Controversial Journalist Kemi Olunloyo reacts after Titans dragged her son on Twitter

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:30 PM PST

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has reacted after Tacha's fans invaded her son's Twitter handle and dragged him for referring to a Titan, identified as Ashley as a 'slay prostitute'.

As expected, Titans stormed Twitter earlier today to slam him for making such statement against a Titan, with some making harsh remarks about his physical appearance, and others tagging him 'son of a prostitute'.

Reacting to this, Kemi wrote;

"Tomorrow 12 noon sharp to 3pm. I will be talking about the #socialmediabill on @nigeriainfofmlagos with @collins_teke
I SUPPORT THE BILL AS EXCESSES NEED TO BE CURBED.

Take for example this Tacha vs Mercy fans beef on Twitter everyday. My son @richkjtmusic went hard on some of Tacha's fans. He is quiet, doesn't bother anyone and spotted someone calling his mom a "mad woman".

Tacha's mom is DEAD and I asked my son not to go there because what Ashley said has nothing to do with Tacha's mom but only being a die-hard Tacha fan. I showed it to our honorable Minister who said it will even be clamped down under the hate speech law.

Remember I always WARN YOU not to mention my family in your hate for me. I don't know your family. I don't care if Tacha is "someone's child too" you don't know that someone and we didn't call them "MAD". This tweet clapback went viral.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY CHILDREN. The tech guru middke child took her page down for 24hrs. My children are not Nigerians. Only @richkjtmusic. Don't call me a mad woman. All the young men supported my son while the young ladies were half and half saying Ashley DESERVED IT!".

Lady denied access into an Abuja lounge for being without a man

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 06:00 AM PST

 A Nigerian lady has narrated how she and her friend were denied entry into an Abuja lounge because they had no male companion.

According to her, they were initially refused entrance into the lounge because they had no male companion, only for the bouncer to later reveal that the action was taken simply because management felt they wouldn't be able to pay for their drinks.

"I'm so livid!!!! My friends and I walked into a lounge and they refused to let us in cause there's a policy that doesn't let women in without a male champion. This is freaking 2019!!

Women with striving careers can't hang out and have fun in Abuja Without a man? Wow!

A gentleman came to our rescue and assured the bouncer we weren't "street girls."Lmao why should street girls be banned from having a good time with male counterparts ffs? Streets girls are human!

The bouncer's argument was that we can't afford a drink in the lounge …My friend brought out her business card", she tweeted.

Akpodiete who was represented by the Dean of Students Affairs, Thomas Ojuye, said the ban on the use of face caps is to stop "indecent dressing" among students on campus.

The rector said the polytechnic's security unit had been authorised as a matter of importance to destroy seized caps henceforth.

(A Summary) Here’s What Glory Osei Said in her Tweets

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 12:30 AM PST


You already know the story, past employees (too many, actually) of Glory Osei and her husband, Muyiwa Folorunso, sharing their stories and experience of working for the couple's string of businesses.

Today, Monday, after remaining incognito on social media for a while, has returned, and she's addressing the allegations.

"The collective intelligence of a mob is less than that of a toddler or the early man or a tadpole." That's how the thread starts. Gives you an idea of what's coming.

There, you've been caught up. Now, let's get straight to it.

In the first few tweets she discusses running a jewellery business with her partner (who we're assuming is Muyiwa) in 2014. It was a small business, she shared, without funds. The goal was to survive one month at a time, and her sales staff agreed to be paid on a commission on sales. It was a "god awful time," the company struggling, making only ₦3 million to ₦5 million in revenue monthly, and she could only afford to eat, drink, and travel once a month flying economy.

Then ebola happened. Muyiwa was paranoid, so the two of them decided to move to Ghana while the ebola crisis was ongoing. Before leaving, they met with their team, "pleaded with them" to work Saturdays, too, so that the revenue could increase while they were away in Ghana. The staff had come up with excuses, she shared, but after she and her partner "sweetened the deal," their staff came through.

But, alas, while they were in Ghana, safely tucked away from ebola, the members of their staff reneged on the deal and did not show up on Saturdays. Sales plummeted. And because they were in Ghana nothing could be done. Especially after they heard from a source that the staff members had vowed to destroy office properties if they were fired.

They—Osei and Muyiwa(again, we assume)—decided to return after the 4th Saturday of their staff not showing up. They informed the manager, she shared, and the man immediately resigned from his job. He also demanded a pay, and threatened to sue if they didn't pay him. (She doesn't share how that ended.)

When they returned from Ghana, (she was "barely 22" and her partner was in his 20s, too), they quizzed each sales staff one by one, asking why they didn't show up on Saturdays as agreed. There was no response. So they gave them all suspension letters. And what did the sales staff do? They wiped the important data on their phones and began to protest outside the office, demanding to be paid. Those did not wipe their data were paid, and others were ignored until they tired out and left.

(This thing is long, guys.)

A store manager who was being disagreeable was let go, she shared, and was paid. Still, she shared, he went ahead to write a post on Nairaland, "The truth about the True Rebel Fashion Company," which caused her "a loss of innocence."

She pivoted to selling waist trainers after seeing a photo of Kim Kardashian wearing one, and her business grew from a ₦4 million average business to a ₦20 million one. She increased salaries and moved the business out of Ikorodu.

HER RELATIONSHIP
She shared that she never liked the idea of marriage, and while she loves the person she married, "he was a good excuse to leave my parents and he is also good to look at." And he felt the same, too.

Her private life is private, she shared.

BACK TO BUSINESS
She's made over a billion Naira selling slimtea, flat tummy tea, and hairnownow in Nigeria, she shared. There's something about slimtea not working, and while she knows, she continues to sell it because people keep demanding for it. She eventually shut down the business though, "After making a lot of money from it of course."

There's a good chance she made more money from slimtea than JAY-Z did selling drugs, she added.

(If you guys want to see a tour of her home, tweet 107 it is.)

PORKMONEY
Glory and Muyiwa started Porkmoney for one reason: to do better than they had ever done. They worked hard and worked their people harder, she shared, buying pigs from farmer partners while waiting for their piglets to grow.

…and that's all she says about that.

LANDLAGOS
Here's where the allegations made against her and her partner are addressed. Kinda. She shared how they realised they couldn't continue to pay 20 people, so they paid their last salary and offered to pay them on commission if they wanted to remain with the company. The staff members agreed.

While some did well and made money off their commissions, others didn't, and still demanded to be paid at the end of the month.

That's all.

Guys, I could go on, but I think it's obvious nothing was actually said in these tweets. Sure, there are several insults between these topics (your parents abused you, you deserve Buhari, you are children of hate) but that's pretty much it.

There's a part at the end where Muyiwa's voice comes in. He apologises for "raising my voice … my passion … overwhelming you with my own ambition and causing to bend in unnatural shapes to achieve my goals." Yeah.
