Reality TV Star, Nina Ivy celebrates 26th birthday with jaw-dropping photos

An ex-BB9ja housemate, Nina Onyenobi, aka Nina Ivy, who is celebrating her 26th birthday today, May 31, has released jaw-dropping photos to mark her new age.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the mother of one, who became famous after participating in the 2018 edition of Big Brother Naija, took to her Instagram page to share the photos.

She donned a stunning black figure-hugging dress with a crotch-high slit and wrote, “Happy birthday Nina, I am proud of you #chapter26.”

Her colleagues, fans and followers have sent in their well-wishes to celebrate her on her special day.

A while ago, Nina was said to have undergone plastic surgery to increase the size of her butt.

The reality star took to her Insta-stories to share a photo with her doctor, who’s reportedly the same doctor that helped her colleague, Khloe achieve her banging body through similar procedure.

To further confirm the claim, fellow Big Brother Naija star, Khloe shared videos from her visit to the hospital to see Nina’s new body. “Had to come see Nina’s body”, she captioned her post.

See photos below:

It would be recalled that the Reality TV star had been stripped of her brand ambassador deal with Mav Herbals, a butt enlargement brand, after going public with her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure.

A Brazilian butt lift is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves the transfer of fat to help create more fullness in your backside.

Mav Herbals is a popular Nigerian herbal body sculpting brand.

Nina, a popular housemate in the BBNaija 2018 edition, signed the deal with Mav Herbal barely a month ago.

She has been called out by the brand for sharing photos and videos of herself undergoing a butt enlargement procedure at 305 Plastic Surgery, Florida, U.S.

Nina currently lives in the U.S. with her husband and son.

She bared it all on Instagram and the company threatened to sue her for breach of contract after openly announcing that she went under the knife somewhere else.

They said the action has damaged their public image and made them lose customers’ trust.

However, Nina claimed she informed the company prior to signing the contract.

She said, ‘‘Most of you are suffering from depression because you don’t want your current body and no money for surgery because you can’t afford one.

“So all you gotta do is to sit and judge. Sis, I got my body done. I took out my fat and put it where I need it more and damn, this my new body is killing. I did it for me and not any of you.”

“And no, I never signed a contract not to have my body done before getting signed by any brand. In fact, I always tell my manager to tell them that I am getting surgery. So all these fuses are a waste of time.”

Following Nina’s response, Mav Herbals blew hot and then proceeded to issue a disclaimer.

They also announced the cancellation of Nina’s contract barely three weeks after the endorsement deal was signed.

Their statement read, “How in the world do I explain to people about this damage you have done to my brand?

Barely three weeks after you signed a deal with me, you went ahead to use the money to do plastic surgery.

“Why didn’t you finish the deal as promised since you already collected money from me? I paid you millions of naira!

“Asides from the fact that I am collecting my full balance back from you, I need a public apology for the confusion you have caused today on social media.

“I am the last person to be messed with because I know how hard I have worked for my brand. Is it a bad thing I paid you to influence for me?”

They also criticised the Reality TV Star for not reaching out to them to offer an apology.

Mav Herbals provide an array of services ranging from body and beauty enhancements as well as sexual enhancement products.

Nina, who owns a hair and beauty brand, Nina’s empire, has made a name for herself as a beauty entrepreneur.

She launched her brand on May 31, 2018.

The Reality TV Star, who is married to a man simply identified as Mr Tosh, had her plastic surgery done on June 2.

I wish I had taken more photos naked – Tboss

Ex- reality star and social media influencer, Tokunbo Idowu, better known as Tboss, has said that she wished she had taken more photos naked, as she opened about her body changes.

The mother-of-one took to her verified Instagram page on Saturday to share a video of herself involved in boxing workout.

In her caption, the former Big Brother Naija season two contender stated that she misses her old body before she became a mother.

She said, “Motherhood: Everything’s different on these streets these days. Some days, I don’t even recognize myself.

“I wanna say that I love my new body but that wouldn’t be entirely true – we struggle with so many changes and whilst I do realize that this change had to come for me to feel the Joy & life which I feel- I sometimes miss my old body.

“Damn, I was sexy. My body was banging. I just wish I had taken more photos naked. However since I can’t diet because I love food too much and I haven’t found a slimming tea that’s pleasant to the taste and actually works, I have decided to exercise and I found that boxing does it for me.

