Don Jazzy, who was seemingly amused by the sight, stood up and pulled Laycon to himself as they hugged each other for a moment.

I have not been served.
But since this is public record, let’s discuss it.
What are your thoughts?
I was insultingly offered 15k and 2,500 a month to sign an NDA but I declined. I gained legal counsel in which we countered his offer. Mind you his first initial offer wasn’t disclosed in the terms of his proposed NDA.
Therefore I was pressured and influenced to sign. Which was already a violation of his own NDA 🤦🏽♀️ He denied knowing me and our relationship to his lawyers and we’re asked for proof of our affair…now I’m being sued for extortion?
This is such a manly egotistical move. I’ve kept it private but you made it public with the lawsuit. 🤷🏽♀️.
All these claims of interviews and talk show threats will have to be proved in court so… 🤷🏽♀️ I haven’t spoke to anyone regarding our relationship

I just saw the deleted tweet from Yemi Alade , depression is not a function of you focusing on what you don’t have, and know you can’t make yourself depressed. If you’re coping with depression please speak to your mental health care provider or send a dm

I doubt that’s only what causes depression though, alot comes from childhood trauma and repressed emotion
Empress wrote ;
yemi alade’s tweet is what depression really is about. act woke and deny it but that’s your problem, depression comes when you “LACK” and worry about it too much.. lack of love? lack of money? no family? dead relatives? bad grades? no rest? could be lack of anything
Our realities differ Sha. Maybe Yemi Alade was once depressed because she focused on the things she lacked and now she knows better. What she may not know is that Depression is a subject on its own. Away from what you have or have not.

Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi, has said that the agency is set to clamp down on wanted traffic offenders who have yet to pay their fines.
In a statement issued by the Corps spokesman, Bisi Kazeem, Mr. Oyeyemi said that the corps would go after wanted offenders as from Monday, January 25.
NAN reports that Mr. Oyeyemi had on Friday January 22 held the year’s first “Strategy Session of Zonal Commanding Officers and Sector Commanders on Zero Tolerance to Crashes in 2021’’.
The FRSC boss said that the offenders, who were already declared wanted after exceeding the days of grace period from the dates of arrests and issuance of Notice of Offence tickets, were now being looked for by the corps operatives.
He noted that offenders who voluntarily reported at any of the FRSC offices nationwide and made payment would not be prosecuted.
He said that names of the offenders would be uploaded from the Corps Duty Room Information and Management System (DRIMS) in the next 48 hours.
“It follows that beginning from Monday, January 25, 2021 all commands shall commence the arrest of the targeted offenders, which will include home arrest where necessary, deploying the New Vehicle Identification System (NVIS).
“Offenders with genuine handicaps will be handled with compassion that the case deserves, ” he said. Mr. Oyeyemi said that some offenders booked to pay fines and given dates to report ended up not showing up as their confiscated documents might not be important to them.
“For instance a document such as vehicle licence, which is not expensive to procure, could be forfeited by any offender when he or she is fined N15,000 for committing a traffic offence and the offender can easily afford another document.
“Such offenders would be declared wanted because we have all the information we need to arrest and we will go after them. That is what we are set to do as we will upload their names from the DRIMS,” he said.
Mr. Oyeyemi said that the corps had re-engineered the NVIS such that the data had become more responsive to the detection of foul practices.
He, however, noted that a total of 279 stolen vehicles were recovered in the past six years and handed over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation.
He, therefore, urged stakeholders in the vehicle registration process to ensure that the required detailed information about vehicle ownership was obtained before issuance of number plates.

Former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe is still speaking about his son, Bolu Okupe, who recently came out as a gay man.
Recall that Doyin Okupe released a statement yesterday stating that he is vehemently opposed to homosexuality, shared a new post on social media this morning where he prayed for his son, Bolu, and stated that Bolu isn’t a criminal and that he lives in France where homosexuality isn’t a crime.
Doyin who was in the Goodluck Jonathan government that signed the anti-gay law in 2014, wrote;
”I love all the children God has given me, Bolu inclusive.
I pray for them to excel in their fields of endevours.
Bolu will still be celebrated on this wall, in Nigeria and globally, in the name of Jesus.
I believe the Scriptures and the Holy Bible assures me in Isaiah 3 vs 10:
TELL THE RIGHTEOUS, IT SHALL BE WELL WITH HIM.
All my children shall be for great signs and wonders in Jesus Name.
Bolu is not a criminal. He lives in France where Homosexuality is not a crime.
His present mind set and sexual orientation does not conform to Christian Doctrine which I hold to with my life. But I am certain that with the boldness he has made his declaration, he will still use same attribute to serve God and boldly declare His Glory in Christ Jesus.
