Ben Ogbeiwi, popularly known as Uncle Ben, is known as the strict and no-nonsense teacher at the reality show, told Sunday Scoop;
“Learning about music is serious education. I am sure you once had a teacher who was mean to you; do you still remember him? I am sure you do. I didn’t learn in a mediocre style.
A lot of people want to be praised for what they didn’t achieve. I won’t allow that. If dignity is not in the industry, there is no way we will have any form of credibility. If you don’t learn properly, there is no way you can excel.
If people think I am mean because I am trying to teach my students, it is okay. But regardless of what people say, I will not change my style. Every time I say I want to leave Project Fame, they beg me to stay.”
According to him also, adults are the most difficult people to train and he prefers working with children.
On why winners of reality shows struggle in the music industry, he stated ;
“Musicians who didn’t get into the music industry via competitions find it easy to relate to DJs, OAPs, and bloggers. But for those who won competitions, it is a different story. People are always after the money they collected from the reality shows because they want to take their share.
Ben Ogbeiwi is a seasoned musician able to play multiple instruments. His love for music started in the 80s and after a few years as a member of a church choir, he auditioned for and became a member of the group ‘Steve Rhodes Voices’ in 1990.

#FreeTheSheeple
◄ Mark 7 ► [8] For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.” [9] Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition.
[10] For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’e and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’
[11] But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’
[12] In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents.
[13] And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”
In light of this new declaration, social media has been plunged into a hot argument on whether the claims are correct or not .

CEO of Innoson Motors, Mr Innocent Chukwuma and his legal war with Guarantee Trust bank has just escalated to another level.
Nigeria’s top Anti-graft agency,the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a four-count charge of fraud against the chairman of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma and his younger brother, Charles.
The Chukwuma brothers, have been accussed by the agency of obtaining containers of motorcycles spare parts by false pretence between 2009 and July 2011 in Lagos. The goods, said to be property of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, were allegedly obtained from Mitsui O.S.K Lines Limited in Apapa.
The agency said the bothers “With intent to defraud, induced the staff of Mitsui O.S.K and Maersk Line Limited to deliver to them through their clearing agents, the motorcycle spare parts, moulds of spare parts and steel structures and raw materials called polyvinlchlorid, imported from China”.
The accused were said to have falsely pretended that they were authorised by GTB to clear the goods and take delivery of them.
Innocent Chukwuma has however consistently said himself and his brother are innocent of the allegation.
Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose has directed that 80 percent of the petrol in the Government Fuel Dump be released to two petrol stations in Ado Ekiti, and to be sold to the public at the control price of N145 per litre – in order to reduce the effects of the current fuel scarcity in the state.
The governor, who made this known through his verified Twitter Handle said “The maximum a single individual can buy will be 25 litres.”
He said:
“I cannot be keeping fuel in the govt house dump while our people keep suffering. I have asked them to pump out 80% of the petrol in the Govt House Fuel Dump to be sold at the control price of N145. I am going to town to locate the two petrol stations where the petrol will be sold.”
The governor lamented the hardship being faced by Nigerians as a result of the petrol scarcity.
“The APC led federal government has turned the joy of Nigerians to groaning. People can not travel to meet their families because of the wickedness of this APC government. This hardship is too much for Nigerians to bear at this time and it is obvious that President Muhammadu Buhari does not have solution to the fuel scarcity.”

Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo paid a visit to one of the Filling stations in Lagos Island, where he turned to a petrol attendant in order to get a first hand feel of the state of the hardship Nigerians are currently experiencing.
According to his official photographer Novo Isioro, who shared photos from the visits,
‘this evening, the Vice President made a stop at Oando Petrol Station by Elegushi where he engaged with citizens in queues. He went pump by pump to get insight on people’s experience, especially the wait time.
Thereafter he made similar stop at Heyden Petroleum by VGC. He was able to uplift people who has already been stressed from their wait and promised to critically address the situation’.
When you’ve spent over 5 hours in Lagos Traffic, this “Fuel Scarcity” period, what do you do? You hold unto that moment to do a perfect photoshoot.
A set of youths who were stressed out, yesterday in Lagos traffic due to the fuel scarcity – decided to do something interesting and fun for themselves.
According to Thorlannie, a photographer who shared the pictures, they were in traffic for over 5 hours and hence decided to do a photo shoot. Now, they’ve got themselves trending online.
