Yesterday, controversial actress Tonto Dikeh was busted for trying to deceive her fans after she shared a photo of herself at a press conference.
The actress was busted after she shared pictures of herself at the pulpit supposedly speaking to an audience at a conference organized by Modul University Dubai.
As seen in the pictures, it appears like the actress was never speaking to any audience and that it was all an “audio conference”.
Well, the actress has defended herself by reposting an appreciation message from Modul University Dubai.
“Thank you Tontolet for sharing your experience” the university posted on Instagram and Tonto Dikeh reposted their message with the caption “Thankyou so much MODUL University Dubai for acknowledging me. Education is breath!”

Jaiyeola Kuti is no doubt a household name in the Yoruba movie industry. She has carved a niche for herself and she is good at what she does.
The Nigerian movie industry is flooded with unhealthy competition and marital woes, thus we are not surprised that Jaiye Kuti hides her marriage and family from the public.
Food, drinks, amazing décor, upbeat music, all of these are crucial to having an amazing party, but none of it means anything without having the liveliest crowd in the room.

Fans had the utmost pleasure of sharing the stage with the music legend and taking pictures with him.
The event was a roller coaster of unending fun with activities like the football poll, fashioned after the ingenuous S5. The football poll arena was designed like the Infinix S5 screen and fans had to target the infinity O element of the screen to score points .
There was also an award session to appreciate the efforts of certain individuals who have contributed to the success of the brand during the year. Award categories include; shooter master, Device review master, Campus ambassador of the year, supportive fan, female fan of the year, male fan of the year, and so on.
The turnout at the event was massive and this points to the fact that a large number of youths have found a brand that truly represents them and equally complements their lifestyle.

