Comedian Bovi replies trolls tagging his daughter ‘rude’ for her reaction in viral video (Watch)

September 5, 2022

Ace comedian, Bovi, has addressed social media trolls tagging his daughter, Elena rude for her reaction in a video he shared online.

In the video the comedian shared on his social media page and elicited a barrage of reactions from social media users, Elena was in the sitting room watching TV while her brother assisted their mother in the kitchen.

Bovi then asked Elena to join her brother in the kitchen, adding that she doesn’t know how to cook.

Elena immediately got up, but informed her father that she was doing what he asked because she didn’t want any drama from him.

“I said Okay, I’m not ready for drama, I’ll go and help… Drama with you when you don’t know how to cook”. She said.

Her response got a lot of social media users talking, with many tagging the little girl as rude.

Well, her dad, Bovi, has now reacted in an Instagram post. According to him, times have changed—he noted that his daughter’s outspokenness was mistaken as being rude by the trolls.

He further stated that they were triggered because they were abused growing up, so they couldn’t relate to his interaction with his daughter.

In his words,

“How times have changed 😀😀😀
UPDATE- I have read all the comments and I’m convinced people see what they want to see. To those who found it lighthearted, you can tell there’s emotional equilibrium in their lives. They could see that speaking freely doesn’t necessarily mean indiscipline. And we were basically on cruise.

As for those who were alarmed, check well, we were raised to think confident use of words amounts to being rude. That’s why in some places, a younger person asking an older person “how are you” or “how nau” is regarded as being rude. Cheer up. You’re triggered because you were abused growing up and you have mistaken being outspoken for being rude. That’s not to say kids can’t be rude. But in this scenario, she wasn’t being rude. Cheer up!”

September 5, 2022

A father has resorted to social media to express his frustration with his 8-year-old daughter asking about her mother, who abandoned her when she was 18 months old.

The single father, identified as @Mthoko90070958, said that the situation is quite challenging for him and that he is unsure of how to handle it because his baby mama doesn’t even consider checking on or visiting her daughter.

According to him, he has resolved not to have anything to do with his child’s mother, but she’s making it difficult for him with her repeated cries to see her mother.

“My baby momma left when our daughter was 18 months old, now she’s 8 years and lately she’s been asking me where her mom was. I really have no idea how to handle this situation coz you can see the lady doesn’t even think of asking or visiting her daughter.

I also told myself that I don’t want anything to do with her, it’s my daughter now that’s making it difficult for me. I think she needs her mom in her life or something”. He wrote on Twitter.

See his post below,

His tweet elicited varying reactions from social media, with many suggesting how he should best handle the situation.

Reacting a Twitter user @RonaldDeBique wrote,

“Yes agreed with you until you said he should look for the mother. He is under no obligation to do so; That woman left them, so she would be the one coming back to ask for their love and forgiveness. Not him and his daughter seeking her out to grant forgiveness!!”

@JohnsonAwalle,

“As harsh as it may sound ,deep down I don’t think she wanted the baby in the first place, what mother just leaves her child and go?!!!I sympathize with u bro may God give u the wisdom and strength to have the right answers for ur daughter and continue doing a great job🙌🏼🙏🏼”.

As long as a police man enters my car and tells me to drive, he is a criminal or a kidnapper – Singer Paul Okoye

By

September 5, 2022

Singer Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy has shared his opinion on Law-enforcement agents who always like to enter the car of someone deemed to have committed an offence.

According to the singer, any policeman that enters his car and tells him to drive, is a criminal or a kidnapper.

He shared this thought on his Instastories on Sunday evening.

In his words –

The only reason a policeman will stop you and enter your car is just because they are looking for an avenue to negotiate for a crime you did not commit.

As long as a police man enters my car and tells me to drive…He’s a kidnapper or a criminal.

Paul Okoye’s post comes following the arrest of Nigerian rapper, Panshak Zamani, otherwise known as Ice Prince for allegedly abducting and assaulting a police officer in Lagos.

The Police had on Friday prosecuted Ice Prince on three counts, which were bordering on assault, obstruction, and abduction of a policeman. All charges to which the rapper had pleaded not guilty.

The Magistrate on the singer’s case, Taiwo Oyaniyi, had also granted him bail in the sum of N500,000, adding that he would reside in Ikoyi prison until his bail conditions were met.

September 5, 2022

The 15th edition of the award show took place at the Cobbs Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, United States, in the early hours of Monday, September 5, and was tagged ‘Join the Movement”.

Several talented artistes were nominated in the Next Rated category – which is considered one of the most competitive category in the award show because of the caliber of artistes fighting to clinch the award and the accompanying car reward.

The nominees in this year’s edition were Mavin Record’s Ayra Starr, Buju, Ruger, Zinoleesky and Lojay.

Well, Buju beat the other artistes to emerge winner of the the Next Rated award. He also went home with the brand new 2022 Bentley Bentayga.

He dedicated the award to his late mother and girlfriend, Peggy.

