"The sad part about the Darrel Walls situation is the other man making the decision to post the video of them in such an intimate setting. Darrel clearly hasn’t let the world know his stance on his sexuality, so why did the guy feel compelled to do it for him? Tragic."
Darrel is the eldest member of the Walls family gospel group.
In absential, Florence Ajimobi celebrates 40th wedding anniversary with late husband [video]
If this is not love, then we don't know what love is.
Recall in one of her most recent interviews, while her husband was still alive, she spoke about how he cheated on her, and well, she still waved it aside and continued her marriage. She even told her daughter who was interviewing her to go and ask her father -- she was so sure of what she was saying, lol. Unfortunately, she lost her soul mate this year to covid-19, but mama isn't letting death take her joy away.
As they turn 40 in marriage, she took to Instagram to celebrate her love, despite he is no longer here. Her kids must be proud...
“40 years ago, I signed the dotted lines to a lifetime commitment and unconditional love in matrimony between myself and my husband, @abiolaajimobi at Mapo Hall, Ibadan.Our marriage was filled with love, laugher, mutual respect and peace. We were indeed a perfect team and I thank God for the privilege of being wife to this wonderful man for 40 years,” she wrote.

Daughter allegedly butchers mom, slice body into parts in Uyo
It was gathered that angry youths led by elders compelled her to park her mother’s parts into a basin and walked round the community in total condemnation of the incident.
It was further gathered that when the police came to arrest her, she said that she did not care if she was arrested or not.
But the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Odiko Macdon, who confirmed the incident in Uyo, expressed surprise at the action.
He said no right thinking person would slaughter her own mother in such a gruesome manner, adding the police would conduct a test to certify her state of mind before she is charged to court.
According to the PPRO, “The story is true; she butchered her mum. We are suspecting that she is not of sound mind but we do not have any medical capacity yet to say so.
“Medical personnel will have to determine if she is of sound mind, because no right thinking person will kill her mother by butchering her.
“As we speak, we have her in our custody. We have gathered the parts of her mother and deposited in the mortuary. By the time we ascertain her state of mind we will charge her accordingly, we have conducted preliminary investigation and more discreet investigation is on the way and she will be charged to court immediately after that.”
Man charged with murdering rapper 21 Savage’s brother, TM1way
Terrell Davis, who performed as TM1way, was stabbed to death in Ramilles Close in Brixton Hill, south London, just before 6pm on 22 November.
It was reported that the 27-year-old had been visiting his elderly relative when he bumped into an old friend and was stabbed.
He was the brother of the US rapper 21 Savage, who paid tribute by posting a picture of the pair together on Instagram. The performer wrote: “Can’t believe somebody took you baby bro I know I took my anger out on you I wish I could take that shit back.”
Paramedics and an air ambulance crew tried to save Davis but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Sunday the Metropolitan police said detectives investigating the killing had charged a man with murder. Tyrece Fuller, 21, of Tavy Close, Lambeth, is due to appear in custody at Bromley magistrates court on Monday.
A Met police spokesperson said this week: “Terrell’s family are distraught and we are providing them with support via specially trained officers as they begin to grieve for him.”
21 Savage has been based in the US since he was seven, but the Grammy-nominated artist – whose real name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – was born in Newham, east London. He was arrested by US immigration officials last year over claims he failed to leave the country when his visa expired.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma flags off rabbits empowerment scheme [photos]
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony on Friday, Mr Uzodinma said he is determined to engage youths in productive ventures that will guarantee their meaningful employment.
“We have flagged-off the commencement of the empowerment of our youths through agriculture and the official handover of the Imo State office of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) at Okigwe road Owerri as Imo is the pilot State and South East Zonal Head Office.
“It is worthy of mention that the Federal Government, through NALDA, has empowered 250 beneficiaries from Imo State on rabbit farming as it flagged off the second phase of the NALDA empowerment scheme for young farmers in the area of rabbit breeding and rearing.
“The NALDA is saddled with the mandate of harnessing the full potentials of the vast arable lands in Nigeria for the purpose of empowering and supporting small holder farmers both on large scale and mechanized scales.
“I thank the Presidency for this initiative aimed at empowering our youths and growing the economy. I also thank the Executive Secretary of NALDA, Mr. Paul Ikonne for all the support.
“I have always maintained that the most effective way to ensure sustained socio-economic development in Nigeria and Imo State, in particular, is to engage youths in productive ventures that will guarantee their meaningful employment.
“This programme will guarantee food security, empower youths and reduce restiveness amongst other benefits and so engaging 774,000 youths across the nation would stimulate huge economic growth. These efforts will lead to food and fibre security and assist in diversifying the nation’s economy, improving household income and enhancing revenue mobilization and generation nationwide.
“The government has provided enabling environment for them, including being their primary off-takers, ready to purchase whatever they produce.
“To this end, I urge the beneficiaries to take the business seriously,” the governor said.
Sanwo-Olu names building after Bola Tinubu
In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sanwo-Olu also named some buildings after the late Senator Adebayo Osinowo, who represented Lagos East Senatorial District in the Senate until his demise last June.
While the newly built Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area in the state was named after Tinubu, the Agboyi-Ketu LCDA building was named after Osinowo.
According to the statement, Governor Sanwo-Olu warned “youths against willful destruction of Government’s assets and infrastructure built with public funds, saying the recent EndSARS protests brought out the need for Governments at all levels to double their efforts and prioritise youth development and empowerment.”
“In addition to inaugurating the new Apapa-Iganmu secretariat complex named after the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Gov. Sanwo-Olu also commissioned 13 newly constructed and rehabilitated roads, a library complex and Primary Health Centre delivered by the council chairman, Dr. Funmilayo Akande-Mohammed,” the statement added.
