Olawale Babatunde Animashaun better known as Wale Poh Poh, head of presentation at the popular Max FM radio station and also the anchor of prime time show, Wetin Dey shares some experiences where his iconic deep voice has come to his rescue.

He went down memory lane on how his voice once saved him from being attacked by street boys in the United States of America.

“It’s a two-way thing when it comes to my voice. It has helped me out in times of trouble and I can also say I have had reasons to be embarrassed over it also. I recall it once saved me in the US.

“There was a time when I was in the US and I was at a bus stop… I just came out of the train and it was late and these bad guys were coming towards me. Immediately they got close to me and I spoke and that was all. They had to retreat because the voice they heard really got them scared”.

“My voice also commands respect, especially with police men. Once they stop me and I go like, ‘good evening, can I help you?’ They go like, ‘sorry sir! Dey go!’ (Laughs)”, he added.

Wale also talked about some embarrassing moments he’s had to deal with on account of his deep voice.

“One thing I must state is that I know I can’t do news. I did news once and my oga back then in Ray Power warned me never to do news again in my life. I think the most embarrassing one for me was a day we went clubbing and I came back about 4 or 4.30am in the morning; I was tired and about to sleep then my phone rang and when I picked the phone from my sleepy mode and I go like, ‘Hello…’ and the person was like, ‘blood of Jesus’ and hung up immediately (General Laughter). I must say that was really embarrassing.”

Nigerian comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has opened up about a traumatic relationship experience, where his lover left him despite his expensive acts of love.

Speaking in a recent livestream with TikToker Sandra Benede, Sabinus described love as “cruel,” stressing that he resonates with what TikTok star Peller is going through following his breakup with his girlfriend, Jarvis.

Sabinus explained that he has been in a similar situation with Peller, who has been throwing public tantrums and involved in a ghastly car accident following the heartbreak.

He recalled how a lady he gifted a range rover out of love later left him. The comedian said he regretted the decision.

He urged Nigerians not to be harsh on Peller, stressing that love can be cruel sometimes.

“Jarvis has finished Peller. I have been in Peller’s situation before. Love is cruel. I once gifted a girl Range Rover because of love. She later left me. I regretted it. So nobody should blame Peller,” Sabinus said.

Recall that Sabinus confirmed that his marriage to his wife and mother of his child, Ciana Chapman, has ended during a TikTok livestream in December 2025.

Former world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has flown back to the United Kingdom (UK) following the horror crash that left him hospitalised and killed two of his close friends, Sun newspaper reported on Saturday night.

The boxer landed at London Stansted Airport in a private jet on Friday night and was ferried to his mansion, where he’ll continue his recuperation.

Joshua’s strength coach, Sina Ghami and his personal trainer, Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, both 36, died after the vehicle they were travelling in ploughed into a stationary truck near the Sagamu axis of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Monday.

Joshua, 36, had to be pulled from the mangled wreckage but fortunately only sustained minor injuries in the crash.

This comes as there were reports that the funerals of Joshua’s friends will be held today at a mosque in London.

Family and friends have been invited to a “janaza prayer service” – an Islamic prayer – and funeral of Ghami and Ayodele in the morning.

Joshua is undecided as to whether he will attend the funeral, out of fear that his presence could cause a “circus”.

A source said: “Anthony wants to go to the funeral but he hasn’t decided yet, he’s mindful that his presence could cause a circus and overshadow the funeral for the family of his two friends.”
