He acknowledged the challenges of parenting but also expressed the joy it brings him. Timaya noted that he enjoys quality time with his children, who frequently visit him for extended periods. Despite not being in romantic relationships with their mothers, he stressed the importance of a respectful and supportive family dynamic.
Timaya’s insights offer a glimpse into his personal philosophy, emphasizing the value he places on freedom, communication, and family. As he navigates his life as a successful artist and a devoted father, his reflections resonate with many who grapple with similar questions about love and commitment.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
