Nigerian actor and content creator Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has cried out for help following an alleged spiritual attack that left him homeless.
He made the plea on Thursday during an interview with his colleague, Tony Montana.
Okemesi, who has been away from the screen for almost a year, disclosed that he has been suffering from a spiritual attack that left him paralysed.
While calling on his fans for help, the actor stated that he is now homeless and helpless.
Actor Tony Montana said, “I’m very sad seeing you in this condition. It is difficult for people, including your fans, to recognise you. What happened to you?”
Okemesi responded: “It was a spiritual attack. May God protect us from spiritual arrows. I was taken to Island Hospital, and people donated to foot my bills. But we realised it was beyond the hospital when my condition worsened. That was when the people with me searched for my relatives’ numbers on my phone.
“My senior brother in Osogbo asked them to bring me to him. He picked me up from the motor park and took me directly to an Islamic cleric for a solution. It was a serious attack. I became crippled. It was the prayers from people and God’s miracles that revived me. I couldn’t talk or stand. I began to walk with crutches a few hours after the Alfa gave me some spiritual items to use the same day I arrived.
“My brother was also attacked after I left the cleric’s place to stay with him for proper care. He was involved in an accident and also had a marital crisis with his wife. I had to leave his place and started staying on church premises. I don’t have a place to sleep, I don’t have anything. In fact, it’s difficult to feed. My fans, you are the only thing left for me. Please, I need your help to get back on my feet, especially with accommodation,” he stated.
Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.
Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.
He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.
“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.
“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”
Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.
“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.
The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.
“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.
His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
Popular Hausa political praise singer, Muhammadu Buhari, popularly known as Kosan Waka, has passed away on Sunday at the age of 47.
Kosan Waka was widely known for his political praise songs, particularly in support of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Mourning the death, Governor Yusuf expressed grief over the loss, describing it as a painful one not only to the entertainment industry but to the wider community.
In a condolence message issued by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor described the late singer as a patriotic son of Katsina State whose music made a significant impact on political communication, cultural promotion and public enlightenment in Kano and beyond.
According to the statement, Kosan Waka died on Sunday and was scheduled to be buried at 5 p.m. in his hometown of Tsanni village, Batagarawa Local Government Area of Katsina State.
