Nigerian comedienne, Princess, has heaped curses on actor, Yomi Fabiyi, Iya Rainbow, and ex-Lagos police boss Hakeem Odumosu after Baba Ijesha was convicted and sentenced for sexually molesting her foster daughter.
The comedienne had, in April 2021, accused Baba Ijesha of assaulting her 14-year-old foster daughter since she was 7. After months of legal wrangling, he was found guilty before an Ikeja special offences court on Thursday, July 14.
The actor was charged with a 6-count charge, which bordered on allegations of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration, and sexual assault by penetration. However, at the judgment on Thursday, the presiding judge found him guilty of counts 2, 3, 4, and 5, while the prosecution could not prove counts one and six, which were sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
Reacting to the judge’s ruling, actor Yomi Fabiyi, who has taken sides with Baba Ijesha since the beginning of the case, stated that Baba Ijesha must be given the privilege to challenge the court ruling in all possible ways.
In an apparent reaction to this, Princess, during an Instagram live session, rained generational curses on Yomi Fabiyi. Princess also cursed Nollywood stars like Iya Rainbow, Yinka Quadri, and Baba Latin over their negligence of unruly acts in the industry.
She also laid curses on the former Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, whom she accused of threatening her and also humiliating her foster daughter.

Popular Nigerian Singer and Father-of-one, Adekunle Gold has opened up on the struggles he had with his health when he was much younger due to him being born with Sickle Cell Anaemia.
In an open letter to his fans, the “orente” crooner revealed that there were days when health crisis came and he wished he died becaue the pain was too much for him to bear.
Read his letter below;
It feels liberating to finally be able to share this part of my life with you, to finally be able to speak my truth. When I talk about how I struggled to get to where I am today, I need you to know that my struggle was real.
I was born with sickle cell disease. It was life and death, it was physical, mental, financial, you name it and I went through it all. It was tough, painful and frustrating. I lived with a sickness no one around me understood, I lived with restrictions all my childhood.
I wasn’t able to join some of the most minor child play and liberating activities like going out in the rain. The times when I insisted and rebelled against my parents orders and went out in the rain, I would end up having a crisis.
The nights were painful and lonely, nights that no one could help me get through. It was just me, God and my mind. The pains and shivers were unbearable.
They always came in the night, when my family had no means to transport me to a hospital. We simply couldn’t afford the constant hospital bills so I had no choice but to endure the pain.
My mum wanted me to be well, she did her best. She took me to all the churches she could find, I’m grateful for her because she saw a future for me.
A future where no illness or sickness could hold me back from my purpose. From the life I was destined to live.
Sickle cell disease took away my freedom, my childhood. I lost friends, a lot of them. Some didn’t understand the restrictions and rules I had to live by, some just didn’t want to deal with my Illness or thought it was a nasty or contagious disease that they could catch. I was a burden for some. Living with sickle cell is far from living a normal life.
One of the most intense crisis I had was at the age of 20, I remember laying in my bed in the middle of the night asking for an end to it all. I begged God to take my life away because I couldn’t understand what I did to deserve the pain my body and mind was under. As usual with sickle crisis after some days, the pain subsided and God asked me; “That end you begged me for, do you still want it?” Of course I said no and that’s when everything changed for me. That’s when I realised that I had been given another opportunity to live my dreams and to show those that mocked me that sickle cell anemia was never going to end me, that it was never going to hold me back from my dreams and aspirations.
My body caves in once in a while, some symptoms come back but what this disease has taught me is resilience. Sickle cell anemia gave me hope, made me tough, gave me the discipline I needed to be who I am today, built my character. I mean I went through a whole 5 weeks of back to back performances and didn’t fall sick. Grace.
My mind and body were challenged and I’m stronger, more determined and ready to take on the world. I’m ready for Adekunle Gold Supremacy, I’m ready to live and enjoy the 5 Star life that I deserve, that my body toiled for.
I’m sharing my testimony with you because I hope that you can find strength in my truth. Some ailments hold us back but I’m thankful this hasn’t. I want to encourage you in whatever it is you’re going through, know that there is hope. You are strong and you must not give up. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Victory lies at the end for you just as it did for me.
If you know anyone going through any struggle, physical, health, mental. Be kind, show compassion. In fact be kind to everyone, you just never know what they’re dealing with privately. Be supportive, be gentle and love endlessly.
If you are a sickler, know that the disease does not define you. Don’t allow it to limit your dreams or cap your potential. Spread your wings and dream big! Hope to see you soaring the big skies.