Watch a video of the moment he received the award below,

Buju’s win has sparked hilarious reactions online as he was recently engaged in an online banter with his co-nominee, Ruger, over who has the biggest hit songs. ICYMI

It all started when Buju, who released his latest studio album titled “Bad Since’ 97” in the early hours of today, took to Twitter to announce that his album is topping the charts.

He posted a screenshot of the chart and wrote, “What if I 🤔 what if I 🤔what if I 🤔COOOKKKK👨🏽‍🍳 #BadSince97”.

Ruger figured out that Buju was throwing a shade at him because the line “What if I, What if I, What if I” is from his recently released single “Girlfriend”, and fired back at him.

The Jonzing star pointed out that Buju doesn’t have a solo hit song as most of his hit songs are features, and fat-shamed him.

“Get a solo hit then talk to me fatty bum bum”, Ruger tweeted.

Responding, Buju fired back at Ruger while still gushing over his Number One spot on the chart.

“Project #1 and I didn’t have to whine my waist 🥰”, he responded.

#BBNaija: “I’m tired, this is not working” – Bella and Sheggz break up (Video)

September 5, 2022

Big Brother Naija season 7 love birds, Bella and Sheggz, have ended their relationship.

The pair called it off on Monday morning during a heated argument, during which Sheggz went on a lengthy rant about how he wants his woman to be and accused Bella of being rude and self-centered.

During the argument, Shegzz noted that he’s tired and since the relationship is not working, they should end it.

A visibly enraged Bella, in response, accused Sheggz of always playing the guilty card and also stated that she’s tired and no longer interested.

Meanwhile, this comes after the pair had an argument after the Saturday night party after Shegzz threatened Bella that he would go back to his ex-girlfriend after the reality show.

Reacting, Bella said she is done with the relationship because every time he threatens to end their relationship, but later apologized for overreacting.

“My mumu don do. You looked me in the eyes and said you are going back to ur ex when you leave here. What’s that? My sense is back. It’s over. Everyday you’ll say you are breaking up with me. What’s that nonsense, am I handicapped? Everyday you’re insulting me. What’s that! Please I am done. What’s that? Today is the height.” She said.

“I took my child to school not mortuary” – Mother of 16-year-old student who committed suicide in dormitory after being accused of stealing pencils speaks

By

September 5, 2022

Magdalene Mueni, the mother of a 16-year-old girl, Francisca Dokee, who committed suicide a few days ago after she was accused of stealing pencils, is seeking justice.

The deceased, a form 3 student of Tala Girls’ High School in Matungulu, Machakos County, killed herself after being accused of stealing a packet of pencils and Sh2,500.

She’s said to have hanged herself in one of the dormitories of the school after the school’s deputy principal allegedly asked her to return items she had been accused of stealing.

Matungulu deputy sub-county police commander Evans Mose, who confirmed the incident said the body was found dangling from rafts of the toilet on Wednesday, August 31, 2022.

Speaking on the incident, that reportedly led to her daughter’s death the bereaved mother said her daughter’s soul was pure and innocent, adding that she was raised with Christian values and had no discipline problems.

However, the school’s administration claimed that the student ‘agreed’ to return the said items. She is then said to have been told to look for the dorm’s prefect who was supposed to provide her with keys to enable her to collect the items.

“The student took too long to come back, thus making the deputy principal suspicious. She proceeded to the dorm in the company of three other students only to find the student’s body,” the police said in a report filed at Tala Police Station.

Police were immediately called to the scene to commence investigations. The student’s body was taken to the Kangundo Hospital Mortuary.

A suicide note was discovered from the student’s items adding more questions about what happened.

In the suicide note addressed to her mother, the student does not mention the Sh2,500 the school’s administration claimed she had been accused of stealing but only talks of pencils and that she was never given a chance to explain herself.

“I told you guys that I am not responsible for the lost pencils but you will still not believe me as you insist I am the one,” the note read in part.

Addressing journalists on Friday, September 2, at Kangundo Level 4 Hospital mortuary in Machakos, Mueni, a widow, demanded to know from the school what made her daughter take her own life.

She accused the school administration of complacency and handling the events that led to her daughter’s death unprofessionally.

“I took my child to school, not to mortuary. I don’t know what my child did. I’m told she committed suicide, but I don’t know. I want to know. That soul is innocent, let it rest in peace. I accept she is gone. As a mother I can say she was a good child. I have never seen her with bad habits,” Mueni said.

September 4, 2022

”Publicity seeking player’- EFCC refutes actress Helen Aduru’s allegationthat its operatives assaulted her

By

September 4, 2022

On Saturday, 3rd September 2022, Nollywood actress, Helen Duru, accused men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of attacking her at her residence in Enugu state.

The thespian, who shared a video of herself covered in blood and with a fractured skull, alleged that the security operatives stormed her apartment at 02:53am on Saturday and broke the door open to gain access to her apartment.

Authorities of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC have however denied claims made by the Actress.

In a statement released, the EFCC described Helen’s claims as “mere publicity- seeking player, with a poorly- scripted claim that has fallen flat in the face of unassailable facts available to the Commission.”

