Actor Joseph Benjamin Divorces Wife

The actor finally opened up on his marriage status in an interview on Reel Radio yesterday.

When asked about his marriage status, he said: “About my marriage, it has been going through crisis which I prefer not to talk about that is why I have kept it away from the public to wave off controversies. I am no longer in my marriage; we are separated. I have two wonderful children – a ten year old daughter and a seven year old son. They are an integral part of my life; their mum and I have a very good arrangement on how to balance their lives to make sure that psychologically they are stable and unaffected by our separation.”

Who Impregnated Mzbel?

Ghanaians are beginning to ask questions about the person responsible for controversial musician Mzbel’s pregnancy after it became clear that she was indeed pregnant.

When news broke that the musician was pregnant, she denied it vehemently but from all indications, the singer is very pregnant, although the question of who impregnated her is still unanswered.

Several news reports said a certain Maxwell Mensah was responsible for Mzbel’s pregnancy and that Maxwell was believed to be her manager.

Though not proven beyond doubt, the same Maxwell is also reported to be dating actress Nana Ama McBrown.

Although Mzbel is not under any obligation to tell the whole world who impregnated her, her silence is heightening speculations on who might be responsible.

Already, she has a handsome son in his early teens.

Perhaps, after delivery, the child’s father would not be hidden from the public any more.

CAN Slams Kukah, Bakare Over Comments on Ayo's Private Jet Gift

Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has condemned comments credited to the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah and Pastor Tunde Bakare, who claimed that acquisition of private jets by religious leaders diminishes moral voices of the church in the war against corruption and are therefore calling for a revolution in the Church of God.

Speaking in a telephone interview, National Director of Research, Planning and Strategy, Elder Sunday Oibe, urged the Catholic bishop and the former vice presidential candidate of CPC, that if they have anything against the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, they should come out and say so, and not hide under the cloak of the gift of a jet to attack the CAN president.

Oibe, who doubles as the Public Relations Officer of Northern CAN, said he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

He said: “If there is any clergyman in the country whose constituency is government, it is Bishop Kukah, who served every government in power in the last decade.

“He thinks people have forgotten in a hurry how he served in Obasanjo’s government and turned round to attack the former president, or his fraternity with the former Governor James Ibori and his Rivers State counterpart, Peter Odili.”
