Socialite, Ehizogie Ogbebor, has accused beauty entrepreneur and reality TV star, Diadem Adeola, of involving her in the ongoing dispute with Dabota Lawson.
A voice note of the accusation, allegedly from Ogbebor, was shared by Diadem on her Snapchat story amid the continuing feud involving the two women.
In the recording, Ogbebor challenged Diadem over comments allegedly made about her and questioned her connection with a man identified as Churchill.
Ogbebor also alleged that Diadem travelled to meet her for prostitution more than a decade ago, while denying claims that Churchill had any relationship with her.
She further accused Diadem of previously staying in an Airbnb she rented with her boyfriend and questioned why her name was brought into the dispute.
“You’ve forgotten how you flew in to Uyo to meet me for prostitution 12/13 years ago. You’ve forgotten? Since you want to start, then let’s start talking,” Ogbebor said in the voice note.
She also dismissed an alleged claim that Churchill had rejected her, saying she had no relationship with the man.
“Me, Churchill rejected me? You’re a fool, Churchill no reach,” she said.
Ogbebor further accused Diadem of dragging her name into the dispute after allegedly making claims involving Churchill, while describing him as a man who mistreats women.
Afrobeats singer David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has expressed deep concern over bad governance, injustice, and the long-suffering of Nigerians.
Speaking in an episode of the I Wanna Talk podcast, Davido candidly revealed that he thought genuine change was coming to Nigeria during the EndSARS protests but Nigerians quickly reverted to their old ways.
He lamented that those who claim to fight for Nigerians often change whenever they get into power.
The singer stated that despite being from a privileged and influential background, he still fears losing his life.
Davido said Nigeria needs an urgent positive change.
“I was happy to see Nigerians protest during EndSARS. I thought change was coming, but December came and people were partying. Even me, who was initially optimistic about the movement got discouraged. I was like we can’t kill ourselves. We have kids and people we are living for.
“Once the government is bad, there would be hardship. I can’t even advise people who are going through economic hardship because I am not going through what they are going through, even though I have my own struggles, too. What I can say is, Nigeria, fix up. The country has to change from politicians to citizens, everything.
“We can’t change our society until we change our mindset as a people. Today, the same people that were protesting are campaigning for politicians. Those who claim to fight for the people often change when they get power,” he stated.
