The Nigerian online community is buzzing after a dramatic twist in the ongoing saga between popular skit maker Carter Efe and his former partner, Nuella. The story, which began with a breakup announcement, has taken an unexpected turn with a public declaration of love from Carter's colleague, Kolu, and been further complicated by serious allegations of physical abuse.
Kolu's Surprising Declaration and Critique
Following Carter Efe's confirmation that he has been single for over a year, ending his relationship with the mother of his child, fellow comedian Kolu made a bold public statement. In a video that quickly went viral, Kolu did not mince words, criticising Carter's decision to end the relationship.
Kolu expressed clear romantic interest in Nuella, directly telling Carter Efe to "leave her for me." He confidently added, "I'll marry her. I have money and car, you don't have car. Leave her for me." His remarks, delivered with noticeable excitement, have sparked a frenzy of mixed reactions across social media platforms, with many users debating the appropriateness of his timing and manner.
Dark Clouds: Allegations of Abuse Surface
As the news of the split trended, a much more serious narrative emerged. Allegations of domestic violence against Carter Efe, which had circulated in 2024, were reignited with new apparent evidence. A friend of Nuella, who is also referred to as Emmanuella online, leaked WhatsApp conversations detailing harrowing claims.
The friend, Mss_Mona 1, alleged that Carter Efe subjected Nuella to physical beatings and even evicted her and their baby from the home when the child was just three months old. "Cater will beat her and Chase her out of the house with the baby... at 3month postpartum cater throw Elma out of the house and the baby," she wrote. She further claimed that Nuella had sought help from human rights organizations without success.
Adding weight to these claims, social media critic VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse) shared a video that appears to show Nuella with a visibly swollen face. These allegations have shifted the conversation from celebrity gossip to a grave matter of alleged abuse, drawing widespread condemnation from netizens.
Social Media Erupts with Mixed Reactions
The online sphere has been divided in its response to the unfolding drama. While some engaged with Kolu's unusual proclamation humorously, questioning the clarity of his language, others focused intensely on the abuse allegations.
User @phlexyl joked about Kolu's mode of speech, asking, "Which language this one dey talk? Abi na Kolish?" while @21zavic expressed concern that Kolu might be getting involved in a complicated situation. However, the tone turned serious as more users digested the abuse claims, with many calling for accountability and justice for Nuella.
In a related contrast, the article notes that Carter Efe recently received public support from music star Davido during a Twitch stream, an act praised by commentator GehGeh. This was juxtaposed against criticism of fellow artist Wizkid for not offering similar support to the streamer.
The situation remains fluid, combining elements of celebrity fallout, shocking romantic advances, and disturbing personal allegations. It highlights the intense scrutiny Nigerian public figures face and the power of social media to amplify both personal conflicts and serious accusations. The public now watches to see if any formal responses or actions will follow the serious claims made against Carter Efe.
