Blaqbonez criticises Nigeria’s porn website ban, calling it a sign of misplaced priorities, and defends adult content in a post on X

On Tuesday, the House instructed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the country’s telecoms regulator, to shut down access to adult websites nationwide, sparking a wave of reactions from the public.

Taking to social media platform X, Blaqbonez expressed his discontent with the ban, suggesting that it reflected misplaced priorities.

Using popular adult film star Destiny Mira as an example, the rapper argued that adult films provide a form of entertainment that helps people cope with difficult moments in their lives.

“This country is funny. Destiny Mira, who helps us through tough times, and they want to ban her,” Blaqbonez wrote, sarcastically defending the value of adult content in light of the ban.

Blaqbonez’s post quickly gained attention, with many fans and followers joining the conversation, debating whether the government’s move was justified or if it was an overreach.

While some supported the rapper’s sentiment, others pointed out concerns about the negative impact of pornography on society.

The Nigerian government’s decision to block access to adult content has sparked a wider debate about censorship, personal freedoms, and the role of digital content in the country’s cultural landscape.

Lola Fanimokun denies affair allegations

Nollywood actress Lola Fanimokun strongly denies affair claims with Oluwadolarz, dismissing accusations from his ex-fiancée Ifeluv

 

In a strongly-worded statement, Nollywood actress Lola Fanimokun has fervently denied allegations of an illicit affair with popular content creator Oluwadolarz.

The claims were made by Ifeluv, Oluwadolarz’s now-ex-fiancée, who accused Lola of hiding in his bathroom during a recent visit, suggesting a romantic involvement between the two.

The allegations escalated when Ifeluv also accused Lola of having undergone multiple abortions for Oluwadolarz. These claims have sparked a wave of controversy across social media, with many questioning the veracity of Ifeluv’s accusations.

In a public statement issued on Wednesday, Lola responded directly to the allegations, calling them “nonsense” and urging Ifeluv to focus on resolving her own personal issues instead of dragging her into the drama.

Lola made it clear that she would not engage in a public dispute, but felt compelled to defend herself for the sake of her reputation, her friends, and her family.

“I honestly wasn’t going to address this because I have a clear conscience, but for the sake of my friends and family and most especially my brand, I’d like to address these preposterous allegations that are flying around,” Lola said.

“I like to think I’m a very great actress (if I do say so myself), so I don’t have to sleep around for roles, my talent literally speaks for itself.”

Addressing the specific accusation regarding the bathroom incident, Lola explained that she had simply finished shooting a content video behind Oluwadolarz’s studio and needed to clean up.

She clarified that the bathroom in question was actually that of Oluwadolarz’s younger sister, not a private bathroom as Ifeluv had suggested. She expressed disbelief that this key detail had been conveniently left out of Ifeluv’s account.

Lola further dismissed the claims about multiple abortions as “petty” and an attempt to manipulate public opinion. She stated, “Accusing me of sleeping with your fiancé is one thing, lying about multiple abortions just to evoke sympathy is another ball game entirely! It’s extremely petty.”

She also expressed her disappointment in Ifeluv, someone she had once respected, for airing what she described as “pure assumption and misinformation” online. Lola encouraged Ifeluv to focus her energy on addressing her own relationship issues, rather than trying to involve her in the ongoing drama.

“If you choose to air your family’s dirty laundry on the internet, that’s absolutely fine, but please don’t project your insecurities on me and drag me into this mess,” Lola concluded.

This latest public fallout follows a series of personal and professional challenges for Oluwadolarz, who has recently confirmed the end of his relationship with Ifeluv and is now navigating the aftermath of their breakup.
