Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has dropped a heartfelt warning that’s now gaining attention online — and omo, this one touch heart
In a recent post on her official social media page, the actress cautioned fellow celebrities to be very discerning about the kind of fans they allow to influence them — especially when it comes to family matters.
“Some fans can make you quarrel with your entire family if you are not gifted with wisdom. Let us be careful. E get why ooooooo,” she wrote.
Omo, that line loud o.
She stressed that while some followers might seem supportive, many actually fuel silent gbas gbos behind the scenes — subtly encouraging conflicts that can strain family bonds. Rita’s message is a reminder for public figures to guard their peace and not let external voices plant seeds of disunity within their homes.
Her post has since sparked conversations around the subtle pressure of social media fame, and the unseen battles celebrities often face from “well-meaning” fans who actually cause more harm than good.
“Don’t Let Culture Die” – Bimbo Thomas Urges Parents to Teach Indigenous Languages
Meanwhile, actress and filmmaker Bimbo Thomas is also making headlines, but for something more cultural.
In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, Bimbo passionately called on Nigerian parents to be intentional about teaching their kids native languages like Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa.
Omo! This is the kind of talk we need more of
She made the call after a viral clip surfaced of her son, Jayden Olanrewaju a.k.a Ogbeni Ajadi, proudly introducing himself in fluent Yoruba during a children’s game show Masoyinbo.
“I often speak Yoruba to him at home… and my late mum called him Ajadi,” she revealed.
Bimbo dismissed the common belief that speaking one’s mother tongue is “local” or backward. According to her, children can blend the Queen’s English with their native dialect, and still come out well-rounded.
She praised Masoyinbo for creating a platform that celebrates children who speak Yoruba fluently, saying:
“Thanks to ‘Masoyinbo’, his ability to recite numbers and deliver in Yoruba has improved. I’ve never been prouder.”
Her message has resonated with many Nigerians online, stirring up a fresh wave of discussion around cultural preservation, language identity, and what it really means to be “exposed.”
