Cross-dresser, Bobrisky really has the time for trolls, as he’s refused to be put down by the criticisms from folks on the internet, following allegations that he scammed a 17-year-old stylist.
Recall it all started after a young stylist named, Lex took to her page to narrate how Bobrisky employed her services, and refused to pay his bill even after he wasted her time.
The cross-dresser of course reacted to the story and threatened to sue the 17-year-old.
Folks refused to believe his version of the events and they stormed his Instagram to drag him for scamming a teenager….. This apparently has pissed off the SnapChat star.
Writing on his Instagram this morning, the socialite dragged all his haters for filth, especially those who have been mocking him since the news of his fight with the Texas-based stylist surfaced.
For the women, he tells them to go get better dicks, and for the men, he dismissed them as broke folks who stoop low to wash their partners’ underwear.

Younger sister of Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, Mo Fayose, had a live video session on her Facebook page yesterday where she discussed with her followers about insecurities some women suffer about their breast sizes.
According to her, after she had her baby prematurely some years ago, she lost confidence in her boobs and still has little or no confidence in them.
Mo says if she wins a lottery now, the first thing she would do is a boobs lifting surgery. Mo says women with boobs they don’t like have low self esteem and tend to hide it when they get intimate with their lovers. She says when she wants to get intimate with any man, she has to turn off the light just because she feels insecure about her boobs. She advised women to do whatever they can to ensure they have confidence about their body.
She said
“I lost my self confidence just because of the size of my breast and I struggled with that for many many years. I had my first child about 18 years ago. She was premature and she came very very early. She was in intensive unit for sometime and as a result of that, I had to expres breast milk. It was really difficult. It was pretty hard. I was approached by the nurses who asked me if I am willing to donate breast milk. So I said yes I can donate breast me so they gave me this machine that lokks very industrial. You connect your boobies to and you express milk. I expressed milk for like three months and I was donating 6 liters of breast milk a week. So they would come to my house to pick up the breast milk and take it to the disadvantaged children or children that their mothers are unable to express breast milk. Before that time, I wasn’t the type that would go for bras because my breast were that onpoint. I was wearing bra only when I wanted to because my breasts were onpoint. I could flaunt them in front of my husband at that time because they were so good and I like dthe way my boobies were. They were looking straight. Unfortunately now, they are looking down. They have missed the plug. I didn’t like that and I still don’t like it. Its not that I don’t like it, its about how I feel when I am with a man. I tell people that when I win a lottery, the first thing I am going to do is to do something to are these my boobies. They have got to be done. They have got to be lifted up without bras”

Senator Ademola Adeleke, in an interview with National Assembly TV, the dancing senator, who was sworn into office last week to represent Osun West in the senate, says he loves to dance and takes it as a form of exercise.
He was quoted saying
“Like we normally say there is time for everything. There is time to laugh. There is time to cry but most of the time I love dancing and I take it as an exercise. My kids got it(dancing) from me, Sina Rambo and B-Red and of course my nephew Davido. I train them and as a matter of fact, they will tell me that Dad, we can’t catch up with you. I love dancing
Senator Adeleke added that he became the face of APC campaigns some years back because of his dancing skills.
“When I joined APC briefly, I campaigned with Aregbesola and my late brother. As a matter of fact, we put what is called interload into the campaIgn because you go to most campign, it is so dry but when you put an interload into a campaign where you dance, laugh and everything, As a matter of fact, I became the face of the campaign. Without me, there is no campaign. Now that they messed up and I went to my former party, they are now using it against me that I am dancing. I even danced with my daughter. They never knew it was my daughter. They thought it was someone else but I told them that that is a lesson to all fathers, You have to be close to your daughters. I am very close to my children and that is why I dance”
The renowned foreign actor with Nigerian background, John Boyega has pointed out his criticism against the popular and favorite movie, Game of Thrones.
In an interview with GQ Style, the Hollywood star condemned the lack of casting black folks in the Game of Thrones just like Lord of the Rings, which gained wide recognition and acceptability.
According to him:
“There are no black people in Game Of Thrones”
“You don’t see one black person in Lord Of The Rings. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen”, Boyega expressed.
He however blamed the lack of diversity as such connected to racism which should not be found in casting for British movies.
“You see different people from different backgrounds, different cultures, every day. Even if you’re racist, you have to live with that. We can ruffle up some feathers”, he ended.
John Boyega famously known for his roles in Star Wars and the Nigerian movie on Chimamanda Adichie‘s Half of a Yellow Sun, is the latest cover of GQ Style.
