Toyin Abraham sues revolution and real estate fraud.

Actress Toyin Abraham is suing over ownership of Revolution Plus and her lawyer has filed a formal statement confirming her termination from the brand.

A while back, Toyin Abraham took to his Instagram page to share legal documents and wrote:

PUBLIC DISCLAIMER

DISASSOCIATION FROM REVOLUTIONPLUS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

We are Solicitors to Mrs. Olutoyin Abosede Ajeyemi Abraham, (hereinafter referred to ‘our Client’) and on whose instruction we write the above-captioned letter.

Our Client wishes to disassociate herself from the brand, Revolutionplus (hereinafter referred to ‘the company). This disclaimer is premised on the fact that our client’s contract with the Company as a Brand Ambassador has been effectively terminated and the compelling need to disassociate herself from the image of the Brand.

Despite the above promises, I was still receiving various threats messages, curses, complaints and pleas from investors claiming they had not been allocated any land or refunded their monies. Some of them further claimed that because I represented the Company as a brand ambassador, I reposed their confidence in the
Company to invest their monies. I became sad, worried, and disturbed and decided to stop my social media publications and advertisement of the Company’s products.

When the pressure and harassment became embarrassingly unbearable both online on all my social media platforms and offline, and with my integrity at stake, I sent a mail to the Company on the 15th June 2022 notifying them of my intent to terminate my contract as a Brand Ambassador. The Company reached out to me on the 16th of June 2022, we had a meeting and they promised to promptly and effectively address the allegations. Upon the premise of the promises made, I sent another mail on the 17th June 2022 cancelling my notice of intent to terminate my contract as a brand ambassador.

In view of the above termination which I accept in good faith and totality, and considering the recent similar messages I have received from aggrieved customers from the brand, I hereby disassociate myself from the brand and advise that all persons dealing with the brand conduct their respective due diligence’.

It was in the wake of my decision to reduce the brand’s visibility and advertisement on my social media platforms, especially because my integrity as a person is being questioned daily, that I received a ‘Notice of Termination of Brand Ambassadorship’ letter on the 22nd December 2022 by the Company’s legal team, which effectively terminated my contract with them on grounds of reduced affection and reluctant approach towards publicly identifying with the brand.

While performing my duties as contained in the contract, I started receiving a lot of allegations and complaints from investors who claimed the Company has not allocated lands nor refunded them their monies. Some of these investors were in my DM (Direct Message) demanding for refund of their monies or allocation of the lands they paid for.

Please find below the official statement from our Client:

‘After carefully conducting my due diligence and being personally convinced about the genuineness of the Company, I proceeded to sign a contractual agreement in July 2020, thereby becoming a brand ambassador to market the property products of the Company, Revolutionplus. This duty I carried out with utmost loyalty, diligence, integrity and excellence, which are the core values I stand for.

How Wumi Toriola’s ex-husband morally tortured her and cheated on her” Actor Akeem Adeyemi

Nollywood actor Akeem Adeyemi went berserk when he defended co-star Wumi Toriola from her ex.

Wumi Toriola’s ex-husband revealed that his marriage was based on his new love. Speaking about his failed marriage, he said that their marriage was full of violence, deceit and betrayal by Wumi Toriola. Her estranged husband shared this with his new Igbo girlfriend, who chatted with Instagram blogger Gistlover.

The blogger claims that the woman contacted him when he broke the news about the couple’s separation. The woman admitted that she was dating wumi’s husband, who denied marriage. After confirming that her new husband is a former actress, she confronts him and he talks about his “strong marriage”.

Although the father of one did not go into details and said that his marriage to the actress was ugly and full of physical abuse and betrayal. He said he regretted his marriage and accused the actress of assaulting her mother.

Akeem Adeyemi defends against wumi Toriola.

