Former big brother reality show contestant, Anto Lecky, reveals how parents raised them like children living in Nigeria despite being brought in the U.S according to her recent interview with Punch.

Read her interview with Punch below...

Background

I am from a Muslim home and I was raised in the United States of America. My parents practically raised us like children living in Nigeria, though we enjoyed the social amenities in America. We ate Nigerian food, knelt down to greet elders and bathed with buckets. We were guarded when it came to the friends we kept and our parents made sure we didn’t take our studies lightly. I have four siblings – three girls and a boy. I am the third child. My parents are from Edo State.

Education

Thanks to my Nigerian parents and their focus on education. I was considered a gifted and talented student from when I was little. For my university education, I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I studied Exercise and Sports Science. I got a Master from the DeVos Sports Business Management Programme at the University of Central Florida. I graduated with dual master’s degrees – Master of Business Administration and Master of Sports Business Management.

Childhood ambitions

Growing up, I thought I would become a surgeon. However, I got involved in sports in high school and I fell in love with it. Though I still went to the university with the intention to read medicine, I fully changed my mind once I started taking “those difficult” science courses. I decided to study sports because I was a fan and sport in America has always been a big business. But over the years, I realised that sport is one of the few things on earth that can connect people of diverse backgrounds. People’s love for sport is what we need in all facets of life.

Parental support

I think my parents would have preferred that I studied medicine. Years after getting my masters, my dad would still bring up the issue of medical school. But now, my dad usually jokes that I have made more money in my short career than he has in all his years of working.

BBN

Big Brother Naija changed my life for the better. But it is annoying when people, who don’t know me, talk about me. I don’t regret taking part in the show but I do miss my days as a salary earner at times. The joy of being paid every month is exciting, but there is nothing like being your own boss. The greatest thing I learnt in BBNaija was that I could relate with people younger than me. Many people in the house were like my younger siblings. I still hang out with them like friends and I don’t have to play the big sister role unless it’s needed. Given a chance to go back to the house, I wouldn’t have done anything differently except taking home the grand prize. I could have been wilder or more reserved but it wouldn’t have necessarily made me win the prize. I’m now winning in life and that’s the most important thing.

Current projects

I hope to work on bigger and better projects that would increase my earnings. I plan to do more work outside of Nigeria to expose our country to the world. Since I left BBN, I’ve been living my best life, trying my hands on all my dreams and seeing what works best for me. I’ve been acting, modelling, hosting and changing the world.

Controversy

Since I don’t know the lady (TV personality, Shade Ladipo) who said I would be forgotten soon, I’m not worried about her opinion. People were more insulted by her comment than I was. Let’s just hope she never needs me for anything in the future because I can be very petty.

Role models

I love Genevieve Nnaji because she is classic and timeless. She has been in the industry for years and she is still loved by many. She is also a silent achiever; she is doing her best to put Nigeria on the international scene.

Also, I met Toke Makinwa recently and I admire how she is focused on her business and life. Regardless of what people may think or say about her, she does what makes her happy.

Personality

Most times, I would rather keep to myself. But when it’s time to have fun, I take part as well. I’m very focused on my personal growth and happiness. I am not bothered about the opinions people have of me.

Relationship

I am a private person when it comes to my relationship. I like people to respect that.

Relaxation

This is something I struggle with. I love to read but sometimes, reading feels like a chore. I would love to visit the beach every week, but I have lots of things ahead of me.

Fashion

I wear what I like. I love T-shirts and jeans, but I don’t mind rocking a beautiful gown when the need arises.

Singer turned pastor, Soul E’s ex-wife, Queen Ure has revealed the shocking reason her second marriage lasted barely one year.

Reacting to the death of a man who killed himself because his wife left him, banker and singer, Ure wrote;

“He committed suicide because his wife left him! I wish he had tried to look at the situation a bit differently. I don’t know what you’re going through right now but truly there’s always something good in every ugly situation.

