BSc Law: Anyim Vera under fire for seeking financial help to maintain ‘celebrity’ status
Anyim Vera, a member of Dunamis International Gospel Center, DIGC, who went viral recently after she was accused of lying during a testimony in the church has come under heavy criticism.
Recall that on April 15, a video clip which captured the Senior Pastor of the church, Dr Paul Enenche obstructing Vera’s testimony of being a law graduate, went viral on the social media.
Enenche, who wondered how a supposed law graduate would speak incorrect English, asked some questions for clarification.
Vera, in her response, said she did a BSc in law at the National Open University of Nigeria, prompting the clergy to send her back to her seat, saying the testimony was a lie.
This triggered reactions from Nigerians who demanded that the pastor must apologize to the church member. The church later apologized.
In a recent video posted on her Facebook page, Vera was heard appealing to Nigerians to assist her financially for a better accommodation.
According to Vera, her current residence is no longer safe, stressing that her ‘celebrity’ status was not planned.
She said, “I want to say to Nigerians, you know this thing that happened is a thing of joy, I never dreamed of it, it came this moment, I never dream of being a celebrity.
“It just came all of a sudden. I never prepared for it. I want to use this medium to urge us to assist me with accommodation because I am not buoyant now to rent a house. Where I am staying now is risky and insecure. It is a very open place and everybody already knows I am a celebrity.”
The move, however, didn’t go well with some social media users who stormed the comment section to lambast the Dunamis member over her recent outings.
Bellow are some of the comments:
Iyanya Johnny: You are popular, that’s different from being a celebrity. Now you want help? I thought they said she is a police officer.
Chidozie Emebie: This is not right madam. Whoever advised you to make this video does not mean well for you. Please, your life is safe. There is no need to be afraid now. God has really blessed you and more is coming. You have to apply wisdom and discretion.
Edward Ojodomo: This very video has the capability to tarnish your good image, damage your godly reputation and deny you of spectrum of potential favour and blessings that are already revolving around you. Take down this video ASAP and keep hope alive to seeing how God will transform your life miraculously soon. It’s just a candid advice ma.
Alhassan Anthony: I thought you were a police officer, why are you afraid of security? I thought you had a gun, let’s forget about this play that we are playing on social media. You are a product of Grace, go back to your former house, nothing will happen to you. Don’t beg anybody.
Ekanade Samuel: Madam, don’t abuse the privilege you have now, it will not last forever. Appreciate God for what He has done for you and move on with your life. According to Dr Pst Paul Enenche, you won’t have the stage forever, make sense on time.’ Selah!
Lois Adams: She needs to be laid off the service, if she doesn’t stop. She is constituting nuisance.

I was paid to perform at Trump’s inaugural party – Soulja Boy tells critics
American rapper Soulja Boy has revealed why he performed at a Donald Trump inauguration ball.
Soulja Boy, alongside Nelly and Snoop Dogg, has been facing backlash from fans who felt they betrayed their trust by accepting the invitation to perform at Trump’s inauguration balls.
Reacting to the criticisms, the rapper said he was paid to perform at the event.
He explained that he never received any financial benefit from former President Barack Obama, outgoing Vice President, and Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, but Trump enriched him.
Speaking in an Instagram Live video, Soulja said, “They paid me a bag. Obama ain’t never put no money in my fcking pockets, ngga. Kamala ain’t never put no money in my fcking pockets, ngga. Trump put money in my pockets, n*gga.”
Meanwhile, Nelly has claimed that his performance at Trump’s inaugural ball was an act of honor and “not for the money.”
Snoop Dogg is yet to react to the criticisms.

EFCC ‘most wicked’ organisation in Nigeria – Bobrisky
Controversial Nigerian transgender, Bobrisky, has called the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the most wicked organisation in Nigeria.
Bobrisky made this statement while reacting to the Commission’s plea asking Nigerians to show empathy and humanity towards its official who was shot dead during one of its night raids in Anambra State.
In a series of posts on Instagram Stories on Monday, Bobrisky accused EFCC of hypocrisy, stating that the police are “100% better.”
“I just don’t like reading about the EFCC online because I feel like I want to throw up each time I read about them,” Bobrisky posted.
“You’re asking the public to be human over the loss of your staff, but you are the most wicked people in Nigeria.
“When I was in your custody, you took me to my house and searched it. When I asked you why, you claimed I was into money laundering and wanted to check if I was printing money in my house. The police are 100 % better than you all, one million times.”
