Charly Boy Writes Emotional Open Letter to His Daughter to Apologize For His Actions after She Came Out as Lesbian

Charley Boy, aka Area Fada, has written an open letter to apologize to his daughter for the way he treated her after she came out as gay. Charly Boy had shared a post last week, saying he’s proud to have a lesbian daughter and he supports her completely. But his daughter, Dewy Oputa hit back, stating that her father doesn’t pick her calls and she was rendered homeless after she publicized her sexuality. She accused her dad of using her to chase clout as father of the year online, while caring nothing about her in real life

Charly Boy has now responded. He said he was amused by his daughter’s public condemnation because it’s the same way he and his father – former Supreme Court justice Chukwudifu Oputa – butted heads before he was able to be independent. “Lion no fit born goat,
” he added. He asked Dewy to forgive him and promised to allow her tell her story and to respect her perspectives.

He wrote:

"My Dear Dewy, I know the last few days may have been tough for you flowing from my Friday post “For Parents Only” on my Instagram. I apologize if my post rubbed you the wrong way, for this I am deeply sorry, my bad. Forgive me. But Honestly, I was talking to parents trying to get them to understand that they-can only give good advice or put their children on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands. I came into parenting the way most of us did — knowing nothing but trying to learn everything, becos, who no go no fit know. The journey of parenthood is an emotional roller-coaster, filled with happiness, sadness, worries, frustration, pride, excitement and much more. Parenting is an amazing adventure. When people dey yab me say you dey tackle me for social media, I just dey laff. I dey laff bcos Na so I tackle my papa before I collect my independence. Lion no fit born goat. Never forget that the Oputa’s are very special people, and in you I see me. Since Saturday morning I have received thousands of phone calls from parents and young people who feel disconnected with their parents. Their testimony has been quite insightful. I was only able to offer a listening ear and soothing words, but I feel taller because our story inspired thousands. That’s a good thing. My darling, I promise to allow you tell your story like I have been able to tell mine. I respect your perspectives and I understand. I brought you all up as Global Kids and not as timid village champions. Let’s just go back to the friendship we have been working on. I love you and no one can contest, not even you. My Charly Girl Princess Dewy Daddy’s Totori".

ASUU Dismisses Rumour Claiming it Has Called off Its Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reacted to rumours on social media that claimed the union has called off its eight months old strike.

The University of Calabar (UniCal) chapter of ASUU on Thursday, November 19, described the rumour as Fake news, Daily Trust reported.

Dr John Edor, the chairman of the chapter said the union never made any announcement about calling off the strike on social media.

He said:

“As I talk to you now, ASUU does not have a Twitter account, so I wonder where that statement came from. As far as I am concerned, it is fake news.”

The chairman, however, said that a meeting between ASUU and the federal government on the lingering strike may hold on Friday, November 20.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has said ASUU has not called off its strike because some issues raised by the union have not been attended to.

Wabba made the disclosure when he spoke with journalists after presenting NLC’s position on six executive bills before the Senate committee on aviation, Daily Trust reported.

He said public universities would resume if the issues raised by the academic union are resolved.

Guinness Nigeria Unveils Prince Nelson Enwerem of BBN 2020 as Brand Ambassador (Photos)

Guinness on Thursday, November 19, unveiled Nelson Enwerem of BBN 2020 fame (aka ‘Prince’) as the first-ever Nigerian Brand Ambassador.

Landing the announcement with a bold, intense, audacious, and engaging short film that speaks to the character of the brand and the new ambassador, Guinness announced Prince as its ‘Nwakaibeya’.

The short film, titled Nwakaibeya, showcases the rich and colourful heritage and character of the East, and takes Prince, like Guinness, to the heart of this pride of place, a place where both he and Guinness are held in the highest esteem.

The Entrepreneur, interior designer, fashion professional, and model, the 24-year-old scion of Umuebie, Ugirinna Isiala Mbano, embodies the bold, distinct and magical character of Guinness.

Son of HRH Eze Leo Mike Enwerem, Ebi 1, Prince won the Mr Nigeria Contest 2018 and was hailed as one of Nigeria’s best talents at Mister World 2019.

With a fan base and popular appeal that stretches from coast to coast, Prince emerged as possibly the brightest export and certainly the hottest celebrity demand of recently concluded BBN Lockdown Season 2020.

Speaking to the nature of the association, Adenike Adebola, Marketing & Innovation Director, Guinness Nigeria, explained: “We are beyond excited to unveil Prince as our first ever sign-on as Guinness brand ambassador. Prince’s self-belief, passion and his unapologetic connect to his rich and powerful heritage embodies the character of Guinness.

“Prince expresses himself with confidence, lives his truth with boldness and inspires the next generation of leaders for his intellect, clarity and audacity.

“This association for us is as perfect an embodiment of the Guinness character as it gets.”

In response, Prince observed that, “I am uncharacteristically humbled. And that’s saying something. Truth is, I have always demanded more of myself. I never settle. I set a high bar with everything I do and work hard to attain my ambitions. I have no apologies for this.

Davido speaks on “A Better Time”, His Vision & Legacy as He covers Guardian Life Magazine

After dominating airwaves and with his 2011 smashing hit “Dami Duro” and staying on top of his game for about a decade now, CEO DMW and Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has indeed become a global household name.

Davido chats with Guardian Life about his new album “A Better Time“, challenges, his thoughts, legacies and more as he covers the magazine’s latest issue.

“In life, change happens and you have to take risks, for me I’ve always just been about family and that is what it was for HKN, I co-owned it with my brother who was the chairman at the time and I signed my cousins so it was really a family thing. After a while, everyone wanted to do their own thing, and I wanted to work with other people as well, then I met Mayorkun and it was from meeting him that I decided to start my own label and see how I can groom new artistes.” Says the singer

Read excerpts from the interview

On the vision

At first, I just wanted to watch myself on tv even if it was just once, I dropped my first song and I went to school for like two weeks [I wasn’t even in Lagos]. It was my friends that were calling me that my song don dey blow.