Akeem Adeyemi talks about her and how wumi Toriola gave everything to get married and endure the pain of her husband. He explained that the actress is Marga in her marriage because she takes on the financial responsibilities at home, including marriage. According to Akeem, her ex-husband wanted to tarnish Wumi’s image as his mother still often called him Wumi.

He added that he was not only mentally torturing her, but having extramarital sex with her.

“Wumi Toriola is not a violent person. She gave her everything in this marriage but it didn’t work out as expected. She was a Maga in the marriage. Ayo, her ex-husband is very manipulative and he lies to his new woman just to tarnish Wumi’s image. The mother-in-law he claims still calls her Even today

Wumi funded 90% of the wedding. When her ex-husband was seriously ill and needed money for surgery. Wumi paid 80% of it. When he didn’t have a job, Womei would take care of the house’s finances without complaining, but this guy had extra marital affairs and gave her psychological torture. When she went to give birth to their child in America. Ayo never called her to check on her. How many women can accept this? “.

Why Fans Shouldn’t Look at Me – Actress Genoveva Umeh

Although she uses her flamboyant acting skills to captivate Nollywood audiences in popular films, up-and-coming actress Genoveva Umeh says she is no one’s role model as she doesn’t want to be guided by the desire to make decisions based on society’s expectations. Umeh, best known for the movie Blood Sisters and Zina from the Netflix series Far From Home, said in an exclusive chat with Midweek Entertainment that she made the decision because she doesn’t agree with people because of what she does. Or the decisions she makes. .

“My only problem is that I still want to be myself, I still want to do great work and don’t want to be tied to fame,” he said. Inspired by my work, I don’t consider myself a role model. I’m not a role model. It’s nice that you’re just a person who cares about your work and that people draw inspiration from it.

But I don’t want people to obsess over everything I do or blame me for certain decisions I make. I want to live freely, I want to be myself, and I also want to do good without the burden of human expectations.”

The actress said she chose acting because of her passion for the profession and added that she wants to pursue a law degree as a preliminary plan. She said, “My career is just getting started and I appreciate the variety of roles I have played on the big platform. Any role that I can change will certainly do. I like the challenge. playing the same role twice, I don’t like it, each character is a little different.

I chose acting because I was really interested. Like it can’t be shaken. In general, I realized that this is what makes me the happiest. I thought it was a hobby. I decided that I am very talented and very passionate about it. “I wanted to help with law studies because I am a first generation immigrant and I understand how hard my parents worked to get me to England. I don’t want to disappoint him with my selfishness.

Kpekus: No wonder your ex cheated on you. BBNaijas Khloe defeated Nedu.

BBNaija’s former roommate, Abiri Oluwabusayo, also known as Khloe, accused Nedu of sexism on Tuesday against her recent OAP (On-Air Personality) roommate BBNaija.

Vanguard previously reported in an interview with Big Brother roommate Naija Doyin that Nedu claimed that many women participated in the reality show BBNaija to sell “kpekus” (Nigerian slang for the female body).

In response to the accusation, khloe said in an Instagram comment on Angel’s page (another former roommate) that Nedu’s outburst excuses his ex-wife feigning paternity over an extramarital affair and encourages him to heal from trauma.

She said, “Angel put that short!!!” It’s not our fault that his wife gave him a bastard. Now I don’t blame wives for wanting kids for childish fucking worthless picky men… now all the women living the good life are turning around.

“They don’t even see the pain and the struggle and some people will support online bullshit and forget that they are women and want to succeed in life. It’s crazy thinking.” What every woman does to earn a living is that no one cares that she hasn’t kidnapped or killed anyone.

So he started to wallow in the hotel room, but this idiot couldn’t even put 1 and 1 together and saw that it was just made to talk. I know people like him, they lie for no reason!!! Prepare something on the spot. So you walk into a room and you stand there watching who and who beats your girlfriend and then you go out and say that? LAUGHING OUT LOUD.

“Gossip-loving and ignorant Na mumu people like you would be fools. Heal a broken heart and leave the woman alone. We are not asking you to marry a liar.
