Zeena Zara wrote;

"When you were calling for this deal we considered as we believed you would add value ,little did we know it was going to be the other way round ! …

After paying , right on the first day of set , everyone stressed to work with you , we still persuaded them so we could work something out ,you looked down on everyone on set including the photographer , yet we overlooked and still waited with you till your Uber arrived so as not to leave just you on site …..the brand has worked with a lot of people with no issues , ,

we can't cope with your attitude because you don't even know what it takes to be a brand ambassador, and all this should have been well explained to you before putting pen to paper 📝… you are out of the big brother house yet you act like everyone on set is one of the housemates

Your manager has said you have been gathering the money and paid a part , you still owe the brand a lot of money !
More details coming soon
kindly pay up 🙏"

Jeff Bezos stepped down as the chief executive of Amazon

Posted: 08 Jul 2021 12:00 AM PDT

Jeff Bezos has stepped down as the chief executive of Amazon 27 years after he founded the company. 

The American billionaire, 57, Amazon's biggest shareholder with a stake worth about $180 billion, is being replaced by Andy Jassy, the mastermind behind Amazon's cloud computing division.

Earlier this year, Mr. Bezos announced his decision to step down in order to be able to focus on initiatives such as his plans for private space travel.

Making his announcement, Mr. Bezos said he wanted to "focus [his] energies and attention on new products and early initiatives" in his new role of executive chair.

"This journey began some 27 years ago. Amazon was only an idea, and it had no name. The question I was asked most frequently at that time was, 'What's the internet?' Blessedly, I haven't had to explain that in a long while," he wrote in a letter to Amazon employees earlier this year.

"Today, we employ 1.3 million talented, dedicated people, serve hundreds of millions of customers and businesses, and are widely recognised as one of the most successful companies in the world."

Mr Bezos said he would "stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives" but also concentrate on projects away from the day-to-day running of the business in his new position.

He said the move would give him the "time and energy" needed to "focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post" and his "other passions".

Mr Bezos said that he had "full confidence" in his replacement, Mr. Jassy.

"Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have. He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence," he said.

The change in management happened on Monday, exactly 27 years after Mr. Bezos founded the company as an internet bookseller.

Actress Sonia Ogiri Blasts Man Who Mocked Her For Buying 3 Cars In 7 Months

Posted: 07 Jul 2021 10:30 PM PDT

Sonia Ogiri has slammed a man who criticized him after she acquired her third Range Rover in seven months, claiming that he has been dreaming about her movies.

For the third time in less than seven months, a man who doubts that Sonia Ogiri has been appearing in movies that may allow her to afford a Range Rover mocked her, calling her a huge lady and claiming that he has been viewing her movies in his nightmares.
 
Sonia Ogiri chastised him, telling him to find anything more productive to do than spew this nonsense about her success being dependent on a guy when, in reality, she has been working so hard for herself.

Sonia Ogiri claims she hasn't been in Nigeria in 5 years and is happy about it because her success would have been attributed to a man neglecting her hard work, just as this troll was attempting to do with his comment.

Sonia Ogiri then suggested that before commenting on a post or even sharing an opinion, one should check their facts and not just say anything comes to mind or try to smear someone's reputation without knowing the truth.

Burna Boy has stated authoritatively that South African rapper, Nasty C is better than almost all mainstream American rappers and has vowed to put any money on his head for a bet.

The Grammy and BET award winner made this bold declaration in an interview after he was asked his opinion on Americans tagging all brands of African music as Afrobeat.

Burna Boy in his reply said Nasty C is a rapper, therefore his music should be classified as 'Rap' and not 'Afrobeat', and shouldn't be seen only as an Afrobeat musician, just because he's from Africa.

He remarked; "Yeah, everything is not Afrobeats. Nasty C is a rapper. And because he's from Africa now, you're going to say Afrobeats? Nah, he's a rapper. Brah, I'll put my money on Nasty C over almost any American rapper."

Nigerian Rapper, Vector remembers late father in heart-touching post

Posted: 07 Jul 2021 03:30 AM PDT

Nigerian rapper, Vector remembered his late father, Mr Ogunmefun in an Instagram post.

Taking to the photo and video sharing platform, the rapper shared a photo of himself in a white garment.

He accompanied the photo with an adorable story about his father. He wrote;

I had a court case at a time, I lost everything I had (and I hate asking for help from anyone… even my own parents 🤦🏾‍♂️).
My Dad walked into the court room on the day set for hearing and my lawyer in that case lost his shit. "That's the man I was telling you about all these years" he said to his partner next to him.

His friend was killed in a failed brake accident in ibadan (I think) and when they got there, they were going to shake the driver with all their might and connections but my dad welcomed them in his office and asked if he could read them some Bible passages before they commenced discussions.
They left the office letting go.
He didn't see my dad anymore till the day i had a court case he represented me in and my dad walked in.

I learnt about resting in peace from the life my dad lived. To say " rest in peace " is a lie if the person who died didn't leave good memories of him/herself.

If you wonder where my Confidence comes from, it is in knowing the son of whom I am.

you have seen me smile many days, see me cry… Today is different.

BBNaija Host, Ebuka Speaks On Erica’s Disqualification

Posted: 07 Jul 2021 02:30 AM PDT

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the host of Big Brother Naija, has spoken out on why some aspects of the reality TV show were edited and his feelings towards disqualified housemate Erica Nlewedim.

According to Ebuka, according to National Broadcasting Company regulations, some sequences must be suppressed.
 
During an interview with BeatFM, the TV host made this statement in response to assertions made by fans that BBNaija only shows viewers what the organization wants them to see.

He also shot down rumors that he harbored a grudge against Erica.

He said, "I like Erica; I really like Erica, which is also funny because people thought that I hated her. She gave us good content; she and Kiddwaya.

"First things first, we live in a country that has regulations. We all know about the NBC; there are certain things we can never show whether we like it or not. I always say that the show would be a different show if it was not a Nigerian show or if it was not in Nigeria because of the kind of things that we cannot show. Those things are not in our call; it is just legal issues.
"Secondly, this talk about what we showed about Kiddwaya and Erica; we actually did not show anything about them if anybody remembers. Nothing was shown about them. We did not show anything. In fact, it was even Ka3na and Praise that people saw under the sheets.

Adedimeji Lateef's alleged babymama, Oyin Elebuibon breaks silence
"A lot of these things happened under the sheets; so, we do not know what is happening. We are not going to send a ninja to remove the sheet so that we can get a good shot.

"People say we showed some things that made Erica and Kiddwaya look bad and I ask how? How did we make them look bad? Everything that has been revealed on the reunion show is actually on air. It just so happened that people decided to assume what they assumed."
