0

The cold war between actresses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham appears unchanged as the latter ignored the former’s birthday on Wednesday.

Many colleagues and industry stakeholders on Tuesday celebrated Akindele, who clocked 45.

But Toyin Abrahim, who has been on good terms with the Omo Ghetto actress didn’t send any felicitations, fuelling insinuations all was still not well between them.

In a recent interview, Abraham noted that Akindele is one of the few people in the movie industry that she looks up to and respects a lot.

She even went as far as stating how she kneels down to greet her whenever she sees Funke Akindele in public as a sign of respect.

Toyin Abraham snubbed Akindele’s birthday but sent birthday wishes to actress Lola OJ who was a year on the same day.

Happy birthday my darling sis @lolaoj God bless your new age sis,” Abraham wrote in a captioned of a photo of Lola OJ she posted on her verified Instagram page.

This move also got fans talking, wondering why she refused to wish Funke Akindele a happy birthday too.

The letter reads: β€œYou may wish to recall that the Joint Union Congress of the Police Service Commission had embarked on a 3-day warning strike on Monday 24 January, 2022, which was suspended in national interest in order to embrace dialogue and reconciliation.

β€œAs a responsible union, we make bold to state that all the conditions necessary for continuous working harmony have been breached by the management, hence our resort to continue with our agitation until our earlier agreements are fully implemented.

Following from the above therefore, the union and the entire staff do hereby serve a notice of indefinite strike to the Management, beginning on Monday, 29 August 2022.”

Joshua loss to Usyk

0

A tearful Anthony Joshua rued his second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk after the supremely talented Ukrainian fought back to retain his world heavyweight titles in Saudi Arabia .

Joshua hurled two of Usyk’s belts to the canvas and stormed out of the ring in a fit of pique after letting slip a golden opportunity to hand the Ukrainian his first professional loss.

The 6ft 6ins (1.98m) Briton scented victory when he had Usyk hanging on in the ninth round, only for the mobile southpaw to come firing back and control the final stages for a split-decision win.

Joshua, 32, let fly a string of expletives – in front of the deeply conservative country’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – in an impassioned post-match speech.

β€œI just spoke from my heart. It has been so tough. You see AJ holding it together. I’m a hustler, so I try to keep things together, try work hard. Make sure my team is good,” he said.

It comes at a cost. It would never break me but it takes real strength and tonight there’s a little crack in the armour.”

While Joshua is left trying to rebuild his career after his third defeat, Usyk retains the IBF, WBA, and WBO titles and will now seek a unification showdown with WBC champion Tyson Fury.

I should have won,” lamented Joshua, who was too emotional to speak for part of his post-fight press conference.

β€œI adapted, I made the change that I needed to give him more of a competitor. It wasn’t enough but I left everything in the gym,” he added.

If I would have left everything in the ring I would have won.”

Usyk agreed with Joshua, saying: β€œThe reason why the belts are coming back to Ukraine is that Anthony Joshua didn’t use his size advantage to the end.”

Despite the defeat, promoter Eddie Hearn issued a fierce defense of Joshua, who has revitalised British boxing and was fighting his 12th successive heavyweight title clash.

β€œHe’s devastated by defeat because he wanted victory more than anything,” Hearn said.

β€œWe’re all extremely proud of him for giving us a great fight tonight against one of the best that’s ever laced up a pair of gloves.”
