North Koreans have been banned from having piercings and face new restrictions on ‘Western clothing’ including jeans as their dictator leader, Kim Jong-un, has launched a nationwide crackdown on citizens. According to Japan’s Asia Press, the rules have been tightened ahead of the 7th Congress of North Korea’s Workers’ Party.
Ishimaru Jiro, a Japanese journalist working with citizen reporters inside North Korea, wrote: ‘A growing number of North Korean people are infatuated with Western culture. The crackdown will continue until the end of the upcoming gathering (the 7th Congress).’
According to the Daily Telegraph, citizens will be monitored by a growing group of youths loyal to Kim Jong-un.
Rimjin-gang, a North Korean news website supported by AsiaPress, said the ‘inspection’ units ‘target supposed capitalist tendencies such as length of skirts, the shape of shoes, T-shirts, hairstyles, and clothes.
It comes just months after it was reported that Kim Jong-un was ordering men to copy his ‘ambitious’ hair style limiting growth to a maximum length of 2cm.
Anyone breaching the restrictive guidelines faced having their hair shorn by authorities, especially in universities, who have been warned to watch out for any capitalist styles.
Women were advised to copy his wife, Ri Sol-ju’s bob.
Ali Baba posted a screenshot of chat messages from a friend who’s presently in a dilemma with his girlfriend who accused him of impregnating another woman.
Continue..
What really happened: The Girlfriend Insulted the Generation of her boyfriend, smashed his car, and did some really bad things to him after she was misled by her friends into thinking her boyfriend impregnated someone else..
….Then as nature will have it, it was revealed and made cleared to her that it was all a misunderstanding as “Her Boyfriend” wasn’t the guy who impregnated whoever is pregnant.
(See Screenshots below)
According to the comedian:
“I don’t know how to advise my guy… He says I should help him ask without adding any names. “What if she reads the postings online? I asked him. “Then she will know if I am right or wrong to have packed her out of my flat and ended the relationship”. Please note, if you have no advice to give don’t comment. Insults will be deleted. Please read the chats before commenting. Don’t be asking me what the guy did. She said it all there. To make this clearer, her friends told her that her Bobo was responsible for impregnating a lady. So she went gaga. Then found out it was not her Bobo. At which time, she had been thrown out and she then realized that the girls who claimed to be protecting her from getting hurt (which may be true) did not investigate properly. So things became bad. And got worse when she broke the driver side glass of his Gwagon with a flower pot. Now it had become clear he wasn’t the person responsible. Those friends have apologized that they “thought he was the one”… That is the root of all this apology. My Guy’s argument is if she had a gun and shot him that night, what will these apologies be for????”
The lady’s message to the guy after he was misled into thinking her boyfriend impregnated someone else…Below:
Her series of messages to him after she found out her boyfriend was innocent…LOL, she sent a message in the morning, afternoon and night!
First of all, Aunty Linda Ikeji- I’d like to state that I am a fan of yours. I am also an unrepentant LIBer, and I think you are the biggest inspiration for many of us who recently ventured into blogging.
You are a role model to me (not because I like all your viral gossip stories, but the way in which you have created a brand with huge followers, worth millions of naira).
So if you ever get to read this, do not take it as hating, rather see it as another up and coming blogger blogging on your blog issues *laughs*.
MATURITY
Aunty Linda, I fully support you on reporting the “Wizkid’s 16years old cousin beating” threats to the Police. We should never condone violence.
Reporting threats (incitements) like this is vital to your safety because it is coming from a celebrity who has lot of fans which could lead to something awful just like you said. But Aunty, in your first epistle debunking the Wizkid’s claim (you called it 1000% lies but then more than 80% of your gossip posts are 1,000,000% lies) that you slept with his director (not my business though because I don’t care who you sleep with, some are saying it’s Sesan shaa *winks*), you mentioned that Wizkid’s PR team approached you but you rebuffed them blah blah… why didn’t you reach them (Wizkid or his PR team) after you felt he threatened you before going to the Police? You’re Linda Ikeji Aunty, I am pretty sure if you’d reached him, you could’ve thrashed this alleged beef and made him release a public apology to you over the threats.