Below is what was shared on Twitter;
“We were in traffic for over 5 hours yesterday and we decided to do a photo shoot. Nigerians see what Buhari has caused #fuelscarcity..”
Wizkid allowed a youngster freestyle at his concert.. Apparently, the boy was in front of the stage, and he picked him up, gave him the mic, allow him freestyle and then signed him to his Starboy record label, and also pledged N10 million to him to grow.
Talk about, receiving your end-of-year blessing before the new year!
Top Nigerian Singers, Wizkid and Davido who many thought are having serious issues, over what folks tagged as “The Battle of Supremacy”, were seen performing together at Wizzy’s concert, #WizkidTheConcert this morning.
Staboy, Wizkid joined Davido to perform “Fia” at the concert which took place December 24 at Eko Hotel, Lagos.
We would recall that Davido, while receiving his award at The Future Awards Africa 2017, had said that he is not fighting anyone in the industry as many believe.
“I don’t dwell on things like that. Music is my focus, not rivalry. It’s all about making good music for me, and I believe that the sky is wide enough for all to fly. This year has been very great for me and I am thankful to God and all my fans. I have been very busy and it has been a roller-coaster for me. I don’t take it for granted, and I will always put my best into all that I do. It is about showcasing Nigeria to the world in the proper light, and I am glad that there is now more focus on African music. There are indeed a lot of talents out here.”
It was reported some time ago that the founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo who is among the richest pastors Africa – owns four private jets.
This has not gone down well with Nigerians who never forget to bring up issue of extravagance and flamboyancy anytime they hear the name of the pastor or the church.
Writer and journalist Leke Beecroft, has revealed in details how private jets the church currently has. Read below;
DOES WINNERS’ CHAPEL OWN FOUR JETS?
The biggest criticism concerning the Church ownership of jets is that a particular Church, Winners’ Chapel owns four jets. Infact, the respected Forbes Magazine has quoted the same information severally. In an environment negatively disposed to the growth and prosperity of Churches, this is well understood. However, what is not understood is that falsehood can be bandied for so long without critics caring to crosscheck.
It seems that as far as any information about the Church might seem to put her in bad light, critics would always be ready to shut their brains and put off their thinking caps to accept it. Knowing the leader of the Church in question however, Bishop Oyedepo, a man of great faith, would never insist that the Church does not have four jets; instead, he has prophesied that there would soon be at least 10 jets with parking for helicopters in addition and owned by worshippers; but what are the facts? How many jets does the Church actually own?
The first aircraft bought in 1996 for N100 million was an 8 seater HS (Hawker Sydney) 25 400B with registration 5N-WMA (World Mission Agency) for the propagation of the Gospel across the globe. On September 18, 1996, the aircraft was dedicated.
Note that unlike the situation with Oduyemi of Bethel, a one branch Church, Winners’ Chapel had just launched her AGIP (African Gospel Invasion Program) 2 years earlier in 1994 with a vision to take Africa for Christ.
Also, the Church was already holding her very hectic annual apostolic visits (it was on one of such hectic apostolic visits that Pastor (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo fell ill and almost lost her life) and the first trip of the aircraft in Nigeria was to Kaduna when Bishop Oyedepo ministered at the Garden of Faith in September 1996.
I was privileged to be in that service as a teenager and by the next day, I was curious enough to join a Deacon in the Church to see the jet for myself at the Kaduna Airport.
Like I said earlier, politicians travel on national campaigns once every 4 years using jets in Nigeria. For a Church undertaking annual missionary or apostolic visits, I saw every need for the use of an aircraft. Campaigning for Jesus round the country every year deserved the use of a jet.
In June 2004, a second aircraft was bought as a ‘replacement’ for the first one. The new aircraft was a HS 800A with registration 5N-PTL (Praise The Lord).
By August 2008, The Challenger 604 with registration N664D (Dominion), a newer and bigger aircraft was gotten at a good deal during the global recession. At this point, the Church had two jets, however, one of the oil majors in Nigeria had taken the HS 800A on lease and were thus paying for it at prevailing commercial rates until it was involved in a minor accident.
Plans to buy a GLEX (Global Express) were later discouraged by Pastor Kenneth Copeland according to Bishop Oyedepo and eventually the two aircraft were sold while the Church airline operators (Dominion Aviation Center) bought two aircraft in replacement; first a helicopter with registration-5N-BQY used for short trips to Landmark University Omu Aran in Kwara from Lagos or from Ota to the Lagos Airport and on a few occasions to Abuja etc.
