AFOLABINollywood actress Dayo Amusa has slammed crossdresser, Bobrisky after he won the award for the ‘Best Dressed Female’ at a recent movie premiere.
Bobrisky took home the award and a cash prize of N1 million at the movie premiere in Lagos over the weekend.
However, reacting via a video message shared on her Instagram account, Amusa said it was a mockery of the women present at the event.
She said, “I was at a colleague of mine premiere yesterday, they said the best dressers are to be picked; one female and one male best dresser. Don’t get me wrong, the winner could be anyone but definitely not a crossdresser. I mean, what’s wrong with us? I don’t understand it.
“I cannot imagine the judges disrespecting every woman that was there. You had to pick a winner, a female best dressed and a male best dressed and you watered the efforts of all the women at the event by giving the best dressed female to a crossdresser. I don’t understand, what is wrong with us?
“If you feel you want to honour crossdressers, you should have created their own category instead of disrespecting women by giving a crossdresser the best dressed female award.”

Binance, a cryptocurrency platform, has reacted to the report that one of its detained employees, Nadeem Anjarwalla, escaped from custody in Nigeria.
The spokesperson for Binance confirmed Anjarwalla’s escape in a statement sent to the DAILY POST on Monday.
DAILY POST reports that Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa regional manager, escaped from custody on March 22, 2024, from an Abuja guest house, where he and his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, were detained for alleged tax evasion.
Reacting to the development, Binance said the safety of Anjarwalla remains their top priority.
The firm stressed that it is working with the Nigerian authorities to resolve the issue quickly.
“We were made aware that Nadeem is no longer in Nigerian custody. Our primary focus remains on the safety of our employees, and we are working collaboratively with Nigerian authorities to resolve this issue quickly”.
The two Binance executives were detained by the office of the National Security Adviser from last February 2024.
Recall that trouble started for Binance when it was restricted from operating in Nigerian cyberspace from February 21, 2024.
The development led to Binance discontinuing its services on Naira from March 8.
The Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria, ABCON, has said the oversubscription of recent FGN securities and clearance of foreign exchange backlog is the reason for Naira’s appreciation against the US Dollar.
According to NAN, the President of ABCON, Aminu Gwadabe, disclosed this in an interview.
He said the Central Bank of Nigeria’s recent policies have bolstered investors’ confidence, impacting the Naira.
“We are also seeing how they use the securities to attract foreign investments, which are oversubscribed. That also has a lot of positive impact on the exchange rate.
“As we speak, as of today before the meeting, the exchange rate of the Naira to the United States dollar is awesome. It’s reassuring and shows that the CBN has the muscles and arsenal to protect the value of the Naira.
“My advice is for them to continue widening and undergo a paradigm shift in sourcing foreign exchange for the economy,” he said.
DAILY POST recalls that in the second week of March, the apex bank auctioned N161.50 trillion worth of Treasury Bills in the Open Market Operations, OMO.
A week ago, CBN said it had cleared all foreign exchange backlogs.
The development had led to weeks of Naira appreciation in the forex market.
At the close of trading last Friday, the Naira appreciated to 1,431.49 per USD compared to N1,470 on Thursday.
Gov Uba Sani of Kaduna State said that people who have no business with the release of the abducted Kuriga students are asking if ransom was paid to secure their release.
According to him, such questions are irrelevant because the most important thing is that the children were rescued unhurt and reunited with their loved ones.
Recall that the schoolchildren were abducted from LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, about four weeks ago before they were rescued.
There were rumours that the government paid ransom to the kidnappers for the release of the schoolchildren.
He said, “What is more important today is that our children are back home. Most of those permutations are not necessary. If your child is kidnapped, will you be sitting down and talking about how he was released?
“For me, what is more important is that those children are back home. Their parents are extremely happy and what is important to them is to reunite with their children.
“But some people who have no business with the situation are the ones coming out with some irresponsible permutations about whether ransom is being paid, whether someone had gone into the kinetic or non-kinetic approach. What is important to us in Kaduna is that the children are back home.”
The governor explained that the government handled the Kuriga schoolchildren abduction very discreetly, adding, “We tried as much as possible not to jeopardise the lives of the innocent children. Some people at some point wanted to politicize the whole incident.”

He mentioned that he gave his mother the N2 million, and now she’s independent and does not need to rely on him for money anymore.
Asake said, “When I made my first big paycheck from music, I was so happy that I shared the news with my girlfriend. I gave her full details of how much I made and the next day, I gave her 2 million naira as a gift.
To my surprise, she turned it down saying 2 Million was too small compared to how much I had made. I was a bit worried coz this girl is from a humble background, and I never imagined her to be like that.
I explained the situation to Olamide and he advised me to leave the girl, he also instructed me to send the 2 Million Naira to my mom.
I’m glad I did coz my mom was able to make good use of the money and open a big provision store. My mom doesn’t call me for financial issues anymore coz she’s doing just fine…“
