Miss Nengi Bie
Brown last week emerged winner of the maiden edition of LAWSAN beauty pageant organised by the Law Students Association of Nigeria (LAWSAN) Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) Nkpolu Port Harcourt Chapter.
Nengi, a 200 level law student of the University who hails from Opobo Town in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area of Rivers State defeated other contestants to emerge the winner of the coveted crown and was crowned the LAWSAN queen before the crowd of guests who witnessed the event.
In her Vote of Thanks shortly after the historic event, the 20 years old beauty queen thanked all those who contributed in making the event a huge success, particularly, the University community, her friends and well wishers in the law faculty for their love and encouragement as well as other personalities that witnessed the event. She promised to live up to their expectations.
She also appreciated the various groups and personalities who indicated interest to host her. She, however, stated that she intends to pay a courtesy visit no the amiable and hard working governor of the state, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike who is also a Lawyer as well as charity homes in the state.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Editor (Daily), Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC) Port Harcourt, Donald Mike Jaja, has joined other family members and friends in congratulating the queen. According to him, beauty is a thing of joy forever.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
