Star Actress, Bukunmi Oluwasina Finally Speaks On Pregnancy Before Marriage Scandal, Says "I Went Through Alot After Wedding"

 

Nollywood Actress, Bukunmi Oluwasina has debunked the news making the rounds about her in the media after a blogger claimed that she forcefully rushed into marriage to cover the shame of getting pregnant out of wedlock.

 

The blogger, in her report alleged that the actress was impregnated by her husband who was then a mere boyfriend and as a top movie star, this might be a big shame on her which forced her to hastenly had a closed-door wedding with him.

 

 

 

 

 

Last night, Bukunmi took to her Instagram story to finally address the allegations. She revealed that all the claims from the said blogger are fallacy. She further revealed the truth that many people don’t really know about her marriage and the difficult situation she and her husband had to go through before she could conceive months after their wedding.

 

Having heard this, Entertainment Journalist, Gbolahan Adetayo however spoke with the vivacious actress who shared her on side of the story in a brief chat with him. Read the interview below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How did you feel after seeing a report claiming that you were forced to get married to your husband because of the pregnancy you had for him out of wedlock?

 

Someone actually sent it to me. I don’t follow the page but i love the page because ever since that page started, most celebrities have started minding the kind of things they do and living the right way, which is a positive change, and it quite commendable. I used to believe that the blog doesn’t post false things, until i saw what a friend sent to me which was absolutely not true. I guess the people feeding the blogger with information just didn’t do their job well. I thought i should ignore it because it’s one of those things, but I suddenly remembered my daughter. I know she would grow up to read those things someday, So i decided to speak my truth and add up evidence even though the blogger had no evidence to her claims.

 

 

 

 

 

Has the report caused any form of misunderstanding in your home?

Myself and my husband can’t engage in fracas because of something that was said in the media. We all have our dirty secrets no matter how little, and before we got married to each other, I told him every of the things I could count as secret and he did the same also. So, some people would be surprise to know that there is nothing you can tell me about my husband or tell him about me that we haven’t already told each other, fought about, settled, and now laugh about it because there are some secrets you can’t keep forever, so it is better your partner hear it from you than from outsiders. It reduces the hurt. But i’m not the type of girls with the records of sleeping around or being with a man for money. I grew up in money and by the grace of God i was able to make my own money too. If not for the kind of Job i do, i would have been married 5 years ago. That’s how much i love family. I dated my boyfriend for years before we finally agreed to settle down. It was not because we were not ready. No. It was because we had our plans and that’s what we followed. Who does a marriage out of no choice and goes to Court? Oh maybe they didn’t get the full gist. We had both Church, Court and Traditional wedding. We only posted the part that casted because it’s the only part that leaked online. And trust me, we have been long engaged before the date they posted, most fans and friends just don’t know about it because Covid-19 denied the chance of gathering the whole family for a proper celebration. For those who are wise enough to open their eyes before opening their mouth anyhow, they would know i have had my heart engagement ring on very long before the wedding news got leaked. And trust me, had it been it wasn’t leaked, I might eventually make the wedding unknown on social media. That’s how much i love my privacy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there any other thing you want to clear the air about?

I know a lot of people are waiting to read or hear bad news about me or my marriage, because this part of the world is filled with bitter people, but I’m just going to put this straight to you all, as long as God liveth, as long as I have never been a reason for any woman’s tears or stole any woman’s husband or break anyone’s home, you all would wait forever. Then you all should please stop putting my name on the list i don’t belong. Or call me someone’s Ex. I have said this a thousand times, I never dated Lateef. I have never for once had interest in him for a second. I’m not a lover of public figure affair or unnecessary attention. I have said this long since I joined the movie industry, That I can never date or marry an actor. Thank God the Guy in question is still alive, Anyone can publicly or privately ask him If I Oluwasina Bukunmi Grace have ever asked him where he lives let alone of paying him a visit. Can you date or have interest in a person and never get to do that? If anyone have claims of ever seeing me with him in a place that is not for shooting or work related environment, Please kindly come forward with your proof.

