Nollywood Star Tonia Okoro Ferrari Distances Herself from Alleged London S3x Tape Saga

 

 

America based Nollywood actress, Tonia Okoro, popularly known as Ferrari, has reacted strongly to a viral post by an unverified blog, Hallesblogafricaa, which falsely used her picture in a trending report about a 55-year-old London-based Nigerian businesswoman, Omoge Saida, CEO of Jamond Jewelry (also known as Aralamo Amonu).

The controversial post, published on Instagram, alleged that the businesswoman’s s3x tape had surfaced online. However, in a major blunder, the amateur news platform mistakenly used Tonia Okoro’s picture to illustrate the story, causing confusion among fans and followers who believed the actress was the person in question.

Since the post went viral, the actress has reportedly been bombarded with messages from fans and industry colleagues seeking clarification. In her reaction, Tonia Okoro Ferrari expressed deep displeasure over the incident, describing it as “irresponsible journalism and a deliberate attempt to tarnish her image.”

“I woke up to several calls and messages from people asking me about something I know nothing about. I have no idea who this Omoge Saida is, and I am definitely not the woman in that story,” she said.

The actress, who is in her late 30s, further stated that she has no connection whatsoever with the London-based businesswoman mentioned in the viral report. She also vowed to take legal action against the blog for defamation of character and the unauthorized use of her image.

“This is pure defamation. I will not allow anyone or any platform to drag my name into such a disgusting story. My legal team is already looking into the matter, and appropriate action will be taken,” she added.

The incident has sparked conversations online about the dangers of fake news and misinformation, especially on social media platforms where unverified blogs often publish sensational content without proper verification.

Meanwhile, fans and colleagues have rallied around the actress, urging her to stay strong and clear her name publicly as she pursues justice.

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO: The Reluctant Hero Who Saved a Nation

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO: The Reluctant Hero Who Saved a Nation

By Reno Omokri

In the chronicles of Nigeria’s complex history, few names echo with the same mixture of admiration, controversy, and enduring relevance as that of Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo.
Across six decades of our nation’s story, his name keeps reappearing — as a soldier, a statesman, a reformer, and, above all, a patriot whose decisions, for better or worse, helped shape the destiny of Africa’s most populous nation.
OLUSEGUN OBASANJO: The Reluctant Hero Who Saved a Nation

By Reno Omokri
Many may argue, but facts are stubborn.
Three times in history, Presidents of the United States have visited Nigeria: Jimmy Carter in 1978, Bill Clinton in 2000, and George W. Bush in 2003. Each time, Nigeria was led by one man — Olusegun Obasanjo. That, by itself, tells a story.
The Soldier Who Ended a War
On Thursday, January 15, 1970, it was General Obasanjo who commanded the troops that received the surrender of the rebel Republic of Biafra. He not only defeated the rebellion but did what few expected — he captured the Biafran leaders and brought them to Lagos to declare unconditional surrender.
It was a decisive moment in world history. Recently declassified records show that British Prime Minister Harold Wilson had already concluded that if Nigeria failed to end the war by 1970, Britain would intervene with a two-state solution. In other words, Obasanjo’s success prevented the permanent division of Nigeria. He saved the nation.
 The First Natural Transition
After the war, Nigeria entered an era where leadership became a revolving door of coups and assassinations. Balewa was killed. Ironsi was murdered. Gowon was overthrown. Murtala was assassinated.
Then came Obasanjo.
He became the first Nigerian leader to have a natural term and the first military ruler in Africa to voluntarily hand over power to civilians. Despite opposition from within the military ranks — as General Ibrahim Babangida confirmed in A Journey in Service — Obasanjo kept his word and handed power to Shehu Shagari in 1979.
Until he returned twenty years later, no Nigerian leader after him completed a natural tenure. Shagari was overthrown, Buhari was toppled, Babangida was forced to step aside, Shonekan was shoved aside, Abacha died mysteriously, and Abdulsalami’s reign lasted less than a year.
Obasanjo’s act of faith in democracy remains unmatched.
The Statesman Africa Needed
His influence went beyond Nigeria’s borders. He helped end the Liberian Civil War, restored the democratically elected Fradique de Menezes to power in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, supported the South African liberation struggle, aided FRELIMO in Mozambique’s war of independence, and ensured that the MPLA emerged as Angola’s legitimate government rather than the Western-backed UNITA.
At home, he paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt, made GSM telephony and the Internet accessible to ordinary citizens for the first time, established the EFCC to wage the nation’s first systematic anti-corruption war, and tactfully managed the Sharia crisis that could have torn Nigeria apart.
Under his watch, Nigeria hosted its only Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, nationalised African Petroleum, and implemented the long-dormant Indigenisation Decree.
The Self-Documented Leader
Obasanjo is also Nigeria’s most self-documented leader — the author of at least eleven books, chronicling his journey through war, politics, faith, and national reconstruction.
Mandela may have liberated South Africa, but Obasanjo, in truth, helped stabilise Africa.
 Honour While He Lives
As a nation, we have a sad tradition: we wait for our heroes to die before we honour them.
But not today.
Today, I choose to celebrate a man who, with all his imperfections, gave everything he had to Nigeria and to Africa. A man who has outlived coups, criticisms, and countless political storms — yet remains unbowed, unbroken, and unrelenting in his service to the Black race.
Even if no one says “thank you,” my household and I do.
Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Ogunboye Aremu Obasanjo — an Omoluabi atata, a true son of Africa, and a hero of history.
May God bless you and your household.

