The founder of Godsent Foundation, Chief Osarodion Osagie, has congratulated the Oba of Benin Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II, on the celebration of 5th anniversary on the throne of his forefathers.

Dr. Osagie also rejoiced with the Oba for the return of some of the Benin artifacts looted to Europe and now scattered across different European countries, saying he was amongst the first youths who traveled to the Europe to join forces with His Royal Majesty on the call for the repatriation of the Benin bronze looted several years ago.

Ambassador Osagie who, in a SMS he made available to our reporter, said all Benin sons and daughters who desires the Benins to continually dominate across board, should join his Royal Majesty in the celebration, further noted that “this historic achievement is what keeps us together as a race.”

The message reads: “I’m one of the first persons who promises myself that the Western world must return that which belongs to us as a kingdom that was looted the decades ago.

“I’m the first youth who traveled to Europe to join forces with our Royal Majesty requesting they return our treasure-the bronze cast is the trace of the Benins and securing this safe release, in spite of the humongous challenges, two out of the thousands of artefacts looted is now in their right place.

“The return of the two prized Benin artefacts recently handed over by Jesus College, Cambridge and the University of Aberdeen, both in Britain was made possible because of our Royal father’s determination. No doubt, this event has attracted increased global respect for the Great Benin Kingdom and your reign.

“Since the return of the artifacts has commenced, I personally look forward to more returns of looted artefacts from UK, Germany and other Countries directly to their original base. But if there is any further delays, I shall again do another trip from the United States of America to those places and push for it because I have done it before,” Dr. Osagie added.

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
