"Mercy Johnson is rude" Nigerian man slams Actress for snubbing fans in USA

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 11:30 PM PDT

A fan of Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie has called her out for being rude and disrespectful after she snubbed him in the U.S.A.

According to the fan, he was in a supermarket when Mercy walked in. An African American guy excitedly walked up to her and asked for a photo but Mercy rudely shoved him off without even acknowledging him.

She was out shopping when the guy met her and she exhibited this alleged rude behaviour.
Another Nigerian guy nearby, a journalist known as Babalola, narrated what happened to blogger Kemi Ashefon.

Babalola said, "you people should be talking to your Nollywood stars. I just ran into Mercy Johnson at one African store in Randallstown, MD about 10 minutes ago.

One black American guy, apparently married to a Nigerian, asked MJ for a photograph together, she declined and talked rudely to the guy.
"I don't know you," she told the guy and rebuffed explanation by the guy that it was his wife who knows her. She waived the guy.

The black guy was muttering over the way she treated him all through while we were at the check-out counter. Not that she must agree to having to take photos with him but there are polite ways to reject such without being seen to be rude. She's a star for God's sake!

"Thank God I'm not the type that asked for photographs she could have been rude to me too. I was elated to see her because she's one of my favorite Nigerian actresses. Maybe she's touchy because she appears to be pregnant. She was in company with her little girl."

The comedian in a post shared on his official Twitter page noted that the individual had won the sum of N10,000 on his page.

You did same to me while we dated. did you not know that your Girlfriend's at that time kept sending me threat messages, why would you think I am the one who wrote that unnecessary stuff to your wife.

If you claim I am the one and not one of your numerous victims, send proof. Where is your evidence?

The world doesn't know how much of a drama king you are not until they come around you to know and see you are a psychopath. No woman in her right senses would go diabolic on you.

Even your mum is aware of the numerous threats I got and deep down within yourself, you are aware that even in d next world I wouldn't go out on another woman for your bullshit!

Grow up Kelly!
Grow up!
Accept your flaws, your mistakes and make amends Baby Daddy.
Just for the records, you are not worth my time no more.'





Ex-porn star, Savage Trap Queen blasts Swanky Jerry for his statement on women going nude on IG Live

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 05:00 AM PDT

Savage Trap Queen, who quit acting adult movies a year and three months ago, called out the celebrities who are encouraging women to twerk on Instagram Live.

She also called out celebrity stylist Swanky Jerry for his statement on the matter where he asked men to stop judging the women who are going naked on IG Live.

She made unfounded allegations about Swanky's sexuality and asked him if he would be open to having sex with his "boyfriend" on IG Live.


She said these during an Instagram Live interview with OAP Daddy Freeze. She discouraged women from going naked on IG Live, adding that she's been there and it doesn't pay.

"There is no dignity in going nude on IG," Savage Trap Queen said.

To the men supporting the videos and saying it's no big deal, she asked: "Can you marry a girl stripping on IG live?."

She continued: "Our celebrities are supposed to be encouraging our youths, but instead, they're luring them into the same things they stand against."

She further stated that all the celebrities making women go naked and twerk on IG live for a "token" are "hypocrites". She questioned why they can't help the women financially without making them sell their dignity for it.

"Girls use your sense. it's tactics. They are using you to grow their followers."

"Nobody forced them, yes, but if you do not promote them, they won't give in. Everybody knows everywhere is tight now. If you want to do giveaway, do giveaway, but don't put people in a very tight corner. Stop using these girls.

"Girls, how many men do you see on IG showing their thing?

"You don't have to go nude, you don't have to start fingering yourself on IG. It's immoral. I've been there. It's nothing. It will only backfire.

She gave an example using Etinosa and how MC Galaxy "used" her last year by having her come on Instagram Live naked. Savage Trap Queen said MC Galaxy later released a song and Etinosa was left no choice but to "lie" that she was drunk so as to hide her shame.

Savage Trap Queen added: "And I don't care if she (Etinosa) comes for me. If she comes for me, I'll come at her too."

She also brought up Swanky Jerry's post where the stylist asked men to stop judging women going naked on IG Live.

The celebrity stylist said: "You all men should stop complaining about women getting naked. It's men that have subjected women to this level of madness and still subjecting them till today.

"I don't see these women twerking on other women's Instagram Live.

"Attack the men having the live sessions. The women are not the only ones to blame."

Savage Trap Queen opposed Swanky's support for the twerking women and she attacked him for it, saying: "Swanky Jerry, you're bisexual. Can you come and start f***ing your boyfriend on IG?"

At this point, Freeze cautioned his guest, telling her that she can't make unfounded claims.

Anthony Joshua lists 7 fighters he would love to face before retirement

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 02:30 AM PDT

Heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua has named seven fighters he could face before he hangs up his gloves.

Nigerian-born British champ Joshua is due to defend his three belts against Kubrat Pulev this summer.

Originally slated for June 20, the clash has been delayed due to the coronavirus crisis which has wiped out the global sports calendar.

But in the event of a successful title defence, Joshua has set his sights on a slew of heavyweight rivals.

When asked who he could face, he told Sky Sports: "(Oleksandr) Usyk, (Deontay) Wilder, (Tyson) Fury, (Luis) Ortiz.

"Who else? I think that's probably the majority. Adam Kownacki, Jarrell Miller… you know, that's six names."

Joshua went on to add Dillian Whyte to the mix having beaten his compatriot in 2015.

"I know he's been chasing a world title shot. I offered him a world title shot last year in April, he refused it.

"Maybe he wants his hand on the WBC, but if me and Tyson Fury fight, then I know he didn't want to fight me last year, but he'll definitely have to fight me this time, if he wants his hands on the WBC belt.

"Once I've beaten Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte can come and get this work as well. It won't be that good, it will be one-sided."

Joshua and Fury had hoped to clash at the end of the year in a blockbuster battle of Britain, but the pandemic looks to have put paid to that prospect.

Meanwhile, Fury must first defend his own world title against Wilder in their trilogy clash pencilled for later this year.

Dj Cuppy panics as oil price crashes below $0 a barrel

Posted: 22 Apr 2020 08:19 AM PDT

Daughter of billionaire oil mogul, Dj cuppy has revealed her actual reaction after seeing oil trade at a negative price some few hours ago.

Dj Cuppy's dad, Femi Otedola is the former chairman of Forte Oil PLC, he is an importer of fuel products and the founder of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, and the owner of a number of other businesses across shipping, real estate and finance.

That gives more than enough reason why she should fear over the drop in the oil price.


Oil price took a negative dive in the late hours of Monday April 20, as it plunged further to below $0 a barrel for the first time as the coronavirus pandemic lingers.

In a historic crash which came barely a month after experts warned oil prices could dip into negative territory, oil futures opened at their lowest level since 1983.

MarketWatch reported that the soon-to-expire May contract for the U.S. oil benchmark finished deeply in negative territory of $-37.63 a barrel. This implied that investors will need to pay buyers to take delivery of crude oil, reflecting a growing glut of crude and a lack of storage space.

With hundreds of millions of people around the world staying at home to stop the spread of COVID-19, travel by car or plane is nearly nonexistent. Factor in a major lag in manufacturing and other economic activity that requires oil and the reasons for the dramatic crash become apparent. For those still traveling, it's not uncommon to see gas prices under $1 per gallon at stations across the US these days, though it's left those businesses hurting.