The 25-year old actor was born in Southern London to Nigerian parents.

The Oyo state Governor Abiola Ajimobi has ordered the reopening of Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo after meeting with the students, staff and management.
The state Governor had earlier ordered the shutdown of the institution following the unruly conduct of the students during protests on June 2.
After the students were led by the Provost of the college, Dr Rasak Adefabi, alongside the college management team to apologise, Governor Ajimobi ordered the immediate resumption of academic activities.
At the end of the meeting, the Governor said:
“Our students should always engage government and relevant stakeholders in dialogue on issues that affect them.
“You have apologised to the government and we have seen that you are sober.
“We have accepted your apology and hereby announce the re-opening of the institution with immediate effect”.
He asked that the school management cooperates with the auditors sent by the owner-states (Oyo and Osun) to investigate the finances of the state university.
“Is it wrong for government to demand the auditing of a public institution, which government has been spending on?”, he queried.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has reiterated the government’s decision that any programme meant for Nigerians must be produced in Nigeria, saying he was not appointed Minister to develop the economy of other countries at the expense of the Nigerian economy. He said this in a statement released today.
In a statement he released today, Lai Mohammed said the Creative Industry’s potential of creating 1 million jobs in three years cannot be realized if jobs meant for Nigerians are being exported to other countries under the guise of producing, in other countries, programmes to be consumed in Nigeria.
“I didn’t say that henceforth, all music videos and films will be produced in Nigeria, or that the production of music videos or films outside Nigeria will be banned. All I said was that if a programme is designated as a Nigerian (local) content programme, we will amend the Code to ensure that it is produced in Nigeria. On that, there is no going back.” he said
The Minister recalled how his office was bombarded with calls from concerned Nigerians when the last edition of the “Big Brother Naija” was produced in South Africa, saying he subsequently directed the National Broadcasting Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the controversy.
“Following the findings, we decided to amend the relevant sections of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code to prevent a repeat of that development. We are now in the process of doing that, so that anyone who intends to produce a reality show or similar programmes for Nigerians cannot take the production of such shows outside Nigeria.
Nigerians are a very proud and resourceful people, and we are sure that no Nigerian will be against a decision to prevent the jobs that can be done in Nigeria by Nigerians from being exported to other countries,” he said.
In a related development, Alhaji Mohammed has said the Broadcasting Code is also being amended to help develop the local football league.
“This (amendment) is not just about the Creative Industry. We are also going to ensure that the NBC Code is amended in a manner that if any company in Nigeria today invests a million dollars in promoting or supporting any (football) team or league outside Nigeria, I want the Broadcasting Code to be amended to the effect that it will not allow that programme to be aired unless that company supports the Nigerian League with a percentage that will not be less than 30 per cent of what was spent.
“This is because we cannot continue to develop the economies of the other parts of the world from the sweat of Nigerians and at the expense of the Nigerian economy,” the Minister said.
The Federal High Court in Lagos has on Wednesday ordered the seizure of a property located in Banana Island area of Lagos State belonging to former Minister of Petroleum Resources Allison-Madueke Diezani.
The property reportedly contains 24 apartments, made up of 18 flats and 6 penthouses, according to court documents presented at the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The court also ordered the seizure of funds amounting to $2,740,197.96 and N84,537,840.70, which was reportedly rent received on the property.
Anselem Ozioko, counsel for EFCC, told the judge Justice Chuka Obiozor that Diezani made the $37.5m payment for the purchase of the property in cash, moving the money from her house into the seller’s account in First Bank, both in Abuja.
He said:
Nothing could be more suspicious than someone keeping such huge amounts in her apartment. Why was she doing that? To avoid attention.
We are convinced beyond reasonable doubt because as of the time this happened, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke was still in public service as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.
The judge adjourned the case until August 7, 2017, for anyone interested in the property and funds to appear before him.
For alleged assault and stripping a lady naked in 2014, three Kenyan have been given life imprisonment by the law of the country.
Edward Gitau, Nicholas Mwangi and Meshak Mwangi were caught in a video tape harassing the woman in spite of her mini short and fitted shirt.
The three men, however, had their death sentences commuted to life imprisonments because Kenya’s ban on carrying out executions means the trio will spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Maria Ude Nwachi, a lawmaker at the Ebonyi state House of Assembly, said this in a post she shared on her Facebook page today.
Maria said any man that bleaches does not deserve to be called a man.
