T**e Makinwa Shuts Down Fresh Marriage Rumours During Her 40th Birthday Thanksgiving

T**e Makinwa is no stranger to the spotlight or to the sometimes exaggerated tales that come with it.

Recently, the internet was ablaze with rumours that the media personality had secretly tied the knot with entertainment mogul Farouk Umar at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island.

But, during her 40th birthday Thanksgiving party in Lagos, T**e swiftly put those speculations to rest.

While social media has a way of spinning simple gestures into grand narratives, this particular tale seemed to grow legs after a video surfaced of T**e and Farouk sharing what some dubbed "lovey-dovey" moments.

Clad in a white dress and with Farouk in traditional 'buba and sokoto,' the internet took the image and ran with it.

But in classic T**e fashion, she was quick to clear the air. “On Obasanjo’s internet, they said I got married to this guy. This guy is my best friend,” she stated with the candour that has become her trademark.

It’s obvious that people are often eager to jump to conclusions, and once again, the online world has gotten ahead of itself.

Farouk, as she clarified, is not her new husband but a close friend who has been there for her through tough times.

And let’s be real, isn’t it sad that we live in a society where a woman can’t simply have a supportive male friend without it sparking marriage rumours?

T**e’s journey has been a public one, with her failed marriage to Maje Ayida often serving as a talking point for many.

That tumultuous relationship, which ended in 2017 following infidelity allegations, clearly left a mark on her. During the Thanksgiving, T**e reflected on those difficult years, thanking God for helping her through a time when she felt like she was "going to die."

It’s a testament to her resilience, and her ability to not only survive but thrive, that she stood before her guests at 40, stronger and more confident.

She didn’t just thank God though; she gave credit to her close friends who stood by her. True friends, the ones who stick around during the messiest of storms, are invaluable, and T**e’s acknowledgment of their support shows that even in a world of glitz and glamour, genuine connections matter most.

T**e’s story is one of strength, friendship, and an unshakable faith. But it’s also a reminder of the dangers of internet speculation.

We, as an online community, need to do better. Perhaps the next time we see a video or image online, we can take a moment to question its authenticity before jumping to conclusions.

Idris Elba to Take on the Role of Okonkwo in TV Adaptation of Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart'

In what could be one of the most anticipated television adaptations of the decade, Idris Elba is set to portray Okonkwo in a new take on Chinua Achebe’s literary masterpiece, 'Things Fall Apart.'

The project, backed by David Oyelowo's A24, is still in the early stages of development, with key details like the writer and streaming platform yet to be announced. But with names like Elba and Oyelowo attached, expectations are high.

'Things Fall Apart,' Achebe’s debut novel published in 1958, remains an iconic work, not just in African literature but globally. The book delves deep into the rich tapestry of pre-colonial Igboland, focusing on the life of Okonkwo, a revered leader and warrior of the Umuofia clan. Through Okonkwo's journey, Achebe masterfully presents the profound changes brought about by European missionaries and colonial forces in the late 19th century.

While the world waits for further announcements, there's no denying the cultural weight this adaptation holds. 'Things Fall Apart' isn’t just another book-to-screen project. It’s a seminal work that has shaped the global perception of African literature and ignited conversations about colonialism, tradition, and modernity.

Elba’s casting has sparked conversations across social media, with fans and critics alike curious to see how he will interpret the complex character of Okonkwo. After all, this is a man torn between his deep-rooted traditions and the inevitable changes colonialism brings—a story that still resonates in today’s world.

Achebe’s 'Things Fall Apart' is already studied far and wide—from classrooms in Nigeria to universities in Europe and North America. Its impact has been enduring, with over 20 million copies sold and translations in more than 50 languages. The novel's influence extends into popular culture, with nods to Achebe’s work showing up everywhere, even in The Roots' 1999 album 'Things Fall Apart.' Time Magazine once named it one of the 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005—a testament to its enduring relevance.

There have been several adaptations of 'Things Fall Apart' over the years, including a 1987 miniseries starring Pete Edochie as Okonkwo and Justus Esiri as Obierika. That series, directed by David Orere, was a hit on Nigerian television. So, it’s safe to say this new project has big shoes to fill, but if anyone can do justice to Achebe’s work, it’s Elba and Oyelowo.

For now, we watch and wait. But one thing is clear—this adaptation has the potential to remind the world once again of the power of Achebe’s words.

There's a rising movement against PROSPERITY SERMONS in Nigerian churches, now dubbed the 'Abel Damina Effect.' A shift in focus, challenging what we’ve always known. Change is here!

The words below belong to Pastor Sam Adeyemi:

"It is amazing that the pictures now being painted for us as Christians, even as believers that the proof that God has accepted us, that God has blessed us is in the material things we acquire.

It's in the cars. It's in the houses. It's in the money.

It's a BIG LIE. There are loads of people that don't pray, they don't know God, they are not saved and they have LOADS of MONEY.

The kingdom of God is not MEAT AND DRINK. Romans 14 VS 17. It is righteousness. It is peace. It is joy in the Holy Spirit."

A lot of people are lonely. And many of the lonely ones are not even at the top.

They are in the crowd, among the living, among the partly living, among the dead, among the halfdead, among us, the dregs of the society.

It's more lonely to be down here, right at the heart of the faceless crowd, and yet nobody hears you, nobody feels you, nobody understands you.

When you see this girl almost bursting her lungs, think of us, the ones that nobody sees. Think of us and how everything we do is a scream that nobody cares about. Think of us.

Maybe in thinking of us, we'd feel the warmth of your thought.

Happy Thursday

❤️🌹💐🥂🎈
