    Funke Akindele’s mum died when most needed – PDP women leader

    The Lagos State PDP Women Leader, Alhaja Idowu Akinsanya, has commiserated with the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Ms Funke Akindele, on the demise of her mother, Dr R. B. Adebanjo-Akindele.

    Akinsanya in a statement said the death of the mother of the veteran Nollywood actress came as a rude shock to the women wing in the party.

    According to her, the death of Akindele’s mother came when she was most needed in the build-up to the elections.

    “We lost her at this period that all the women in Lagos needed her most,” Akinsanya said.

    She, however, said that Funke Akindele mother’s death would not discourage the campaign toward ensuring victory for the party.

    Akinsanya said that women in the party would move closer to Akindele and support her vision to give back to the women in society and the less privileged when emerged as the deputy governor.

    She said that the party’s governorship candidate, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (JANDOR) and Akindele had been working hard to make sure PDP wins the election.

    “Lagos women will stand firm and throw their weight behind Jandor and Funke Akindele during this crucial period.

    “This will not weaken their effort or deter them from the dream ahead, but rather will make them stronger and more focused,” she said.

    She prayed that God would grant Akindele the fortitude to bear the loss, urging all PDP members to keep praying for the party’s deputy governorship candidate.

    Adebanjo-Akindele’s death was announced on Tuesday evening by Funke’s sister, Olubunmi Akindele, on her Instagram page on behalf of the families of Adebanjo and Akindele.

    Growing up I told my mom about a guy that had crush on me- Simi

    Simi Ogunleye, Nigerian singer better known as Simi,said she opened up about a guy who had a crush on her when she was younger to her mother.

    Simi made this known during a new episode of her talkshow tagged ‘Stoopid Sesssions’.

    Making reference to how she was brought up as a girl in an African home, the ‘Jamb Question’ crooner said: “I had the better end of the bargain as a Nigerian child growing up because my mom was my friend .If I had a crush on a guy, I will tell her.

     

    “There was this guy that had a crush on me and wanted to take me out to the cinema. I told him to come and tell my mom. He came and told her and also informed her about the time I will be back. She didn’t make me feel like I had to hide anything from her . I was comfortable enough to always go to her and because she had always given me some boundaries, and I know she has given me a certain level of freedom and trusted me , it also helped to curb my excesses. I didn’t want to disappoint her because of the level of trust she had in me” She said.

    Expressing her dissatisfaction about gender roles in Africa, she said:”Women are groomed to learn how to cook, to clean the house, to be a homemaker, while the male child is trained to be the head of the house. That circle has continued for a long time. So when women grow up, they believe that is the purpose for their life”.

  • I miss everything about my mother- Chioma Akpotha

    Sensational actress, Chioma Akpotha, took to her Instagram page on the 22nd of May 2019 to celebrate the life of her mother who died about five years ago.

    Speaking in a chat with Punch, she said her mom died with 90 per cent of her secrets.

     

    “It has been five years that my mother has died and till date, I still miss everything about her. Being the first daughter, she was my best friend but whenever I misbehaved, she hardly used a cane on me, instead, she would use her hand, slippers, pestle, among other things. She was left handed but I always forgot that aspect whenever she was beating me, so there were times that I would expect the slap on the right cheek and would have guarded the right side of my face only for the slap to land on the left side. I miss her a lot. My mother went to her grave with about 90 per cent of my secret and that is how close I was to my mother. She was practically my backbone.

     

    Recalling how her late mom was helpful to her during the birth of her son, she said: “When I had my first son, my mother stayed with us for about a year. Although she had a restaurant at the time, she abandoned it to look after my child and would accompany me to the various movie sets I had to attend. She was running her business from the movie location. I miss everything about her. There is a saying that Igbo people have which states, ‘the day you lose your mother is the day you lose your God. Her death has thrown me into the open but I believe she is now an angel who watches over me from up above and she is fighting for me”.

    ‘My son is innocent’- Dammy Krane’s mum reveals [Video]

    Dammy Krane’s mother, Elizabeth Adeola Oshodi, has claimed that her son is innocent of the allegation of theft against him. The Amin crooner was on Friday last week detained for allegedly using a stolen credit card to book a private jet in Miami, United States, US. He has been arraigned on a nine-count charge of grand theft and credit card forgery.

    Speaking on his arrest, the singer’s mother claimed that Dammy Krane’s flight ticket and hotel bookings were illegally purchased by a show promoter before he got detained while trying to board the flight from Maimi to Washington.

    Krane is currently being held in jail at the Miami Dade County Corrections as he expects to meet his bond requirement.

    In a statement shared on Facebook, Oshodi stated that the singer will clear his name in court and instructed all artistes to purchase their ticket by themselves to avoid a related incident.

    According to her: “As an artiste, promoters book your hotel stays and often buy your destination tickets. It’s never once crossed our hearts as a performing entertainment family, to have to verify that the sources of bookings are legitimate.

    “And please, keep in mind that we’ve been in the industry for almost 15 years. Then came the unfortunate past Friday, when Dammy Krane got arrested trying to board a flight from Maimi to Washington: Maryland. His ticket and hotel bookings were fraudulently purchased by the next show promoter (s). And because of Dammy Krane’s fame, all accusatory hell, broke loose.

     

    “We thank God for His goodness and the great spirit of truth. He will have his day in court to clear his name. He will give his personal press release shortly l, however, have decided to speak up against insinuations of fraudulence

     

    and grand theft. Dammy is a truly gentle and honest citizen of our planet and remains a good ambassador for not just the music industry, but Nigeria as a whole.

     

    “I also will like to seize this rare opportunity to warn all promoters, entertainers, the music industry, the performing arts world & all travel-prone individuals to , from now on;

     

    “Buy your tickets yourself.

    “Ensure by prior verification that your ticket and hotel reservations match the purchaser’s info.

     

    “How? By declining emergency arrangements that do not give up to 24 to 48 hours to allow you call the airlines and hotels for verifications. Remember to always give the option for promoters or show organizers to buy all bookings and must accompany with the booking profiles: the names used for bookings, and phone numbers must match your designated or named offers, or they will need to send the cash in their verifiable names to your business account.

     

    “It hurts so bad that fellow Nigerians will do such a damaging act to another, knowing that the repercussions could be so devastating. We are aware of the implications at hand and pray for your faith in our purity, even as we beg for your patience to let the law take its’ course”.