She added, Michael Jackson bleached till he ended up looking like an unfortunate white woman.
Read the post below ;
FOR BLEACHING IDIOTS:
Skin bleaching liable for skin cancer, hypertension-Dermatologist
[The most idiotic thing on this earth for anyone to do is to tamper with your natural color. When I see ladies who bleach, it tells me all I need to know about them. They have nothing upstairs. They are shallow, materialistic, worldly, vapid, self-loathing with zero confidence & zero self-esteem.
They are also as dumb as a wall. I don’t even give a damn if they are successful materially, I see them as failures in life. Michael Jackson with all the money he had, attempted to be white, but ended up looking like an unfortunate white woman.
You will surely end up looking like a monster sooner or later if you keep hating your color and tampering with it using your various despicable bleaching/ whitening creams and concoctions. The health implications of this stupid and embarrassing act of telling the world, God made a mighty error with their natural tone that requires self-correction, cannot be over-stated. So many girls that were beautiful naturally, but decided being yellow was their only hope, started rubbing rubbish bleaching cream, today look like worn-out hags that sleep with 50 men a day. Continue, idiots.
You’re a man & you are bleaching or whitening your skin, you do not deserve to be a man. You be 100% ODE. Gerrout of my face, shameless ill. – #BCEL]
A Dermatologist, Prof. Olayinka Olasode has warned people against skin bleaching, saying a bleached skin was prone to skin cancer, hypertension, diabetics among other diseases. Olasode, who teaches at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, gave the warning in an interview with Newsmen in Ile-Ife on Wednesday.
She said that skin lightening creams used in the bleaching process contained steroid and hydroquinone which had adverse effect on the skin.
Olasode also told Newsmen that those who engaged in bleaching risked their nails turn brown, body odour, profuse sweat, hot feelings and lacking comfort during the dry season. The professor stated that the original skin of every human being was for body protection, adding that such skin would lose its immunity to protect the body once bleached.
“We are naturally protected by the original skin. A bleached skin is prone to cancer and other diseases because the chemical used has removed the immunity from the skin,’’ she explained. She stated that the people needed to be educated on how to take care of their original skin colour from the birth.
“God has a reason for creating us the way it pleases Him. We must cherish our skin, be it black, chocolate, brown or light complexion. “It is lack of contentment and understanding that make our people use various means to change the colour of their skin.
Those involve do so at their detriment.’’ The dermatologist urged people to always use ordinary soap and cream on their skin.

The Sterling Bank at Wharf road in Apapa area of Lagos state was reportedly set ablaze by some tanker drivers after a mobile police officer, according to an eyewitness, shot one of them dead after a misunderstanding.
It was gathered from eyewitness reports that trouble started after a mobile police officer shot dead a truck driver for indiscriminately parking in front of the bank.
Angered by the killing and the bank’s refusal to hand over the policeman to them, the driver’s colleagues moved to set the bank ablaze, destroying properties and other valuables.
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have since restored sanity to the area and released a brief statement via their twitter handle.

Three policemen who were reported to have suffered a suspect to harsh treatment have now received the repercussions of their deeds as they face trials.
The policemen from Bariga Division in Lagos arrested a man suspected to be a thief for having two Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Cards in his possession. As reported the young man was suspected to unfair punishment and even chained to the generator at the station.
Fortunately, a Divisional Police Officer (DPO), who was on a routine inspection at the station, discovered the dehumanising act and ordered the three officers arrested.
The state Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, who frowned at unprofessional conducts by some policemen, assured the public that the directives of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on international best practices for policing, would be respected.
He said:
“In view of the desire by the IGP to sanitize the force, the three policemen involved in the act are being tried and adequate disciplinary actions would be taken against them at the end of the trial. The Policemen had arrested a man for committing an offence along Bariga road. They took him to the station where he was handcuffed to a generator.
“The command frowns at any case of misconduct against any of its men. Policemen are advised to operate within the ambit of their guidelines. Anyone found wanting in the discharge of his duty would be made to face the wrath of the law.
“People who feel their rights have been trampled on should approach the various platforms for compliant and desist from self- help.”
The troops of 3 battalions of the Nigerian army, currently combating the Boko Haram in Maiduguri, Borno State were delighted to see the Nigerian Music legend, 2face Idibia, in their camp on Tuesday.
He was also at the Internally Displaced Persons, IDP’s camp in Ngala/Gamboru in support of the United Nations efforts to rehabilitate internally displaced persons and refugees running from Boko Haram terrorists.
