Singer Teni Gives Stern Warning To People Always Begging Her For Money
Teni has issued serious warning to the people that her begging her money. She said they should apply ‘conscience’ in doing so and they should also have ‘fear of God’.
The singer took to her Instagram page on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, calling out those that are begging her money, that she has jokingly described as ‘Beggars Association’.”She urged them to turn a new leaf and desist from the act of begging all the time.
She wrote on her Instagram page: “Beggars Association of Nigeria, who be una president? I need to talk to your president because Una no get conscience again, Una no fear God.”
“You go beg pesin for money 3 days ago, come back again two days later to ask again. Am I your mother or father? Did they write your name on my head? Una no dey fear God? Fear God o, beggars association, it’s not good.”
Teni complained bitterly about how the ‘beggars’ lack compassionate consideration for her personal welfare. She said they have even started requesting monetary help to be rendered in foreign currencies. They no longer want to deal with naira currency.
In her words: “They would call and not even ask ‘how you dey, how’s your life, are you okay?’. They don’t care. Now they don’t even ask for naira again o, na USD and pounds they ask for. Be careful o, even God sef you go ask am and he go tell you make you wait. I’m not God, we’re all human o!”
In July 2023, in a similar situation, legendary Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze, a.k.a Aki, also took to his Instagram page to lament about different messages he was receiving from people begging for money online.

If I open my DM every time all I see is ‘oga, bros please…please… please…’ Jesus! It is too much. The way you guys dey beg this thing na like say we no get responsibility.”
He also said that they should stop asking him for money every time.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
