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.
