“Fani-Kayode Never Assaulted, Sexually Harassed Any Of Us” — Nurse, Staff Clarify{ Video}
Reactions have continued to trail a media report credited to an ex-nanny, Anthonia Uchenna, a domestic staff to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode over allegations of assaults, and sexual harassment of his domestic staff.
Uchenna had made unfounded accusations that the former minister had stripped his former chef naked over theft and arrested some others suspected of stealing in his house.
But in a swift reaction, a nurse attached to the home of the ex-Aviation minister debunked the claims saying they were all lies from the pit of hell by those who have been paid by the estranged wife of the ex-minister to tarnish his reputation.
Favour, who also is a pastor, said there was never a time the ex-minister assaulted anyone.
She said the lady in the viral video was sacked in 2019 for allegedly stealing.
Favour Anthony made this known in a statement obtained by vanguard on Thursday.
She said the video in which the lady made the comment is full of falsehood and fabrications, saying the person behind it is his estranged wife.
“My name is Pastor Favour Anthony, I am the Head nurse of chief fani-kayode, I have been working with him and the children for four years, it has been brought to my attention that one Anthonia who was sacked in 2019 for stealing, has gone to the press and made a video in which she has told many lies against chief Fani-Kayode.
She has also made a video which is full of falsehood and fabrications, she also swore to a fake affidavit making these allegations, this matter is now under criminal investigation and Antonia was procured and paid to tell these lies together with 5 other former staff members just to tarnish chief Fani-Kayode name.
The person behind it is precious Chikwendu, my former madam who has approached many other staff members including those that are still working here to come and lie against chief Fani-Kayode, she even offered them money to do so.
Anthony herself has confirmed to me that she collected money to lie on this man and she urged to do the same, the whole idea is to smear him before the world, so that the ex-wife will get sympathy and be able to take the children away.
In all my four years of working in chief Fani-Kayode House, none of the staff was sexually molested including antonia and no staff was ever stripped naked, this is a ridiculous claim and it never happened.
I am the Head nurse and the first person anyone would have reported such things to is me, it never happened.
The allegations of sexual harassment her also false because everybody know how disciplined chief Fani-Kayode is around those that take care of his children.
Antonia is a liar and desperate for money and precious is using her, she claimed she was been owed salary this is not true, because she has signed for every salary that was her due and we have evidence of it, am the one incharge of it so I know, the staff are paid very well and they are paid on time, and chief Fani-Kayode never owes salary.
It is rather precious Chikwendu my former madam who steals the salary of staffs, deducts from their money and subject them to physical and mental abuse and torture.
I am surprised, that anybody or newspaper will publish this kind of thing, there are over 55 people working in chief Fani-Kayode House and there all ready to tell the truth and how precious Chikwendu was not just to the staff but also to the children and how she often beat them all.
There are also many people who have worked here before who will tell you the truth.
I was there when my former madam pulled a Knife on the staff and the children, including aunty Joy, it was a terrible day the woman was mad.
Had it not been for the intervention of the police she would have killed us that day.
The worst thing anyone can do to anybody is to accuse someone falsely in return for money. This is what antonia and the other accusers have done, luckily for him there are many staff and ex-staff that know the truth and that he his not a sexual predator, never beats his wife or staff but those that say otherwise are been paid to do so.
Am a married woman and a pastor, my husband is also a pastor and we have our own church, I have not lied and do not need to lie.
For four years up until today no less than 15 nannies and nurses work under me and not one of them have ever complained about chief Fani-Kayode rather it has always been the violent ways and mad tantrums of precious Chikwendu and all of us have agreed that she is a danger to everybody around her.
I was there the day they caught her in bed with another man, and when she came back home I witnessed the violence she displayed towards everybody, she called me on several occasions and threatened my life.
So antonia said she was sexually harassed, something as huge as that yet she never complained to me as her boss and she never went to the police even after she was sacked since 2019, and she’s saying now definitely there is a motive …
Meanwhile, new information available revealed that Precious Chikwendu did the voiceover on the video she gave to Sahara reporters and Punch in 2021. The video itself was taken in 2018. There was no assault and no threat. She did the voice over in 2021 and released it in order to implicate FFK and to tarnish his image. She also paid other staff to lie on him. She approached 12 members of his ex staff to also lie on him in return for money and they all refused.
