<p>Is this month super fast, or is it just me? We celebrated April Fool’s Day almost yesterday and are in the second half of April. Last week was really eventful, and A LOT happened in the social media space.</p>
<p>This roundup brings all the juicy gist that led conversations in the social media world last week. From the controversial Easter adverts to Peter Obi’s drama, a LOT happened. You will need to relax to digest this news.</p>

<p>The PSG and Moroccan player Achraf Hakimi has shooked the internet space after his wife, Hiba Abouk, requested a divorce. Omo, with how people are divorcing, I wonder who will get married?</p>
<p>Anyways, the divorce is not the shocking part. What is shocking is that Mrs Hakimi may not get any assets from the marriage. Achraf Hakimi has been a footballer for almost ten years, playing for Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Paris Saint-Germain, while his wife is a Spanish actress. The duo met when Hakimi was 19 and she was closer to 30.</p>

   <p>Achraf Hakimi, literally accused of rape but all I see on TL are random men rejoicing his divorce apparently bcz gold digger mom of his kids won’t get anything as properties are on his own mama’s name.

<p>However, regarding the divorce’s outcome, it seems Hakimi’s wife will have nothing to take from the marriage as Hakimi has nothing to his name, no assets, no finance, and no wealth. <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/psg/2023/04/14/6439521022601d2a248b45b8.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Public sources </a>say everything he owns is in his mother’s name. This is not stopping the wife from giving half of her assets to Hakimi as per the prenuptial agreement.</p>
<p>This move has caused a massive uproar in the social space. How will a man put all his money in his mother’s name? The real definition of mama’s boy. While some have hailed the PSG player, others believe the move is too immature.</p>

<p>If you have not watched the Gangs of Lagos, you are in for a long ride. The movie has made headlines for its storyline, character and plot and boy, some people seem very displeased with the portrayal of certain traditional and cultural symbols.</p>
<p>The producer gave the audience an insight into what Isale-Eko is supposedly all about at the beginning, alongside some of the negative outlooks on Lagos and its politics. But I wish that was all, the movie also had a negative depiction of some cultural activities like the Eyo Masquerade, and this did not sit well with some people.</p>

<p>Since the release of the film, the Isale-Eko community have issued a warning to the producers of the negative depiction of their image. The Lagos State Government have also issued a statement expressing its displeasure over the movie, which it described as a “total abomination”, particularly as it portrayed the State’s culture in a negative limelight.</p>

<p>Can you remember Eleven from Stranger Things? Yes, the main character, with all the power to fight the Demogorgon, is getting married. The love birds have reportedly been dating for two years now, and Jake Bongiovi, the son of the popular actor, singer and guitarist Jon Bon Jovi, is also a player in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>The couple on Instagram and have since been an “awwn” symbol for many young fans. Milly Bobby Brown, who has received nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards, shooked the internet with her engagement pictures to Jake Bongiovi.</p>
<p>The problem is not that she is engaged; it is that she is 19 years old, an age that many people deem still too young for commitments like marriage, especially in a world where celebrity divorce dramas are very common.</p>

   <p>"But Milly Bobby Brown is 19!! She shouldn't be getting married?" <br><br>Uhhhh okay? She's an adult and it's not like she's marrying someone way older than her.
