Reality star, Ifu Ennada, reacts after woman accused her of dating a married man

Big Brother Naija star and businesswoman, Ifu Ennada, has replied to an Instagram follower who attributed her achievements to dating a married man.

Ifu denied the claim, stating that she works hard to fund her lifestyle.

Her words,

“Pls how do I deal with people like this. See how someone is tying my hardwork to sleeping with imaginary married men. Is it that people truly don’t know or acknowledge how hard I work? Or do I showcase a lifestyle that seems like what I can’t afford?

All my life I’ve had to work for everything I have, no rich parents and even when I date I don’t date for money. If the few men I dated can write publicly about me, they’d tell you that they never paid my Bills because I was always content with my resources and what my resources could do for me. They’d tell you that I’m my own woman.

“Now this g*dforsaken Amarachi has gone as far as wishing me death. WT actually f*ck guys? Most times when I show skin, it is to advertise my brand, if you’ve followed me long enough you’ll know everything I do is strategic. Do I, an adult, not have right over my own body?

“Why can’t people like this unfollow me if they truly hate my content. I swear, I’m sad and angry. If I knew where this b*tch lived, I’d pay her a visit she’d hate but always remember. How can a woman say this to me? Do you guys think that I don’t have feelings?

I have actually been battling with my mental and physical health these past few weeks, my life has been hell..and I have to somehow deal with this. Guys, I’m tired.

@amarachi.chukwuemeka may pain and suffering never depart from your life. May all your hardwork yield nothing and may your recognition be given to someone else.”

“D’banj only engages in legitimate business.” – Maryam Musa releases legal statement on behalf of the singer.

Maryam Musa, the legal counsel of Nigerian Singer, D’banj, has risen to the defence of the superstar, following his reported arrest and detention by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

In a statement on Wednesday, Maryam stated that D’banj and his management do not engage in commercial transactions “unless they are legitimate, properly documented, and obtainable in law.”

According to her, Dbanj wrote letters through his solicitors to the commission informing them of his itinerary in South Africa and promising to see the Commission when he returned, even though he had been formally invited by the ICPC to participate in the inquiry a month earlier.

See the full statement below;

“PUBLIC NOTICE
DBANJ ENCOURAGES ICPC TO DO ITS INVESTIGATION AND CAUTIONS AGAINST MEDIA TRIAL

The media is awash with reports of Oladapo Oyebanjo (Dbanj) in ICPC custody with regards to unestablished allegations of fraud for which it has become crucial to make the following statement for the purpose of clarity and to set public records straight.

1. It is instructive to state foremost that the report concerning the arrest and detention of Mr. Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo is misconceived, malicious and prejudicial to the justice system anywhere in the world and we would advise that the general public be well guided.

2. We acknowledge the fact that the ICPC is currently investigating allegations of diversion of N-POWER funds as already stated by the Commission and we continue to hold the expectation that the Commission will stay the course of professionalism in this matter.

3. For the record, D’banj has no such contractual or incidental relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within or outside government in relation to the disbursement, operations, access or control of the operation of any government fund through an agency or its subsidiaries.

4. Emphatically and as a matter of policy, Dbanj and his management do not engage in business dealings unless they are legitimate, properly documented and obtainable in law.

5. Dbanj was officially invited by the ICPC in respect of the investigation a month ago, however, he sent in letters through his Attorneys to the Commission in respect of his schedule in South Africa and promised to visit the Commission when he returned.

6. On Monday the 5th of December, 2022, D’banj freely and of his law-abiding accord went to the Commission at about 2pm immediately he arrived Abuja. The Officers of the Commission advised that he returned the following day as it was late for any interview on said Monday.

7. D’banj returned to the Commission the following day being Tuesday the 6th of December, 2022 as earlier agreed and voluntarily submitted himself to the Commission to make their inquiry and investigation.

8. D’banj has encouraged the Commission to carry out its investigation thoroughly to ensure that characters attempting to bring him into such ridiculous activities must be brought to book.

9. It is inconceivable that D’banj whose very career is a reference point for hard work, diligence and honesty would lend his reputation built steadfastly over the years to acts of such accusations which he must now stoically suffer through while clearing his name.

10. The general public are advised to resist the urge to buy into media sensationalism which is unsurprising but regardless harmful to the course for the truth which D’banj has willing set himself on by honouring the ICPC’s summons.

“We didn’t arrest D’banj, he honored our invitation” – ICPC releases statement.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC has released a statement explaining, D’banj’s arrest.

The singer was arrested on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, after ICPC operatives moved on him and forced him to surrender at the agency’s headquarters.

The kokomaster is alleged to have fraudulently diverted funds meant to empower youths under the N-Power project into his personal accounts.

As of present, the ICPC has denied reports of the arrest, claiming that the singer “simply honored their invitation.”

