One of the queens of Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III), the Elegushi of Ikateland, Olori Sekinat Aramide, has given out some food items to residents of communities under her husband’s control.

The charming wife of Lagos flamboyant King Gushi distributed stimulus relief package to communities within the Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom through her foundation called The Quality and Selfless Empowerment.

These items shared were to assist beneficiaries survive during the lockdown of Lagos by the federal government for another two weeks.

During the distribution, residents of the communities could not hide their joy for the queen’s gesture. They commended her for remembering them during their trying period and prayed for her.

As many have known this queen as a visage of beauty and elegance, whose comfort precedes style is quite evident from the appearances she makes in both native and western outfits, was in her element, as she put on her regal to do what she knows how to do best when it comes to matters that are dear to the heart.

Since the announcement of total lockdown by the government to hinder the spread of COVID-19 pandemic within the society, Queen Elegushi, through her QSE foundation that is committed vulnerable to mothers and children, has been putting smiles on the faces of the less-privileged with distributions of food items to widows and single mothers in Eti-Osa local government area in Lagos State.

It was gathered that five densely populated communities in Eti-Osa Local Government were reached and they are like Itedo, Gbara, Igbo-kushu, Ologolo, Iroko-awe, and Ilasan communities.

Queen Sekinat Elegushi, who is the promoter of the foundation, said the second round of distribution was necessitated by the calls of people from all these areas, asking the foundation for assistance in alleviating their challenges due to the lockdown; hence we have no choice than to assist and support them.

Speaking about the development Olori Gushi said, “Truly, I am overwhelmed by the calls for help from the people. I must confess that people genuinely need help at this time and we can’t just turn deaf ears, that is why we are doing this again, just some few days after we did the last one”.

Olori added that while the government is trying her best at this challenging time, well-meaning individuals should also assist and come to the aid of the people. “I wish we all can do more for the people and reach as more people as we can,” she quipped.

She was joined by Ijeoma, her friend who is also the wife of media entrepreneur, Chris Ubosi, and other friends, who also brought extra food packs, which was also distributed.

Drama Surrounds Igwe on Latest Episode of Heartbeat

The latest episode of Africa Magic Heartbeat saw the house adjusting to recent exits and shifting relationships. Sharon’s earlier departure and Henri’s elimination in episode eight left the remaining singles settling into their pairings while trying to understand where everyone truly stands.

Hilda Reflects on Henri’s Exit

Henri’s departure is still fresh in the house, and Hilda admitted she felt bad that her decision ultimately led to him leaving the Love Pad. However, she maintained that she did not regret choosing Bosah. In her view, even if she had chosen Henri, he likely would have remained in the house pursuing other connections.

Queen Latifah Calls Out Igwe

The episode’s biggest moment began when Queen Latifah expressed concerns about Igwe’s intentions toward Shekinah. While speaking with Hilda, she suggested that Shekinah might be allowing herself to be manipulated by Igwe and questioned whether he was truly serious about her.

Queen Latifah later took the conversation directly to Shekinah, recounting how Igwe had previously shown interest in pursuing her and even suggested he was ready to compete with Ken for her attention. According to Queen Latifah, Igwe later dismissed his connection with Shekinah by saying she was “too serious” for him.

The conversation quickly escalated when Igwe walked in mid-discussion. Words were exchanged as tensions rose, and what began as a private conversation eventually turned into one of the episode’s most heated moments.

Igwe Seeks Clarity From Alvin

Following the confrontation, Igwe later pulled Alvin aside to discuss Shekinah. With the house already questioning his intentions, he wanted to know if there was still anything between Alvin and Shekinah.

Alvin made it clear that things had changed since Ceeoni arrived and that he had no intention of pursuing Shekinah if Igwe was serious about her. The conversation appeared to reassure Igwe that there was no competition from Alvin, and he seemed increasingly focused on resolving things with Shekinah.

In a surprising turn, Igwe also acknowledged that the situation had gotten out of hand and attempted to make peace with Shekinah, even reaching out to Hilda, who is close to her, in hopes of smoothing things over.

A Brief Moment of Jealousy Between Kena and Chidera

Even the strongest couples can experience moments of friction. A brief moment of jealousy surfaced when Kena noticed Chidera wearing Alvin’s jacket, something that made him visibly uncomfortable, given that the two are now committed to each other.

The tension was short-lived when Chidera quickly apologised and reassured him, bringing the moment to a calm resolution.

