Quotes
News of the gruesome murder of
Olamide Omajuwa Alli by her
boyfriend alleged to be a serial killer
and who, subsequently, committed
suicide after the act, sent social media
buzzing last week. The truth of that
whole drama lies with the Police to
unravel.
Once in a while, we get to hear
stories of love gone cold and violent
actions taken by Cupid’s benefactors.
Broken hearts are not new. They are
as old as human nature. However,
when something grave enough to break trust happens in a love
relationship, the fire dims. In some cases, there is a complete
burnout.
Many today are in relationships where the fire is completely
burnt out. If one could peel back the heart, what you’d find will
be mere ashes; the remains of what used to be flame. When
love grows cold, passion goes out the window, leaving behind a
certain kind of coldness that makes everything else mechanical.
Communication becomes scanty and suspicion sets in until
those dark thoughts are manifested in gruesome ways.
Many couples are suffering from a burnout. In this case, two
things are left to be done—either bend backwards in humility
and forgive an erring partner by remembering the things that
once gave you joy in the relationship or just walk away. Taking
another’s life for any reason is just not acceptable.
For Rosemary Afuwape and Onyekachi Ucheagwu, winners
of the just concluded reality TV show - Ultimate Love, their love
life has only just begun. Gracing our cover today, they talk
about finding love and the future
they plan to share together. J . E
Join them to spread love and

INTERVIEW
Roksie:
The Ultimate Lovers
Words By -Linda Orajekwe
Kachi and Rosie are winners of the recently held first love reality TV show in Nigeria-
Ultimate Love. The pair, slugged it out with other couples in a love nest and came out 5
million Naira richer. They also stand to win a house and an all-expense-paid traditional
marriage if they decide to get married.
For eight weeks fans across Africa were glued to their television and mobile screen, watching
every step of the couples in the house, and being a part of their joy and their pains.
Rosemary Afuwape (Rosie) and Onyekachi Ucheagwu
share their story, the long walk to love.

/ June 28, 2020

ONYEKACHI
UCHEAGWU
Finding Love On Screen
Onyekachi Ucheagwu is a 32-year-old serial
entrepreneur from Imo State who came
into the Ultimate Love reality TV show, more to
find love than to win the money. But the odds
were on his side as he left Aunty’s Love Pad
with both a grand prize and a partner, Rosie.
With his deep love for his culture and
tradition, Kachi, as he is fondly called in the
house, found a woman that complements all
that in the person of Rosie and in their 8
weeks together in Aunty Love Pad, they
uncovered things about themselves and
unlearned things together.
What motivated you to come to a reality TV show in
search of love?
As cliche as it sounds, I was motivated by the idea of
finding true love. I entered the Love Pad with an open
heart as an individual to find genuine and unconditional
love. Someone I could spend the rest of my life with.
As an Igbo man who is highly cultural, did Ultimate
love provide the right environment or you had to align
yourself to its culture?
My culture does not have anything to do with where I
choose to find love. The Igbo nation is liberal and consider
everyone irrespective of your tribe as one. As such, I will
forever remain grateful to MultiChoice for giving me the
platform to find the woman of my dream
What attracted you to Rosie in the house? Would you
say she was your ideal kind of partner before the
show?
She was and still is (Laughs). I knew Rosie was the
one from the onset of the show. During our first speed
date in the Love Pad, I just knew that she was exactly
what I was looking for and then, she shared a secret she
had never discussed with anyone and that really built my
trust for her because it was obvious she was willing to let
go and trust me.
How did your experience in your previous
relationships help your relationship with your partner
in Aunty’s Love Pad?
Before the show, I’d had to deal with a lot of
disappointment and heartbreaks in my relationships. So, I
was also very careful from the start not to make another
mistake. I’m grateful to God that things worked out with
Rosie. I’m at peace knowing that this one is really and
truly mine.
Before Rosie, what was your thought on dating older
women and how has that thought evolved since your
relationship in the house?
Dating older women has never been my thing. But
after the first week of bonding in the Love Pad, coupled
with intelligent conversations we had, and different
lectures we had, the whole narrative and my perspective
changed. I got to realize that age is nothing but numbers.
There and then, I made up my mind not to sacrifice my
happiness at the altar of “age”. I love Rosie so much,
that’s what matters.
On entering the house, what was a strategy you had
to win the game and were you ever able to use it?
So, entering the house, I was more about finding love
than getting a strategy to even win. So, I didn’t really have
any particular strategy and to be honest, winning the show
came to me as a surprise. I wasn’t expecting it. But I’m
grateful to God for making it possible.
How did you feel being in a house with so many
couples? Did that environment help or affect your
relationship negatively?
Hmmm… I don’t think it had any adverse effect on our
relationship. The opposite was actually the case because
while we were focused on working on our relationship, we
were also surrounded by other couples who were
navigating theirs. So and such an environment helped us
learn from one another.
Describe a memorable time you had in the house with
Rosie and why is it special?
wow… they are innumerable. Starting from the games
we both played together in the house, to various
interesting conversations around spending eternity and
building a family together. Also, when I made an Italian
meal (Italian Puttanesca). The interesting thing about it
was she finished the meal and asked for more, and I was
so happy.
Having a public relationship on a reality TV show like
Ultimate Love, what were some of the fears you had
and how did you navigate your emotions and
thoughts to alleviate those fears?
INTERVIEW
Fear? I don’t think I had any and that’s because I
knew what I was going in for. So that helped me navigate
the challenges that came with falling in love and
navigating a new relationship in front of the cameras.
Going into the house, was the end game to win no
matter what or find love even without the prize and
how do you feel having both?
For me, the end game was to find true love, not
winning. I feel very grateful to God for making all this
happen
If you have to do something all over again in the
house, what’s that one thing you’ll do differently?
Not a thing. I believe everything happes for a reason,
and all my actions in the Love Pad led me to Rosie.
Coming out of the house, what was your first reaction
to the new reality of COVID-19?
It was crazy! But the good thing though was that, the
organisers of the show had briefed us on what to expect,
and they also took great measures to ensure we were
safe upon our exit from the Love Pad.