I didn’t want to go to school, I wanted to be alright enough to be just okay but over time, I wanted more and more because it [fame and success] was just growing and getting bigger. As you grow you want more, as you get there you want more because one day you feel you’re there and you wake up two days later and it feels like you haven’t achieved anything.

In life, change happens and you have to take risks, for me I’ve always just been about family and that is what it was for HKN, I co-owned it with my brother who was the chairman at the time and I signed my cousins so it was really a family thing. After a while, everyone wanted to do their own thing, and I wanted to work with other people as well, then I met Mayorkun and it was from meeting him that I decided to start my own label and see how I can groom new artistes.

I tried it [signing a new artiste] for the first time and it worked out amazing. From there, Dremo came and then other artistes came, Peruzzi, then the producers. We just became one big family and it worked out for us.

On the challenges

I think that [impostor syndrome] is the worst thing that happens to artistes, feeling like you have to prove something even after you reach a certain point that many people are still trying to achieve a quarter of what you’ve done and you’re still trying to prove something. But I feel like that’s also the challenge you need to keep going and sustain because if I always felt like cos I’m Davido everything I record will enter, I’d fall but I don’t record like that, I record like it’s my first song every time.

On the music

My last album A Good Time was made up of songs that I actually recorded overtime but because I was touring, doing shows for like straight 8 years on the go so the album was a compilation of all the songs that had already dropped and I added a couple of new songs and dropped it due to my obligation with my label.

During A Good Time, I was in America most of the time talking to my producers over email and WhatsApp, but for A Better Time I was in Nigeria, it was during the pandemic [COVID-19] I was on tour in America before but when it hit I had to cancel the whole tour and move back to Naija. There was nothing we could do [no clubs, no shows] so we stayed home and made music. For this new album, we call it a masterpiece because we really took our time with it.

I honestly just have grace. I’ve recorded that song [Fem] since May and I dropped it in September like who would’ve known?! I was even somewhere, and they came to meet me and say I went to make a song for them [politicians] so I had to explain that the song has actually been out since September but it relates to what was happening.

On his thoughts and legacy

I would want to be remembered for a lot, not just music to be honest. That I served for humanity, I served the people and a lot of

Nollywood Actor Frederick Leonard Reveals Why He is Still Single at Age 44

 Talented Nollywood actor, Federick Leonard is no doubt one of the filmstars who have got many female fans crushing over them.

Not only does he have the looks, but his effortless delivery in movies also leaves many people in awe.

According to the actor who pointed out that he believes in the institution of marriage, being with someone who he is compatible with is what he wants.

He added that people should be more realistic with themselves when searching for a partner.

“I have not lost hope in marriage. It is just the time we live in. I believe in marriage and even the Bible says that it is not good for man to be alone. I do not want to end up alone. I do not want to end up miserable. I want to be with someone who I have a lot of things in common with; someone I’m compatible with. I believe in the institution of marriage, and I think that people should be more realistic with themselves when it comes to picking a partner.”

According to him, it is only normal for people to have such misconceptions considering he is an entertainer at the top of his game.

” I’m quite interactive on my social media handles and the reason I do that is because I want them to begin to understand the Frederick behind the fame. The man behind all the characters that I play is a very soft-hearted, playful young man. He is a people person. I get them to meet the real me than the assumed Frederick Leonard.

I Don't Think There is Anything Wrong With Social Media Bill – Ali Ndume Says

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, Ali Ndume, has said he sees nothing wrong with the proposed Social Media Bill.

Mr Mohammed Sani Musa proposed the Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulations Bill. He says its aim is to curb the spread of false news.

The bill has passed its second reading at the Senate but Nigerians have expressed outrage, stating that it is aimed at gagging the press and infringing on the expression rights of individuals.

Senator Ndume however disagrees with this view, he said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics that he feels “there is nothing wrong in having social media bill”.

Ndume who stated clearly that he is not saying freedom of speech should be muzzled, noted, however, that people should be held responsible for what they say or do.

The lawmaker was of the opinion that there should be a kind of law that controls or guides the way prople express themselves on social media. He added that “anything in this world that has no control can be disastrous”.

Peru’s Interim President Manuel Merino Resigns Following The Death of Two Protesters

Peru’s interim president, Manuel Merino has resigned less than a week into his new administration after protests calling for his removal left two dead and dozens injured.

In a short televised address on Sunday November 15, Manuel Merino said he’d acted within the law when he was sworn into office as chief of state on Tuesday, despite protesters’ allegations that Congress had staged a parliamentary coup after his predecessor, Martin Vizcarra was removed over bribery allegations, which he denies.

“I want to let the whole country know that I’m resigning,” Merino said, a day after a police crackdown on protesters in Peru left at least two people dead.

“I, like everyone, want what’s best for our country,” he added.

The decision came after a night of unrest in which dozens of protesters took to the streets to protest against Merino following the removal of his predecessor, Martin Vizcarra, who was impeached on Monday, November 9.

During the protest, many were injured from blunt force, tear gas, or projectiles that rights groups say came predominantly from police using excessive force to quell the protests.

The largest march in Lima attracted thousands of people, with police using tear gas fired from helicopters to disperse protesters who were threatening to march towards the Congress building.

Human rights groups reported that 112 people had been hurt and the whereabouts of 41 others were unknown. Health authorities said the dead included Jack Pintado, 22, who was shot 11 times, including in the head, and Jordan Sotelo, 24, who was hit four times in the thorax near his heart.
