Tekno Risks Two Years Jail For Dancing With Strippers In Public …Apologises To Nigerians
Nigerian musician, Augustine Kelechi popularly known as Tekno and four others may be prosecuted and sentenced to two years imprisonment for shooting a music video publicly with strippers dancing seductively in a truck.
On Friday, August 2, 2019, Tekno was seen around the Lekki Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos, dancing with semi clad women, spraying them with money and spanking their buttocks in a truck. The act contravenes section 136 of the criminal law of Lagos State 2015.
The section provides that any person that commits any act of gross indecency with another person in public commits an offence and liable to a conviction to three years imprisonment. Section 134 (a) further states that an indecent act in a public place makes both parties engaging in the act liable to imprisonment for two years.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Signature and Advert Agency (LASSAA) has suspended license of Provision Media System Limited, the advertising agency whose display truck was used to shoot the video. In a statement signed by its Chief Executive Office Mobolaji Sanusi, the agency said the suspension of the advertising agency would subsist until the completion of the investigation.
LASSA further said after concluding its investigation in the matter, the full weight of the law as enshrined in the agency’s extant laws would be meted out to the company owning this erring outdoor mobile truck.
Meanwhile, Tekno has apologized to Nigerians over the controversial video in which he was seen with half clad strippers dancing seductively in a truck in the streets. He took to his intagram to tender an unreserved apology to everyone who felt offended by the video.
He said he loves to shoot his video in Lagos and he did not intend to offend anyone with the viral video of him and the strippers dancing in public.
Critics claimed that her body makeover was one of the reasons she allegedly left the marriage and noted that she was still out in public with the video of her club outing.
Reacting to the allegations, Ogbodo came to Bambam’s defence. She stated that no woman would leave her marriage simply because she went under the knife. According to her, it is the man who drives a woman to leave.
The mother of three further explained that no woman willingly leaves a marriage she has invested in over many years. If a woman does leave, it is the man’s fault, possibly due to abuse that she chooses not to disclose publicly.
She added that a man must have shown the woman disrespect or failed to nurture the marriage.
Ogbodo emphasised that if a man refuses to love, protect, and give peace to his wife, the responsibility for the breakdown rests entirely with him.
It would be recalled that Uche Ogbodo also recently underwent cosmetic surgery and shared videos with her fans online,
The actress had remained on the lips of many Nigerians following her role in the trending movie Love in Every Word.

”I want to talk about something rampant, has been rampant, and is still rampant. I just want to ask those of you who show up uninvited at events and parties, what’s your purpose? What do you aim to achieve? Then, those of you who receive a card that admits only one person and invite all your village people, don’t check with the host; you pack your people and come. What are you doing there? Why don’t you respect yourself and stay away? It’s rude, you’re a gate crasher. Respect yourself enough to stay away from places you aren’t invited to,” she said.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled dates for both the 99th Academy Awards and its landmark 100th ceremony. The back-to-back events, set for 2027 and 2028, will mark the final years of the Oscars airing on longtime broadcast partner ABC before a major shift to YouTube.
The 99th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 14, 2027, followed by the historic 100th edition on Sunday, March 5, 2028. Both ceremonies will broadcast live at 7 p.m. ET from the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and reach audiences in over 200 territories worldwide. Looking ahead, the Academy has also confirmed a venue change, with the ceremony set to move to the Peacock Theater beginning in 2029, where it will remain through 2039.
The Tide Entertainment reports that the announcement comes amid a shifting broadcast landscape. ABC is gearing up for a packed 2027 schedule, including its debut as the home of the Grammy Awards and its first Super Bowl broadcast in over two decades. Meanwhile, this year’s Oscars telecast saw a dip in viewership, drawing 17.86 million viewers across ABC and Hulu, a 9% decline from the previous year’s five-year high.
Still, excitement around the awards remains strong. The most recent ceremony crowned Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” as Best Picture, while early buzz for the upcoming season is already building. Anticipated contenders include the Ryan Gosling-led “Project Hail Mary,” Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Digger” featuring Tom Cruise.
No hosts have been announced yet for either ceremony, adding another layer of anticipation to the milestone events.
In addition to confirming the ceremony dates, the Academy also released its full calendar for the 2026–2027 awards season, outlining key milestones from the eligibility period beginning January 1, 2026, to nominations voting in January 2027, and final voting in early March.