The episode closed on a lighter note with a couples’ game that lifted everyone’s mood and brought energy back into the Love Pad after a day full of tension. One question lingered across the Love Pad as the episode wrapped up: has Heartbeat’s resident playboy finally fallen in love?

The new fashion interview show, The Fashion Roundtable, hosted by media personality, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, will premiere exclusively on YouTube on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

The programme will unearth the real, unfiltered conversations with the key players shaping Nigeria’s fashion industry.

The show will feature a powerful lineup of guests, including celebrity stylists Swazzi & Zack Aminu, model Ruth Vader, men’s footwear designer Kiing Davids, creative designers, Nkiru Achukwu of Zephans & Co, Morenike Olusanya of Bawsty, Aanuoluwa Ajide-Daniels of Aso and a host of other notable fashion entrepreneurs and industry players.

The host intends to look beyond the glitz and glamour, providing an intimate space for designers, models, and stylists to share their true behind-the-scenes stories.

The Fashion Roundtable is a direct response to the global attention Nigerian fashion is currently receiving, providing an essential platform to document the industry’s complexities.

Each episode features guests who discuss how they started, the significant challenges they face, how they recovered from failures, and how they financed their businesses. The series is committed to giving a voice to all parts of the fashion ecosystem, not just the designers.

“I created The Fashion Roundtable because I wanted a space to have real, honest conversations with the people who are shaping Nigeria’s fashion industry.

“We often only see the finished product, the beautiful outfits, but we rarely hear from the people behind the scenes about the work that goes into the process. Nigerian fashion is getting so much attention globally, and now feels like the perfect time to share these voices and their stories,” Olateru-Olagbegi said.

Before Season 4: The Characters Who Shaped the Rise and Fall of Wura

Power has shifted, loyalties have been tested, and secrets are no longer buried. As Wura returns for Season 4, before the next chapter unfolds, it’s the perfect moment to revisit the characters whose ambition, secrets, and rivalries have driven the series’ gripping tale of power and consequence. Here are the characters who have shaped the story so far from Season 1 -3.

Mrs Adeleke (Wura)

The boss lady, ruthless CEO of Frontline Gold Mine and the woman at the centre of it all.

Wura built her empire on carefully buried secrets and ruthless decisions. Anyone who threatened her power in the last seasons was silenced, and every move she made was calculated to keep her throne intact.

But power built without mercy eventually demands payment. In the end, Wura’s world collapsed when she discovered the most devastating truth of all: the daughter she had killed in her quest to protect her secrets was actually her own. Faced with the weight of her actions, she pulled the trigger on herself, leaving behind a legacy of power, destruction, and unanswered questions.

Tumininu (Tumi)

Tumi’s journey began with a simple mission: find the truth about her father. What followed was a dangerous path filled with lies, betrayals, and powerful enemies.

Determined and fearless, Tumi chased every clue and confronted the darkest secrets surrounding her family. But the biggest revelation came too late, the woman she had grown to hate the most was the one who gave birth to her.

In her pursuit of justice, Tumi paid the ultimate price. Sometimes the truth costs everything.

Jeje

Jeje was the man caught between two worlds.

Husband to Tumi, yet deeply connected to Wura’s shadowy reality.

For a long time, he carried dangerous truths that could destroy everything. When Jeje finally revealed that Wura was responsible for Tumi’s father’s death, it set off a chain reaction that neither love nor loyalty could stop. His confession changed the course of every life connected to the Frontline empire.

Mr Adeleke

A respected man sworn to fight crime and uphold justice. Yet the greatest criminal in his life was the woman he loved, Wura.

Mr Adeleke shared a home with Wura, blind to the darkness hiding in plain sight. Even as the signs became impossible to ignore, his love for her clouded his judgment.

It raises a haunting question: how do you police an entire city, yet fail to see the truth inside your own home?

Iyabo

Iyabo was the quiet force that kept the family together until one truth shattered everything.

Without warning, she revealed the secret that changed the entire story: Tumi was not her biological daughter. No preparation. No gentle explanation. Just a truth that landed like a storm in a fragile family. Family secrets destroy everyone.

As Wura launches its Season 4 this March, the story moves beyond the secrets. With the truth now exposed and the consequences still unfolding, the next chapter promises new power struggles, shifting loyalties, and choices that change everything.

In Wura’s world, the past never stays buried, and the next season may prove that the real battle is only just beginning.