The helicopter has now been disposed of. The other aircraft which is the ONLY ONE in use presently is a Challenger 605 with registration N633WM (World Mission).
Basically and by design, as new ones came in, old ones were always sold out. The peak of foreign trips by the aircraft was between 2010 and 2013 due to the planting of thousands of Churches from 2010 in which the Church grew from 700 branches to over 6000.
This is certainly a grand ending for the year 2017 for this couple who welcomed a set of twins after 11 years of marriage and 22 of friendship.
It is an amazing year for the Nigerian man, Ude Okoh and his wife who according to multiple reports, dated for 11 years before getting married and 11 years after, they just received their double blessings.
The couple welcomed twin babies following series of pregnancy complications.
Erstwhile Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media,Reno Omokri has in a series of Tweets shared his shocking thoughts about Christmas.
According to Reno who is also a clergyman, “Christmas is an abomination and a blasphemous festival”
See his Tweets below…
Recall, he recently reacted to President Buhari’s recent Christmas speech – saying that President Buhari misquoted the Holy Bible on Christmas.
Read Reno’s article below;
Who writes President Buhari’s statements? His spokesman is a pastor like me, yet he ignorantly released the President’s Christmas message which said inter alia that:
“The Holy Book describes Christmas as a festival of peace, joy, healing, hope and fulfilment.“
The statement above is a fallacy. The Holy Bible does not mention the word Christmas, neither does it mention that Christians should mark any festival surrounding the birth of Jesus the Messiah (Nabi Isa in Islam).
Christmas is a European holiday, not a Christian holiday.
It is celebrated in Nigeria and much of the world, for the simple reason that it was Europeans that brought modern day Christianity to Nigeria, Africa and much of the world.
I have read the Holy Books of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and while all of them acknowledge the Messiah, NONE of them instructs believers to celebrate Christmas or the birth of Christ.
In fact, God deliberately made sure we do not celebrate the birth of His only begotten Son, Yeshu’a (Jesus) by keeping the actual date of His birth from us.
No one on earth knows the date of the Messiah’s birth.
What the Holy Bible, and Jesus specifically, asks Christians to celebrate is the death of our Lord.
In Luke 22:19 Jesus says:
“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 11:26 reechoes the Messiah’s instruction when he said:
“For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
The reason Jesus asked us to mark His death and not His birth goes all the way back to Solomon (Suleiman in Islam) who said in Ecclesiastes 7:1 that:
“A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.”
The very last thing Jesus said before ascending to heaven is in Matthew 28:18-20, where He said:
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
These words are called The Great Commission in Christianity.
Jesus asked us to teach only those things He commanded us to teach.
Where did He command us to teach Christmas?
As a matter of fact, Christmas was not celebrated for 336 years after Jesus left the earth.
The first Christmas celebration was in the year 336 AD when the Roman Emperor, Constantine, converted the celebration of a pagan mass to mark the winter solstice which glorified European deities. That festival was marked on December 25.
Do not take my word for it. I urge you, in fact I appeal to you to investigate these statements I just made.
That Christmas has become part of the Christian tradition does not mean that it has become acceptable with God.
You and I know that Jesus condemned the Pharisees. Now ask yourself why Jesus condemned them?
Matthew 15:9 gives us the answer:
“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
I have already factually established that Christmas IS NOT Christian doctrine. It is a command of a man. To be precise, the name of that man was Emperor Constantine who ordered everyone in the Roman Empire to celebrate the Winter Solstice as Christmas beginning from 336 AD.
This is the epitome of satanism because The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that:
“for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
If satan asks any true Christian to celebrate a pagan satanic ritual festival, they will never do it. So he just transformed a satanic ritual festival by giving it a new name-Christmas and voila, Christians begin to celebrate what Jesus did not command us to celebrate.
Christmas is an abomination and a blasphemous festival and the Bible warned us about it in 1 Timothy 4:1 that:
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”
Let me ask you a question. If Jesus and the Bible don’t teach Christmas, from where and who does it come from?
After reading this and you want to disagree with me, please quote the biblical verses that support your argument and not what your pastor or a book other than the Bible says.
Christians are the most gullible people. Today’s churches will celebrate anything as long as it is popular. Churches of this age even celebrate Halloween. Yes, Halloween. They attempt to Christianize it, but they celebrate it none the less.
