Kemi Olunloyo laments as Tonto Dikeh plans arrest after acquiring journalist’s home address –Such an obsession

Posted: 23 May 2022 04:30 AM PDT

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, laments the obsession of Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, amidst threats to have the journalist arrested.

This comes following an interview granted to the thespian's ex-lover which escalated quickly to back and forth tantrums between the duo.

Tonto Dikeh had taken to Instagram to announce her arrival in Lagos with claims of having the home address of Kemi who accused her of drug use.

In response, Kemi Olunloyo, penned a thread on Twitter where she questioned the mother of one's obsession with her.


"Ms Tonto Dikeh
The obsession she has for me is typical of an active drug user. I have invited her to join the war on drugs via education instead of begging the
@ndlea_nigeria
to test her and make her an ambassador. Tonto start building yourself and stop erratic behavior.

My close freelance investigative colleague Hamid
@gulf_news
who told me Hushpuppi was taken to 🇺🇸 by the FBI just briefed me that Tonto was arrested in Dubai 2020 for possession of drug paraphernalia and drugs. Her visa was later cancelled and she was sent back to Nigeria.

Tonto Dikeh's friends also told me that she can never pass a drug test. I want her to build herself away from drugs and get solid treatment. Her fans are messaging me to report her threats. Why she's threatening me is beyond me. Hamid says she can never set foot in Dubai again

#MentalHealthMatters goal is not to stigmatize an addict but to help them. An addict must be willing to get off and stay off drugs. I hope Tonto will not be admitted forcefully into a hospital while she's in Lagos. Journalist Hamid said she fought 🇦🇪security men who busted her😳

Wishing Tonto Dikeh well. Rehabilitation works. This is the type of crack pipe she dropped at a business acquaintance's office similar to the one
@DubaiPoliceHQ
locked her up for. Her behavior is extremely erratic.

Tonto Dikeh really needs HELP.
This is psychosis manifesting," Kemi wrote.

Posted: 23 May 2022 02:00 AM PDT

Angel, former Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, has spoken up about her brief stint at the University of Lagos.

The BBNaija star revealed that she was only at the institution for two weeks before leaving due to a sxxual assault encounter.

Angel made this disclosure in an interview with Taymesan on Friday, May 20.

She said:

"I was in UNILAG for only two weeks. I struggled so much for those two weeks because when I got into UNILAG was my first sxxual assault experience.

After that experience happened, I can remember just moving through it and pretending like it never happened.

It affected my school life so much. I always blamed it on not knowing what to do in UNILAG when actually, I've always been fully aware of what I wanted to do."

Angel revealed that she had lived with her grandmother, and although she wanted to be a gynecologist she had done away with the idea and began excelling in English to the point when she won multiple Spelling Bees and improved her writing ability.

In her words:

"I knew what I wanted to do but I didn't just do that because I had experienced something so traumatic and I didn't speak to anybody about it, especially not my granny because I had so much shame

Nobody knew I was out of school until my mum had asked and I was like, 'let me finally be out with it'.

"When I told her that and she asked me why, I obviously did not tell her what happened. I just told her I didn't think I was doing the right course.

"Then she enrolled me in a foundational programme in the UK, which I dropped out from too."

According to Angel, she had quit school because at that point in her life she didn't really what she had wanted.
