Posted: 20 Nov 2019 12:30 AM PST


Former member of the defunct 'Plantashun Boi', Ahmedu Augustine, popularly known as Blackface, has finally dragged his former friend, Innocent Idibia to court for allegedly stealing his song.

The singer revealed that he waited this long before filing a complaint in court because he was waiting for  2Face  to do what's right.

He wrote on Instagram:

"I sincerely want to apologize to close friends, relatives, well wishers who may have been affected by my actions or inactions over the years. I have always stood for a better Nigeria,equal rights and an agitator for a system in place in our country so adequate compensation be given to not only Nigerian songwriters but song writers and creators all over the world ,an industry where all players in the creative process are recognized and credited for their contribution to any piece of work used commercially or otherwise.

I will never be intimidated by any threat My intention has never been to expose anybody but the truth finds it's way out eventually. My issues with Mr Innocent Idibia aka 2face & co are purely professional and my lawyers have filed my claims in Court, to be served to all parties in due time. I apologize for the delay in taking this step, i was hoping they would do the right thing and the need for me to take them to court will not arise but alas I was wrong.

I believe the legal system will resolve this eventually. I will also continue to defend myself in the 50Million suit they filled against me which comes up for mediation on the 25th of November 2019.

Meanwhile, I will not make any further statements on this issue until both lawsuits are concluded as I have entrusted this matter to my lawyers and the justice system. I appreciate all the good wishes from those who have reached out with their concerns over this protracted matter. Please bear with me as we calmly await the resolution of these cases.
Thank You All Mr Ahmedu Augustine (BlackFaceNaija)"

Popular internet sensation, Natacha Akide aka Port Harcourt First daughter has given her Titans a new gang slogan.

The reality star, while hailing her Titans in a video, screamed 'body odour gang' and they responded in affirmation.

The level of love which the Titans have for their Trident Queen, despite the controversies surrounding her has made people wonder if Tacha isn't using some sort of Jazz on them.

If you can recall, some days back, Kemi Olunloyo had called out the Titans crest, tagging it the devil's symbol. She also advised the Titans to move to Mercy's side.

One would have thought that the Titans would begin to have a rethink after hearing such statement from an investigative journalist.

Rather than switch to Mercy's side as expected, the Titans stormed Kemi's Twitter handle to blast her for making derogatory comments about their queen. They also slammed her for making comments on every issue just to trend on social media.

Nigeria's influential stylist, SwankyJerry has been called out on Twitter for posting different outfits on his page, and claiming to have styled them. He also called out Ike for giving his credit to Swanky because Swanky does free outfit for him.

Angelic Touch stylist called out the celebrity designer for stamping his name on jobs which he had no business in. He stated angrily that Jerry is fond of taking credits for his work.

Buttressing his point, he recounted past incidents of how the celebrity designer posted pictures of his own work and took credits for them from innocent Nigerians.

Stressing further, he explained that he once styled an outfit for Timaya's money video and before he could say Jack, Jerrry had already posted it on his IG page claiming to be the stylist. He only deleted the post when Timaya stepped in to blast him.

Currently he has posted pictures of Ike Onyema's outfit and has claimed to be the one who styled it too.

Narrating the issue, Angelic, who is the real stylist of Ike's outfit blasted him for his action and has vowed to take more drastic measures to curtail his senseless act, if he doesn't desist.

He penned a long writing to Ike… Saying he designed the shirt for him for free and Ike gave credit to someone else.

He wrote;

"I tried to be civil with you by sending you a message first to express my displeasure but you overlooked everything I explained and still gave my credit to someone else. You have edited your caption countless times which reflects your lack of integrity and good conscience. I came through for you inspite of the short notice and did everything I could to ensure I got you the best, still you undermined my effort.

I would always demand payment before service but I made an exception for you out of the goodness of my heart and to ensure you had something reputable to wear. You didn't pay me, yet I supplied everything without hesitation. Where was Swanky when I was at your house doing the fitting ?! I curated the whole look from inception, so give respect where it's due. You keep sucking up to Swanky which is disappointing. I understand that he does stuff for you for free but that shouldn't completely destroy your conscience.
Hopefully, you enjoyed your trip and the feeling of being best dressed. I'd need my outfit back by Tuesday, along with my payment . Wish you the best bro 🙏🏾"

BBNaija duo, Tacha and Sir Dee landed a big sucker punch full on the faces of their social media fans and followers when they posted a picture they took together, locked in warm embrace.

He said, "The ideal is simple -friendship," when asked what was the big idea behind the picture.

"There's nothing romantic whatsoever between us, it was just a show of friendship," he added.

The duo definitely has something for each as it was reflected in their separate posts on the Instagram.

Sir Dee had posted, "They say you choose your friends. Or they choose you. But they forget that circumstances more often than not bring you together. And those circumstances mould the path you both take. On this path we all have chosen, may light shine on our paths, and may fortune smile on us all, EVERYDAY! Thank you my #friendship for inviting me and giving such an awesome time! @symply_tacha ."

And Tacha had returned the favour with a glowing words of hers. "Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life and said, I am here for you and proved it? Thank you @sirdee_da you've only and only been true."

JUST-IN: Ex-President, Jonathan maybe suspended from PDP for Anti-Party Activities

Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan may be suspended from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over his alleged romance with the All Progressives Congress (APC) which contributed to the defeat of his party in last Saturday's governorship election in his home state of Bayelsa.

APC's candidate David Lyon polled 352,552 votes to defeat PDP's Senator Douye Diri who scored 143,172.

To some PDP chieftains, the loss of the state to APC after PDP's dominance for the past 20 years was chiefly as a result of Jonathan's indifference to what would happen to the ruling party in the state during the election............READ MORE>>>