That would have been a more mature approach! Show some maturity Aunty. In a sane clime, I am sure the Police would’ve told you to cool off after making the report, but because you are Linda, you’d to write another epistle to explain why you did it.
Why did you make the report if you won’t let the Police do their job first? Why didn’t you address the threat in your first epistle?
GENDER CARD
Aunty Linda, why do you have to play the gender card? Wizkid did not attack you because you are a woman, he did so because your platform was damaging his image which is not good for his show and ambassadorial business.
Have you forgotten how we supported you when that Yellow Pawpaw had your blog suspended then? Because we couldn’t afford to lose a brand like you even though the plagiarism claims wasn’t false. Can you reflect on that time you had to fight on your Instagram page over your ‘fake’ Hermes bags? Why did you do it? Because you couldn’t stand the claims that your supposed million naira bags were fake and it could dent your image.
You should know that same feeling you had was what Wizkid felt and had to react in ways he saw it fit to react.
Drop this feminism/woman empowerment thing because that is not why this has happened. The same time you posted your “facts” that Wizkid was evicted from his Lekki house (not like he told you he owned it when he moved into the house), was also when he was showcasing the new house in USA on Instagram, but did you post that? Did you post that he was on Drake’s new song? No, because you love the negative stories more. Anyways Lindodo, I am a young man and you did not pass any tangible message to me in Wizkid’s case!
DEFAMATION AND SLANDER
Aunty, there are numerous records of when you have slandered many celebs. Femi Kuti’s post is making rounds in your trend on Twitter right now.
How many times have you apologized for defaming people on your blog? In your multimillion banana island home, how many times have you paused to think of those who have gone traumatic after their stories (truth/false) ended on your blog? You mentioned that you can take insults on your parents but not threats! Wow as a kid then, the biggest cause of fights on street was insulting one’s parents.
So you take insults lightly mainly because you post bullshit about others on your blog as well too ba? If so, why are you worried over slut-shaming? If insults don’t get to you, then tagging you a hoe or smelly p***y shouldn’t have made it into your epistle. Now that you have called in the authorities, are you prepared for countless libel and defamation court cases that could follow? Are you willing to sell your Banana Island house to start paying damages to victims of defamation from your blog?
HATE OR NOT?
Aunty Linda, I know that you don’t really hate Wizkid, but do you have to tell us how you liked only Fuse’s Antennae and Kiss Daniel’s Raba than Wiz’s Dance for me? *laughs*.
Aunty you can stop listening to all of his songs altogether, but there is no denying it that mentions of Wizkid in your posts drives in traffic, so much you have to announce your Vlog series at the end of this latest epistle.
I know you do this for views but why don’t you apply little ethics? Why do you think Wizkid would not support other Music stars who don’t like you too? Why did you claim that you don’t like to go to places where celebrities are gathered?
You wrote that “And to Wizkid fans, please be rest assured that I wish him all the best in life. He will continue to grow from strength to strength (as long as he doesn’t endorse violence against women) and his light will never diminish. God brought him to this level and will continue to keep him. I have nothing but love for his craft and hope that one day, we will put this behind us.” Aunty Linda, you can put this behind you right now if only you would swallow your pride.
Wizkid has never endorsed violence against women, in fact you and I know that many of Wizkid’s songs was about women and with two babymama’s, Wiz can’t do no wrong and would never attack you directly or through his cousins.
CIVILIZED COUNTRIES
It is funny how your blog (APC/PDP/Brands pays you for banners and their affiliate programs) sells in our country, then you turn back and refer to it indirectly as uncivilized.
But since you have mentioned Tupac knowing which women to refer to as bitches, how ambassadorial contracts would have been striped of stars blah blah…and how Chris Brown is still struggling to get a foothold again- I would like to point out to you that Kanye West recently referred to as Taylor Swift as a bitch in his song ‘famous’, but I didn’t see Adidas pulling out of Yeezy’s shoe designs.
