Ne-Yo’s wife, Crystal Renay, accuses him of cheating on her for 8 years

Renay made this known via her Instagram page on Saturday, July 30, 2022. In what many have described as a passionate post, Renay said the music star accused her husband of cheating on her with “numerous” other women over the course of their nearly decade-long relationship.

“8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous of women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them!” she wrote.

“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t,” she continued.

“I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect. I gained 3 beautiful children out of this but nothing else but wasted years and heartache.”

“If someone can’t love you the way you deserve then it’s up to you to love yourself. With no hate in my heart, I wish him nothing but the best.”

On Sunday, July 31, Neyo responded to his wife’s post on Twitter.

“For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors,” he tweeted.

“Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums. I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this time.”

Renay and Neyo started dating in 2015. Neyo proposed that same year.

The couple briefly split in 2020 before remarrying in 2022, throwing a lavish ceremony in Las Vegas to celebrate their reunion.

Forex: How NNPC remitted $2.7 billion in six months

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited remitted $2.7 billion in six months, from January to June this year, into its accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The revelation has put to rest claims that the national oil company has not been contributing to the national purse.

This claim has also led to another that the lack of contribution by the NNPC, which trades largely in foreign exchange, was responsible for the spiraling value of the naira.

The funds remitted comprise of $645 million for dividend paid by the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited and $1.786 billion from the NNPC operational activities.

Further details showed that the NNPC Limited remitted $18.77 million in January 2022,  $194.56 million in February 2022, and $373.233 million in March 2022.

Other NNPC remittances were $247.884 million in April 2022, $591.565 million in May 2022 and $880.906 million in June 2022.

This followed claims that zero remittance by the NNPC Limited has been responsible for the acute scarcity of the dollar, leading to the sharp depreciation of the naira last month.

The naira depreciated by N3.95 to N429 per dollar at the end of July in the Investor and Exporters window from N425 per dollar at the end of June.

Similarly, the naira depreciated by N95 to N710 in the parallel market at the end of July from N615 per dollar at the end of June.…

Chloe Kelly’s heroics gift Lionesses historic UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 victory

Chloe Kelly wrote her name in football history – scoring the winner to hand the Women’s EURO 2022 to England, who beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley.

A crowd of 87,192 – the highest attendance for any Euros final men’s or women’s – were present as it took extra-time to separate them, as one might have expected from these two teams whose defenses have proved impressively solid throughout the tournament.

Substitute Ella Toone put England in front against the eight-time European champions with a beautiful lob after a slide-rule pass from Keira Walsh. But Lina Magull equalized with another fantastic strike – her third of the tournament – to force the added half-hour.

And then Kelly – another sub – made herself a legend by bundling the ball over the line, and then stripping off her shirt in celebration, emulating the USA’s Brandi Chastain back in 1999.

England’s USA moment

It ended with a delirious Kelly tearing off her shirt and whirling it around her head – just as Brandi Chastain of the USA did as she scored the winning penalty in the final of the 1999 Women’s World Cup. That, too, was the most successful edition of that tournament up until that point.

But England’s matchup with Germany was a game that did not go quite according to plan.

England would have expected to set up to deal with Alexandra Popp, the Germany striker who had scored in every single match of the campaign up until the final, and Beth Mead’s nearest challenger for the Golden Boot.

That would have involved a strong aerial threat, with four of Popp’s six goals of the tournament coming from her head.

But seconds before the teams took to the pitch, word filtered through that Popp was out of the starting lineup due to an injury incurred in the warmup. She was replaced by Lea Schuller – a very different type of threat, with additional pace and tricky feet.

Either way, the match was always going to have plenty of determination and the additional …
