 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities. He also noted he was leaving the venue early due to jet lag from traveling between Europe and the U.S. to support Williams’ tennis comeback.  While he expressed r...

 Tinubu’s daughter to traders: There’s no protest in Lagos… don’t let your children get killed

   

Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has asked traders in Lagos state to deter their children from joining the planned nationwide protest.


Tinubu-Ojo, who is the Iyaloja-general of Lagos, urged the women to ensure that their children stay at home, adding that the state government has made significant progress in enriching the lives of the people.


Citing the #EndSARS protest, Tinubu-Ojo said people are yet to recover from the losses incurred during the protest in 2020.


“Let’s tell ourselves, family, and children that there is nothing like protest in Lagos. It is a gimmick to destroy the country,” she said on Saturday at Dosunmu market.


“Look at what they did during the last protest (#EndSARS), look at how they burnt government properties. Can you see that they are fighting against us?


“Don’t allow any political party to give money to some persons to fight. Don’t allow our children to get killed during the process.


“Look at the ShopRite at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Sangotedo, Lekki. Those businesses that were destroyed… have the owners recovered from their losses?


“I’m begging you in the name of God, let’s talk to ourselves and our children that there is nothing like protest in Lagos state because the government of Lagos state is making us proud.


“They (Lagos government) are making us happy. They gave us a sense of belonging.”


The president’s daughter said the federal government should be allowed to spend three years in office before being criticised.


“The federal government recently assumed office. Before you say a government is not doing well, let it spend three years in office,” she said.


“Let everyone tell their children at home to remain calm.”


The proposed youth-led nationwide protest is slated to commence on August 1.


The federal and state governments, including President Bola Tinubu, have appealed to the youths to shelve the protest.


Religious and traditional institutions have equally called for the cancellation of the planned demonstration.