You also bragged about giving N500,000 to someone you barely even know her name. My dear aunty, Mark Zuckerberg donated $40million to charity last year but can’t remember when he reminded us he did so. Some Pastors and Christians are housing IDPs in some parts of Nigeria but we don’t even hear about it, because it doesn’t even feature on your blog.
You want to talk about 500k as a leverage for you not to be bashed by an aggrieved Music star? Well I want to ask, would you have felt any better if Wizkid ambassadorial contracts have been cancelled over your issues with him? How would you have felt if plagiarism that you are openly guilty of has ended your blogging career abruptly? Those who live in a glass house don’t throw stones, remember Aunty.
LINDA IKEJI, WE WANT PEACE
Aunty, do you remember why and how Don Jazzy and Olamide’s ish was settled? Both parties benefited from that famed settlement. Don Jazzy could have been nonchalant about the issue and allowed it to foster (him being Don Jazzy with a legendary status already), but he swallowed his pride, settled with the young man and we all felt happy.
Settle with Wiz, Aunty! I am sure Wizzy has connect in Lagos state government whom have connect with the Police. You all, including Nation Human Rights Commission and other NGOs could sit and settle this matter. This could lead to a bigger campaign to show more awareness on violence. Imagine you two in an advert condemning domestic violence. Many of us would like to see that. Aunty Linda Ikeji, we want peace!!!
Stumbled Upon a Video via instablog9ja of Two Kids kissing thoroughly like lovers. The blog reported that the kids were “making out” during a church service..
But with the looks of thing, the background looks like a school.
NB: This is just to sentisitize parents about the need to be more vigilant. From all indications, they’ve been doing this for long. WE WILL BE DELETING THE VIDEO SHORTLY.
Nollywood actor Nonso Diobi was involved in a car crash yesterday in Lagos, and the actor announced moments ago that he suffered a fracture in his leg.
“[I] had an accident yesterday evening, my leg all plastered up,” he wrote, and then made a cryptic rant about ‘true friends’ and how one goes through certain experiences before they can find them.
Diobi also made a call for help, asking fans to come to his aide, pleading for them to help him in healing faster.
See the photo:
But the actor has since deleted the post not long after he put it up and drew massive reactions from fans who showed concern.
Singer J.Martins, gave his fans one extra reason to be thankful for the little things they have that others don’t. Below is the poignant words he shared on social media.
Thank God for the life that you have & remember success is all around you if you choose to succeed, look at this man with one leg yet he won’t stop working even under the rain but you have all the members of your body complete so why won’t you succeed. Happy New week May God Almighty Bless the works of our hands Amen.
Some 25 Nigerians have returned their WAEC results which they say they passed because they cheated.
The Sun confirms that the citizens are ‘born again’ Christians who sat for the examination at school or private centres, and that the results were ‘acquired through fraudulent means’. And so, to obey the doctrine of restitution, they decided to return the results.
The breakdown of the year of examination revealed that the examinations include both those taken during the May/June and the November/December timetable. One of the candidates’ result dates back to 1980.
This is not the first time candidates would be returning their results. In 2014, 15 Christians did same, confirming that they committed fraud.
And how are Nigerians reacting to this story? Here’s what many think:
According to Twitter user Kazeem Popoola who shared this photo – the unnamed man was nabbed selling kerosene mixed with palm oil as fuel on Sunday in a neighbourhood in Lagos.
Here’s a Leak Music reportedly off Davido’s Sophomore Album…This one is titled “Chillin” Featuring Runtown and Akon.
You all know that ever since Davido’s Sony Deal, he has had to go and re-work on the entire album to satisfy the international audience and definitely some old songs were reviewed and this song “Chillin” still made the cut.
– A critic of T.B Joshua in diaspora has called on him to focus on the Boko Haram sect instead of predicting crisis in other countries.
General Overseer of the Church of Rabbi is urging Nigerian prophet, TB Joshua to stop the activities of Islamist group, Boko Haram in Nigeria if he wants his prophecies to be taken seriously.
Prophet Kwabena Tawiah said he is baffled at how the supposed prophet did nothing and now the Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated and carried out several bombings in Nigeria.