INTERVIEW
trying it out has changed my mind. This unconventional
way led me to find love with a wonderful man in the
person of Kachi. He changed my perspective and now, I
believe that indeed, you can find love through
unconventional ways.
How did your experience in your previous
relationship help your relationship with Kachi?
I think when you’ve had an experience like the one I
had, you kind of learn from the mistakes and try to see
that they are not repeated in your future relationships. I
think that’s what growth is really about; treating your
experiences when things don’t work out as you planned
as lessons instead of failures. I’m applying the lessons I
learned from my past relationship into this one and also
doing some unlearning. It’s all a process and a journey.
Thankfully, I’m going through all of it with the best guy.
Describe a memorable time you had in the house
with Kachi and why is it special?
Hmmm! I would say the most memorable time in the
house with Kachi was when I opened up my heart to
him, and told him my secret and he accepted me all the
same. That is a memory I will never forget in a hurry.
Before Kachi, what was your thought on dating
younger guys and how has that thought evolved
since your relationship with Kachi?
It’s funny because I have never given it a thought,
and that’s because ideally, I am wired to be attracted to
men older than me because I feel they are more
matured in handling situations, feelings and things in
general. But with Kachi, I don’t even remember that he is
younger because of the level of maturity he’s shown over
time.
Having a public relationship in a reality TV show like
Ultimate Love, what were some of the fears you had
and how did you navigate your emotions and
thoughts to alleviate those fears?
I’m not going to lie, the whole idea of having
strangers so invested in your life was really scary, and
having to go through the ups and downs of a relationship
on TV with the whole continent watching isn’t exactly the
easiest thing in the world. But I had to remind myself that
I was in the show for a reason, and I kept my eyes on
the goal.
Going into the Love Pad, was the end game to win
no matter what or find love even without the prize
and how do you feel having both?
I know this probably sounds cheesy but my main
goal going into the show was to find true unconditional
love. That was the ultimate prize for me. That said, a
couple million in the bank doesn’t hurt, you know
(Laughs). I’m just really grateful that I have both.
ROSEMARY AFUWAPE
In Search Of The Ultimate Love
After a failed relationship that lasted for 12
years, Rosemary gave up on love until
she decided to give herself another chance in
the Love Pad at Ultimate love. The teacher
and native of Ogun State, here, reveals how
much she was willing to give people access
into her life just to find love again.
You had a relationship for 12 years that made you
lose your faith in love. What happened?
After my last relationship which lasted for 12 long
years, I lost faith in love because it was an abusive
relationship; abusive in every sense of the word,
physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically. But
gradually, I had an understanding that love is beautiful,
and it doesn’t hurt. It’s people that hurt.
With zero faith in love, why then did you go for the
Ultimate Love reality tv show?
Truth is, I really just wanted to give it one more shot
because I mean there wasn’t really any harm in that. I
also knew I didn’t want to leave the Love Pad single, and
thankfully, everything worked out perfectly. I met and fell
crazily in love with the sweetest man. You know, I often
wonder what would have happened if I didn’t grab the
opportunity to be a part of the show. Imagine me missing
out on an opportunity to experience such beautiful love.
What attracted you to Kachi in the house? Was he
your ideal partner?
He was! My attraction to Kachi started out as a crush,
but beyond the crush and his good looks, I also saw how
much a good human being he was and thankfully, still is.
I was also drawn to how kind, patient and calm he was
even in his persistent pursuit of me.
Before Ultimate Love, what was your idea on finding
love in unconventional ways such as this and how
did the Ultimate Love change that perspective for
you?
Well, if you say idea, I had no idea I would be finding
love like this. I didn’t think or believe that I could find love
in unconventional ways but here I am, in love through an
unconventional way from Ultimate Love. You can say my
If you have to do something all over again in the
house, what’s that one thing you’ll do differently?
I would not assume certain responsibilities. I’ll just be
laid back and have any other person take up such
responsibilities which would have given me much more
time with my man. Also, I would have tried to pay more
attention to people’s behaviour.
What has life been like after Ultimate Love and
what’s the plan going forward?
Life after Ultimate Love has been up and down yet
fulfilling. We are now concentrating on understanding
ourselves more, growing our family and empire too.
In what ways would you say being a part of the
Ultimate Love reality show prepared you for the
realities of marriage?
Being cooped up in the Love Pad with nowhere to
go, you’re forced to really learn about the other person.
You see them at their worst and their best. It’s easy to tell
if you’re going to be able to spend the rest of your life
with that person. You also get to see how they handle
situations, thanks to the various tasks we were assigned
by Aunty.
Coming out of the house, what was your first
reaction to the new reality of COVID-19?
It was a reality shock for me but thankfully, we were
properly briefed and prepared for it by the organisers of
the show, MultiChoice. So, we kind of knew what to
expect.

