Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue

The lawyer to Mrs esther Nnamdi-Ogbue has circulated a press statement refuting claims of ongoing speculations that she owns the huge sum of money uncovered by the economic and financial crimes commission, EFCC.

The Press statement read as follows:

PRESS RELEASE BY THE LAW FIRM OF EMEKA ETIABA SAN, EMEKA ETIABA & CO, ETIABA CHAMBERS

The attention of Our Client, Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue has been drawn to the news making round in the News Media to the effect that the large sums of money to wit: $38,000,000.00 (Thirty-Eight Million Dollars),N23,000,000.00 (Twenty-Three Million Naira) and £27,000.00 (Twenty-Seven Thousand Pounds) uncovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC) from an apartment in Osborne Towers, Osborne Road, Ikoyi Lagos, Lagos State belong to her.

By this Press Release, we inform the public (especially the News Media) that the said sums of money and/or the apartment where the sums of money were found do not belong to Our Client.

Our Client is as shocked as many other Nigerians at the uncovering and recovery of the said sums of money and wishes to salute the courage and efforts of the EFCC in the war against corruption.

She also wishes to commend the whistle blowing policy introduced by the Federal Government in the fight against corruption which policy has resulted in large scale uncovering and recovery of monies and assets.

It is Our Client’s belief that the source and ownership of the said uncovered sums of money is known or eventually will be known by the EFCC in due course. There is therefore no need for conjecture or speculation.

May we finally implore the News Media to be more circumspect in their publications.

Daddy Freeze, Akah Nnani clash over Emmanuel Iren

Published

By

Daddy Freeze, the media personality, has reacted to actor Akah Nnani’s call for prayer for him.

The controversy began when Peter Obi, former Anambra governor, urged Nigerians to prioritise work over vigils in order to improve productivity.

Emmanuel Iren, founder of Celebration Church International, opposed Obi’s advice, prompting Freeze to criticize the cleric for defending night vigils and claiming he supported the practice because it is his “source of income”.

In a now-viral video, Nnani described Freeze as a “lost soul” dealing with “church hurt”

The actor also urged Christians to pray for the media personality. Nnani claimed the Holy Spirit instructed him to pray for Freeze.

“This is not a usual video and I believed that I was told to do it and I didn’t want to procrastinate. It happened randomly, I was praying and the holy spirit says pray for Daddy Freeze,” he said.

“It came on my radar couple of days ago when he picked on a pastor I love, care about and I know he is a genuine man of God.

“I could have responded out of anger but I decided not to but in my prayer time the holy spirit just told me to pray for him. I believe as Christians if we pray more for people than attack we would see more results.

“So I’m going to call on every Christians to join me as I pray for Daddy Freeze and everyone dealing with church hurt.”

Freeze responded, arguing that Obi’s opinion on vigils is “valid”. He suggested that Nnani “needs the prayer more”.

The media personality also implied that Iren’s defense of night vigils is “self-serving”.

“Dear Akah, pray for Iren and for yourself. You need it more. Peter Obi made a valid point about night vigils,” he wrote.

“Iren tried defending his enterprise. All Iren’s boys are now running kata kiti trying to defend the indefensible.”

Why would you post pictures in your underwear? – Portable out calls Tiwa Savage

Published

By

Nigerian singer Portable has raked reactions on social media after calling Tiwa Savage out for posting pictures in her underwear at 40 years old.

During his recent TikTok live stream, Portable, who is known for his outspoken personality, questioned the appropriateness of Tiwa’s posts, particularly given her status as a mother and her age.

“I’ve noticed something; someone needs to talk to Tiwa Savage, please. Tell her to calm down o. I’ve been listening to her music since I was small now I’m a father and mummy Tiwa savage is still posting pictures in her underwear. Only panties? Is it good for a mum to post pictures in her underwear?”

Despite his criticism, Portable admitted Tiwa Savage appeals to him, describing her as a “bad girl” who has maintained her appeal since her younger years.

“E dey enter my eye, make I no lie. The day I met Tiwa Savage and I hugged her, it felt like I hugged a mermaid and was being swept away. But someone should tell her to calm down with the naked outfits.”

In between hysterical laughter, the singer added, “Tiwa Savage, I swear to God, you’re appealing to me. you’ve been bad since you were 19 and you’re still a bad girl at 40, you’re still wearing panties at 40.”

His remarks sparked reactions from social media users, with some slamming him and others expressing their support for his views.

An outraged Instagram user asked, “What level of disrespect is this?”

“I actually don’t think he means any harm. He’s just not emotionally intelligent. So he lacks the methodology to communicate his message appropriately. He’s basically saying Tiwa’s dress sense is becoming ‘fighting temptation’ in a nutshell,” another person wrote.

Another comment read, “He should be shut.up..Tiwa savage is an entertainer…if nicki minaj did the same u would not talk.”

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

Published

By

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”
