Why do politicians cry though?

''I can swear with my life that no politician has ever gifted me money'' - Seyilaw reacts to controversy over his newly acquired apartment

Knificent.blogspot.com

Comedian, Seyilaw has reacted to the post by Nigerian journalist, Oma Akutugba, where he called on the police to investigate Seyi's source of income following the recent testimony he shared online about his newly acquired house. Seyi in a post shared on his IG page with photos of his new apartment, said he had only N63, 000  prior to when he bought the apartment. Read here.

Akatugba then took to his twitter handle to say that the comedian's testimony is misleading and that in a saner clime, the police would have been investigating Seyi's claim of having such a meager sum in his account before acquiring such a tasteful apartment. Read here.

ReactIng to Akatugba's call, Seyilaw in an interview with Punch, said he welcomes the calls for an investigation

 ''I feel that it is good that Nigerians are asking questions. If someone asks the police to investigate me, I think it is a good thing but I think that there are people we should demand that from. We should demand more of that from our politicians. If someone demands that the police should investigate, it is not a bad thing. However, one thing people should know is that I am one of the very few entertainers that can swear on his life that no politician has gifted me money. Everything that I own today came from my sweat. One of the questions the journalist who called me out on social media should have asked is, ‘have I fully paid for the house?’ He did not ask me and that is part of his stupidity and where he made mistakes''he said

When asked how he was able to afford the apartment, the comedian said

“If I invested about N15m in my Lagos show and made about N20m, I do not think I have made too much profit. If I invested about N5m in my Ibadan show and made about N9m, I do not think I have made too much profit. It means that I made a profit of about N9m. I also did a show in Port-Harcourt and right now, I am planning another show in Lagos. When I said that I lost some money at the shows I did in the UK and Dublin, I did not mean that I lost everything I invested. The reason I said I was so broke that I had N63,000 in my account was because  I had paid for the hall I would use for my Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja and Port-Harcourt shows among other expenses and it ran into millions of naira. These were investments that cost me about N20m. If I invested N20m for my shows and had N63,000 in my account, does that mean that I do not have money? I spoke about my landed property in the post but no one referred to it.

I would not stop posting my testimonies on social media. I have been on a tour with PAL Pension, and my duty was to motivate students. The journalist that made that statement about my post is someone that knows me. He could have messaged me privately to explain how I was able to buy a house based on my testimony but he did not do that. That is the way a journalist is supposed to ask questions. I repeat it again and I swear on my blood and that of my mother’s that I have never been gifted money by any politician. I dare any politician to come out and say they have given me money. In fact, I have been the one that have helped most rich people I know because I could do a show for them and they would make me do another three for free. Am I not the one helping them? I have helped more people than they have helped me. I am not one of those celebrities that do good things in front of the camera''.

Yesterday, the EFCC announced the arrest of one Adeyemi Olufunmilade, a suspected serial fraudster who has allegedly swindled quite a number of Nigerians. 

Comedian, Seyilaw who has also fallen victim of Adeyemi's fraudulent acts, took to his twitter page to identify the suspect as the son of a pastor in the church he attended while growing up. Adeyemi is said to be the son of a senior pastor in the Christ Apostolic Church where he holds a National office. 

Seyilaw who saw the news of Adeyemi's arrest on EFCC's official twitter, wrote

''He is the son of a Pastor in the church, I attended growing up. He defrauded me too. @officialEFCC can I bring my case too? Thanks. His father once asked me, who is your father in this church because I begged for N1000 to complete my Jamb form fee and his son defrauded year later''.

SARS official dismissed over N5,000 extortion while three other accomplices had their ranks reduced (Photos)

Inspector Charles Omotosho, an operative of the Federal Special Anti-Robery Squad (FSARS), who extorted N5,000 from some road users in Ikorodu area of Lagos State, has been dismissed.

A Twitter user, Princess Ife, on May 16, claimed that Omotosho threatened to shoot at them except they paid a 'ransom' of N5000.

She tweeted: “With my encounter today, it is safe to say SARS are armed robbers. Was going for a shoot in Ikorodu today and armed member of SARS pulled us over and made us pay for no reason. Threatening they were going to waste our lives. I made a transfer so that they can be traced."

The Public Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) of the Police Force, while responding to the allegation, promised to investigate the issue and make findings of the investigation public. Almost three months after the incident, PCRRU announced the dismissal of Omotosho, following the police’s investigations.

Bishop Charles Ellis apologies for groping Ariana Grande at Aretha Franklin's funeral

The Bishop who officiated Aretha Franklin’s funeral, Charles H. Ellis III, has come under fire for groping singer Ariana Grande shortly after her performance at the event.

Bishop Ellis had invited Grande to the podium, and made sexually awkward jokes. He also appeared to severally grope the singer's under boobs.

Ellis has however apologised for his actions after public outrage saying, "It would never be my intention to touch any woman’s breast" he told The Associated Press at the cemetery where Franklin was interred late Friday.

"I don’t know I guess I put my arm around her. Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar but again, I apologize. I personally and sincerely apologize to Ariana and to her fans and to the whole Hispanic community.

When you’re doing a program for nine hours you try to keep it lively, you try to insert some jokes here and there,” he said.