In his view, TB Joshua who is the head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) should concentrate on driving away Boko Haram from Nigeria and “leave Ghana alone”.
Prophet Kwabena Tawiah’s comment is in reaction to TB Joshua’s prophecy of an eminent attack on Ghana and Nigeria.
Last Sunday, the renowned prophet asked his congregation to pray against the attack which could happen either on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
The Nigerian Prophet was emphatic in prophesying that, “I see Thursday, Friday. Pray for these two nations – Nigeria and Ghana – over gathering in any way; over an attack. I am seeing the attack and that will be in a foreign way. The attack will come not in a local way. So please open your lips and pray for these two nations for protection.”
But his prophecy has been met with a lot of criticisms with many religious bodies including the Christian Council calling on security agencies to ignore it since Ghana cannot run on “the back of prophecies.”
In support, the outspoken Kwabena Tawiah stressed that the prophecy must be treated with the contempt it deserves.
Describing TB Joshua’s prophecy as unnecessary, the Church of Rabbi leader said assuming without admitting that the prophecy is true, God would have revealed it to a Ghanaian prophet and not a foreigner.
“What is TB Joshua saying; he should leave Ghana alone and concentrate on Boko Haram in Nigeria” he fumed.
Rather, Kwabena Tawiah called on TB Joshua to support President Buhari with his prophecies to help arrest the Boko Haram insurgents terrorizing citizens in Nigeria.
Such a sad day for the family of a Nigerian lawyer who suddenly died just a few days to her wedding.
Late Barrister Akpwene Emakpo
Life is really mysterious! A Nigerian lawyer has tragically lost her life just few days to her wedding.
Late Barrister Akpowene Emakpo, from Rivers State, was set to have a traditional wedding on Saturday, April 9, 2016, and her white wedding last Saturday, April 16, 2016.
She had shared her wedding card invite on Facebook before the tragic death
After announcing her engagement to Elvis Etta Enagu on March 11, 2016 and shared her wedding invitation on her Facebook page on March 29, she tragically died few days to the wedding after a brief illness.
A Muslim woman who had converted to Christianity for love, has has a most cruel form of punishment handed to her for the act by Muslim fanatics.
The woman, identified simply as Marwa was brutally murdered by her own people.
According to Eshhad, an online platform that collates alleged religious persecution and sectarian attacks in Egypt, Marwa fell in love with a Coptic Christian man after being divorced by her Muslim husband. She converted to Christianity, married her Christian love and they went on to live in a distant village in Tamia.
In 3 years, she had a boy and a girl. When she was however 2-months pregnant, Marwa was killed by her uncle and cousins when she made a short visit back to Alexandria.
Eshhad reports that the couple decided to visit their old church back in Alexandria and while they were there, Marwa’s daughter from the first husband saw her. The unnamed daughter was said to have been very angry seeing her mother without the usual Hijab and other things which signify a true Muslima. The girl went ahead to inform her mother’s uncle and brother and they decide to ‘cease’ Marwa.
According to their tradition, to cease means to kidnap the convert and take him/her to a family home where they are expected to denounce their Christian faith.
This did not end there as the Muslim community decided to fight the people of Tamia for ‘harboring a fugitive and converting Marwa from Islam to Christianity’. Marwa’s Muslim family were also said to have ordered all Christians living in Tamia to evacuate the village in 10days.
Eshhad reports that the uncle then forced Marwa’s youngest sister to “kill her to ‘punish’ her for her conversion [to Christianity].”
Al-Masry Al-Youm, however, reports that it was the uncle that killed Marwa.
Following the murder, Marwa’s father went to the police to inform them of the murder. However, the uncle is reportedly on the run.

Seriously popular popstar, Rihanna’s former aide has blasted Jay Z’s streaming network Tidal saying: “It’s an embarrassment.”
Record producer Jonathan Hay, who worked with RiRi in 2005, says that Rihanna was “upset” when her latest album Anti sold just 460 copies in the first week after it was given away for free by Tidal.
