During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the actress revealed that her husband is suffering from dementia, a degenerative disease of the brain.

“He is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is known as dementia with lewy body, it is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson type of disease, it affects the brain and affects the person,…first time i’m saying this publicly….that is what we have been dealing…but the thing is, it is hard on him because he doesn’t understand what is going on and it is hard on us family members as well…we have gone through it over the past couple of years but we thank God….
We have gone through some times and situations recently that I wish i had the old you here so i don’t battle these times on my own but we are grateful for the moment of clarity ….I miss the times we work together!”

May D disclosed that after relocating to Sweden, he became a “house husband,” staying at home to take care of their child while his wife worked.

Despite not holding a traditional job, he earned more from his music shows than his wife did in her working career.

“I went to Sweden for a show but decided to settle down there since my girlfriend was Swedish. I was a house husband. What do you want me to do? I should go and work?” he explained.

“My wife was working but when I go for a show, I make five times what she earns in a month. I was a house husband but I was comfortable. I had my baby, my wife can’t be the one taking care of the baby and working at the same time.”

However, the marriage came to an end during the COVID-19 lockdown. May D explained that he was stuck in Nigeria at the time, which led to his wife filing for divorce.

“We got divorced during COVID-19 because I got stuck in Nigeria. That was how she divorced me. You know they think different from us,” he said.

May D’s candid revelation sheds light on the challenges faced in international relationships, particularly during the pandemic, and provides a glimpse into his life as both a father and a musician.

Speed Darlington bail granted

Controversial singer Speed Darlington has been granted bail by an Abuja court after police arraigned him following public pressure

 

Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been granted bail by an Abuja court after the Nigeria Police Force arraigned him following public and legal pressure.

Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, announced the development on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Police finally arraigns Speed Darlington in court. Bail application moved and granted. We are trying to perfect same.”

Although details of the bail remain undisclosed, this marks a significant turn in the singer’s legal saga. The case arose after Okoye’s arrest and detention, reportedly linked to his allegations against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy and Sean Combs (P. Diddy).

Okoye had earlier petitioned Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Dasuki Galadanchi of the Force Intelligence Bureau in Abuja, challenging his continued detention.

In the petition, he urged compliance with a December 23, 2024, court order issued by Justice M.S. Liman. The order directed the police to either arraign him within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.

The police ultimately complied by arraigning him, leading to the bail ruling. Legal experts see this as a pivotal case underscoring the importance of upholding judicial orders and ensuring accountability in law enforcement practices.

The case has drawn public attention, highlighting the ongoing dialogue about individual rights and the rule of law in Nigeria. Further updates on the details of Speed Darlington’s bail are awaited as his legal team works to finalise the process.
