Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, has said that the contributions of United Kingdom-based legal practitioner and rights activist, Mrs Alice Ukoko, especially to the fight against harmful cultural practices against women in Africa are etched firmly in the sands of time.

Reacting on Monday to the reported death of the founder of ‘Women of Afrika’ charity in a London hospital on Saturday, November 19, 2016, Okowa noted that her contributions, particularly to the fight against female circumcision, otherwise referred to as female genital mutilation, as well as “her commitment to the empowerment of the women of Africa” stood her out in bold relief as a great African woman.

Ukoko’s “vision for the future of women in the Africa Diaspora and around the World” was outstanding, the governor further noted in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Charles Aniagwu.

She created and directed the drama, “The African Maiden”, to draw attention to the irreversible damage certain cultural beliefs and practices do to the African girl-child.

Ukoko, who hailed from Uzere in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, was an activist for women’s rights and political liberation.

A one-time governorship aspirant in Delta State, her activism saw her being featured as a guest on several radio and television programmes, especially in the Uk.

“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I mourn the exit of the iconic Mrs Alice Ukoko who fought against harmful traditional practices against women and the girl-child”, Aniagwu quoted Okowa as saying.

Even God Loves Attention – Moesha Boduong

Controversial actress Moesha Boduong has hit back at critics of her attention-seeking antics on social media with a featured verse on poet/songwriter Nenebi’s song released last Friday, September 2nd.
The Amakye and Dede actress, who gained notoriety for flaunting her big butts on photo-sharing platform Instagram rhetorically asked, “You call me an attention whore, isn’t our attention what even God is fighting for?” in the second verse of the song aptly titled Me, My Selfie and Eyes also featuring another controversial celebrity, musician Mzbel.
Nenebi, himself not immune to controversies, mostly over his costume choices like wearing boxer shorts on stage for his performance on DKB’s Point of View and going on Angel TV with just towel wrapped around his waist, set the tone for the 3:31-minute long song with a stunning verse.
He touched on double standards with lyrics like, “The old woman spits with spite at the young man with tattoo marks while forcing on her grandchild tribal marks.

”
He also spoke on selective appreciation with the religious innuendo, “We love Jesus and hate Judas Iscariot but without him, He won’t be coming for us in his chariot. The prophets said the Messiah will be sold. Who would had, if Judas’ feet were cold.”
In a fun-sounding chorus to the song, which had her in career prima mood, Mzbel flaunted her selfie skills, “Alone in the bathroom, camera on the mirror, I’m about to let the world know how pretty I am.”
The Ada-based spoken word artist set the scene for Moesha’s verse with lyrics trumpeting his love for girls flaunting their goodies on social media.
Moesha responded with lyrics that sounded like direct hit back to almost every criticism labeled against her “flaunting her goodies”.
Her spoken word verse is littered with surprisingly beautiful poetic gems like, “Don’t crave attention, earn admiration. But how can I earn admiration without first attention?” Just like no camera can capture every angle in one shot, no one mind can have a full pic of how life should be.”