Jonathan, 42, explains:
“Tidal is lame. It’s embarrassing for Jay Z. And now to see Kanye West do the Tidal album and his record doesn’t chart, and then Rihanna’s first week, it was a disaster.For Jay Z to make his artists do this is so bad because this is affecting their legacy.It’s really crazy and I know for a fact Rihanna is upset about the Tidal thing and you can see it when you go to her Twitter.
He continued:
“She is a Tidal owner, but on her Twitter to pick up her album, she uses a Google plus app not Tidal. That’s her shooting back because Jay Z is just making a mistake. “The rollout was sloppy, the rollout was bad, to go on Tidal exclusively and eliminate Spotify and Apple is absolutely mad.
“Thirty years from now, people will just see her first week was a flop. Kanye has now been called a flop. And it’s all because of this Tidal s***.”
In 2005, Jonathan helped publicize Rihanna’s debut album Pon de Replay and spread the false rumour that she was dating Jay Z when he was with Beyonce.
Jonathan adds:
“Just imagine if Adele came out with a Tidal exclusive, it would be weird, it just needs to go away because Jay Z is affecting his artists’ brands. I fear Rihanna is losing and she is going to start going down.”
If not for the wealth of experience of Police Inspector, Christian Onawona, attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command, six innocent people including two children, would have been shot and mistook as robbers by operatives at Ogudu Ori-Oke, Ogudu, Lagos.
A woman, Lauretta Ehon, suddenly ran to inform RRS operatives patrolling the axis at about 17:30 hrs over the weekend, that some armed robbers just snatched her Toyota Camry car 2012.
Immediately, the police officer followed her to give the supposed fleeing robbers a chase.
On the trail of the robbers, there was a hectic traffic but in order to catch up with the thieves, the officer alighted from his official vehicle and mounted a motor bike to chase the acclaimed reported robbers.
However, the occupants of the car, which was being chased never had an inkling that they were on the verge of being mistook for robbery and that the police was trailing them.
In order to prevent the robbers from taking the vehicle with registration number, EP 932 KRD away, the officer shot into air. Upon hearing the gunshot fired by the officer, the driver of the vehicle applied the brake instantly.
Then, the police officer cautiously approached the supposedly stolen vehicle only to discover that the occupants were three female, one male and two children. At this point, the police officer got to know that the complainant raised a false alarm.
The occupants of the vehicle were, Sekinat Sanni, Wasiu Balogun, Bisola Balogun and Rukayat Joseph. The little children were, Sameer Balogun and Motunrayo Joseph of one and two year old respectively, all family going on social outing.
The story later turned out to be faraway from the truth.
What really transpired between the woman that raised false alarm and the owner of the 2012 Camry car was a mere business transaction which occurred about six years ago.
The husband to the woman who raised the false alarm and the owner of the car transacted a business which had to do with clearing of a Tokunbo car from oversea.
Unfortunately, the vehicle went into demurrage after the client (Mr Ehon) paid the clearing agent, (Mr Balogun). And between the duo, they have settled the matter amicably for both of them worked in the same company in Apapa.
But to his paranoid wife, she had promised that she will collect the money from the clearing agent whenever she
sets eyes on him.
On the day of incident, the woman saw him and started threatening to snuff life out of him. But unknowingly to the woman, the man was not inside the car when she raised the false alarm but his family members were the occupants of the car.
In her reaction, one of the lucky occupants of the car, Bisola Balogun, who was visibly elated said that she was full of praises to the officer who pursued them for not have misused his firearm.
“In fact, I am still at shock. If it were to be another police officer, it is possible that he might shoot our car and anything could have happened. We thank God and appreciate the officer for applying uncommon wisdom in handling the matter”, she added.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Dolapo Badmos, the police officer showed experience and bravery in handling the issue, if not for him, the entire event could have turned against the police.
The woman has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, for prosecution.
A teenage girl is recovering after she was grabbed and bitten by a tiger for 40 minutes when she reportedly banged on the big cat’s cage.
Elizaveta Kutkina was trapped by the predator through the bars of its cage at the zoo in the Russian city of Barnaul, the Siberian Times reports..
The screaming 13-year-old was grabbed by her coat by the Siberian tiger, as he pulled her closer and then began to maul her legs.
