Comedian Ijoba Lande’s wife, Darasimi, popularly called Dara, has tendered a public apology over alleged infidelity.

Dara made the apology in an interview on Talk to B podcast on Saturday.

She said, “Ijoba Lande, don’t be upset with me. I’m also begging everybody that I have disappointed and Nigerians all over the world. This is not who I am, but I did not pray to make such mistake again. And I will never walk close to it again.

“I beg you in the name of God, I’m so sorry, I’m very sorry”.

Her apology came after actor Baba Tee and Mary Gold begged Lande for forgiveness.

Ijoba Lande recently called out Nollywood actor, Baba Tee and other colleagues for sleeping with his wife, Dara.

Baba Tee who initially denied the accusation, later admitted to having (quickie) a short sexual experience with Dara. He also tendered a public apology to Lande.

Isaac Fayose has shared his thoughts on the ongoing controversy involving Afrobeats singer Asake and his ailing father.

In a show of generosity, he also pledged a cash donation of N500,000 to support the elderly man, who is reportedly battling a stroke.

The situation gained public attention after a viral video surfaced in which Asake’s father accused his son of neglect. In response, the Lonely at the Top crooner defended himself, stating that despite his efforts to support his father, it was never enough.

Reacting to the drama, Fayose urged Asake to approach the issue with compassion while advising men to plan for old age rather than depending entirely on their children. He pointed out that, in many cases, fathers end up alone, especially if the mother’s influence turns the children against them.

“Once you become a father, it’s important to work hard and secure your future so you don’t become dependent in old age. Many children are closer to their mothers, leaving fathers isolated. If you’re lucky to have a mother who champions you in front of your kids, then you’re fortunate,” Fayose remarked.

Addressing Asake directly, he advised: “Forget whatever your mother said and take care of your father. You only have one father, and no matter the circumstances, he deserves your support. Temper justice with mercy.”

In addition to his advice, Fayose extended financial assistance to Asake’s father, requesting his account details to transfer N500,000. Sharing the video online, he wrote:

@asakemusic father’s account number so I can send him 500K. The man is not looking too good. Man no be God.”

The development has sparked widespread debate, with many urging Asake to reconcile with his father and provide the necessary care he needs. Meanwhile, Fayose’s intervention has been praised as an act of kindness, highlighting the importance of family responsibility regardless of past grievances.

Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has responded to a viral video of a man who claims to be his father and has accused him of neglect.

The man, identified as Fatai Odunsi, tearfully appealed for financial assistance after suffering from a stroke.

In the video, he alleged that Asake had abandoned him, stating that the last time they saw each other was in March 2022 when his illness began.

Calling on Nigerians for help with his medical treatment, Odunsi said, “Good day everyone, I’m the one that gave birth to Ahmed Asake the singer.

“The last time I set my eyes on him was March 2022 when my sickness started. If I called Asake, he won’t pick. Please help me, it is your help that I need.”

Amid the viral video, Asake took to social media seemingly addressing the situation through a song.

The singer, who reportedly parted ways with Olamide’s YBNL record label, claimed his father was attempting to manipulate him despite his generosity.

Singing in Yoruba, he expressed, “You can’t please the world. Whatever you do, do it for God and always remember the day you’ll die and meet your God. My people, can you see? Even my father wants to cajole me. I used to press money for him and I do it with one mind. No one can quench my fire. God is the one that is taking me ahead in life.”

Asake’s response has since sparked mixed reactions among fans and social media users.