Spice Your Sex Life With
Sexual Naughtiness
From time to time, sexual relationship can hit a lull in
the bedroom. Housewives need to reignite passion if
their sex life has been anything but sizzling. They
have to do this even when they are not feeling the
need to or not in the mood especially, if the men are
game. True, this is the time to heat things up with a
little creativity, and one of the funniest ways to do this,
is to give an element of surprise to your mate with
something he just never saw coming but has always
wanted.
Ladies should learn to initiate sex because with
some couples, it’s always the man’s job to get things
started. If you belong to this group, then it is time to
switch the tables. You can make this move when
you’re both alone and having some quiet time.
It is really cool to go bottomless at home if you are
alone, or the children have gone to bed, or if they
have gone away for the weekend. Actually, some
guys yearn to see their women go topless. It can be a
turn on for majority of them coupled with the fact that
he knows exactly what is coming next. So ladies, get
sexy and enjoy yourselves.
Try giving a good reason to get up before his
normal time in the morning by waking him with your
mouth-a blow job first thing in the day. A lot of guys if
not all of them, would never turn down this morning
act. If you’ve never startled your spouse with this
treat before, you’ve probably never seen the happiest
man alive on planet earth. But note that oral sex does
not have to be prelude to intercourse. Do not be lazy
about it, as he can just decide to return the favour.
Slowly wake him up in the middle of the night and
then, gradually and affectionately have sex. However,
if he is the type that value his sleep, then don’t do this
for any reason. Instead, you can stimulate areas other
than his manhood. There are lots of other nerve
endings on the male body that needs your attention
too. Your love making should be explorative, let your
hands and mouth also stimulate his other erogenous
zones such as the nipples, ears, throat and the inner
thighs. Every touch is going to feel more arousing and
pleasurable.
Introduce sex toys into the other room because
toys are fun. They are there to enhance sex and not
to replace anyone. Pick a simple toy like a cock ring
to prolong his orgasm as well as making it explosive.
A bullet vibrator can help to stimulate those
erogenous zones earlier discussed above. It is
important for you to first get a gauge of his reaction
and only use it with his consent.
It could be fun to wear costumes, dress up as a
slutty maid, flight attendant, nurse, dancer, whatever
you’ve noticed him looking at and lusting after. Wear
something outlandishly provocative to get his reaction
and if he bursts out laughing, you laugh too. Just
make it light, nothing too serious.
Show a preview of your body when you and your guy
are just relaxing in bed watching TV. Startle him by
unexpectedly stripping while he watches. He will be
so excited that before you say Jack, he will probably
pounce on you before you get to finish undressing.
Round this up by gently blindfolding your lover to lie
down and run an ice cube, don’t linger for too long so
that you can let him apply the ice cube on you too
which could lead to a whole new level of arousal for
both parties.
With a bit of creativity, you can turn any boring day
into a sexual adventure by inviting him for a weekend
gate-away. Volunteer to drive, take a wrong turn or
the longest route on a secluded road, pull over and
seduce him in the car. This may be risky because of
the poor security in the country right now but if you
are sure of your security, you can give it a shot.
If your man happens to be the type that likes to
hear dirty talk but you’ve always been a little
uncomfortable about it, this is the perfect time to let go
of your inhibitions by coming out of your comfort zone.
Start by leaving him a note or text message about all
the filthy things you want to do with him. Work your
way up to sexy voicemails to his personal phone that
no other person have access to apart from him and
eventually, start talking or at least whispering dirty
things to him in bed. The end result of dirty
talking is to stimulate the brain, the biggest
organ that keeps things sexy during
playtime.
Startle your better half with quickie, this
can be fun, playful, and full of passion.
Being a quick does not necessarily mean
it cannot be amazing. You can still get into
your favourite sex positions during quickie.
If your sex life has become a little dull
lately, it’s time to try something new and
make your love life sparkle again. Strike
up a sexual conversation, attentively listen
to your significant other about his sexual
desires/ fantasies and patiently take turns
to talk about yours.
Agree to try something new; new
sexual position, role play, or something
else you’ve never done before. In a
relationship, it is actually easy for partners
to fall into sexual patterns. which can
make copulation feel like the same all the
time. It does not have to be. Keep things
exciting by taking things easy, it is that
simple and all of these could be fun for
you as well.
HAPPY BELATED FATHER’S DAY !