Dear Alisha Aaliyah Powers,
I was already two months pregnant when I found out that I was pregnant. Truth be told, It was a huge surprise because I wasn’t ready to be a mom, my life was mentally, emotionally financially & spiritually castrated. I didn’t know where or how to begin building up my life all up again. But you my daughter, the moment I found out that you were in my tummy, I realized that the storm is truly over.
You opened doors for mommy, you brought uncountable joy into my life, you gave me hope again, you gave me opportunities I thought were forever gone, you fixed my life back up again, you turned the confused mommy into a glowing mommy.
I promise that for as long as I breathe, I will build an empire that you and your siblings will enjoy from, you will never lack, you will be an outstanding queen that you are meant to be, you already are, I will never allow a fly or a pig to touch you. You have no idea how happy that I am your mother, a woman that carried you for complete 9months and gently pushed you out with an exact 5minutes natural birth.
Cutting your umbilical cord myself and using my hands to bring you out of my virginal was the greatest priceless moment for me?. The Joy.
I appreciate you, I love you so much beyond words, I will never abandon you, I will always lend you a shoulder/ear when you need it, quit sleeping just to keep you company if I have too.
You are my Rock, I am your shield. You are my Heart, I am your water. My forever screensaver. My carbon copy. Photocopy mu. NWA mommy. Ada Europe. Ada Chukwu. Blessed child. Nwa chukwu gozi. The world’s prettiest child. My pride. My muse.
The court trial of Afeez Fashola a.k.a Naira Marley who had been docked over alleged criminal conspiracy and credit card fraud will be re-arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on February 27, 2020.
During his resumed sitting on Thursday December 12, the first prosecution witness identified as Dalhatu Buhari was cross-examined by his counsel Olalekan Ojo (SAN).
Naira Marley in court today, 22nd October, 2019.
Upon being cross-examined, Dalhatu stated that he doesn’t need a password to access the defendant’s computer by the standards of his training and that cyber security training was available to anyone.
When asked if any expert in cybersecurity could access a computer and do what he likes on it in relation to the credit card details that were allegedly found on the defendant’s computer, he said;
“ It is not possible for just any expert in cyber security to access a computer and do anything he likes on it.
“This is because there are various aspects in cyber security and not all the tools used in cyber security are accessible to all the various aspects.”
Buhari also told the court that his analysis only recovered card details that were allegedly found on Naira Marley’s laptop even though he couldn’t get the date of registration of the administration of the account “because it is exclusive to the Apple Operating System and is only accessible to the company.”
EFCC’s statement added that their witness concluded his testimony by affirming that only the investigator could determine if the cards were fraudulently used.
The case was adjourned to February 27 and 28, 2020 thereafter.
Nigerian lesbian and LGBT rights campaigner, Awhobiwom Pamela Adie is celebrating 10th anniversary of her ”freedom day”. a day on which she came out of the closet.
Taking to Facebook yesterday, she shared a throwback photo from her bridal shower and listed her achievements since she came out as gay in 2011 to the shock of her ex-husband, family and friends.
Read below:
I always mark this day, December 12, as my “Freedom Day” because it was the day my life began to change Frfr. By now, I would have had 3 children and would have been celebrating the 10th anniversary of the wedding to my ex-husband. Many would have clapped and congratulated me for having been married for so long. But I wouldn’t have been honest with my self and those celebrating me…no one would know that I am lesbian behind closed doors. But today, I celebrate my truth and my freedom.
So much has changed in the last decade. First of all, I was 25years old at the beginning of the decade and now, at the end, I’m 35. I have gotten married, gotten divorced, came out of the closet, and earned 2 masters degrees. In the same time, I have gone from a full head of locs to a three-quarter head of locs, lost a dog and got a new dog companion, Midge.
Within this timeframe, I have led a global campaign that mobilized people to stop a deeply homophobic pastor from entering South Africa to spread hate, been listed as one of 100 most inspiring women in Africa, listed among the 10 most powerful names in Advocacy in Nigeria, spoke at the World Economic Forum, received the Young Alumni Achievement Award, wrote, produced and directed my first documentary film, and became an Obama Foundation Leader.
But it hasn’t been all rosy. I was broke many times because I was committed to seeing the end of my film project. My heart was broken multiple times, I cried a lot. I was sad many times. I loved again and again. I showed up. I fell short many times. I didn’t give up. I believed most times, and other times, I wasn’t as sure. I knew myself a lot more than I ever thought. And I also met some very awesome people…including the love of my life!
I traveled to 6 new countries, I faced some of my fears – I facilitated 3 training sessions of LGBTQ+ activists from across Africa, screened my film in 5 countries, went skydiving and parasailing – went on the desert safari, gotten 3 tattoos, did a safari tour, stayed at the Burg Al Arab, went ziplining, visited Nelson Mandela’s prison cell, and challenged the Nigerian government for infringing on my right to freely associate.
I say all this not to brag (well, there’s a lil bit of that) but to say that nothing ever stays the same forever. When we open up to living our truth, we can explore and take opportunities as they present themselves. Sure, there were times I had doubts or felt unworthy. But I abandoned religion and found Meditation, which helped me overcome my self-doubt and guilt.
As a side note, I have to reject the notion that I am somehow “lucky”. I’m not lucky. I paid my dues. I paid the heavy price and I’m getting the reward. So, please don’t say “she’s lucky”.
Anyway, I hope this inspires you to be all you can be and open yourself to life by focusing and working on the things you want to achieve. If all these can happen in the last 10 years, imagine what can happen in the next 10? Imagine what YOU can achieve in the next 10 years!
Begin with the end in mind.
Thank you to my many helpers who have contributed to my journey in the last decade. Some of what was achieved was possible because of your support.
I’m grateful and hopeful and on that note, I say Cheers to the next decade!

The twitter user with the handle @Mrodanz criticized Peter Okoye in response to the singer’s comment earlier today when he called a fan broke.
Recall Peter had tweeted about having peace of mind ever since he became a solo artist and when a fan suggested that he (Peter) was not minding his business and was in an obvious battle for supremacy with his brother (Paul), Peter replied the fan calling him broke.

When a Nigerian celebrity has no meaningful response to give after saying something stupid, they proceed to call you broke.
And they forget that they became rich because broke fans buy their music, buy tickets for their shows.
Btw, Peter (Mr P) is an insecure, childish egghead.