 

Let me also use this privilege to appeal to all bloggers with due respect. Please, If you want to talk about me, do not extend it to the part of my family. I do not post them as often or at all because I don’t like people believing they have a say or opinion on my private life. I didn’t do a public wedding because i actually with due respect believe it should be a sign for everyone to know I do not entertain anybody in my private life or family life no mater how close you are to me. I dated my friend for 10 years before we got married, and I never mentioned his name or talked about us in any interview even till and after our wedding. It should automatically show the public how much I love my privacy. Thank you.

Power, Protocol, and Papal Grace: The Inside Story of How It All Went Down in Rome By Bianca Ojukwu

Power, Protocol, and Papal Grace: The Inside Story of How It All Went Down in Rome By Bianca Ojukwu

There’s something about the Vatican that strips away titles and trappings. In the shadows of St. Peter’s Basilica, under the searing Roman sun, global leaders, power players, and everyday pilgrims become equals—bound by reverence and ritual.

Power, Protocol, and Papal Grace: The Inside Story of How It All Went Down in Rome By Bianca Ojukwu

I should know. I was there.

On my last trip to the Vatican—during the funeral of Pope Francis just weeks earlier—I had witnessed something unforgettable. As President Donald Trump arrived and a crowd of dignitaries swarmed to greet him, a sharply-dressed, no-nonsense priest cut through the noise with a firm:

Scusi. This is St. Peter’s Basilica, not the White House. Kindly take your seats.

Boom. Order restored. And a reminder: here, no one upstages the moment.

So when I returned for the Installation Mass of Pope Leo XIV, I knew I’d be witnessing not just history, but human theater—with the Nigerian delegation right in the mix.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, leading the delegation, arrived in good time—early enough to soak in the atmosphere, greet dignitaries, and observe the ancient rites. As we settled into the square, I spotted Peter Obi and Kayode Fayemi, former governors and political heavyweights, already seated. After the President had taken his place, I went over to greet them—and in a rare gesture of statesmanship, they chose to accompany me to pay their respects to the President.

What followed was a surprisingly warm and humorous exchange. Far from the icy tensions back home, Tinubu welcomed them with ease, smiling, laughing, and trading quips like old friends reunited at a family function. They soon returned to their seats—but that moment, however brief, spoke volumes about what’s possible in Nigerian politics when the ego is set aside.

But Rome doesn’t care who you are. The sun showed no favoritism. Under the blazing Vatican heat, everyone—presidents, pilgrims, priests—sat exposed. The square is merciless. People faint. They’re carried off in stretchers. It’s part of the experience.

One man, seated directly in front of me, collapsed mid-Mass. Paramedics were far off, and panic briefly rippled through the crowd—until Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son, leapt into action. He darted to the vestibule and returned with a cold bottle of water that was used to revive the man before medics arrived.

Meanwhile, the President—stoic and composed—sat through the entire three-hour liturgy, standing and kneeling as required, skipping only Communion. Afterward, he lingered. He chatted with Nigerian priests, seminarians, posed for selfies, and shared laughs, showing none of the fatigue one might expect.

And oh—that suit.

Tailored to perfection, the President’s power suit turned heads across the square. The cut, the stride, the confidence—it was presidential flair meeting ecclesiastical ceremony. He walked up to greet the new pontiff with grace and gravitas.

So yes, Vatican ’25 wasn’t just a religious event—it was a convergence of power, humility, diplomacy, and humanity.

From protocol to personal moments, this was history not just witnessed, but lived.

And for those of us lucky enough to be there, one thing is clear:
In Rome, you don’t just attend a Mass. You become part of a moment that echoes through eternity.

Ngozi Okafor Unleashes a Wave of Youth Energy Through Transformative TV Content

Ngozi Okafor Unleashes a Wave of Youth Energy Through Transformative TV Content

Ngozi Okafor Unleashes a Wave of Youth Energy Through Transformative TV Content

Renowned organizational psychologist, author, and international youth mentor, Ngozi Okafor, has unveiled a new line of inspirational television programs aimed at educating, empowering, and guiding the Nigerian youth. With over two decades of experience in youth development across the UK, USA, and Nigeria, Ngozi is bringing her message of hope and transformation directly to the screens of millions of young Nigerians.