The statement read:

“In line with its mandate, the Commission had received numerous petitions on the diversion of N-Power funds running into billions of naira following the approval and release of such funds to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government. Many N-Power beneficiaries had complained over the non-receipt of the monthly funds in spite of payment by the Government.
About 10 persons have been invited by the ICPC over the last few months in connection with the N-Power fraud, and have been granted administrative bail after their detention. Several invitations to Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo, to appear before a team of investigators were ignored and not honoured.
Mr. Oyebanjo turned in himself and was taken into custody at the ICPC Headquarters on Tuesday, 6th December 2022, and is currently assisting the investigators to unravel the circumstances of the fraud allegations by the petitioners.
The investigation will be all-encompassing and also be extended to other collaborators of the fraud and the banks where the beneficiaries’ accounts are domiciled.
The press release becomes necessary to set the record straight in view of the reports awash in the media. The investigation is ongoing and the Commission prefers not to preempt its outcome and also avoid the frenzy of a media trial”.

The actress, who was one of the judges at the cultural pageant, generated a lot of buzz when videos of her twerking furiously in front of the Ooni of Ife at the ceremony went viral online.

The video of the actress, who had previously openly expressed her interest in the Yoruba monarch, elicited a barrage of reactions from Nigerians online, including her ex-lover, Falegan, who threw a jab at her.

Speaking about the reason for the suggestive dance moves, Nkechi explained that she was losing the dance competition to a colleague, so she decided to switch things up.

According to her, her trick worked, and she eventually finished first runner-up and received a cash prize of N250,000 from the king.

Her words,
“About yesterday’s judge’s dance competition as my Oga @fagboyobamidele don Dey win me I say make I improvise but las las I came second and walked away with 250k courtesy the king @ooniadimulaife May You live long sir..God bless you abundantly for putting smiles on d faces of millions”.

Kenyan man reportedly k!lls his wife for returning home late

Kenyan man reportedly kills

A 29-year-old Kenyan woman, identified as Florence Kaari, was allegedly murdered by her husband for returning home late on Sunday night, December 4, 2022.

The woman passed away while receiving medical attention in the hospital after her husband struck her with a blunt weapon on the head in their residence at Githurai 45.

According to Ruth Kaimenyi, who was serving as the family’s housekeeper, the man reportedly got home drunk around 1am and asked for the whereabouts of his wife.

“He came home drunk and asked where his wife was. I told him that she had not arrived, and he told me to get out of the house as he threatened me stating that I was supposed to know,” Ms Kaimenyi told the police.

Kenyan man reportedly kills

The housekeeper said Mrs. Kaari returned back 30 minutes after she was expelled from the home with a friend she could only identify as Ms. Gakii. When Mrs Kaari asked why she was outside, the housekeeper narrated what had happened.

Instead of taking the threats seriously, Mrs. Kaari went to knock on the door. Her husband who was already waiting for her, opened the door and the duo started fighting.

The deceased’s friend, Ms. Gakii, and housekeeper Ms. Kaimenyi, attempted to break up the fight, but the man became aggressive and started abusing them as well.

“Our attempts to stop them were futile. The husband instead started hurling insults at us calling Kaari’s friend a pr0stitute,” the housekeeper further revealed.

Shortly after the ruckus died down, one of the kids who was sleeping inside the house ran outside to meet the two women and told them that his mother had been struck in the head and was bleeding.

Mrs. Kaari was taken to the hospital but sadly, passed away in the early hours of Monday, December 5.

When the husband, who is presently being held by the police, was informed that his wife had died, he called his in-laws to inform them that she had consumed poison.

“I asked him how she had died and he told me that she had taken poison. This is despite the house being filled with blood stains,” Kaari’s father said.

The police boss of Kasarani Police Station, Mr Anthony Mbogo, who confirmed the incident on Tuesday, December 6, said that police officers and detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had already visited the scene and processed it

“They also arrested the suspect who was then taken from Githurai 44 police station and is currently held at Kasarani Police station,” said Mbogo.

“Don’t settle with a woman who doesn’t see you as her lord, master and saviour” – Marriage coach advises men

A Nigerian woman, identified as Jane Chukwu, has advised men not to marry women who don’t see them as “lord, master, and saviour.”

Jane, who describes herself as a “family, parenting, business, and marriage coach,” gave this advice in a post via her Facebook page.

According to her, men shouldn’t settle for any woman who doesn’t see them as a saviour.

She said that everyone defends their Saviour and went on to say that for a marriage to be successful, the woman must respect her husband and regard him as a saviour.

“Dear men once she doesn’t see you as her lord, master and saviour don’t settle with her because everyone protects their saviour,” she wrote on Tuesday December 6.

No one will be in a war and harm their saviour, she will protect and care for her saviour because her live depends on her saviour. Once you see her comment anywhere claiming her husband can never be her master, saviour and Lord, please do your simping self a favour and leave her alone. Allow her search till she finds that saviour”.
