was stopped, pulled out of his car in front of the entire neighborhood and put spread eagle on the ground with guns pointed at him. They said a convict had just escaped from a nearby jail. The guy they were looking for was 20. My dad was balding in his 40s. When I see this picture of my father I cannot help but think of #PhilandoCastile a good man who did all the right things and was a father figure to so many…and none of it mattered. On this day and every day know that we are not threatening by birth. Do not demonize our breath. We are not to be feared. Our lives, our children, our love… IT MATTERS! We matter. #BlackLivesMatter”
