Daughter of billionaire businessman and known Disc Jockey, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, while still celebrating the Ferrari cars her father, Femi Otedola, bought for her and her two other sisters said they were still single.

“We are both single” – DJ Cuppy reveals relationship status of she and her sister, Tolani

The daughters of the billionaire who got the whole of Africa talking about his wealth, Femi Otedola, have revealed that they are both single and free. Probably this is an opportunity for any man who would want to cruise in their Ferrari, their father just bought for them earlier in the week.

She made this known while responding to tweets which were triggered by her disclosure of her father buying Ferraris for her and her two sisters.

When asked who she and her sister are dating, DJ Cuppy wrote in response; “We’re both single, LMAO”

Recall that Otedola, Nigerian businessman and father to popular entertainer, Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola (DJ Cuppy), has spoilt his three daughters with a Ferrari Portofino each.

The 57-year old philanthropist took his three kids shopping and bought the cars.

According to Edmunds, the least-expensive 2019 Ferrari Portofino is the 2019 Ferrari Portofino 2dr Convertible (3.9L 8cyl Turbo 7 AM). Including destination charge, it arrives with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of about $210,783.

AutoGuide gives a retail price of $215,000 for 2020 Portofino, the most basic of the Ferrari brands.

In naira (Nigerian currency) terms the cost will be between N240 and N251 million at the official exchange rate of N387 to a dollar. In the parallel market at N465 to a dollar, it means the billionaire has spent about N300 million on the gifts to his daughters.

Cuppy flaunted the cars on Twitter in a post that read “Papa took us shopping and bought one of each! #FerrariPortofino  #CuppyDat.”

The cars came with customized plate numbers.

News of the gifts has ignited a frenzy on Twitter, especially with Cuppy hinting the Ferrari may be the theme for a new song.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you… Cuppy in a rarri! Two heartsCupcake Skrrrr skrrrr!”

Davido, in a retweet, wrote: Congrats cuppy …. fire fire I will do the same for my daughters one day AMEN .. chai money good”.

Nigerian Main Opposition Party Hails US’s Visa Ban On Country’s Election Riggers

The main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria has commended the United States Government on its fresh Visa Ban on Nigerian election riggers those undermining the country’s democracy.Recall that on Monday, the American Government came down hard on Nigerian, handing visa ban on those rigging the country’s elections, particularly the election in Logo and Bayelsa states. 

The party, which also urged the United States to also invite the European Union as well as other nations, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, to impose similar sanctions on electoral violators, who are bent on destroying the democracy, enjoined the United States Department of State to include family members and assets of such anti-democratic agents who have destroyed the credibility of the electoral.
PDP, in a statement, by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, demanded an extension of the ban to the families as well as confiscation of assets of such individuals to serve as a stronger deterrents to protect innocent Nigerians who are left to bear the brunt of the misdeed of such unpatriotic persons.
“This visa ban, if taken across the globe,  would be a final warning to the leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as compromised security and INEC officials, being used by the APC to perpetrate electoral violence and manipulations.


“It is instructive to note that this announcement by the US, which reinforces the determination for resistance in Nigeria, is also an unambiguous cautionary to the sacked national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, the APC governorship candidates in Edo, Osagie Ize-Iyamu and his Ondo counterpart, Rotimi Akeredolu, over their plots to use violence to undermine the sanctity of the Edo and Ondo state governorship elections.


“Our party asserts that the position of the US Department of State is a confirmation that 2019 general elections, the November 2019 Kogi governorship election, as well as other elections under the Buhari regime were massively rigged with unrestrained violence against the people and rampant manipulations by the APC and their compromised security agents.
“The world is aware of how our compatriots were killed and maimed in Kano and various parts of our nation in the 2019 elections; how collation of results was compromised by relations of APC candidates and how compromised security operatives were used to frustrate the will of the people. 

“Without saying, Nigerians know the individuals who unleashed violence to rig the November 2019 Kogi state governorship election; who deployed thugs and security agents to shoot and kill voters, cart away ballot boxes, used police helicopter to fire tear gas on Nigerians, burnt an innocent woman, Mrs. Salome Abuh, alive, altered election result figures to make themselves winners,” it said.


The PDP said that the US ban is a firm support to its stiff resistance to plots by Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu, who have been overheating the polity in Edo state.
The party said that Nigerians know the faces of INEC and security officials used as political mercenaries to manipulate elections in Kogi, Ekiti, Osun, and other states, adding,  “our party vehemently rejects the deployment of same individuals to Edo and Ondo.
“The presence of such persons is an invitation to the crisis as the people of Edo and Ondo will use every means available and allowed in a democracy to resist them.
“Our party charges INEC and all security agencies to note that the world is watching and as such strive to act by the rules, knowing that a shameful end awaits those who undermine the will of the people.”
The PDP, in commending the United States, urges Nigerians, particularly in Edo and Ondo state to remain at alert and strengthen their resolve by voting and firmly defending their votes from the polling and collation centers to the final declaration of results, with the determination to unbridle the instrument of resistance to anybody, anybody at all, who attempts to undermine their will at any level of the process