But zookeepers claimed the teenager and a friend, in an act of “childish stupidity“, had incited the tiger by going too close and banging on its enclosure
He is a grown animal, nine years old,” added director Sergey Pisarev.Obviously, the animal showed aggression because he’s a predator.”Of course, he grabbed her. The ambulance was called.” “All possible safety regulations were breached. It was a human factor, childish stupidity,”
The schoolgirl was saved because the tiger could not bite or claw her properly though the bars.
But she was held for 40 minutes unable to escape despite frantic attempts by half a dozen bystanders in Lesnaya Skazkapark zoo in the Siberian city.
Eyewitness Anastasia Ptichkina said two girls had banged on the tiger’s cage after the zoo had closed.
“One of them turned out to be supper for the big cat,” she said.
“Luckily there were six or seven people in the park.The tiger gnawed through the screaming girl’s leg muscles,All were shocked and tried to save the girl, but the tiger only became more angry and it gnawed her leg more aggressively.It was impossible to watch how it gnarled and licked her leg.Police and doctors also could hardly do anything. Thanks to the guys who managed to distract the animal. They even bought a piece of meat in the shop.
Zoo officials said the tiger would not be shot despite the attack on the girl.

President Robert Mugabe is now a proud granddaddy at the age of 92 after his daughter, Bona, gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday, April 16, in Dubai, The Zimbabwe Standard reports.
A conflicting report by Zimbabwe Independent says she gave birth in Singapore.
Last week, Mugabe was quoted in the state-run media as saying Bona was heavily pregnant and his wife Grace had traveled to be with their daughter.
According to local media, the good news was disclosed by Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare minister, Prisca Mufumira at a Zanu PF Makonde inter-district meeting yesterday.
Bona was spotted heavily pregnant in a pink maternity dress in January when she appeared at State House where Mugabe was launching a book containing a collection of speeches by Tanzania’s founding president Julius Nyerere.
Bona is married to Simba Chikore, a pilot, in a lavish wedding which took place on March 1 2014. Their traditional marriage took place in Zvimba – Mugabe’s rural home about 96km north west of the capital in August 2013.
Though she started acting since 1998, runs a spa on Allen Avenue, owns a film production outfit, manages a non-profit organisation called Pinkies, nothing compares to the new luxurious lifestyle that Iyabo Ojo currently lives.
Sources close to her have told Kemi Ashefon of http://kemiashefonlovehaven.blogspot.com.ng that there is a new man who provides for all of her needs.
Iyabo with son, Festus
He is said to be rich, influential, and a former serving Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who later became an Ambassador to a neighbouring African country.
He is said to spoil her silly! Her teenage son, Festus Ojo, currently schools in the United States of America, and lives like a prince. The Senator-former Minister-lover of his mum is bankrolling this.
Not only that, Iyabo goes on vacation abroad at will (she is currently in Florida). She flaunts all her travelogue pictures on social media for fans to admire. The icing on her cake is the relocation from her Ikeja residence to the highbrow area of Magodo GRA, Lagos.
Though her ‘catch’ was said to have dated a popular Yoruba actress sometimes back and spoilt that one too with gifts, Iyabo is his new love and he stops at nothing to make her happy.
Smart gal. Sources said Iyabo Ojo has dumped all ‘irrelevant’ ‘unprofitable’ and non-juicy men in her life for this gracefully ageing Senator, who is an astute politician in the south west.
Why wouldn’t she anyway? All that she needs, the man is providing. Little wonder, in one of her posts on Instagram an hour ago, she condemned haters. “ave got no space in my heart for hate, its love all d way,love makes me glow n am glowing all d way!” (sic)
Actress, Stella Damasus took to instagram to celebrate one of her pretty daughters as she turned 16 yesterday.
The proud mum shared the above photo and captioned it:
“I am so proud of my daughter @izzybelleimages who does not only handle lyrics and camera in church but does the #graphics too. I thank God everyday because not every 16 year old girl living in America will dedicate her time and service to God and the church. I bless God that regardless of what people have said God has helped me raise the most amazing kids ever. #church#freechapel #service #dedication#calling #purpose #proudmommy#gooddaughter #media #america.
