    I’m truly sorry – Abia lawmaker, Ikwechegh apologises for assaulting Bolt driver

    A member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ikwechegh, has apologized publicly for assaulting an e-hailing (Bolt) driver, who went to his house to deliver a package to him.

    Ikwechegh, in a statement, admitted that his behaviour did not meet the standards required of a public official.

    He said “As a public servant, I recognise the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behaviour fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry.”

    Ikwechegh said he regretted the harm and embarrassment his actions had caused Abuwatseya, his constituents, and the public.

    He also confirmed his cooperation with the Nigerian Police, pledging to support their investigation and uphold accountability.

    “I, Honourable Alex Ikwechegh, Member of the House of Representatives, wish to address a deeply disturbing incident that occurred at my residence recently. A video has surfaced showing me engaging in unacceptable behaviour towards an Uber driver who came to deliver a waybill for me. I am deeply sorry for my actions and acknowledge that they were unacceptable and unbecoming of a public official.

    “As a public servant, I recognize the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behaviour fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry. I understand that my actions have caused harm and embarrassment to the driver, my constituents, and the nation at large.”

    Davido buys his cousin, Folasade a $45,000 new Hermes bag (Video)

    Award-winning music star Davido has given his cousin, Folasade Adeleke a new Hermes bag.

    The daughter of Governor Adeleke, via her Instagram story, shared a clip of the luxury bag which is reportedly worth $45,000 (N76,500,000). Fola, who was no doubt delighted over the gift, showed it off to her thousands of fans.

    One Official Mife wrote, “Vanity things

    One Dr Chido Minica wrote, “See why they all love Chioma. Marry better wife e get why

    One Mus_Josey wrote, “She deserves it, this lady loyal to think she worked with Moravey to make that song go viral and always pull up for Davido

    One I_amfifi wrote, “Sending hate from Oshodi under the bridge.”

    Davido gifts Folasade a Hermes bag

    Davido and Folasade Adeleke are quite close as they aren’t only cousins but workmates. In December, Davido rewarded her for her efforts towards him and his brand as he gifted her a Diamond watch worth over N200 million for being his best staff member. Fola, who was taken aback by the sweet gesture, kept gushing over the gift as she appreciated her cousin.

    When Folasade turned a new age in September, Davido took to Instagram to celebrate her birthday with a short but cute note. He described her as a superwoman, super staff, super mom, and super everything. He noted how a lot of people don’t know how amazing and selfless you are, as he expressed love for her.

    Apart from being with Davido on almost every occasion, Folasade Adeleke is also a big supporter of her cousins. One such occasion was during Davido’s custody battle with Sophia Momodu. Folasade Adeleke called Sophia out, accusing her of being unfair towards Davido and then proceeding to shade her while hyping Chioma up.

    Folasade isn’t the only one benefiting from being a relative to Davido. This year, Davido gifted his nephew a new Icebox Rolex watch worth millions to celebrate his graduation. The singer and his wife, Chioma stormed his graduation ceremony and later treated him to a graduation party where Davido surprised him with the luxury watch.

  • “Stop wearing fake shit” – Davido’s elder brother Adewale with a message for the general public

    “Stop wearing fake shit” – Davido’s elder brother Adewale with a message for the general public

    Davido’s elder brother Adewale Adeleke is issuing a stern warning to the general public, with regards to the use of fake designer items.

    In his tweet, Adewale spoke about how it is unwise for people to wear fake designers because they’re easy to spot.

    Adewale Adeleke’s post came without any prior prompting, which has led netizens to wonder who he was throwing shade at, or if it is just a regular PSA.

    Another set of netizens were more concerned with the fact that he was talking down on people who can’t afford original designers, and they dragged him mercilessly.

    abefe wrote, “Bcos ur papa get money weh u fit spend buy original no mean say people weh fit afford fake no get life na! Elenu shopoti”

    larryforeman007 wrote, “Fake brands are brands in their own right. The value of a brand like Dior comes from the attention people give it. When fake brands start receiving the same level of attention, they also become significant-it’s all about perspective. Focusing too much on these things can reveal a lot about a personality. Honestly, if you’ve ever visited “Mandelas Lagos,” you’d be surprised by the quality of the fakes or imitations there, and you might
    even be tempted to buy one. Don’t overthink fashion. Wear what suits you, brings you peace, and fits your budget.”

  • “I have always been known for daring choices with my hair” – Yvonne Jegede reacts to criticisms for going bald for a new movie role

    “I have always been known for daring choices with my hair” – Yvonne Jegede reacts to criticisms for going bald for a new movie role

    Now, taking to her Instagram page, Yvonne shared a 15-year throwback photo of herself with a bald look, as she noted how she has always been known for daring choices with her hair. The movie star made it known that letting go of her hair wasn’t about money, but the movie demanded a transformation and the unmatchable talent of the writer/producer.

    Yvonne stated that she isn’t one for champagne roles that are about looks but is drawn to riskier roles. She disclosed that she was on the phone with her manager, telling him she had to be in the movie because the story captivated her. The single mother of one went on to appreciate the public for their support.

    “Fifteen years ago, I took the bold step of going completely bald. I’ve always been known for daring choices with my hair, and maybe that’s because I’m blessed with great hair. #Aja AjaTheMovie demanded a transformation – not just for the money, but because of @lopeorire (the brilliant Writer/Producer) whose talent is unmatched. I’m not one for “champagne” roles that are all about looks; the riskier, the more I’m drawn in. I was on the phone with @officialsamokatunji1 (my manager) every day, telling him I HAD to be in this film because the story captivated me.

    When this movie drops on streaming platforms, expect to see me front and center! I’m immensely proud of this project – NOTHING like what’s out there. This film will spark debates, and that’s exactly why I poured everything into this role.

    Thank you for all the support, and I know you’re going to love #Aja. This project is my baby – forget that Titi Orire owns it; it’s MINE.

    Yvonne Jegede is every director’s dream and every producer’s delight – no stress on set, and all in for promotion”.

    Yvonne isn’t the only one who has transformed for a movie role. In May, Jide Awobona called out popular film director and screenwriter Abey Jomo over his epic transformation. He revealed that he was placed on a heavy, strict diet for his character and shared a screenshot of the strict rules he was given. Questioning what he had done to him, he lamented over the rules.

    Also, Bukunmi Oluwasina had proven how far she can go in interpreting her movie roles by shaving her hair and going on a diet. According to her, in her ten years of being an actor, this role was the most challenging and breathtaking role she had ever played. However, she was glad she can wear it like a dress.

  • 2024 Ballon d’Or: Man City’s Rodri beats Vinicius, Bellingham to award

    2024 Ballon d’Or: Man City’s Rodri beats Vinicius, Bellingham to award

    Manchester City midfielder, Rodri has been announced as the winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or award.

    Rodri saw off competition from Real Madrid trio of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal to take home the prize.

    The Spanish international becomes the second Premier League Player to win the coveted award in 16 years since Cristiano Ronaldo won it in 2008.

    The 28-year-old who picked up an ACL injury in September against Arsenal, enjoyed the standout season of his career in 2023-24, winning a fourth consecutive Premier League title and lifting the Euro 2024 trophy with Spain.

    He won the Best Player award from the tournament in Germany last summer despite being forced off at half-time in the final against England.

    He was helped on to the stage after arriving on crutches, having been ruled out for the rest of the season.

    Also, he went 74 games – and 475 days – without experiencing defeat for club and country during the past year, with the run coming to an end in the FA Cup final against Manchester United last May.
