Teni under fire for prostrating for IBD Dende (Video)
Teni Apata, the Nigerian singer, has been criticised for her gesture towards Ibrahim Egungbohun, the businessman fondly called IBD Dende, on a plane.
On Friday, the songstress took to X to share a video of herself boarding the same aircraft with IBD Dende.
Upon citing the socialite, Teni prostrated before IBD Dende. She then raised her hands while praising the businessman.
The socialite, however, attempted to prevent Temi from prostrating as he rose to hug the overjoyous singer instead.
The video however triggered a wave of backlash on X where several users accused the singer of “hypocrisy”.
Some users also revisited the incident that took place in October 2022 when Teni was conferred with the member order of the Niger (MON) award at the National Honours Award ceremony.
The singer walked towards Muhammadu Buhari, the then president, and collected her award without any form of genuflection or handshake.
Some social media users had criticised her over what they described as her “discourteous demeanour” before the president.
The latest video has also continued to trigger a chorus of condemnation against the singer.
“We all know what we are doing…. Teni disrespected Buhari like she stands with the masses only to prostrate before IBD Dende,” a user wrote.
“The Teni refused to greet Buhari because he was a bad leader or for whatever reason, is now lying down for IBD Dende. Na wa ooo,” another user wrote.
Here is what some users had to say below:
We all know what we are doing…. Teni disrespected Buhari like she stands with the masses only to prostrate before IBD Dende. The entertainment industry colludes with those holding the country back! Fisayo must be sad right now. https://t.co/IWlqmHcfIV

Is this the same Teni that refused to shake 🤝 hands with Buhari in 2022? Falling down like a pig 🐖 before IBD Dende that has been exposed as the greatest smuggler in Nigeria? Did she even have to video it and post here? Fisayo Soyombo, a youth like u, will be so discouraged https://t.co/s3a0NWNytd

Teni can bow down to kiss the floor for IBD Dende while disrespecting Buhari. You guys are surprised cuz you're missing the point: she's not against corruption if it's her "faves" involved in the largesse.

The case of #Teni the entertainer seen prostrating face down before #IBD #Dende on a plane is truly nauseating. To think that this was the same lady who displayed an act tantamount to showing disdain for the then president Buhari, makes me tongue tied. Further questioning pic.twitter.com/7cBzQnY2Y7

What was Buhari's offence? pic.twitter.com/RU2J1rjH1I
When Teni snubbed Buhari during her award presentation, the country jumped for joy thinking she was protesting against the hardship in the country. “She’s on the side of the people”😂

Actress Queen Wokoma faces backlash for wearing short dress to Junior Pope’s funeral
Nollywood actress, Queen Wokoma, has found herself on the wrong side of the court of public opinion over the sheer and short outfit she wore at Junior Pope’s funeral on May 17, 2024.
The actress took to Instagram to post the pictures taken at the funeral, with the caption, “Here to pay our last respect to our Friend and Colleague. #ripjnrpope 🕊️.”
She sported a short black dress, sheer stockings and black heels, and social media users swiftly called her out for dressing “inappropriately.”
“If y’all really cared so much about this guy like y’all claimed, you wouldn’t have even bothered about looking nice to the funeral. It’s a young guy whose life was cut short in a tragic way and look at how you even posed for the picture. U did well,” a follower said, expressing her disapproval.
Another person reprimanded her saying, “You did well by going but this ur dressing is really a party wear. You actually wore that to a burial???? Na club you dey go? Abi na Wetin you dey celebrate?”

My wife sent 20 of her friends to beat me up, Oritsefemi claims
Oritsefemi, the Nigerian singer, has revealed what transpired between him and Nabila Fash, his estranged wife.
The couple tied the knot in 2017. In 2021, their marriage faced a crisis over allegations of infidelity.
Fash later accused the singer of “constant cheating, verbal and emotional abuse”.
She claimed Oritsefemi has children out of wedlock with the excuse of wanting a boy child.
She also alleged that the singer physically assaulted her twice in their relationship.
The ‘Igbeyawo’ hitmaker, however, denied the allegations.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi shared his opinion on the conflict in their marriage.
The 39-year-old singer claimed Fash had “21 miscarriages” but still held him responsible for their inability to have children.
Oritsefemi also alleged that she sent about twenty of her friends to beat him up in his house.
“Nabila had 21 miscarriages and she still dey tell me Oritsefemi say I no fit impregnate am,” he said in pidgin English.
“My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me o; a whole me, lion na him women dey pursue’.
“Dem reach like 20. Dem beat me o and no be say na lie.”
In 2022, Fash disclosed that she filed for divorce from Oritsefemi.
“It became important for my sanity and mental health to take a decision that wasn’t easy. But he isn’t accepting,” she said.