But before I stray too far from my message, let me just state it for the record that President Muhammadu Buhari is wrong on Christmas. But I don’t blame him. I blame Femi Adesina who obviously read (and perhaps wrote) that statement.
The President can celebrate Christmas. Try as my conscience would, I could not persuade President Jonathan not to celebrate Christmas. It would have been political suicide. However, let no President lie against the Holy Spirit and say that “The Holy Book describes Christmas as a festival of peace, joy, healing, hope and fulfilment.“
Like Orubebe, ‘we will not take it, we will not allow it.’ The Holy Books say no such thing!
President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with Nigerians on the lingering fuel scarcity, three weeks after filling stations started grappling with shortages.
“The fuel scarcity being experienced nationwide is regrettable. I sympathize with all Nigerians on having to endure needless fuel queues.
“I’m being regularly briefed, especially on the NNPC’s interventions to ensure that there is enough petrol available during this period & beyond,” the president said on Twitter.
Mr. Buhari said he has directed the NNPC to do something about the crisis, which has left Nigerians stranded and sent prices of commodities through the roof.
“I have the NNPC’s assurance that the situation will improve significantly over the next few days, as new shipments and supplies are distributed across the country.
“I have also directed the regulators to step up their surveillance and bring an end to hoarding and price inflation by marketers,
“Let me also assure that the relevant agencies will continue to provide updates on the situation. I thank you all for your patience and understanding,” he said.
The president has been criticised by opposition party politicians for failing to address the crisis on time.
He was advised to relinquish his position as minister for petroleum by Oby Ezekwesili on Saturday
Mrs. Ezekwesili, a former education minister, said the president handling the ministry to a separate official will help reduce the political influence over it. She said full deregulation would be a lasting solution to the protracted crisis.

The constant comparison between two of Nigeria’s acts, Wizkid and Davido is something that Nigerians should do away with.
Steve Ayorinde
This was the submission of Lagos State Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Mr Steve Ayorinde during a tweetchat with NET to discuss the 2017 edition of One Lagos Fiesta.
The two artistes have become the most sought after pop stars from Nigerians in recent times, which has led to continuous comparison of the two of them.
Wizkid
‘That question should not arise, the almighty has blessed Lagos state in particular and Nigeria in general with some of the most talented artists in the world like Olamide, David and Wizkid who happen to be front-line artistes’, Ayorinde said.
He went on to say that all these artistes, especially for the fact that they were raised in Lagos makes them good ambassadors of the state who need the support of all.
Davido
‘Their fans are happy with their content and artistry. Lagos state is proud to have them as ambassadors to the limitless creative offerings at the centre of excellence. They need our support to climb higher in their nascent but remarkable careers. They will go far!
Davido and Olamide are expected to join a long list of A-List artistes on the line up for this year’s edition of One Lagos Fiesta; an eight day long series of concerts and events that holds from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve.
Less than 72 hours after she cried out for help, screen diva, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has found and reclaimed her lost iPhone.
Recall, YBL had reported few days ago that the beautiful actress cried out after her new iPhone 7 was stolen at the Miss Nigeria Pageant, which held at Eko Hotel and Suite where she was one of the judges.
She took to her Instagram page, to share a screenshot from her iCloud, which shows the phone is currently offline.
She captioned the post;
“So Sad My New Iphone Red 128g, SN:- DNPT9PP8HX98 was stolen last Night During #MissNigeria at the Eko hotel just as I was rounding up with the Judging duties…”
“Pls If you picked it or know Someone who did? Or someone’s trying to sell it to you… It can’t be used its Locked. However very valuable contacts will be lost. Pls help return. Contact @redhotconcepts if you pls have any info.”
“In many countries today, you Must Register your handset just like you do your Sim. Nigeria should adopt same to reduce phone theft.”
A quick check on details on the phone shows it’s an iPhone 7, 128gb.. and it’s worth N300,000.
While pleading for the iPhone to be returned to her, Omotola said though the device was locked – making it useless to whoever took it – her valuable contacts were her primary concern.
In an update on Sunday, she said the iPhone has been “found and returned!”
She wrote:
Found and Returned! Let me pray for you and raise your faith as we are about to Enter a New year. *Anything you don’t give willingly will Never be taken away from you!
*If it leaves you , you will receive it back better, bigger and with more value * You will not be wasteful and complacent with the little the Good lord has given you
* Men and Great Favour Will Rise anytime you call.
* God’s favor will encompass you, envelope you and deliver you and anything that’s yours to you
* You will Not fall out of favor with God
All this I ask in Jesus Mighty Name.