“It’s an overall physical and mental workout and it makes me feel super amazing. Looking forward to when I would look great again.”

Tboss also stated that boxing makes her more confident.

Zuma appears in court on corruption charges [Photos]

Former South African president Jacob Zuma appeared in courton Friday to face corruption charges relating to a 2.5 billion dollars arms deal.

The 75-year-old, whose scandal-plagued nine years in office were marked by economic stagnation and credit downgrades, faces 16 charges including fraud, racketeering and money laundering.

Zuma denies any wrongdoing and is challenging the decision to prosecute the case, a dramatic development on a continent where political leaders are rarely held to account for their actions before the law.

Wearing a dark suit, a smiling Zuma waved to crowds of supporters and reporters as he mounted the steps of the High Court in Durban shortly before 0700 GMT.

The speed with which prosecutors have booked his day in court is a sign of the loss of control Zuma has suffered since his successor, Cyril Ramaphosa, became head of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in December.

However, Zuma still retains some popular support, especially in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal, where the case is being heard.

Heavily armed police in riot gear lined the square outside the court, as thousands of Zuma supporters gathered to express solidarity with a leader they say is the victim of a politically motivated witchhunt.

Marchers, many clad in the distinctive yellow, green and black of the ANC, carried placards reading “Hands off Zuma” and performed the high-stepping toyi-toyi protest dance made popular in South Africa’s decades-long struggle against apartheid.

Businessman Siya Khoza said he admired Zuma’s determination to bring in economic policies that he said were designed to spread the wealth in what remains one of the world’s most unequal societies.

“Whatever happens we will still support Zuma because we believe he brought us radical economic transformation and we still believe that him being in the ANC he will push for it,” said Khoza, wearing a waistcoat emblazoned in ANC colors.

Zuma’ son Edward told supporters at nearby park where several thousand people held an overnight vigil that his father was not worried.

“I would want to believe that as an innocent man, he is definitely not worried,” the domestic News24 agency quoted Edward Zuma as saying.

Zuma, who was forced to resign by the ANC last month, was at the center of a 1990s deal to buy billions of dollars of European military hardware to upgrade South Africa’s post-apartheid armed forces.

The deal was mired in scandal and controversy from the start, with many inside and outside the ANC questioning the spending given the massive social issues, from health to education, Nelson Mandela’s party had to address after coming to power in 1994.

Fallout has cast a shadow over South African politics ever since.

Zuma was deputy president at the time. Schabir Shaikh, his former financial adviser, was found guilty and jailed in 2005 for trying to solicit bribes for Zuma from a subsidiary of French arms company Thales.

The company is facing charges in the same case.

Charges against Zuma were filed but then set aside by the National Prosecuting Authority shortly before he successfully ran for president in 2009.

The charges were re-instated in 2016.

Since his election nine years ago, his opponents have fought a lengthy legal battle to have the charges reinstated.

Zuma countered with his own legal challenges.

Former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme, his remains have finally been laid to rest amid tributes.

Top government officials, close friends and family, gathered at his hometown in Oko Anambra state, where he was buried on Friday.

The former Vice President whose remains returned to Nigeria on Monday, died at a hospital in London United Kingdom on November 19, 2017, following a respiratory illness.

Born October 21, 1932, Ekwueme started his career as an architect after earning a bachelor’s degree in architecture and city planning, as an awardee of the Fulbright Scholarship, from the University of Washington in the United States.

He later obtained a master’s degree in urban planning and also earned degrees in sociology, history, philosophy and law from the University of London.

Furthering his education, he obtained a PhD in Architecture from the University of Strathclyde, before gaining the BL (honours) degree from the Nigerian Law School.

In 1979, Ekwueme became Nigeria’s first Vice President, serving as deputy to Shehu Shagari, until 1983 when they were ousted in a coup.

Over the years, he played several roles domestically and internationally, cementing his status as a statesman.

In the course of the week, tributes poured in from many prominent Nigerians and top government officials who shared experiences from their relationship with him and described him as a rare gem who will be greatly missed.

As he is finally laid to rest today, the hope of many is that his legacies live on and Nigeria continues to uphold the virtues of unity and integrity and selfless service as he had always practised.
