South African singer Tyla has come under criticism from some Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter) following the announcement of her upcoming APOP World Tour, which includes a performance in Lagos.

The Grammy-winning singer recently unveiled the tour schedule, revealing that she will perform in Lagos on December 22 before wrapping up the tour with concerts in Cape Town on January 4 and Johannesburg on January 9.

However, the announcement sparked mixed reactions online, with several Nigerian social media users calling for the cancellation of the Lagos concert.

Many of those opposing the concert linked their reactions to the recurring reports of xenophobic attacks against other African nationals in South Africa.

Some users argued that, given the history of attacks on foreign Africans, including Nigerians, it would be inappropriate to host the South African singer in Lagos unless there is visible progress in addressing the issue.

At first, he believed her fall was connected to the ongoing worship and thought she had been overwhelmed by the anointing.

However, when it became clear that she needed urgent medical attention, she was immediately rushed to a teaching hospital. Sadly, doctors later confirmed that she had passed away.

Expressing his grief in a Facebook post, Akpen wrote:

“I am astonished and still grappling with the events that transpired during today’s church service. You suddenly fell, and initially, I thought it might have been due to the anointing. Upon rushing you to the teaching hospital for medical attention, the doctor informed me of the devastating news that you didn’t survive. Who am I to question the divine will? Our dear wife, Joy Aondohemba Alia, may your soul rest in peace.”

In the post, she wrote:

“One wicked witch is down: my dead mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue, rest in pieces in hell with other dead witches; your members will soon join you.

I am the weapon fashioned against all the witches and wizards and all the evil people in the world; you all shall go down in my hands. Very wicked beings.

You people should repent now and accept Christ; if not, you won’t escape the judgment of death from my hands, in Jesus’ name. Amen

These people have dealt with me in this life; they found out about my destiny, and they did everything within their power to bring me down, but I thank God for helping me discover who I am and coming through for my destiny; I am now in my season of manifestation, and no one can stop it. They will all go down in my hands as God empowers and permits me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I am speaking from the place of my office as a prophetess of God Almighty.

My sword shall continue to touch blood in Jesus’name, Amen

Prophetess Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue”

A Nigerian woman has shared her perspective on how the country’s economic situation is affecting relationships, saying the financial challenges many people are facing have changed the way some men approach dating.

In a video shared on X, the woman revealed that she has been single for the past four years despite receiving attention from men.

According to her, most of the men who approach her are either married or significantly older, a situation she said has left her wondering why she has been unable to find a suitable partner.

She explained that she once questioned whether something was wrong with her and even sought spiritual guidance through prayers before concluding that the issue was not personal.

The woman said she now believes that the country’s economic hardship has had a noticeable impact on relationships, with many people focusing more on survival than long-term commitment.

She said:

“I’ve been single for 4 good years now. I won’t say men don’t approach me, but the type of men that approach me are people’s husbands. Married men, older men.

“And I’m like what’s going on. I’m just in my twenties. Later I figured out that nothings wrong with me cause at some point I went for prayers. I’ve now noticed that a lot of men are going through a lot. This economy has turned men into something else. Nobody has time.

“Even the young ones that are coming to me, they’re like see let’s just do business. Nobody wants to be committed again. Some men have even turned to Agege. There’s this guy I know he looks completely normal but this guy’s pure Agege. The economy is really messing up with people. It takes the grace of God to see a good man no”

A man has shared a video claiming he made an unusual discovery while working on a piece of land.

According to him, he came across several Omolangidi—traditional hand-carved wooden dolls associated with the Yoruba people of Nigeria. He claimed that many of the dolls had people’s names tied to them.

A Texas real estate agent, Mayra Velasquez, 42, has been arrested in connection with the 2012 killing of Irasema Chavez, a case that remained unsolved for more than a decade before investigators uncovered new evidence through advanced DNA technology.

Authorities confirmed that Velasquez was taken into custody on July 17 and booked into the Tarrant County Corrections Center. She is currently being held without bond while legal proceedings move forward.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

The investigation dates back to January 20, 2012, when Chavez was discovered dead inside her apartment after suffering more than 100 stab wounds in what investigators described as an extremely violent attack.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found no signs of forced entry. This led detectives to believe that the victim may have known the person responsible or had willingly allowed them into her home before the attack occurred.

One of the few clues available at the time was surveillance footage captured the night before the killing. The video showed an unidentified person dressed in loose-fitting clothing and a hooded sweatshirt climbing the stairs to Chavez’s apartment. The individual was seen knocking on the door, briefly speaking with someone inside, and then entering the apartment.

Although investigators collected blood evidence at the crime scene that did not belong to the victim, DNA testing conducted at the time failed to identify a suspect because there were no matching profiles in existing law enforcement databases.

In an effort to solve the case, detectives submitted the DNA sample to Parabon NanoLabs in 2016. Scientists used forensic DNA analysis to predict the suspect’s likely physical characteristics, including ancestry, eye color, hair color, and skin tone, creating a genetic profile to assist the investigation.

The breakthrough came in 2024 when the Arlington Police Department partnered with the FBI Dallas Field Office to apply Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG)—a technique that combines crime scene DNA with publicly available genealogy records and family history research to identify potential suspects.

After nearly two years of additional investigative work, authorities developed new evidence that ultimately led to Velasquez’s arrest.

Investigators have not disclosed the exact nature of the evidence that resulted in the arrest warrant, nor have they confirmed whether it included a direct DNA match. Officials have also not revealed whether Velasquez and Chavez had any prior relationship.

Velasquez remains in custody without bond, and court officials have not yet announced the date of her first court appearance.

As the legal process continues, investigators are expected to release additional details about the evidence that brought the 13-year-old homicide investigation to this stage.

Reality television personality and entrepreneur Blac Chyna has made fresh allegations against her former partner, Twin Hector, claiming he repeatedly contacted her after their relationship ended and refused to accept that they had broken up.

According to newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ, Chyna alleged that Hector called her numerous times on April 28, 2026, during both the afternoon and evening hours.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

She claimed that when she eventually answered one of the calls, Hector remained on the phone with her for about 10 minutes while she stayed silent. During the conversation, Chyna alleged that he made comments that left her feeling threatened.

According to the court filing, Hector allegedly told her:

“So you can run as long as you want, but you’re never gonna be able to hide from me.”

Chyna further claimed that he also warned her not to end the call, allegedly saying:

“You better not hang up this phone.”

She alleged that Hector insisted he had the right to keep calling her even if she no longer wanted any contact with him.

In the legal documents, Chyna described Hector’s behavior as “fixated, possessive and unwilling to accept that our relationship ended.” She said his alleged actions left her “extremely frightened,” adding that she feared he could locate and potentially harm her or members of her family.

Chyna also alleged that on June 16, Hector sent her a message asking which city she was in, a communication she said further heightened her concerns for her safety.

Beyond the allegations of unwanted contact, Chyna claimed that false statements allegedly made by Hector have negatively affected her professional reputation and career.

She is asking the court to allow her countersuit against Hector to move forward while opposing his request to have the case dismissed.

The legal dispute stems from an earlier lawsuit filed by Twin Hector, in which he accused Chyna of assault and battery. Chyna has denied those allegations and responded by filing a countersuit, with both parties now continuing their legal battle in court.