The General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleiman warned Nigerians to against wishing President Muhammadu Buhari dead as no one has the power to kill or make live.
While the Man of God was addressing his church members, he noted that it is irresponsible of any Nigerian to wish the President dead despite his sickness. He however admonished Nigerians to pray for the well-being of the ailing president.
“Only an irresponsible country will be wishing their leader dead.”
“It’s an irresponsible thing for people to be wishing President’s death. Nobody who has a good heart will be wishing a leader dead.
“You don’t wish your leader dead. Nigerians should be careful. Only God has the power of life and death.
“Stop wishing the President dead. If your husband is sick do you wish him death? Do you that man is somebody’s husband? If your father is sick do you wish him death? That man is somebody’s father.
“And you are wishing him dead. I know this thing I’m saying some Christians won’t like it. Stop wishing him dead. Pray for his health. Don’t wish any leader dead.
“Only an irresponsible country will be wishing their leader dead.”, he established.
Suleiman also urged everyone to live in peace instead of allowing crisis to prevail in the various regions of the country.
“If you are a Nigerian, whether you like it or not, this country is your country. Its our country. We are going to pray for Nigeria. Let there be peace in Nigeria from the North to the East, West and South.
“If there is crisis in Nigeria, it will consume all of us. We don’t need crisis, we need peace. We cannot talk of development without peace”, he added.
A Christian father has been accused of murdering his teenage daughter, Henriette Karra, by stabbing her repeatedly in the neck in a row over her Muslim boyfriend.
The 17-year-old girl, was found dead in her family’s home in Ramle, Israel, with several stab wounds to the neck on June 13.
Her 58-year-old father, Sami, uncle and her mother, Aliham, were all arrested for plotting her murder which came after weeks of fighting over her romance.
The teenager was in a relationship with a Muslim man who was in prison. She planned to convert to Islam upon his release.
In the weeks before her death, she fled home in fear of her life after being threatened and beaten by her father, according to The Jeruselum Post.
Henriette sent panicked text messages to friends telling them that her family was going to kill her.
One read:
‘You won’t believe what they did to me… They are sending people to kill me.
‘They are searching for me in every possible place. You don’t understand what fear this is. I don’t believe I have the strength to stand on my feet and run away.’
She went to stay with her boyfriend’s mother but her own family tracked her down and she was forced to return to them.
Police were watching the family and had placed recording devices inside the home.
According to local reports, the girl’s father was previously suspected of drug dealing.
It is not clear if the family was being monitored for those allegations or if the surveillance was ordered as a result of complaints made by Henriette.
On the night before her death, her father was heard telling her mother:
‘Forget about her, let her go to hell.
‘It’s not worth another shekel to even chase after her, she’s garbage. We need to whip her, throw her away like a dog and see how she does She’s already gone, I’m sick of her and you.’
Her mother later told police that her husband believed she had affronted the family’s honor.
The girl’s father denies the killing and is on trial in Israel.
The girl’s death prompted protests in Ramle in Israel where she was killed.
Police in Saudi Arabia have arrested a young woman, reportedly a model called Khulood, who posted video of herself in a mini-skirt and crop-top.
She enraged the country’s religious police after posting the clip on Snapchat of her walking around a historic fort in Ushayqir in the ultra-conservative province of Najd.
Saudi Arabia’s state-run TV reported that police in the capital, Riyadh, arrested the woman for wearing “immodest clothes” and referred her case to the country’s public prosecutor.
The footage sparked a heated debate on social media , with some calling for her arrest and others praising her “bravery”.
In Saudi Arabia women are required to wear loose fitting, full-length robes known as “abayas” in public, as well as a headscarf.
In the video, posted over the weekend, Khulood is seen walking along an empty street in Ushayqir Heritage Village, about 96 miles north of the capital Riyadh.
As a furious debate broke out online, Journalist Khaled Zidan wrote:
“The return of the Haia (religious police) here is a must.”
While writer and philosopher, Wael al-Gassim, said he was “shocked to see those angry, scary tweets.”
He added:
“I thought she had bombed or killed somebody.
“The story turned out to be about her skirt, which they did not like.”
Last weekend, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed announced the intention of the Federal Government to ban Nigerian entertainer from shooting their music video outside Nigeria to facilitate the Nigerian economy.
This has however driven much reactions from Nigerian entertainers across especially towards the Minisiter himself.
Yabaleft garnered five top Nigerian celebrities who have spoken on the trending topic and how resonant their words can grow.
