Miss Anambra Unending Saga

 
  Remember that we posted a video showing the beauty queen engaged in lesbian acts with one of her close friends, a lady known as ‘Ada’ . Chidinma later reacted to the video saying it was not her and that her face was super-imposed into the video. She also went ahead to claim it was the works of her haters who want her downfall. But the blackmailer did not relent. The blackmailer (who was assumed to be one of her close friends) went ahead to release a part 2 of the sex video which clearly shows her face . The leakers of the videos later claimed Chidinma Okeke has been dethroned due to the sex-tape scandal.
Also yesterday, Wednesday, October 26, the embattled Miss Anambra 2015 posted a message on Facebook to everyone who cares to know her side of the story, saying she is ready to open up on the blackmail but the
blackmailers are threatening to shoot her to death if she reveals anything.
Well, after days of going front and back about the lesbian sex scandal video, some quarters are claiming a man is behind it all.

”These are rough times for the 2015 Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, whose sex video has been trending in the media, as our in depth investigation has unearth the real details how the video got leaked.
Chidinma Okeke
”Secret Reporters findings revealed that, the Director of Anambra Broadcasting Service, Uche Nworah, has been having sex with Chidinma, which was how she was able to win the beauty pageant, but trouble broke out, when he wanted to pass Chidinma to his other friends to also have a taste of her, but for her refusal, she was threatened, and could not bear the pressure anymore, she decided to surrender the Kia car she was given as the star price, and the crown, so she could be left alone.

”But trouble was looming for her, as the ABS Director insisted on having his way, else he will expose her, but Chidinma was not moved by this threat, until when she handed over the crown, so as not to bring disrepute to the pageantry, they waited for her to handover the crown, before he leaked the sex video alleged highly placed sources.
”Secret Reporters have been reliably informed that, the sex for winning has been ongoing, in the beauty contest, organized by the ABS, and Nworah taking advantage of innocent girls who want fame and expose, then after mutilating them, leading them also into life unbecoming and turn them to sex tools or start black mailing them for not giving into his advances.
urther findings reveal that, Nworah waited after series of continual exploit, which Chidinma got over the effect of the drugs used to shackle her brain, and decided that enough is enough, that was the beginning of her travails, ABS decided that they will ruin her, maim and make her life miserable, as further investigation shows that, on the 11th of October, 2016, in a stage managed broadcast, Chidinma handed over her crown and the car to Uche Nworah, and that was the same day the sex tape was released.

Tiwa Savage "I Don't Try To Waste Time On People That Don't Love Me"

    Popular singer, Tiwa Savage, in an interview talks about her new deal with Roc Nation, negativity from the media and others.
The sexy mum of one opened up to Premium Times on Tuesday, October 18, 2016, on her plans for the future.

On handling the press, "Generally speaking all that has been written about me doesn’t really affect me anymore. When I got into the industry initially, it was very difficult for anybody to realise this. But now, I have come to the realisation that the hard work you put in and the positive things that you do as an artiste always outweighs the negative. Whether you’re in the media, a banker or a nurse, you’re going to have people talk about you. Not everyone loves Jesus Christ so who am I to talk about people saying things about me? You can’t make everyone happy. I don’t try to waste time on people that don’t love me, so I just spend time with people that love me so I don’t disappoint them. "
On her deal with Jay Z' Roc Nation, " Meeting him is such a great achievement but the work really starts now so we can really prove to the world that the partnership is successful. "

Speaking about her future plans, the ' Standing ovation ' singer revealed plans to work and break into the international market.
According to her, " I definitely don’t want to forget my Nigerian roots. I think that when you sign an international deal, there is this tendency to forget home. We artistes also tend to forget that the main reason they signed you is because you were doing very well at home, so you can’t forget that. So, I am basically just trying to strike a balance with both audience and market. "
Tiwa also revealed a deep passion to grow the Tiwa Savage brand home and abroad.

Rio 2016 Olympics: Okagbare Not Banned — AFN

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria has described as outright falsehood media reports that fleet footed Africa queen of the track and field, Blessing Okagbare, has been banned by the National Sports Commission and AFN from participating in the Rio 2016 Olympics Games.

In a statement signed by Olukayode Thomas, a member of the board of AFN and head of Communication and Media, the AFN described the report as false.

“Why would a reporter report that Okagbare has been banned from the Rio Olympics and will not attribute such an important story to a staff of NSC or AFN? The story is not true.’’

Mr. Thomas said that Okagbare has not done anything that warrants the federation to ban her.

“Even if Okagbare has done something and we intend to punish her, the secretary General will first write her a letter inviting her to face disciplinary committee where she will defend herself against the allegation. After a fair hearing, the disciplinary committee will make a recommendation to the board, and the board will now decide’’.

Mr. Thomas said as of Wednesday, AFN had not queried or summoned Okagbare to appear before a disciplinary committee.

He also argued that the NSC headed by Alhassan Yakmut will not ban Okagbare without a fair hearing if she committed any offense.

“Okagbare has not done anything to warrant NSC to ban her, but even if she did, the Director General is former athlete and an astute administrator, he will follow due process,’’ said Mr. Thomas.
