As the economic crisis in Nigeria worsens, a popular actress, Toyin Abraham, has come under fire from frustrated Nigerians, who have been lambasting her for campaigning vigorously for President Bola Tinubu in the lead up to the 2023 elections.

Whenever the actress makes any post on social media, it is usually greeted with criticism and insults by her fans and followers.

Some netizens even went as far as posting flyers that read, ‘Rest in peace’ about the actress.”

Apparently overwhelmed by the negative reactions, Abraham stated that she was aware of the pain felt by the people. She wrote, “Unexplainable, but God will see us all through. It is people’s pain that is getting to me.”

In a similar vein, the actress blamed political opposition for the bad reviews on one of her movies titled, ‘Ijakumo, the Born-Again Stripper’.

At the time, she had said, “You all went to create a WhatsApp group because of ‘Ijakumo, the Born-Again Stripper’; please continue. You all will tell the world why choosing my own candidate is a crime, and yours isn’t.”

She later apologized for her outburst, and asked critics to share their opinions about the movie ‘with love’.

However, the strident criticisms have not abated.

Replying to one of her recent Instagram posts, one Nkem Diana wrote, “Asiwaju Baby. God will visit and judge you. You have not started crying.”

Pablo Floky said, “How far those things you said Baba disclosed to you, is it not time to execute them? Or is it when hunger kills all of us?”

Another Instagram, Eth, wrote, “You misled Nigerians to vote your ‘mumu’ party.”

Meanwhile, a follower, Ojays, was of the opinion that the followers were being unfair to the actress. He wrote, “All those bashing Toyin, please did she force anyone to vote for her choice? Did she point gun at you at the polling booth that you should vote for her candidate by force? Is she the only one who supported Tinubu, or you all just derive pleasure in coming for her. Please, let her breathe. Plus, how sure are you that your own candidate would have performed any better?”

Meanwhile, the actress had also stated that she was partnering with a brand— Smallyfares— to organise a weekly food bank event in Ikeja, Lagos State.

Bobrisky Complained of Chest Pain, hospitalised

Published

Controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, was transported to the Police Hospital in Falomo, Lagos, on Wednesday after reporting discomfort in his chest area, commonly referred to as ‘breasts.’ This incident followed his detention at the Alagbon Police Station in Lagos State.

According to a police insider, Bobrisky was taken to the hospital around 2 p.m. due to his complaints of pain. “Bobrisky claimed his ‘breasts’ were hurting him, which led us to take him to the hospital,” the source explained.

Reports suggest that the ambulance transfer may have been conducted as a precautionary measure, coinciding with a visit from the Commissioner of Police overseeing the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Lagos. The source noted that the ambulance was requested with the intention of minimizing public attention, as the CP was planning to transfer Bobrisky to the SFU command.

The source revealed, “They sent for a police ambulance with the number plate LLD339LP to discreetly move him.”

Prior to his hospital transfer, Bobrisky was kept in isolation from other detainees, under the watchful eye of two armed officers. “He was kept separate from the others and guarded by two armed guards until he was taken to the hospital,” the police insider stated.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Bobrisky was escorted by a nurse and a well-armed officer. “A female nurse and a police officer accompanied Bobrisky, who was placed on a stretcher,” the source added.

Earlier in the week, Bobrisky was apprehended by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and subsequently detained at the Nigeria Police Force’s Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon. The circumstances surrounding his arrest and hospitalization continue to draw public attention, given his popularity and controversial persona.
