    How Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing dealt with touts disrupting her movie set

    Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, has narrated her ordeal with touts that disrupted her movie set and injured her crew members.

     

    Sharing the moment of tussle between the crew members and the area boys who stormed their filming site in Abeokuta, Ogun State, she said her anger was that they (touts) switched off a generator her crew members were using on set, without stating their grievance first.

     

    A video of injuries inflicted on one of the crew members was also shared.

    Fuming, she wrote:

    “They do nothing but disrupt movie set all the time…Jobless street lay about ????”

     

    “You came on my set,Turned off my Generator and disrupted my shoot,without asking for anything,and you expect me to still give you money after that?

     

    “The jobless Twat said his useless wife came to wake him up from sleep that Nkechi blessing is filming in Abeokuta,so he came on purpose..Your body go tell you sha e sure!!!

     

    “My car I can fix easily but your body go tell you…If you had asked for anything before turning off my gen is a diff thing entirely,I resemble Butty for you eye?

     

    “Abi dem no tell you say I be Garage girl few weeks ago @femiakinyemi_official Mabinu jare my able Pm❤️❤️❤️”

     

    Meanwhile, Nkechi’s ex-lover, Opeyemi Falegan, has shared a loved-up video with a mystery lady days after his faceoff with the actress.

     

    Recall that Nkechi and Opeyemi Falegan got into a messy fight on social media a few days back which proved rumours about their crashed relationship true.

    However, netizens are speculating that the Ekiti State politician has ‘moved on’ after he shared a video with a white lady alongside a caption that reads:

     

    “It easier to talk than to listen
    Practice listening ( don’t be a pen gladiator with no value or doings in
    Life) (a good friend )”

    FPSO Trinity Spirit fire: 3 crew members alive, 7 missing, one dead body found – SEPCOL

    Three crew members on board the Trinity Spirit Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel gutted by fire at the Ukpokiti Terminal last Wednesday have been confirmed alive.

    Though a yet-to-be identified body was discovered close to the offshore facility in the wee hours of Sunday, the seven others remain missing.

    The management of Shebah Exploration & Production Company Limited (SEPCOL) (in receivership) confirmed the development in a statement on Sunday.

    According to the statement, the trio was found in a community (name undisclosed).

    The statement signed by Ikemefuna Okafor, Chief Executive Officer of SEPCOL said in parts: “We can confirm that three (3) crew members have been found alive in the community and our priority is to ensure that they receive the appropriate medical attention they need.

    “Furthermore, in the early hours of Sunday 6th February 2022, one dead body was discovered in the vicinity of the FPSO. The identity of the dead body is yet to be ascertained.

    “As earlier confirmed, the fire burnt out completely as of Thursday afternoon, 3rd Feb. 2022, thus enabling closer inspection of the vessel.

    “A Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) with the relevant authorities, stakeholders, and expert organisations took place on Saturday, 5th February 2022.

    “The focus of our joint efforts is to prioritise investigations towards establishing the whereabouts, safety, and security of the 7 crew members still missing, clean up and limit damage to the environment, and establish the cause of the explosion.

    “We appreciate the assistance provided by the Clean Nigeria Associates, the Chevron team,
    NOSDRA, NUPRC, SPDC, NIMASA and people in the community, particularly the fishermen, who have been of immense assistance since the incident occurred”.

    The vessel, which eventually burnt out and sunk, had a capacity to produce 22,000 crude oil barrels daily and serves as the primary production facility for OML 108.