Isabella’s stepdad, Daniel Ademinokan also had this to say:
I’m blessed and truly blessed to her in my life. One of the smartest and most creative humans I have ever come across in my life! Singer, photographer, painter, music producer and such a fun person!! did I forget to mention that she is a self taught guitarist? Gosh! How could I miss that as she’s my ‘occasional’ rehearsal partner. Hehehe!!!
Tonto Dikeh-Churchill has shared a new cute selfie of herself with no ounce of makeup on. She also revealed her son turned 2 months today. She captioned it: “Yayyyy MY BABY’S 2months today•••”
Recall the actress shared pictures with her Mother-in-law and aunt-in-law a few weeks ago.
Tonto obviously has a sound relationship with her in-laws, as she earlier shared a photo of herself, pictured with her mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, looking loved up.

My issue with Wizkid…why I took the case to the police – Culled From Her Blog..
Read Below:
I’m sure many of you have read that the police is now involved in my issue with Wizkid. Yes, I reported his public threat to me two Sundays ago to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and I want to explain why I did it! Please pay attention and keep an open mind.
I’ve read a lot online from people saying I don’t like Wizkid. Even Wizkid himself thinks I don’t like him. Why he or anyone would think so is puzzling to me to be honest. Apart from his achievements after he started insulting me online a few weeks ago…everything else, every success Wizkid has recorded in the last 3/4 years is on LIB. All the awards, all the record breaking feats, his sold out concerts, his foreign magazine features, and collaborations, everything that has built him up to the young man he is today is on LIB. Please verify! Search my blog. Please continue…
I was a huge Wizkid fan. The only song I danced harder to than his ‘Dance For Me’ track was Fuse ODG’s ‘Antenna and Kiss Daniel & DJ Shabzy’s Raba. So, no, I had no dislike for Wizkid. But about a year ago, I noticed his indirect snide remarks at me…and when some other music star beefed with me, Wizkid showed his support and made disrespectful comments. That was when I noticed he had issues with me… but that didn’t stop me from writing about him and celebrating him.
Now to the issue at hand. When I reported that he was served quit notice at his Lekki home, I stated fact and I didn’t write it out of malice. It’s not everyday you get exclusive stories…and I’m sure any other blogger who got the story first would also have published it. So, there was no beef, I was just doing my job. A day or so after I wrote this story, Wizkid went on my instagram page to call me names and lied that I slept with some director of his…which I have said before is 1000% lies! But the insult and lies is not why the police is now involved.
Here’s the thing; You can insult me, insult my family, call me any names you like, even lie that I slept with your forefathers…but don’t threaten me. If you threaten me, I will act!
I read people online saying that I reported to the police because I am scared of Wizkid. No, my darlings, I am not afraid of Wizkid. Though I do not take his threats lightly. I went to the authorities for two reasons…and please young boys of our generation, pay attention to what I am about to write below.
You see, violence against women and threat of violence against women is not okay. Threatening harm to someone in a public space is a criminal act in every country of the world, including Nigeria. I bet some of you didn’t know that, yeah? You can not publicly threaten someone with harm. You will only get away with it if your victim doesn’t report to the authorities. If they do, you will have a case with the police and I promise you, the police take these things seriously.
I reported this case to the authorities because I want our young men to know this is not okay. You should not raise your hands on a woman. You shouldn’t even threaten to raise your hands on a woman. Wizkid wrote that he would send his 16 year old cousin to beat the poo out of me. Letting Wizkid get away with it is basically telling our young men that this is okay…and it’s not!
After Wizkid made the threat to me, I saw a lot of teen boys hailing and applauding him. To them, this was okay. If their idol can threaten a woman with harm, and use derogatory words, they also can do it…and that’s how the circle of abuse of women continues. Women being called ‘smelly Kitty-Cat’ trended online for a day or two! Little boys were happy to use the words. Sad!
