Her announcement is coming weeks after she sparked pregnancy rumour in a TikTok video she released on the platform which she also shared on her Instagram stories.

In the video, the singer who donned an off-white sweatshirt and a pair of black three-quarter tights was seen dancing and in the process, seemed to flaunt what appeared to be a bulging baby bump. While dancing, she was also seen touching what appears to be a baby bump tenderly.

When asked by On-Air Personality, Osi Suave, about the ring on her finger, Seyi Shay responded, “Some guy gave it to me and said hey, will you marry me? It’s going nice, I’m being for real, these are diamonds, baby! Real diamonds!”

Osi asked if he was the man behind her glow and she said, “I had already evolved, I was already glowing before I met the guy so he just added to the glow. It was like the ribbon on the package, I would not have said yes”

The 53-year-old singer was forced to scrap the shows by ‘severe and persistent muscle spasms,’ according to a press release posted to her website.

She herself said: ‘I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing.’

Singer Duncan Mighty Called Out For Failing to Make Refunds For a Show He Was Paid For in December

Twitter user identified as @jacksonpbn has publicly called out the popular singer, Duncan Mighty while accusing him of dodging a concert after receiving payments.

This is coming after the Port Harcourt Boy crooner some weeks back shared a photo of himself wrapped in bandages while revealing how he got involved in a ghastly motor accident.

The netizen who insisted that this is a method devised by the singer to withhold the money without discharging his duties disclosed that this has been the style of the artiste for some time now.

He also vowed to get back his money at all costs.

He wrote:

“I paid Duncan Mighty N3million for Nkporo Youths Unity Concert that held December 30 2021, and additional N630k for flight tickets. He didn’t show up for the concert. Next I heard was a picture of him wrapped in bandages claiming accident while holding his cell phone.

Duncan Mighty has become notorious for collecting money from show promoters and not showing up. He did that with a show in Uromi, Uyo and other places. I am not one who would want to deal with folks in the entertainment industry. Duncan should avoid my troubles and pay back NOW!”

In a follow-up tweet, he also wrote:

“So last night I went down to my basement to dance to Duncan Mighty’s song. I just wanted to show that much as I love his music, he cannot take my money on top of an agreement and just walk away and nothing happens. If that is his style, I am be the last he tries that stuff with.”

Al Shabab May Not Release Ighalo For AFCON

Odion Ighalo, Super Eagles striker, may not participate in the forthcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

An insider with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) told TheCable that Al Shabab, Ighalo’s Saudi Arabia Pro League side, have refused to allow him to link up with his international teammates.

Ighalo, who was the highest goal scorer at the 2019 AFCON, was on the scoresheet for his club in their 4-3 win over Al-Ahli Saudi on Saturday.

TheCable understands that the NFF is doing everything possible to ensure that Al Shabab allow Ighalo to join the three-time African champions on time for the African football showpiece.

“Because Ighalo is their highest goal scorer and he also scored in their game on Saturday, they do not want to release him,” the insider said.

“They do not want him to leave for the AFCON so that he can help them have a shot at winning the league this season.

“You know that he has netted 11 goals for them this season and they are second on the table with a hope of winning the league if they continue to win and Ighalo keeps scoring goals for them.

TheCable had earlier reported how Victor Osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis were replaced in the Super Eagles 28-man provisional list by Henry Onyekuru and Peter Olayinka respectively over controversial reasons.

“But I can assure you that NFF is doing everything possible to ensure that he is released. Because after Osimhen pulled out and Dennis too was not released by Watford, we can’t afford not to have Ighalo in the team,” the source added.

“It will be devastating for the Eagles if Al Shabab refused to allow him join the team for Cameroon.”

Pastor Fatoyinbo: Igbo Christians Very Stingy to God

Biodun Fatoyinbo, the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, popularly known as COZA, said the Igbo people are very stingy when it comes to donating to churches and the work of God.

Independent reported that Fatoyinbo disclosed this on Sunday during a sermon at his church in Abuja.

The cleric said that despite their large gear, it takes God for them to donate in church.

Fatoyinbo said, “The Igbo believe in God. It takes God for an Igbo guy to give. They have a large heart but -they believe you shouldn’t work their mind.

“Igbos are 90 percent Christians but no megachurch. You need to tear backgrounds to enter some testimonies. No Church with a Yoruba pastor takes more Igbo songs than COZA. Hustle is a curse! Are you a hustler?

“Some people find it hard to give because they hustled to get that money. In the name of Jesus, the hustle has ceased in your life”.
