Actress Laide Bakare warns critics who talk ill about her source of wealth
Popular Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has reacted angrily to rumors about her source of income circulating on the internet.
Since purchasing her new home in March and spending millions on two expensive cars, the actress has made headlines and raised eyebrows.
Laide has angrily cautioned her colleagues to refrain from commenting on such unpleasant rumors in the aftermath of her self-proclaimed Billion Naira net worth and news of her frolicking around.
This comes after Laide attacked her colleague Tonto Dikeh, referring to her as an Oloriburuku, which means “dumb or insane,” for reacting to Gistlover’s article about how she made her money.
It all started on Monday when Laide Bakare revealed that she will be releasing a book to explain how she became self-made via hard work rather than sleeping about, as it was widely speculated.
However, Instagram blogger Gistlover, reacting to this promised to reveal dirty truths about her source of income and the various men with whom she is romantically connected.

“For those women who are waiting for your oloriburuku (stupid) book wey you wan launch so you won’t mislead them….. Laide has one of the dirtiest stories in Nollywood, her story is so dirty that all these upcoming olosho dey learn work.
“As it is now, you have implicated all your other colleagues ooo…some of these celebrities were the definition of oloshos back then, but because of social media today, they have changed a little..I will reopen everybody’s matter now.
“Is it that of Jaiye kuti or mercy Johnson, oshodi oke, Remi surutu, ini edo, Bukola Aruga, Clara chukura, Tonto Dike, Iyabo ojo, mercy Aigbe , Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham,Sola Sobowale, the list is Endless oooo, but some of them have cooled down now, as they are aging and social media is everywhere.
If I post all the dirts I have on them, some of you their fans will not appreciate them again..but not yet, because they are old gists…..but in Laide Bakare’s case, I will spill it all, let me get to work and be back”
Interestingly, Tonto Dikeh sarcastically commented under the post saying “Jesu’’ Why this person Dey make you remember me Nah!!! Abeg Oba small Girl… E no go better for these people wey make you remember me!! Chia see me see trouble”
An in anger, Laide Bakare responded to Tonto Dikeh’s post by calling her, an ‘Oloribuku’ ( Dumb & Insane) person.

“Thanks much dear @mayowabae pls NOTE: This is a public announcement. This is a clear warning to anyone from my industry who has gone publicly online to comment trash about me on those gossip blogs and others. If you ever see me anyway, please keep your distance or else, you go collect”.
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore and several legal practitioners on Monday escorted a Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Ushie Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye, to the office of her Local Government Inspector (LGI) after she was summoned for a viral video criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Raye had gained widespread attention after posting a video on her TikTok account, #talktoraye, in which she lamented the country’s worsening economic crisis and blamed President Tinubu for the hardship faced by Nigerians.
She further described the president as a “terrible leader.”

In a subsequent video, Raye claimed that NYSC officials had begun to threaten her following her public outbursts.
She was then summoned to appear at the NYSC office in Eti-Osa, Lagos, for questioning on Monday.
However, Sowore, alongside legal practitioners including Festus Ogun, Yinka Oyesomi, and Justice Ojienoh, accompanied Raye to the NYSC office in a show of solidarity.
According to an update shared by Sowore on his official X handle, the NYSC officials failed to show up for the meeting.
“We arrived at the Eti-Osa LGI offices of the @officialnyscng with youth corper, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, in Lagos. She was scheduled to appear before the LGI today, and we escorted her to their offices with attorneys.
@mrfestusogun, @yinka_oyesomi, and @justiceojienoh, but the LGI official had absconded, failing to show up throughout our stay,” Sowore posted.

According to preliminary reports, another officer, Tolorunloju Stephen, attached to the Force Headquarters Annex in Lagos, recounted that he had just returned from Ikeja when he saw Inspector Oloyede resting his head on a table in the security office.
After exchanging pleasantries, Oloyede reportedly assured Stephen that he was fine.
Moments later, Stephen went to the restroom but was startled by the sound of a gunshot. He rushed back to find Oloyede lying in a pool of blood.
With the help of private security personnel, the injured officer was immediately transported to Ota General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by doctors.
The police confirmed that the firearm used in the incident has been recovered, and the body has been deposited for an autopsy.
Reacting to the incident, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, ordered a full-scale investigation to determine whether foul play was involved or if mental health issues contributed to the tragedy.
The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran, for further inquiry.
“The Nigeria Police Force expresses its deepest condolences to the family, colleagues, and loved ones of Inspector Ajele Oloyede. The command remains committed to the well-being of its officers and will ensure that all necessary support is provided during this difficult time,” Odutola stated.
Authorities assured the public that the findings of the investigation would be made known once concluded.
Nine surveyors abducted in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State have been released after their families paid a ransom of N20 million.
Recall that the victims were kidnapped a week ago while working at a site in Ilu-Abo.
Their captors initially demanded N100 million for their release.
However, following negotiations, market women intervened, pleading for a reduction to N50 million.

The kidnappers initially rejected the appeal before eventually settling for N20 million.
Confirming their release, Pastor Ajibade Owolanke, brother to the Ejemikin of Akure, High Chief Oluwole Omotayo, said: “The victims have joined their individual family members.”
It was gathered that after regaining their freedom, the surveyors were taken to different hospitals for medical examinations.
The abduction sparked widespread outrage in the state, prompting market women and youths in Akure to stage a protest.
The demonstrators urged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and security agencies to take decisive action against the rising wave of kidnappings in the state.
Security authorities have yet to comment on any arrests related to the incident.