Read the statement below…

”False and Misleading Video in Circulation on EFCC Operations

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to an online video trending on Instagram, from the handle of a certain “@Iamhelenaduru”, a self- styled actress, purporting, quite mischievously, an assault by operatives of the Commission.

Checks by the Commission, however, flagged Helen Aduru, an upcoming actress, as a mere publicity- seeking player, with a poorly- scripted claim that has fallen flat in the face of unassailable facts available to the Commission

In her script, she was quick to include five names of officers she claimed came from the Cybercrime Section of the Enugu Command of the Commission. Characteristically, EFCC’s officers don’t wear name tags nor move around with bulldozer- shaped equipment to pull down security doors.

Aduru claimed, rather strangely, that she was assisted by a little boy, to a Police Station at 3:44 am but met the station shut. It is important to note that Police Stations are not civil service ministries that “close” in the evening. Even more preposterous is the fact that she never went back, at daybreak, to lodge a complaint. More poignantly untenable is the fact that her purported assault of July 21, 2022, which has not been logged nearly two months later at the Police Station is only being brought to public glare on September 2, 2022!! Such a scene could only stand on a typical Nollywood fiction series.

Such claims by Aduru, like all other stranger- than- fiction, click-baiting, sympathy-seeking ploys, do not merit a response but for the need to avoid “silence is acquiescence” stance of mischief makers. Deeper checks on the matter only showed that, certain blackmailers could be bandying some known names in the Enugu Zonal Command to settle some scores.

The Commission, strictly guided by its Standard Operational Procedure, would not succumb to blackmail or any sleight of hand by any character. The poorly- scripted video would be further analysed for more forensic details and possible legal action to dissuade those who seem to be making an industry of falsely accusing and maligning the Commission. Members of the public are enjoined to ignore Aduru’s claims. EFCC’s officers are not assaulters or terrorists.”

Taking to Twitter, @natachyy said the accident occurred when she was in secondary school and she was bedridden for weeks due to the injuries she sustained.

She said one day, she overheard the doctor saying she might never be able to walk again or give birth naturally because of her fractured pelvis.

The young lady said she was shattered inside and wept profusely, and prayed a simple and short prayer to God for healing.

According to her, within minutes, she felt the sudden urge to use the toilet and took the courage to stand up on her feet but fell back on the bed.

She said she then heard the sound of her bones cackling and rearranging themselves before she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she was fine and could walk again.

“I listened too much to outsiders” — Ned Nwoko’s estranged wife, Laila, tenders public apology to him

Laila Charani, the estranged Moroccan wife of billionaire businessman, Ned Nwoko, has tendered a public apology to him on her Instagram page.

Recall that Laila parted ways with the business mogul in November 2021 and went online to announce that their marriage is over.

At the time, the mother of three wrote,

“Hello Guys, I just want to say that no one has the right to talk about my marriage. Please stop talking about people’s lives and I have divorced him already and nothing between me and him. Anybody following me because of him can unfollow please. Thanks. I’ll block any negative comment.”

Few weeks after she announced news of their separation, Ned Nwoko released a statement where he revealed the real reason why their marriage crashed.

The Delta-born politician said Laila allegedly abandoned their kids in the hotel when they were on vacation in London and went clubbing.

He claimed that she got into a fight with a male clubgoer at the club, and the police got involved in the case. He also claimed she contracted the dreaded coronavirus on her frivolous expedition.

Ned also said she underwent a cosmetic procedure in London without his knowledge and approval, and accused her of playing the victim on social media.

Over eight months after their messy separation, Laila who has been on a long social media hiatus and deleted all her posts, has now apologized to him and his family.

She said her actions were not intentional and she allowed herself listen to outsiders a tad bit much.

“This is to my entire Ned Nwoko family. I have realised that I made mistakes that are not intentional. I listened too much to outsiders and I have decided to apologise to my husband and other members of the family. I want peace and progress in the family,” she wrote on Saturday, September 3.

September 3, 2022

It may seem as though Big Brother Naija season 7 housemate, Groovy, has ended his relationship with his love interest, Phyna.

This comes after the pair had their first fight on Friday night over Phyna’s drinking habit.

Groovy had complained to Phyna about her alcohol consumption and advised her to cut back. He added that when intoxicated, she acts out of character and he wouldn’t have a repeat of what happened to his former love interest, Beauty.

Phyna was pissed that Groovy compared her to his former love interest, Beauty, and she didn’t hesitate to air her displeasure.

“If you can’t condole my drinking habit, it’s fine, you can end the relationship.. before you start comparing me to someone that on a normal day you can’t”, She told Groovy

“I apologize for comparing you to Beauty… I don’t expect you to be a violent person like Beauty after taking alcohol, but you are disrespecting the rules and boundaries we set in this relationship. And if you continue doing that, then you will push me away from you. ” Groovy then responded.

Moments later, Groovy was seen moving his things out of Phyna’s bed and asked that they give each other space.

“There is no point in maintaining this relationship if you want to drink. Let’s give ourselves breathing space. There is no need for all this back and forth. ” He said.