Most of you saw my wedding photos barely a year ago, I was happy, I thought that finally God had answered my prayers, a widowed pastor with 4 very young lovely kids, so Wifey and Mummy all at once.

I packed all my load and relocated to Gwagwalada. We didn’t date, I took the chance based on recommendation as I was 45 going to 46.

’The guy showed me nwii as in, if not that my father drummed it in my ear that I’m a Queen, I would have thought I was an outcast, every month he would tell me to pack my things and go that I’m not submissive, that a good wife will submit all her money and her body. I was submitting the body o but he wanted the thing everyday.

I was not submitting the money but I was willingly and generously looking after everyone as he didn’t have any source of income. (The Church was new). You’re wondering why I would marry a man with 4 children that doesn’t have shishi?

The good values we were brought up with hasn’t left us, some of us still believe in love and small beginnings, I wasn’t desperate not at all. Anyway onye awusa chirim onu n’ala and finally “broke the marriage” when I insisted I wouldn’t make him a director of my company nor a signatory to the account yet.

He may not be such a terrible man just a man with a different view of marriage from mine. This was my 2nd marriage. I will now come and kill myself?

‘To say that I’m not heart broken I’ll be lying but to think that is the end of the world mbanu, for what? Instead of suicide, I’ll kukuma do wedding number 3. I turned 47 last August …no child, no husband, doesn’t sound good but I’m alive and healthy, that’s a testimony.

For the records I never cheated on him, never contemplated it.”

Veteran actor, Dele Odule, believes that there are many actors in Nollywood who really have no business being in the industry. Baring his mind on actors who often flaunt material possessions on social media, Odule told Sunday Scoop, “People like that are not in the business because they have passion for it. They are just looking for where to make ends meet. A trained actor will never run after material wealth.

I am not saying that acting cannot open doors; it actually does. However, a true actor will take material things as secondary; the priority is to get your message across to the viewers. The problem we are facing is that the industry is not sanitised. If there was a standard, many of those people you see who are all about flaunting material things on social media wouldn’t be in the industry. What is the essence of going on social media to flaunt cars and other items? You would see many actresses dancing around on social media; even when they get pregnant, they flaunt it. Buying a car shouldn’t be a big deal but they make it seem as if it is.”

Commenting on the effect such acts would have on young ones, Dele said, “They are passing a wrong message to the young ones out there who will have a warped impression of the industry.”

Drawing a line between following politicians for pecuniary gains and for the good of the country, the former TAMPAN president said, “Somebody who is serious-minded and creative would not run after any politician. That is not to say that actors don’t have the constitutional right to follow whoever they like.

However, you have to follow rightly. You have to know the reason you are following the person. (Hubert) Ogunde followed Awolowo and we all know that the latter was a politician who did a lot for his people. But now, actors just follow politicians because of money. I don’t really like to talk about this because some people may feel that I am talking this way because I have not had the privilege to mingle with such people. I have the opportunity but my passion for the industry is beyond unnecessary things.”

http://gistmore.com/fatima-dwarf-model-says-height-not-a-challenge-pictures

Fatima Timbo, a four-feet model, says dwarfism poses no challenge to her hence, she would not allow negativity to define her.

The 21 year old British model spoke to bbcnews recently about building her confidence as well as her work in inspiring others to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Timbo said she would not allow negative comments get to her or stop her from promoting body positivity for people with dwarfism.

“I won’t be defined by my height,” she says.

Timbo says she can’t change the way she looks or what people say about her – but she has changed the way she looks at herself.

She said modelling boosted her confidence, and now she wants to inspire others to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Timbo who is also a finance trainee, revealed that after being bullied throughout high school, she learned to finally accept her condition and in 2017, she kick-started her modelling career.

She has more than thirty-one thousand followers on instagram, says it has been difficult for her to have a relationship.

She was later spotted by some reality TV producers and was offered a slot on the popular British reality show, `The Undateables’.

Timbo admitted that she felt that her height had no limit and as such the sky was her limit, has already built lots of fan base for herself as a budding Instagram model.

