YVONNE-JEGEDE-2-650x400
Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede, in a recent Instagram post, talked about a beauty pageant organizer in Delta State who tried to impose a candidate on her after calling her to be the chief judge of the pageant.
According to the busty actress, she was contacted to be the Chief Judge of Miss Delta Constituency Beauty Pageant but while the event was in progress, she was instructed to crown a certain contestant the winner despite her performance at the event.
She wrote, “I was called to be the chief judge at the Miss Delta Constituency Beauty Pageant that took place on the 24th June in Delta State and while I sat at the table with my fellow judges accessing the contestants making sure we pick who deserves to be queen, the organizer comes to our table to tell us who should win, who his candidate was.
The entire judges went angry including myself, wondering why you called us to waste our time if you already knew who the winner was. To be honest we stood our ground and picked the winner because, the obvious was stated, even the audience wanted the judges pick. Now the organizer IK is mad at me (chief judge) and refuses to buy my return ticket to Lagos and also refuses to pay my hotel bills the next morning. Lol.. Just an experience I thought I share. It is well with this country.”
Her allegation comes few weeks after winner of Miss Nollywood Nigeria Beauty Pageant blamed her sudden dethronement on her inability to yield to the sexual advances of the organizer.

Yeni-Kuti-with-her-fiancé-Theo-Lawson
Yeni Kuti, the first daughter of late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti turned 55 last month and the ‘icing on her cake’ that day was a ring of commitment given to her by her long term lover and partner, Theo Lawson . In a recent interview with Encomium she spoke on life at 55, wedding plans and more.
When asked if she would be settling down any time soon, the event planner said, “Yes, we have already fixed a date”. On the exact day, Yeni who has been with her partner for nine years now said, “20 years from now. If we are still alive, we will send the IV out. Saturday, May 24, 2036, if we are alive. I am serious. We discussed it yesterday.”
Yeni had previously expressed her intention not to get married following her engagement. According her, the ring her partner gave her is a commitment ring.

She told The Entertainer in an exclusive interview, “Not at all. The ring my partner gave me is what they call ‘a commitment ring’. He gave me his mother’s wedding ring as a commitment to the relationship. We have been together for about nine years. When I met him, he used to wear the ring around his neck, so for me, it is a big deal.
He has entrusted me with something very close to his heart. It is not like we are going to start doing wedding and all that, even though we are really committed to each other. I call him ‘my last bus stop’. If God gives us long life and says there should be another man in my life, he is the man for me and I believe I am the woman for him as well.
When he made the proposal, we didn’t know that it was going to go viral.”
Yeni Kuti was formerly married to late Femi Segun, who died from a power bike accident on March 21, 2014.
The marriage had produced a daughter named Rolari.
