BBNaija’s TBoss Pens Note To Self As She Turns 39

Ex-BBNaija housemate, TBoss has penned a note to herself as she turned 39.

The mum of one gratitude to God for being alive and prayed to be a great mother to her daughter.

She Wrote;

”The 1st thing I did the moment I opened my eyes this morning was Thank God for life and then pray to be not just at a Good Mum but to be a Great Mum to my Daughter because she deserves it and more.

I haven’t really been feeling like myself lately- too many emotions running all over the place, birthdays are becoming weird for me,
tooo many disappointments from friends & trusted associates that I think it’s just made me disconnect from Everything & Everyone.

And I’m trying to bring myself back, snap outta my funk cos I feel it’s affecting my relationships but it’s hard- Trust me when I tell you that people are going through soooo much behind closed doors that they don’t speak about, are ashamed to speak about so Kindness truly goes a long way to making them feel like there’s still some atom of humanity in this otherwise inhumane world.

And then I remembered to pray for myself😆

I really need to stop doing this cos I can only Give my Best when I am at my Best.

So yeah Today’s my Birthday and it’s Amazing to see how far I’ve come and how much my priorities have changed, I didn’t even get to do no photo shoots like TBoss’ would have😆 I mean I had done 9 a couple of years ago and posted up a completely new and totally dope shoot every day from the 1st till the 9th of March but heyyy This is Me now and I just want to say thank you and I love you so much yo the people who have been blowing up my phone all morning and sent me tons of messages amongst other show of love😉. May God bless us All😘

In Everything Give thanks and so Today join me in Thanking God for All that He’s done and All that He’s about to do 🙏🏽

#GratefulHeart❤️

#Thisis39🥳 🎂”

Mercy Johnson under fire for endorsing Gov. Sanwo-OluMercy Johnson under fire for endorsing Gov. Sanwo-Olu

Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, faces backlash for endorsing the incumbent governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term.

The actress took to her Instagram page to announce Babajide Sanwo-Olu as her choice to vote in the recently postponed gubernatorial election.

Stating her reasons for being willing to vote the governor for a second term, Mercy Johnson insisted that the work of his administration is visible and verifiable.

“This is why my choice is Governor Babajide Sanwoolu; His efforts that have improved healthcare, women’s development, transportation, entrepreneurship, education, and infrastructure in Lagos State.

Key points for me include the handling of the Covid 19 pandemic, entrepreneurship support and all the work behind the scenes helping women who have been victims of domestic violence to supporting their entrepreneurship.

His results can be seen and measured. Yes, there is still a lot of work left to do, I believe in my heart that he can and will do as he says,” she wrote.

Netizens, however, lambasted the actress for throwing her weight behind Sanwo-Olu even though she maintained non-partisan during the presidential election.

Reactions to Mercy Johnson’s Support for Sanwo-Olu

@susu_ituen“Just wondering if you also advertised your own presidential candidate like this? I guess that would have affected your husbands election now his own is out of the way (road clear) Omo everything is politics that’s why I hate this game – hate it mehn.”

@debbyfooties__: “That’s your choice. But I want you all celebrities to know that without “us” the citizens that support you, you guys are NOTHING. If you really love us and appreciate us, how hard is it for you guys to at least support the candidates that care for us and will treat us well?? Most of y’all care about only your pockets… because of course, you can leave the country at any time. May the lord judge you all.”

@fade4real_“If he is your choice, go out and vote him on Saturday, we don’t need this announcement, it’s to your pocket, opportunity to always have access to Governor tomorrow, we are wiser now.”

@tiana_ambrose“Aunty get sense she no gree campaign for their Presidential candidate because she no wan make her husband fail,as Oga don win she don get moral.”