Thanks to all that reached out, didn’t belittle my quest to have MY “affordable” phone back and those who actively worked hard in this regard.
It might seem small…but treat it like much (one of my secrets in life )
So now let’s get on with it…. ?
The former Governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor-Kalu’s daughter, Neya had her white wedding recently and it was graced by quite a number of high-profiled personalities and A-list celebrities.
The likes of 2face, Flavour, Basketmouth, Bovi, including high-profiled politicians like Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Oyegun etc were all in attendance.
Nigerian singer, Gloria Doyle has in a new interview with The Sun, recounted how she suffered domestic violence in her previous marriage.
She also disclosed why she has refused to remarry since her first marriage packed up.
She said:
”I walked out of it with my children alive and faced the challenges, stigma and relegation of being a single mother. I took the bull by the horns for my children’s sake and never got remarried for my children’s sake as well and I am all good about it. I experienced excessive beatings for no just reason. It was very painful. I really don’t know how to explain in. I told my ex that after three years of marriage, I wanted to return to my music career and he got so mad he just couldn’t stop battering me accusing me, that I only wanted to be let loose. It was a very sad experience for me”
On her advise for woemn in abusive relationships, Gloria said:
When a relationship gets to the point of verbal abuse, which leads to physical abuse, if care is not taken, anything could happen so I strongly advice, walk out in peace and not in pieces. I have seen many young women lose their lives because they were unable to let go their abusive husband especially when they depend on their husbands for everything. Women feel very uncomfortable walking out of such relationship because of the stigma attached to being a single mother. I am talking about things like ‘oh, she is a single mother, she separated from her husband, she is a divorcee.’ Please, if you are going through an abusive relationship, separate yourself from it for a while. If it is reconcilable, all good and if it is not reconcilable, each party should move on”.
Gloria who was rumored to be getting married to a younger man a few years ago, said it didn’t work out because she is not mentally ready for marriage but that when she is ready, she will give it another shot.
Nigerian Prophet T.B Joshua has given a thought-provoking Christmas message on the cause of poverty, citing the absence of compassion and love.
Joshua who began in a somber statement he released to Facebook, disclosed that money or resources are not the major factor behind world lack.
“The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are but on how happy others can be because of you,” He said.
Using the Scriptural reference of 1 Corinthians 13:13, he further explained, “The manner you love your neighbour determines the measure of your relationship with God.”
The cleric explained that even those who are materially wealthy are often filled with complaints because they are keeping their wealth, rather than sharing it with others.
“You are rich but you are still complaining – as if you have nothing… You have money yet unanswered questions in your life. You are a president but anytime you are in private, you cry for what you do not have.”
In his words, the solution can only lie in reaching out to ‘find’ those who you can help.
“Possessions do not bless when we keep them. Money does not bless when we keep them in the safe but giving them to help the poor, needy, refugees and others, can. We use money to get what we need but when we keep it, it becomes dormant as if we do not have,” Joshua wrote.
Speaking bluntly, the cleric – who is known for his extensive humanitarian gestures – pinpointed that:
“The cause of poverty and hardship is because we have not been giving to help others. We keep our possessions and save our money. We say there is not money but money is everywhere. The cause of poverty is because our money is not being circulated.”
Concluding, Joshua called on people to ‘build’ their lives around the principles of love and charity in order to effectively deal with poverty.
“You are blessed to bless others but you are blessed and not blessing others – that is the cause of poverty. Therefore, build your life around your contribution to others, for that is the beauty of life,” he said.
The cleric’s message was reiterated during the activities of the annual Christmas Carol Service held at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) on Friday 22nd December 2017 and broadcast via Joshua’s channel Emmanuel TV.
Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi has in a new interview with Sunday scoop, said that there is nothing wrong about flaunting his wife whenever he wants.
The singer who held a traditional and white wedding last month at The Ark, Okunde Blue Water Drive, Lekki, Lagos with his beautiful wife, Nabila, revealed that he is a man of the people and cannot hide his wife from the public.
He said:
“Everything about me is out there. The reason I often gush about my wife on social media is because I’m proud of the love I have for her. I have nothing to hide. Because I’m a celebrity, a lot of attention is always on me, and whatever I do becomes topic of discussion.
I don’t think it is a crime to appreciate your spouse. In fact, it is something every couple should do more of. But the relationship between me and wife is very tight. We love each other. Nobody can come in between us. Since I got married, I have become a different person. I’m more responsible now.”
