I was just shouting ‘God, I’ll make it, I’ll make it – Christabel Egbenya shares with Kemi Filani her first labour room experience
Newly married Nollywood actress, Christabel Egbenya has shared her motherhood journey and some changes that she has encountered since she had her first child a few weeks ago.
In an interview with Kemi Filani, the actress who married one of her fans also listed some lessons motherhood journey has taught her.
A whole lot has changed since I had my baby. Now, I really know what motherhood is all about.
A lot of things changed about me, about life, the way I reason, the way I see things has automatically changed.
What lessons has motherhood taught you?
Bringing another soul is something else. It has taught me a whole lot of lessons. Christabel has changed. Ever since I had my baby, my mentality, my reasoning has changed.
My world, the ‘baby girl’ life and everything else, changed for now, I think till after having all my kids.
You know you have to give your children time, you have to check up on them, you have to take care of them.
Even if you have nannies, you won’t be comfortable. You’d still want to show them that mother’s love even if you have a lot of people taking care of them. That bond is something else, you just don’t know how to explain it.
Did you have any funny or embarrassing labour room experience?
When it comes to labour room (laughs). If you were there, you will know not believe it’s the same Christabel talking with you now. It was not funny at all. The painful experience is not something I can explain. The only thing I can remember I was saying was ‘God’, that was the only thing I shouted throughout and when I was asked to push, I said one funny thing which I don’t want to say now. I was just like, “God, I’ll make it, I’ll make it.”
I just pushed twice and my baby came out but the pain wasn’t funny.
What do you love most about her daddy?
About her daddy, OMG! He is the best man I’ve ever come across in this world. He’s just a lovely, kind soul, humble, gentle, I’m just blessed to have him.
All the time I waited for the right one, God eventually have me someone very nice. My mother-inlaw and entire family, also nice.
I’m at peace with him and comfortable. He’s such a lovely soul. He’s a good father, my best friend and he respects me so much such that he puts me first before everything else.
Do you feel fulfilled as a mother?
Yes, I feel so fulfilled as a mother. One thing I’ve always wanted in life is to have my own kids because I love children.
How many more kids would you love to have?
If you’ve watched me so far, you’d know that I dont don’t joke with kids. I love children so much. So, I’ve always prayed to have my kids and now, God has blessed me immediately with a bouncing baby girl and I’ve always wanted to have a baby girl first because I know that baby girls will always help me.
My girl will help me to take care of her brothers and God blessed me immediately with her.
By the grace of God, I wish to have two more which will make them three but according to my husband, he wants us to have three more but the experience! Either way, by the grace of God. Three more but two more for me but my husband has been begging me to have three more. By the grace of God, we will.
What kind of movie roles will you reject now because of your status?
I don’t think I’m rejecting any role because my husband loves movies so much. Normally, I don’t do bad roles in the industry, I just do normal movies. We don’t actually do all those kissing, rubbing, and everything in Nigerian movies. We don’t do it anymore. So, I’m rejecting any role, I’ll still be acting. I’ve even started acting. I did a movie recently but I didn’t show anybody. I didn’t let people know that I’ve started working. I just want my baby to come up small so I can start shooting again because you know one has to travel around. So, she can be strong a little bit and this is my first child, I have to give her time.
I’d start mine too and I’d be producing too. My husband is also in support of me working for people and doing my movies because he loves movies. He was actually my fan before we got married.
Popular Nigerian disc jockey and Manchester United fan, DJ Cuppy, has revealed that she doesn’t watch football matches any longer.
Cuppy, who is well-known to be a supporter of the red side of Manchester, disclosed this on her X page recently.
She wrote, “FYI [for your information]—I no longer watch football,” attaching a sad emoji at the end.
The tweet has since garnered viral reactions with many alluding that Cuppy‘s decision to stop watching football is not unconnected from United’s current dip in form.
@symplyDAPO wrote: “Ur team is finish, so we understand.”
@Waltskillsfc said: “You carry bad luck to man-united.”
@dotboyswag10: “Just announce that you are no longer a Manchester United fan.”
@rilwan_ola01: “Please denounce Manchester United 🙏🙏🙏. Since you joined from arsenal , we have turned to old arsenal while arsenal turned to old man utd .
Thanks cuppy”
Recall DJ Cuppy was an avid fan of Premier League side Arsenal but switched to rivals Manchester United in 2020 after Arsenal’s poor run of form.
Reality star Angel Smith found herself at the receiving end of offensive comments on Twitter, leading to her deactivating her account.
A Twitter user identified as Pharoah Elroy compared Angel to the crossdresser James Brown and chef Hilda Baci.
Angel had shared moments from her recent hangout with her boyfriend Soma, posting videos and pictures on her Twitter page.
However, the celebratory mood turned sour when a troll, later identified as Pharoah Elroy, left a derogatory comment in the post’s comment section.
The troll’s comment read, “You look like a crossbreed of James Brown and Hilda Baci.”
This insensitive comparison prompted a negative response from Angel’s followers, and it appears the comment had a significant impact on her.
As a result of the online harassment, Angel Smith took the drastic step of deactivating her Twitter account.
The 10th prosecution witness in the trial of Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, Dein Whyte, an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission revealed to Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday, how Visa, a card payment platform, detected fraudulent transactions linked to one of the credit card details found on the singer’s device.
This was made known in a statement shared by the agency on their Facebook page on Friday.
The witness, Whyte, led by the prosecution counsel, Bilikisu Buhari, said, “As part of the findings from the investigation, forensic analysis revealed that malicious programmes used to illegally obtain credit card information were found on the device recovered from the defendant upon his arrest.” These programmes facilitated card non-present transactions.
The investigator also identified tools on the device that disguised the user’s active location when connected to the internet.
Whyte elaborated, saying, “Tools used to verify the validity, active state, and accuracy of credit card credentials, as well as the region of the issuer of that card, were discovered on the defendant’s device. The analysis further revealed the websites accessed on the defendant’s computer, including sites where credit card information is illegally traded.”
The witness disclosed that both the phone and laptop recovered from Naira Marley were registered with his credentials, name, and email address. Investigations revealed that the singer exchanged credit card details with other individuals. Notably, one card reported fraudulent usage by Visa. Whyte clarified that the card details on the defendant’s device did not belong to him and were not issued by any financial institution.
Under cross-examination by the defendant’s counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, Whyte confirmed that a Visa investigation confirmed the card had been flagged for fraudulent transactions. However, Visa did not directly link the credit card fraud to the defendant’s device, emphasizing that Visa is a payment platform, not a telecommunication company.
Justice Oweibo adjourned the case to March 6 and 7, 2024, for the continuation of the trial.
Naira Marley is facing an 11-count charge, including conspiracy and credit card fraud, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