The gentleman in this video, Gbenga his former P.A has refuted the allegation that he was ever threatened or assaulted but has said it was rather Precious that threatened his life on several occasions and terrorised the staff.new
LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its new television lineup for 2023, which boasts a range of technological advancements designed to deliver superior picture quality, sound performance, and usability. This lineup is headlined by its most advanced range of OLED TVs yet, the OLED evo C3. With premium self-lit picture quality, powerful image processing technologies, and an enhanced webOS platform offering even more smart features and services, the company’s latest OLED TVs elevate viewing experiences as only LG OLED can.
It’s been 10 years since LG first released OLED, and in that time, much has changed. What’s new for 2023’s big TVs, and is it worth getting excited about? It might be difficult to believe, but TVs are celebrating a bit of an anniversary this year as OLED turns ten.
“At LG, we are committed to continuous innovation across our home entertainment products, and our 2023 TV range is no exception. And as our technologies have evolved, so has the role of the TV in Nigerian homes,” said Choongbae Seok, General Manager, TV Division, LG Electronics West African Operations.
“Whether it be the hub where people gather for the latest sporting match, game, or movie, or a statement piece positioned to impress invited guests, this year we are providing a television for every consumer,” he said.
The C3 OLED evo provides higher brightness and color accuracy, as well as amazing clarity and detail, thanks to the precision and performance of LG OLED evo technology and the new α9 AI Processor Gen6. It comes in 83, 77, and 65-inch sizes. The other lineup includes the QNED 81 Series (75’’, 65″); the Nano 77 Series (75”, 65”, 55″); and the UHD UR Series (75’’, 65”, 55”, 50”). LG TVs now feature a slimmer design and minimal bezel that complement your home interior. Upgrade your viewing experience to enjoy vivid colors and breathtaking detail in real 4K.
LG continues to leverage its technological leadership, not just to create products and services for a better life. 2023 LG OLED TVs are designed to be kinder to the environment, from production all the way through to disposal, creating sustainable cycles. LG OLED TVs have no backlighting unit, meaning each TV requires fewer materials to produce than a conventional LED TV. They also employ many components made from recycled plastics and are even shipped in eco-packaging made from recyclable materials and featuring single-color printing. Easier on viewers’ eyes, LG’s 2023 model OLED TV has been certified low-blue-light by TÜV Rheinland and flicker-free by UL Solutions.
Outlets such as CNET highlighted the OLED C3, saying, “It sets the standard for high-end TV picture quality.” (CNET, 06/23)
For TechRadar, the LG OLED C3 arrives with new HDR-improving picture processing, a pleasing look, a smart TV interface overhaul, and a wealth of features that will appeal to both gamers and movie fans. “LG has delivered another winner with the C3 OLED,” the review noted. (TechRadar, 03/2023)
The LG range of 2023 TVs comprises the following:
Faster HDMI switching
The new LG OLED TV models support a wide range of HDMI 2.1a-compatible features, with 4 ports available on the C3 models again. They are also the first TVs to be certified by the HDMI organization for the recently announced Quick Media Switching VRR (QMS-VRR). QMS-VRR eliminates the momentary black screen when switching between content from different sources connected via the TV’s HDMI 2.1a-compatible ports. This is only available when using HDMI 2.1 QMS VRR-certified source devices.
Gaming remains a focus
For the ultimate gaming experience, LG OLED and QNED TVs feature a 0.1 ms response time, low input lag, and up to four HDMI 2.1a-compatible ports. LG OLED TVs are also equipped with Game Optimizer, which allows users to quickly select and switch between game-related features such as game genre display presets. Settings for Nvidia G-Sync, FreeSync Premium, and variable refresh rate (VRR) are also easily accessible through the Game Optimizer.
Improved picture and sound quality
The latest processor in the Alpha series uses LG’s advanced AI-powered deep learning technology to ensure excellent picture and sound quality. AI Picture Pro offers improved upscaling for greater clarity, and improved dynamic tone mapping helps bring out depth and detail in every image. AI Picture Pro also includes image processing technology that recognizes and refines objects or faces to have more lifelike HDR quality. In addition, AI Sound Pro ensures that viewers can immerse themselves even more in what is happening on screen by delivering virtual 9.1.2 surround sound through the TV’s built-in speaker system.
Improved webOS and software
This year’s models are equipped with the latest webOS version and include the redesigned All New Home user interface, which offers a wealth of personalization options and more comfort for an even better user experience. The new Quick Cards give users easy access to the content and services they use most, grouped into logical categories such as home office, gaming, music, and sports. Based on their TV behavior and viewing habits, the more advanced webOS ensures that consumers easily receive personalized recommendations tailored to their preferences.
LG TVs are available in all Fouani showrooms nationwide. For more information, kindly visit https://www.lg.com/africa/tvs