The new programs, set to debut in the coming weeks, will focus on themes such as self-discovery, entrepreneurship, leadership, financial literacy, and mental wellness. Designed to bridge the gap between information and real-life application, each episode will feature stories of resilience, expert insights, and practical advice to help young people navigate life with clarity and confidence.

“Our young people are gifted, but many are simply not guided,” said Ngozi Okafor. “These programs are my way of reaching out—to say, ‘I see you, I believe in you, and here are tools to help you build your future.’ It’s not just about being on TV. It’s about starting conversations that lead to transformation.”

Ngozi’s journey in youth empowerment has spanned four continents, beginning in the UK with Hope Worldwide International, supporting vulnerable and homeless youth. In Atlanta, USA, she worked with Junior Achievers, leading business and leadership simulation programs, while also engaging youth in community service through initiatives like Meals on Wheels.

Back in Nigeria, Ngozi’s voice became familiar to thousands through Youth Arena on Armed Forces Radio 107.7 FM, a program that partnered with the Central Bank of Nigeria to teach financial literacy to young Nigerians through engaging broadcasts and workbooks.

Beyond media, Ngozi has directly supported more than 50 young entrepreneurs by providing startup resources such as sewing machines, baking ovens, and seed funding. Her work reflects a lifelong mission: turning inspiration into action.

“This TV project is more than content—it’s a movement,” she added. “We are building a generation that is self-aware, skilled, and ready to lead. And we’re doing it one story, one screen, and one young person at a time.”

Ngozi Okafor’s upcoming television programs promise to fill a critical void in youth development programming and are expected to air on both national and regional networks. Additional details about scheduling and partnerships will be announced soon.

Peter Obi Breaks Silence on Rome Visit Amid Smears and Propaganda Storm

Peter Obi Breaks Silence on Rome Visit Amid Smears and Propaganda Storm

Presidential hopeful and former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has calmly addressed a wave of politically charged misinformation following his recent visit to the Vatican, where he attended an inauguration ceremony. The backlash, largely fanned by known government allies Femi Fani-Kayode, Reno Omokri, and Omoyele Sowore, misrepresented the nature of his visit and falsely accused him of refusing to “pay homage” to the Pope until a supposed presidential intervention.

Peter Obi Breaks Silence on Rome Visit Amid Smears and Propaganda Storm

Contrary to the sensational headlines, Mr. Obi clarified that he did not meet the Pope, nor was such a meeting on his agenda. “I bought my own ticket and traveled for what I believe is a personal, non-political trip,” he told a close confidant in Abuja before departing. Emphasizing his commitment to modesty, Obi disclosed that he flew economy class, adding, “It’s the difference between business class and economy that I use for donations to build classrooms.”

Obi’s visit to Rome mirrored his past trips to the Vatican, including the 2013 inauguration of Pope Francis. A Papal Knight and longstanding Catholic faithful, Mr. Obi is no stranger to such events. This time, he traveled alongside former Ekiti State Governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi, both of whom held official passes granting them VIP access. They also paid a visit to Cardinal Francis Arinze, a 90-year-old Nigerian cleric and longtime Vatican figure — an act Obi has made a tradition of during such visits.

The criticisms have drawn widespread rebuke, with many questioning why a man known for self-funding his travels and donating millions to health and education continues to face political smears, while those squandering public funds remain unchallenged. Obi’s quiet return to Nigeria was followed, as usual, by school and hospital visits — the kind of grassroots outreach that has cemented his reputation as a man of service, not spectacle.

As misinformation continues to plague Nigeria’s political discourse, observers are calling for a return to truth and substance. “Enough of the lies. Enough of the propaganda. The truth has no tribe,” said a supporter who met with Obi before his Rome trip.

In an era of performative politics, Obi’s response has once again underscored his consistent message: humility, service, and transparency over noise.