On whether his baby mamas wouldn’t feel slighted by all the love he’s showing his wife, the Double Wahala singer said:
“We have perfect understanding among us, and nobody feels slighted about anything. I always make sure I give everyone the respect that they deserve, and that’s all that matters.”
Reacting to his former manager, Danku’s claim that he introduced him to his wife, Oritsefemi said;
“I have no comments about that. It is unnecessary. There are some interviews that I cannot grant. I don’t promote people without any tangible reason.”
Speaking on how he would celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays, Majemite said,
“I give thanks because the year has been so good for me. I will just call some friends and we would celebrate together. I’m also about to release a new song titled, Kiss your Bride. The song is based on my wedding.”

Veteran Nigerian reggae singer-songwriter and guitarist, Majek Fashek, has told controversial OAP Daddy Freeze that he will not allow him shine with his name because he loves cheap publicity.
Daddy Freeze had lambasted Fashek for performing at a concert held by the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly last Sunday.
“I am still searching for the sense in this. I am a huge Majek fan, but do I want to see him perform in a church?”
However, in a reply to Daddy Freeze, Majek Fashek, who has been making serious attempts to redeem his music career, told Sunday Scoop that he didn’t understand why Daddy Freeze wanted to use his name to attain “cheap publicity”.
The ‘holy spirit’ crooner said,
“Before now, I never had issues with him. I am aware that he likes controversies, but he shouldn’t bring me into it. If you listen to my songs, you will realise that they can be played anywhere, including in the church. When I stepped into the church, everyone welcomed me. The pastor embraced me and introduced me to the audience. After all, sinners are welcome in the church.”
Uzoma Omenka,who is the manager of Majek Fashek, had earlier threatened to beat up Daddy Freeze, said he felt bad when he saw his comment because they had put in serious efforts to build Majek’s image after going through a turbulent phase in his life.
Omenka said,
“where I come from in Delta State, we don’t ignore things like that. We don’t give people opportunity to speak evil of us. I know what it has cost us to redeem Majek’s image, so nobody should attempt to destroy our hard work. I don’t want to join issues with him over what he said, but he must show Majek some respect.
“If he calls Majek out again like he recently did, I will flog him like a baby and take him for deliverance. This is not a threat; it is what I can do because I don’t take rubbish. We like peace, but when you look for our trouble, we don’t run from it.”
“Since we were in Abuja, I called a friend that we would be worshipping with them and he told me about their concert. Everyone was excited to see Majek when he came in. When they gave him a microphone to speak, do you expect him to reject it? He only sang for seconds and left the podium.
“Even if he had performed more than three songs, there was nothing bad in that. Majek’s songs such as Love and Affection, and Send Down the Rain glorify God. Majek is not just a musician; he is a crusader and preacher.”
Bobrisky and Denrele Edun are two controversial Nigerian cross dressers who had over time had style battles, that you can either love or hate…
Well, whenever Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky’s name is mentioned, Denrele Edun surely comes to most folk’s mind…… Though the latter had once asked Nigerians to desist from comparing him with Bobrisky, but people still think they share a lot of similarities.
In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, Denrele said he has only met Bobrisky once and it was before he became famous on social media.
He stated:
“I don’t even know the guy personally. We’ve never done anything together and we don’t have anything in common. I read about him and see things he shares on social media.
“I only met him once when I visited Toyin Lawani (a celebrity fashion designer); you know Toyin is my friend. When I met him, he was not as popular as he is now and we had a friendly conversation. Then, he was always with Toyin. I am even surprised they are having issues with each other now because they used to be very close.”
According to him, he doesn’t have any problem with Bobrisky as people can become famous by different means.
“People should let him be. He is having fun and he enjoys every bit of it. I don’t have any problem with what he is doing. He understands the power of the social media and he is using it to his advantage. People who think I gave birth to Bobrisky say so because they don’t know my story. I worked to get to where I am today.
“Even when he was saying things about me on social media after I asked people not to compare me with him, I deliberately didn’t reply him because I knew he just wanted attention. At some point, you may need all the attention but one will get tired in the long run. He is enjoying the attention presently,” he explained.
Also, Edun insisted that marriage was still top on his mind, but he needed to make sure things were in place before starting a family.
“You know I am a family man. I need to make sure my family members and everyone around me are okay before taking a wife. I will definitely marry; it will happen at the right time.”
