In other news, Big Brother Naija reality star, Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, simply known as Doyin, has said she only hears about the hardship in the country but hasn’t experienced it first hand.
She claimed that she doesn’t know the price of commodities, stressing that her domestic staff shops for her.
Doyin featured on a recent podcast interview with YouTuber, Olufemi Daniel. She said in part:
“I am the most detached Nigerian you can ever meet. I don’t even know what is happening. I don’t know the price of anything. I don’t go to the market. I send my chef and they don’t tell me what the price is.”
“I hear there’s hardship in the country and I sympathise with Nigerians. I’m sure that it’s tough. I know because wigs are more expensive. Makeup, nails, cars, houses, everything is more expensive. Those things I know. But I’m not really into tomatoes.. I’m sure food is expensive.

May Edochie’s laywer explains her co-parenting with Yul, clarifies Judy Austin’s role

Emeka Ugwuonye, the legal representative of May Edochie, has addressed the co-parenting arrangement between May Edochie and her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.
In a recent Instagram post, Ugwuonye emphasised that co-parenting is not just a moral obligation but a legal requirement for the estranged couple, given their shared children.
According to the lawyer, effective co-parenting demands cooperation and communication between May and Yul Edochie, despite their personal differences.
He revealed that the couple is co parenting effectively, stating that Yul is providing financial support for the children’s education and having unrestricted access to them.
Ugwuonye attributed the negative online reactions to ignorance about what co-parenting entails, stressing that both May and Yul have no choice but to work together for the sake of their children, as it is a legal requirement.
He also addressed speculations about Judy Austin’s involvement in the children’s lives, stating that she has no legal relationship with them currently. However, if she marries Yul, she would become the children’s stepmother.
The lawyer concluded by dismissing public opinion as irrelevant, emphasising that the law governs co-parenting arrangements, not public perception.
“Yes, May and Yul have children together. They will co-parent. Why is that driving anybody crazy? Yul and May are already co-parenting right now, that is the only way it can work. Yul is contributing to the children’s school fees and supporting them as well, so he has unlimited access to the kids. That is what co-parenting entails. If they do not speak to each other, they cannot co-parent effectively.
“Because many of the supporters on both sides are ignorant, they do not understand the fact that both May and Yul have no other choice over the matter: they have to co-parent.
“Now, as for Judy, she is not in any legal relationship with May’s children. There is no basis for any cooperation between May and Judy. However, if Judy eventually gets married to Yul, that will make her a stepmother to May’s children with Yul.”