Timbo happens to be the only one suffering from the condition in her family.

Dwarfism is a medical or genetic condition that causes someone to be considerably shorter than an average-sized man or woman.

The average height of an adult with dwarfism is 4 feet, but dwarfism could apply to an adult who is 4’10” or shorter.

The term “short stature” is often preferred over “dwarfism” or “dwarf.”

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie, are divorcing.

Bezos, 54, made this announcement on Twitter. He said he and his wife had been through a trial separation and have now decided to end their 25-year marriage.

Bezos said the divorce is amicable and they are grateful for the years they have been married to each other. He said they will remain a family and stay "cherished friends".

He also adds: "If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again."

Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. He and McKenzie own a total of 400,000 acres of property, making them 2 of the biggest landholders in the country. They have 4 children together.

The couple got married in 1993 long before Bezos became rich. He actually became a millionaire in 1997. They live in Washington, which is a community property state. That means any assets accrued during the marriage are split 50/50, unless there's a prenup.

Amazon is now the most valuable company on the planet ... worth nearly $810 BILLION!

Below is his divorce announcement shared on Twitter.

Veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, is unarguably one of the best that the silver screen has seen in recent times.

She speaks with Punch about her career, marriage and other issues.

Excerpts

Do you sometimes regret acting ‘wicked’ roles in movies?

Any actor worth his salt should be able to deliver on whatever role he or she is given to play. For people to be so affected by the roles I have played means that I did a good job in interpreting the characters I was given.

However, I wouldn’t like to pass wrong messages to anyone through my movies.

Don’t you feel stereotyped at times?

If you study my career, you will realise that I have played a lot of roles over the years. However, the ones where I act as a strict or vocal person are the ones that have been more popular. I guess that’s what people like.

However, I always strive to strike a balance and I don’t act just one type of role.

Some people feel you are able to act as a wicked mother-in-law so well because you are one in real life. Is that really so?

Nothing can be farther from the truth. I am a simple person who doesn’t like to interfere in other people’s lives.

Sometimes, I cry when I watch some of the movies I acted in. I am nothing like that and you can never see me where wicked acts are being perpetuated. If anybody close to me does something wrong, I will not shield the person. Like I have said several times, I am an actress and every character I have ever played ended on the set.

You got married at a young age. In what ways did that experience impact on your growth as a person?

I believe firmly that everything that happens to a person is ordained by God. You may not understand why you’re going through certain situations but as you grow older, you will recognise the hand of God in your life.

Truly, I got married at a young age due to the bidding of my parents. At that age, marriage wasn’t what was on my mind but I had to go into it to make my parents happy. It was a combination of good and bad times but I thank God because that experience really built me as a person and taught me a lot. It made me more mature. As a young girl going into marriage, I didn’t have it rosy at that point because I didn’t understand many things. At the time I got married to my husband, I had a lot of suitors vying for my hands in marriage but I had to go with my parents’ choice.

However, my late husband was a good man and he took care of his family.

Why do you think your parents made that choice for you?

The question would be best answered by them.

Your late husband was sick for sometime before he passed. How did you cope then?

It wasn’t really a palatable experience and I don’t like to recollect it. However, God was able to get us through. Living with someone who is ill could be very challenging because you have to do many things on your own. At times, it could be frustrating but one would keep hoping that the sick person gets better. When he finally died, I felt very bitter but I could not question God. Recall that I was also quite young at the time.

After you got born again, you changed your style of dressing and advocated same for others. Considering that people have criticised you for that, how do you feel?

I did not advocate anything for anybody. We all have our lives to live and we have different relationships with God. That I decide to dress in a particular way doesn’t mean everybody else has to do the same. The important thing is to be decent at all times.

What will Nigerians find surprising to know about you?

I am very soft-hearted and I cry easily. However, I believe in facing whatever is at hand squarely and doing a good job. Even if I will cry later, I could do that in my closet.

How do you like to dress?

I dress simply and comfortably.