Psquare
Paul and Peter Okoye (Psquare brothers) were the first to react to the ban of Federal Government.
Peter Okoye , in several tweets expressed his disappointment saying:
“Dear FG, for your information, all the shame una dey bring our country na we entertainers dey cover your nash Ndi ala. Sometimes, I am ashamed to be called a Nigerian… Another Nationality loading.”
Paul Okoye also posted this on his Instagram page:
“Our behavior when we hear say FG dey plan stop something….soon dem go tell us how and which style we go dey use de Kpakam our wife dem let me come and be going.”
Shortly after these reactions, the All Progressives Congress, APC, youth renaissance group has called for the arrest of Psqaure over perceived insults on the Federal Government.
Charlie Boy
Charlie Boy also spoke in condemnation for the Minister of Information’s declaration.
In part, he said this:
Fact is, most Nigerians don’t count our ministers’ pronouncements as serious these days. Many see him as a clueless and overly excited Minister who makes a lot of funny declarations without due consultations. You won’t be wrong if you call him irrational, or if you like, a bigmouth; you may also want to consider him a fabulist, or if you are trying to be modest like me, just call him the King of spoofs. Haha…a joke called minister.
Anyway, let’s leave the jokes to LIAR Mohammed and go back to the real issue here.
Shey una know say entertainment in Nigeria was not always this glamorous?
Once upon a time, hardly was any Nigerian song played in our night clubs. Then, Nigerian songs rarely enjoyed quality air play – Some persons laboured to change the status quo.
Once upon a time, Corporate Bodies budgeted fat cheques for foreign artists while they rewarded indigenous artists with popcorn. Foreign artists were treated as demigods while Nigerian entertainers no matter how hardworking, no matter how successful were treated as juveniles. Some people fought to eradicate this kinda disrespect to our celebrities.
I Go Dye
Read what the comedian, I Go Dye also wrote on his Instagram:
“Undoubtedly,entertainment: Music,Comedy,Sport, and Film productions are the highest-ranking human resource export from Nigeria.Government should protect their intellectual property and invest into its capacity building.
I have observed with keen interest the recent reports credited to the honourable minister of information and culture,proposing to ban the production of our indigenous films abroad.instead of such pronouncements,I expect a mutual partnership with government and all stake holders in the entertainments industry.what level of support has government provided to growth of entertainment in terms of protecting their works?p
Piracy is still on the high,most of the actors,actresses and producers do not earn what’s is obtainable in other parts of the world in terms of technical,social support and general contribution to their well being.I recommend that instead of putting laws to check the issue of films produced outside Nigeria.
Government should invest in the sector to develop it,introduce partnership that will bring about government earning funds from the services provided through technical equipment, logistic sites, and establishment of a standard Nollywood village.more so soft loans should be provided to aid film production ,while the ministry of information and culture should engage the film writer and producers to build contents that can significantly profile our image as a country.instead of confrontation,which will not be in the best interest of both the government and the artistes.”
Ruggedman
Veteran singer Ruggedman argued that many artistes take their productions abroad because of the sophistication of the technologies required for such productions, which might not be available locally.
“Amenities we lack are a few of the reasons some entertainers go outside the country to shoot music videos and movies. “Even America where their governments give their citizens amenities they deserve, still shoot movies in other countries,” he said.
Yemi Alade
Yemi Alade, aka “Mama Africa, the HipHop singer expressed worries through her Instagram page, saying that the policy would hinder the growing collaboration between Nigerian singers, their international counterparts, and the global competitiveness of the Nigerian music.
“So will all the money artists have spent shooting videos that are yet to be released be refunded? “You might think that a musical video is just a thing we do!!, It’s a business! You don’t understand!!” “The video directors we use round the world are also Nigerians,” she said.
A 31-year-old man, identified as Idama Endurance, who allegedly abducted a 6 months old baby girl, has been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Task Force during an over-night patrol at No 55, Oshodi Road, Oshodi, Lagos.

The ‘Koko Master’ Crooner said:

“A year ago, I launched a platform to help creative talents find their dreams across Nigeria. The platform was developed by Africans, for Africa, to showcase artists across the world. It is testament to what I always say that, content is the new crude oil.”
According to his management, the deal will enable his planned project to be properly marketed and presented to fans and music enthusiasts in the US, UK and other parts of Europe.

“It’s not enough to just drop an album. We are looking to ensure that it is done right, and that we cover all our bases on this project. An international album has to have a deal of this magnitude for all the numbers to be right,”