Following the court judgment that Baba Ijesha, his colleague and staunch, Yomi Fabiyi has issued his stance on the matter.
According to Fabyi, Baba Ijesha must be given the privilege to challenge the court ruling in all possible ways.
Sharing the video, Yomi Fabiyi wrote;
*COURT HAS SPOKEN!!!*
The DEFENDANT(Baba Ijesha) NOT found guilty of The defilement(rape) with CAR KEY as charged(1&6) for lack of evidence, which he still denied ever committing BUT has been found guilty of few other charges bothering on sexual assault(as seen in the video 2,3,4,5). Any indecent act against children is unacceptable and I have never and will never support such. CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE PROTECTED. And I will insist that PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE is equally punishable under section 30(3) Child Rights Act. It is an imprisonment for ten years!
However, if the defendant insists that he is innocent of the other charges. It is within his rights if he chooses to appeal. And if he exhausts all options and the judgement stands, he should serve his term and I hope he will learn his lessons and turn a new leaf.
I am still committed to the frontiers of HUMAN RIGHTS and that all accused are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. I thank the JUDGE for not punishing the defendant before today until verdict is reached.
Grateful to the state/prosecution thus far, for ensuring that the rights of these three major actors in this case were upheld: *The VICTIM, DEFENDANT and The PUBLIC.*

Yusuf Lasun, the governorship candidate of Labour Party in Osun state, has reacted after the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, said his party and other ‘mushroom’ parties will labour till they die.
The former Lagos state governor stated this while campaigning for APC in Osun state on Tuesday, July 12 ahead of the forthcoming governorship election on July 16.
His words,
“I ask you to please do the same thing you did in Ekiti. Come out with your PVCs and vote massively for APC. The voting is now in your hand. Be very vigilant. Be watchful. You will not do it in vain.
Think about your children and vote accordingly so you can see the future. Come out en masse. Don’t mind PDP and other mushroom parties — parties like Labour; they will labour till they die. God will not make you labourers.
You’re next. We will be here till tomorrow. We will come back here for victory dance. Look at the trajectory of our lives. We make promises and fulfil them. We are the ones upholding the party, the Buhari party. Don’t answer the naysayers.”

He said;
“I pity that man. I pity him. When you wish people dead, then same thing will happen to him too. I pity him. He can no longer get hold of his life. How can you come to that space….four years ago you went to the palace of Ata Oja and told the world that you are richer than Osun state and that you are going to give to Osun state a financial engineer. After four years nobody is seeing any financial engineering taking place in Osun.
Today you are here again, you say people will labour till death.
The man is telling people that you do not have to work to be somebody in life.
I pity that man. I am going to face that man. If he has all the power in the world let him do his worse. He is not the only Yoruba man. He can’t cow us. He can’t cow us. If he wants to be President, let him campaign all over Nigeria. Who does he think he is for God sake?”

A family member, Lucky John shared her photo on Facebook moments ago calling for prayers.
“Azurfa needs our prayers, please let’s pray for her safety in the hands of the terrorists. I believe you are safe anywhere you are.” he wrote.

A Russian convict has in a recent interview on Nat Geo TV described the first time he ate human flesh after killing and dismembering a man.
The man whose real name is Vladimir Nikolayevich Nikolayev but dubbed ‘Vladimir the Cannibal’, was convicted of two murders in 1997 and sentenced to death but the ruling was overturned after Russia abolished capital punishment in 1999.
The 63-year-old killer who is currently serving a life sentence at the notorious K-6 Dolphin Prison, spoke with Inside Russia’s Toughest Prisons and recounted how he killed a man and ate his flesh.
‘I was coming home from a party a little drunk. And next to the door of my building another guy, also drunk, asked me for a light,’ Nikolayev said.
‘We started arguing and got into a fight. He hit me, and I hit him, and it turned out he died.’
According to him, he dragged the man to the bathroom, undressed him and stated cutting him apart.
He said he didn’t plan to eat him but decided to give it a try after the thought crossed his mind when he was dismembering the dead man.
‘All of a sudden something struck me and I thought I would try him.’
I cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and boiled it. I tried it, didn’t like it, so I chopped it up and fried it in a frying pan.’
Speaking further, he said he gifted some of the human flesh to a friend who took it home to his wife and kid, assuring him that it was kangaroo meat.
‘He took it home and gave it to his wife. She made dumplings with it, she had some herself and fed some to her children. They didn’t know what it was.’
‘I said it was kangaroo,’ Nikolayev added with a smirk. ‘We don’t have kangaroos around here. They didn’t know what it was.’