What some of your favourite
celebrities said and we listened.
“If my husband cheats, I’ll
forgive him and you say if
your own cheats you won’t
forgive. Okay, it’s fine. It is
not like we are married to
the same man. Why do
you want to force me not
to forgive my own
husband? Am I forcing
you to forgive your own?
Do what works for you. If
you move to the next man
and he cheats, you’ll still
leave him to the next and
keep moving like that,”
Mizwanneka’s stand
on infidelity.
“In life disappointments will
come, friends will stab you in the
back, the people you love will
hate you, some hustle no go pay,
you’ll ask & you’ll not receive, you
may go broke sometimes, but
you must keep believing & keep
going. Life never gets easier.
YOU HAVE TO GET TOUGHER,”
Yul Edochie’s life nugget.
“The story has gone beyond
rape. You have manipulated the
justice system to fit your selfish
interest. You have broken the
law on multiple counts, and you
deserve to be CANCELLED.
Dbanj should be stripped of his

Mocheddah’s reaction to

Olakunle Churchill’s Father’s Day message
... A Father Is A Father Irrespective Of
Marital Challenges
It was Father’s Day last Sunday
and with it came lots of love and
emotional outpour from personalities
to their fathers on social media.
However, one that caught our attention
was that of Tonto Dike’s ex husband
Churchill Olakunle. His was a message
from father to son while at the same
time, encouraging fathers with
marital challenges. Churchill who has
been separated from his son by his
estranged wife for some years now,
posted this photo, tagged with a long
note that reads:
“Happy Fathers’ Day to all the
fathers in the world. A father is a father
irrespective of marital challenges. A
father is not only by way of giving birth
to a child; but by way of taking care
of children around you, and children
around the world who are in need.
I pray for all the fathers in the world,
that your child/children will not be used
as a tool of jealousy because of broken
relationships like it’s done in the old
era. As I celebrate this day, I pray this
won’t be the era when single parenting
ends up affecting a child or children’s
mentality thereby confusing them.
This is a new era and things have
changed. Relax, you’ll reconnect with
your child at the right time.
You Are A father!
We Are Fathers!! I Am A Father!!!
Happy Father’s Day To You!
