Popular Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has said that there are men in the Nigerian music industry who ask for sex from female artistes before giving them any form of assistance.
The mother of one says she had such experience in the early days of her career, explaining how she overcame it. She added that most female artistes go through series of sexual harassment from their male counterparts.

Speaking at the Youth Enterprise Conference 2016, which recently held at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the singer recounted her experience.


She said, “Ladies face a lot in the industry. These men cannot but ask for sex from us.

“A lot of times they said that they wanted to help me but actually they wanted me to do ‘something’ with them. Luckily I had a crazy boyfriend who ended up being my husband. He just shot them down.

“If you are really talented and good at what you do and you have God behind you, don’t give in to that kind of temptation. I guarantee you that your talent will make a way for you.

“The same people will be the ones calling and you will even get more than you ever imagined if you don’t give in,” she added.

Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade has debunked allegation that she was a tax defaulter.
Following her ongoing #DontPushMe campaign on Twitter which she started over poor power supply in Lagos state, reports emerged that the actress does not pay tax and as such, had no right to call out the government on tax matters.

Recall that on her social media war (#DontPushMe campaign) with the Nigerian government, Omotola is known for addressing serious societal issues.
She had recently lashed out at the Lagos State Government, LASG, asking if they would refund all she had spent on buying herself security, fuel and maintaining her road after having paid her tax.

She had also described the state as insensitive.

Meanwhile, as reported by E24-7 Magazine on Monday, Omotola, ‘had never filed her personal income tax return papers.’

The allegations against the diva said “It is unfortunate she has become so vocal, criticizing the government but ignorant of her obligation as a citizen to pay tax.

“She is not tax compliant. She failed to know that it is from the tax that she and others pay that government will provide all the amenities and infrastructures she mentioned.

“She needs a lot of education,” the report had claimed.

However, reacting to this, the award winning actress in a chat with Pulse TV, said the claim that she was a tax defaulter was false.

She said, “That is not correct at all, we will send out a press release very soon.

“We are working with the government to find out who released that article,” the actress noted.

Popular sensational singer, Yemi Alade, has exposed her relationship status, urging rumour mongers criticizers who likes spreading false news about her, to ‘mind their businesses.’
The singer who had been linked with dating her manager, Taiye Aliyu, Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo and fellow music star, Phyno, noted that that her relationship was her most private part, hence she would remain quiet about it.

In a chat with Entertainment Magazine (e247mag), Yemi also revealed how she has managed to live a scandal-free life especially since she is constantly in the spotlight.

She said, “I don’t go out looking for trouble. I am pretty reserved and that has gone a long way for me, maybe that is why people say Yemi Alade is scandal free.”

When asked if she was in any relationship, she said, “Yes, I am in a relationship, but I prefer to keep it private, no too much talk about it.”

Yemi added that it was best for people, especially tale-bearers to keep to themselves.

“Besides, who I’m dating doesn’t put money in anyone’s account, so?” she quipped.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Jide Kosoko, says the movie industry could be a huge source of revenue if it was well funded, urging the Federal Government to continue to support the industry.
The ‘Secret Room’ actor in a recent chat with newsmen in Lagos described Nollywood as an industry with lots of potentials.

According to him, “The industry is capable of generating millions of naira in revenue if well-funded.

“The industry has lots of prospects and potential that can be used to boost revenue.

“The opportunities in the industry can fetch government huge revenues,” Kosoko noted, recalling the statement made by Carlos Lopez, the executive secretary of the UN’s Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), in January 2016, that ‘Nollywood will overtake India’s Bollywood in earnings and expand to become more African and less Nigerian.”

Last week a student from the Democratic Republic of Congo was beaten to death by a group of Indian men after an argument in Delhi. Two men have been arrested in connection with the killing of the Congolese man.
At least six separate incidents of attacks on Africa nationals were reported in India in May.

In Texas, a man who had reportedly died in his truck which had gotten submerged in torrential floods, had precious few minutes to share his terrifying final moments just before he died.


The victim, Darren Mitchell, 21, had become trapped in his truck during a brutal flood in the City of Texas, USA, and had taken to Facebook to share a photo of his final moments before he had drowned.

Mitchell shared the photo which shows the inside of the truck and the windows showing the vehicle fully submerged in water, along with the caption, "And all I wanted was to go home".

The victim's body had later been found more than a mile downstream from the place where his overturned truck had been discovered.

Mitchell was also one of four people who had reportedly been killed in the floods which struck the city on Thursday, May 26, 2016.


Family members of Mitchell, who is revealed to have been a National Guardsman, disclosed that he had called to tell them that he was trapped in the flood just before he shared the haunting post on Facebook.

Ro Mitchell revealed to local station, KHOU:

"He just said he was all right and he made it out of the truck."

An eye-witness, Lashandoe Smith, also reveals that Mitchell had been able to climb out onto the roof of his truck before it toppled into raging floods.

She said:

"He got out of his truck, he got in the bed of his truck, he got back out, on top of his truck, and then all of the sudden he got back in his truck.

"And like maybe 10, 15 minutes after he was in his truck, it just flipped and he topsided into the water."

May his soul rest in peace.