It is appalling to me that anyone, especially women, would cheer Wizkid on. When he wrote RIP Linda, I saw a few young girls write same, laughing. This is not a laughing matter. It doesn’t matter whether you like me or not! This is not about Linda Ikeji. This is about abuse of women which has eaten deep into our society, so deep that it has now been accepted as normal. Men do it all the time and get away with it. So many women are battered by their husbands and they refuse to speak up because of the stigma. They refuse to seek help because they are afraid of what people will say. I am sorry, I am not one of those women. I refuse to be victimized. And as long as I have my voice and my platform, I will speak up.
We women have to come together to lend a strong voice to the plight of women in our continent. When we see a woman being physically and mentally abused, let’s act. Let’s speak up. Let’s not laugh and say she deserves it. If we continue to keep quiet, the circle of abuse will continue. And one day, You, yes You, will find yourself in the receiving end of a thundering slap, followed by heavy blows. If not you, then maybe your daughter? Let’s condemn violence and threat of violence against women! This is not acceptable!
Young men like Wizkid, a father of two young boys himself, should never advocate violence against women. One day, he will have a daughter, how would he feel if another male threatens to put hands on her or even calls her a hoe?
I can’t count how many times Wizkid called me a hoe in his rant against me. That’s what boys do. When they get into a fight with a woman, they try to slut-shame her. Smelly Kitty-Cat, hoe, ashawo etc. You call a woman, who gave another young woman, whose real name she doesn’t even know N500,000 just because she said she would rather work by carrying cement than prostitute herself, that’s the person you call a hoe? When your mind is so warped you can’t differentiate between a woman and a hoe, then this is what happens. Except you drive to Sanusi Fanfuwa at 2am to pick up a prostitute, who proudly describes herself as one, then you shouldn’t call any woman a hoe.
Even Tupac who was a well known thug could differentiate between the types of women he dealt with. When asked in an interview why he called women bitches, he said people shouldn’t confuse things, that he wouldn’t address a mother or a sister the way he would address a Dam, that the bitches were the ones he dealt with in the clubs who behaved like one. He reiterated that he respected women!
In more civilized countries, Wizkid would have lost his endorsements and spent the next year or so apologizing and being in the fore-front of promoting anti-violence crusades against women. It took Chris Brown years to get back on his feet after his assault on a woman. Up till today, he doesn’t have any major endorsements and some countries still deny him entrance into their country i.e Australia for something he did 7 years ago. Yes, violence against women is serious!
And there’s the case of incitement. When you have power and influence, you have to be careful what you say in public. Because you have such power, something you say can influence your followers. A fan can commit acts that even you may not support or might not even condone. But because it came out of your mouth, they think you mean it. So it is irresponsible to say things that might be inciteful. In Law, you can be held responsible when people act based on what you said in public. Tupac was charged to court and indicted after some thugs killed a police officer. The thugs went to court and mentioned that their idol encouraged violence against LA police officers in a song where he said ‘Drop a cop’. So, we folks with some measure of influence should be more careful with our utterances. People are watching and listening!
The second reason I filed a police report is to encourage other women in similar situations to do same. My dear ladies, if a man threatens to puts hands on you, and you feel the threat is real, report to the authorities. Don’t wait until he does it. What if you don’t survive it? If he’s picked up and may be charged to court (yes, you can be charged to court for making threats…it’s a misdemeanor with a prison sentence), then he will think twice before making threats against you in the future or any other woman for that matter.
I went as far as I did for me and for other women. This is to pass a strong message to our young men that these kinds of behaviour towards women will not be tolerated. Should not be tolerated. If you assault or even threaten to assault a woman, the law will come after you if she chooses not to be silent. Women, don’t be silent. Let’s break the circle. For your sake, for my sake, for the sake of our daughters, grand daughters, great grand daughters and all other women that will follow them.
And that’s really all I have to say in the matter. Thank you guys for reading
And to Wizkid fans, please be rest assured that I wish him all the best in life. He will continue to grow from strength to strength (as long as he doesn’t endorse violence against women) and his light will never diminish. God brought him to this level and will continue to keep him. I have nothing but love for his craft and hope that one day, we will put this behind us.
God bless him, me, you and everyone else in the world
Cheers.