2027: Fear Grips Zamfara Gov Dauda Lawal, Plans to Meet President Tinubu Amid Concerns Over Re-election Bid and Governance Failures

*2027: Fear Grips Zamfara Gov Dauda Lawal, Plans to Meet President Tinubu Amid Concerns Over Re-election Bid and Governance Failures

 

Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State is reportedly preparing to meet with President Bola Tinubu today, fearing the loss of his re-election bid due to a mass defection of key Peoples Democratic Party members.

On Tuesday, he lost another PDP state House of Assembly member, Hon. Maharazu Salisu (representing Maradun II, also known locally as Hon. Faru), to the All Progressives Congress.

This follows a similar defection just one week ago, when another PDP candidate – on whom Lawal had reportedly spent over ₦4 billion during a by-election – also switched to the APC, citing poor governance and growing dissatisfaction among the masses with Lawal’s leadership.

The governor now faces a hostile state assembly, where the APC already controls 13 out of 24 seats.

Sources say seven more PDP members are poised to defect, which would leave Lawal with only four loyalists – potentially paving the way for impeachment.

In a tense meeting with lawmakers on Monday, Lawal reportedly admitted his fears of losing power, claiming that even if defeated in 2027, he has “international options.”

He allegedly revealed ownership of properties in London, Dubai, the US, and Germany, suggesting he could relocate abroad if ousted.

Adding to his isolation, the Northern APC Stakeholders Forum has firmly rejected any possibility of welcoming Lawal into the party.

Forum chairman Alhaji Adamu Musa stated: “We will accept any governor who serves the people, but Dauda Lawal’s record is one of abject failure.

“His entry would spell doom for the APC, triggering a mass exodus. Insecurity is rampant, infrastructure is decaying, and public trust is shattered – we cannot associate with such woeful performance.”

Musa described Lawal’s governance as “a deliberate erosion of progress,” leaving Zamfara “economically stagnant, socially divided, and politically stifled.”

Hon. Maharazu Salisu announced his move at the APC State Secretariat in Gusau, blaming “pressure from constituents” over the PDP’s failure to deliver on campaign promises.

“My people summoned me and said the ruling PDP has neglected us,” he said.

“Despite my efforts, my constituency has seen no projects or appointments.”

Salisu brought with him PDP leaders from five wards – Faru/Magami, Gidan Goga, Kaya, Tsibiri, and Gora – plus another in Maradun town.

APC State Chairman Hon. Tukur Danfulani Maikatako welcomed them, declaring: “In the next few weeks, Zamfara will be entirely APC.”

He praised APC leaders like Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar and Minister Bello Mohammed Matawalle for their empowerment programs, saying: “We assure all defectors they will be treated equally and given every opportunity to contribute to the party’s growth.”

CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO THE NEW CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF, (COAS, Nigerian Army) MAJOR GENERAL WAIDI SHAIBU BY COMRADE OLADIMEJI ODEYEMI.

 

On behalf of my family, friends, and associates, I heartily congratulate a gallant and senior officer of the Nigerian Army, Major General Waidi Shaibu on his well-deserved appointment as the 29th Chief of Army Staff of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

Your appointment is not only a recognition of your sterling professional record, but also a well-earned reward for decades of discipline, dedication, and excellence in service to our great nation. From your days as a young officer of the 41st Regular Combatant Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy to your recent command as the Theatre Commander of the Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), your journey has been defined by brilliance, courage, and an unshakable commitment to national security.

Your vast academic laurels, from multiple master’s degrees to advanced strategic training reflect your intellectual depth and preparedness for this historic role. The Nigerian Army — and indeed the entire Armed Forces — can only look forward to a new era of precision, professionalism, and innovation under your visionary leadership.

On a personal note, I am proud to celebrate this moment with you — not just as an admirer, and a partner to the Nigerian Army, but as a witness to your lifelong passion for excellence, integrity, and patriotism, though from afar. Your humility, calm disposition, and people-centered leadership have always stood you out as a man destined for greatness.

I have no doubt that under your command, the Nigerian Army will be reinvigorated in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, delivering enhanced operational projection, deeper intelligence integration, and stronger national defence outcomes.

My dear General, I wish you a most successful and impactful tenure — one that will further etch your name in gold in the annals of Nigeria’s military history.

Congratulations once again, Major General Waidi Shaibu.

Signed:
Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi.
