Controversial Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has raised eyebrows after he shared a trailer of his new movie project titled, “Peter Obi.”

Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday, February 2, the actor and movie producer revealed he has been working on the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and shared the trailer.

In the trailer, Yul Edochie who played Peter Obi altered his voice to mimic that of the presidential candidate.

However, the way Yul spoke in the movie, mimicking Obi, didn’t sit well with his supporters. Yul was heavily criticised and accused of mocking the former Anambra state governor.

Reacting, an Instagram user @obidiya.1 wrote, “Casting with Peter Obi name is ok but that voice is not his please. Edit bfr u release it. Don’t disrespect our President like u did to May. T for thanks”.

@icey_kingblaise, “Nice one.. But the voice wasn’t necessary.. You can pass your message without mimicking.. BTW, that’s not even Peter Obi’s voice! He has a nice and meek voice. This looks like mockery to me #RESPECTFULLY❤️”.

@ezeceey, “What type of voice act is this? You should have used your normal voice on this we will still understand. This looks more like mockery.”

A viral video has captured the heartbreaking moment a man broke down in tears after he caught his girlfriend with another man in a hotel.

The man is said to have trailed his woman to the hotel, where she went to meet her other lover.

When he got to the hotel, he caught his cheating partner with the man she had gone to meet, just as they were about to take the elevator to their room.

He confronted her and appeared ready to pounce on her as he let out his anger, but he controlled himself.

The manager of the facility later interfered and told them to settle their issue outside as their noise was apparently disturbing other customers.

At the end of the video, the man who was visibly devastated is seen crying on the shoulder of another man who tried to calm him down.

Sharon went viral a few days ago after a video of her celebrating her graduation and claiming it was made possible with the help of God and her private parts surfaced online.

Reacting to the video, the school authority launched an investigation to fish Sharon out.

Sharon later apologised to the institution in a letter, explaining that she meant to say Popsy (her father) and God helped her graduate from the Polytechnic.

She also had a telephone conversation with Darling 107.3 FM Owerri, where she explained what she meant and maintained she was trying to say “Popsy” and not “p***y.”

“To be frank, nothing really happened. That day I was excited, I came out to snap and do video. It was five years in school without any issues, so I came out and did that video. It can only be God. If you watch the video, I was walking which made me to do that mistake. I wanted to say popsy, P.O.P.S.Y instead.

You know Nigerians and their lifestyle, the took the thing in another way and it started trending My God and my pu**y. It’s bad thing that trends more than good things. I don’t even know most of my Lecturer name, I just know them facially. There is absolutely nothing connected to me and them. Bring any oracle, I will swear. If they want me to go to Shrine and Swear I will.

There is no lecturer from my Day one to my finals I have business with. I will swear with my Life. I have never sorted any course before from day one in Poly Nekede to finals. That’s why I said it can only be God. It only God that sees me through. My GP in school is not even high. Even last exam which was CBT, I went there, did ‘timbum timbum’ and submitted.” She said.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, February 1, Edmund disclosed that the man stole N3.5 million from him in 2016 and failed to reimburse him.

He said the man has now relocated to the United States and even works with Bank of America, but has refused to refund his money.

According to him, he has sent countless messages to the man to demand for his money but it has all fallen on deaf ears.

Following the man’s reluctance to refund his money after almost a decade, Edmund said he has decided to have his legal representatives write to the man’s employer, Bank of America, and possibly sabotage his career.

He tweeted,

“Someone who stole 3.5M from me in 2014, has japa’d and now works for Bank of America. Every year since then I send him a reminder via text to return my money.

This year I’ll let him taste this Bank of America salary for a few more months before I have my lawyers write to them.”

In other news, BBNaija season 6 winner, Whitemoney has raised alarm about an alleged corrupt practice in the Nigerian banking system following his experience at an event.

Whitemoney, who spoke in a video shared on his Instastory, stated that there has been scarcity of cash – both old and new currency – in banks in recent times, yet new notes are surplus at events.

According to him, it was even more appalling that money changers sold N700,000 in new currency for N1 million, thus making a whooping N300,000 as profit on each deal.

He further questioned how the money changers got the money when it is not readily available at banks.
