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.

A Nigerian actress, Temitope Osoba, fondly called Tope Osoba by her fans, has reportedly passed away.
She died barely a year after she survived a battle with breast cancer, reports say.
The 41-year-old entertainer left the acting world to cater to her health, but returned shortly after she had a successful treatment in 2025.
The movie producer, however, has not been very active in the past months, ostensibly due to her health.
Her demise has come as a shock to some of her colleagues and admirers, as she was very lively during her lifetime.
Details about the unfortunate incident, which became known to her fans on Wednesday morning, have not been given by her family.
The first official voting of Big Brother Naija Season 11 is here, and fans have the power to decide who stays in the House and who leaves the competition.
After a week of getting to know the housemates, watching alliances form and seeing personalities emerge, this is where fans move from watching the game to influencing it. If you’ve been thinking about voting, here are five reasons why now is the time.
1. This Is the Season’s First Real Eviction
First evictions are always significant. They set the tone for the weeks ahead, reshape the House and often change the direction of the game. Viewers hold the power to change the trajectory of the game as they influence who continues their BBN journey and who the first set of housemates to leave are.
2. It’s Too Early to Lose Someone You Enjoy Watching
You may not have settled on a favourite housemate yet, and that’s perfectly normal. It’s only the first eviction. But if there’s someone you’ve enjoyed watching over the past week, this is your chance to help keep them in the House. Waiting until you’ve picked a favourite could mean losing a housemate you wish had stayed a little longer.
3. Every Vote Shapes the Competition
Who stays and who leaves affects everything from alliances and rivalries to tasks and strategies. The decisions viewers make this week will have an impact on how the game unfolds in the coming weeks.
4. Online Buzz Doesn’t Keep Housemates in the House
A housemate may trend all week, but that doesn’t automatically translate into safety. At the end of the day, it’s the votes that determine who survives eviction.
5. Don’t Leave It to Someone Else
It’s easy to assume other fans will do the voting, but every vote contributes to the final result. If there’s a housemate you’d like to see remain in the competition, this is your opportunity to back them.

After days of anticipation, Flora and Aikou have been confirmed as this season’s Gambits after receiving the highest number of votes from viewers. This was revealed during Sunday’s live show, where host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the pair as the viewers’ choices.
Introduced as a brand-new twist for Season 11, The Gambit guarantees two selected housemates a place in the House until the final day. Although they will participate in tasks and House activities throughout the season, they will not be eligible to compete for the grand prize.
Sunday’s live show also marked the end of the Ladies-versus-Gentlemen format that defined the opening weeks of the competition. With the teams officially dissolved, the housemates will now compete as individuals.
Biggie also unveiled this week’s wager task, Game On, challenging the housemates to define the identity of Season 11. Through a creative presentation incorporating elements such as a logo, slogan, song, artwork and props, the housemates have been tasked with capturing what they believe this edition of Big Brother Naija should stand for and how they want it to be remembered.
The excitement continues today with the second Head of House Challenge at 2:00 p.m., where housemates will once again battle for power in the House. This will be followed by this week’s nomination show at 7:00 p.m., when viewers will find out who will become the first set of housemates to face possible eviction.
With Flora and Aikou’s fate in the House secured till the last day and the housemates now playing as individuals, the stakes have never been higher as the battle for the grand prize gathers momentum.
