Nollywood actress, Liz Anjorin in her appreciation message to Bobrisky for honouring her at her recent chieftaincy title event says she'll keep supporting him as long as he's not caught with a fellow man.

In her words, 'until you are caught with your fellow man, then I will deny you here and after life, but if it your crazy styles to sell your product, I stand by you. To dissociate from poverty is not rice and beans.

The actress then went on a long epistle to explain her statement. Read Below...

Ask yourself before you condemn him ..did he rape? rob? Steal? Steal panties ? Steal government money ?? ... No ..I expect your former house help that betray you to show us and tell names of men that slept with you ...but no evidence and still people just pick on him becos of his mode of dressing.

Little mind with gene of poverty talk trash and think dirty ..great mind with successful gene mind their business cos they want to be successful..i learnt something about you...when you walked in alot of people were laughing and making jest of you ..but I asked myself what is going through this guy mind ..later you stood up with your maccorooni style you shared over 300 big milos for people ..after few minutes everybody change their thought towards you.

The lesson learnt is that never see anybody useless regardless of how they appear..some people will look cool but deadly than death ..upgrade your brain great mind , mind their business because people you think are normal might not be useful.

They might be the one cutting you down behind you. Those you think are useless might be apple of God eyes ..who am I to judge ?? You will be surprised in 2020 when he declared his family then you will realise he is just an innocent entertainer and clown of highest order ..Bob thank you for coming.

Fans hold a vigil in France for Argentine striker Emiliano Sala after his plane vanishes over Channel Islands (Photos)

On Tuesday night, Nantes fans held a vigil in the city centre to pay tribute to Argentine striker and Cardiff City’s record £15million signing Emiliano Sala, who is missing and presumed dead after his flight went off radar, north of Alderney at Les Casquets at 8.23pm on Monday, just an hour after taking off from Nantes Atlantique airport.

The single-engine Piper PA-46 Malibu plane was bound for Cardiff where he was going to join his new teammates.

Unconfirmed reports say the plane had difficulty taking off and took ‘three or four’ attempts before flying at 7.15pm.

2019 Election: 'We will not endorse any presidential candidate' - CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) will not endorse any presidential candidate in the forthcoming election, president of the group, Rev. Samson Ayokunle said.  

Ayokunle urged Nigerians to vote according to the leading of the Holy Spirit and their consciences, adding that credibility and integrity should guide their choice. The Presidential election, along with National Assembly election will hold on 16 February. CAN made its position known in a statement signed by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, the Special Assistant, Media and Communications to the CAN president.  

Ayokunle said CAN is for God and His people and is apolitical, non-partisan and impartial. “Our members cut across all political divides and some of them are even contesting for one post or the other including the Presidential. So, the idea of endorsing any candidate as favourite does not arise. We have not and will not endorse any candidate for any elective office in the country,” he said.  

Arsenal try their luck with ambitious Manchester United transfer raid

Arsenal have reportedly asked about a somewhat ambitious move to take Eric Bailly on loan from Manchester United in this January’s transfer window.

The Gunners are short of options in defence after an injury to Rob Holding earlier this season and it makes sense that manager Unai Emery would be keen on some cover.

However, it is little surprise that United are not keen on strengthening a top four rival and have knocked back Arsenal’s approach for Bailly, according to the Mail.

he Ivory Coast international is also said in the report to be keen on continuing to fight for his place at Old Trafford, despite enduring a difficult season.

Still, there seems a chance for most Red Devils players to make a fresh start now following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last month.

Many players have improved under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Bailly has the natural ability to be a big success at United.

He could also have been ideal for Arsenal, however, who can’t be blamed for thinking he might have been a realistic target given his struggles this season.

Update: Chris Brown is released with no charges after being detained in Paris on rape allegations

U.S. singer Chris Brown and two others have been released from police custody and won't face any charges at this time, but an investigation continues as he has been accused of aggravated rape and drug offenses by a lady in Paris.

The Associated Press, citing two anonymous police officials, said the 29-year-old singer was detained Monday along with his bodyguard and one other person after a woman accused Brown of raping her in a hotel room last week.

No charges have been filed against any of them, the prosecutor's office said, but the investigation is ongoing.

The singer issued a statement on his Instagram account on Tuesday denying the accusations.

"I wanna make it perfectly clear ..... This is false and a whole lot of CAP!," he wrote in the all-caps message. "... For my daughter and my family this is so disrespectful and is against my character and morals!!!!" he wrote

 

Raphael Chiche, the singer's attorney, said his client "vigorously protests his innocence" and has directed him to file a complaint due to the "slander of which he has unfairly been the subject."

 

The singer has had several run-ins with the law, including physical assault charges after an incident with his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009. He was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats in that incident, and received five years probation and community service.

'This plane seems like it is falling to pieces, send someone to find me' - Emiliano Sala's last WhatsApp audio note to friends before his plane went missing

A WhatsApp voice note which Premier League footballer Emiliano Sala sent to friends before his plane vanished has emerged. In it, the 28-year-old seemed scared for his life.

In a voice note sent from the light aircraft which disappeared on Monday night in the Piper Mailibu near Alderney in the Channel Islands, Sala told them to send someone to come find him if they don't hear from him. He sounded calm but exhausted.

He said in Spanish in the audio recording:

Hey guys, how is it going? Brother, I am really tired now. I was over in Nantes sorting things out, doing this, doing that. 

I am now aboard a plan that seems like it is falling to pieces. I'm going to Cardiff now, crazy, and tomorrow we get going. I will train with my new team tomorrow.

The striker, who was recently signed to Cardiff for a whooping sum of £15 million, said in a separate voice note that came later:
