Hilda Baci Defends Her Dress Sense, Hints On Next Steps

Popular chef and world record breaker, Hilda Baci, has appealed to Nigerians to see beyond her dressing but to project her ingenuity and doggedness to place Nigeria on the global map.

Baci said this in reaction to the wide criticisms of her dressing that erupted after her rise to fame for attempting to break the world record in cooking.

Recall that the 27-year-old chef came to the limelight following her attempt to break the world record by cooking continuously for 100 hours.

Afterwards, a number of her past pictures revealing her curves started surfacing on the Internet, a development which has since stirred mixed reactions on her personality traits.

The Akwa Ibom-born chef while addressing the media in Lagos on Thursday defended her dress -sense, saying that one can look sexy and still be a game changer.

She said, “I don’t have to be dressed like a nun to make it in life. One can be sexy and still amazing, beautiful, and smart. I shouldn’t be taken back because of my looks or dressing as this does not determine my values or endowment.”

The young chap pleaded with the society to allow young women look and become themselves without condemnation, adding that “I’ve volunteered myself to say I slay and I have something up in the brain.”

Baci, who still awaits her official validation by the Guinness Book of Records, expressed optimism about her confirmation, stressing that her record has been validated, while she only looks forward to her certificate.

“We complied with all the guidelines and never left any stone unturned. We didn’t fall short in any area and this is quite evident and clear. The cook-a-thon is a deliberate attempt and not a child’s play. Our preparations were robust, hence I don’t expect to be disappointed”

Revealing her next line of action, the world record breaker said she looked forward to propagating Nigerian recipes globally, expanding her restaurant and to enlarge the narratives of Nigerian Culinary space.

She disclosed however that embarking on her next step remained a source of anxiety for her.

She said, “By expanding my business, I want to create jobs and contribute meaningfully to the economy. I’m anticipating a situation where the earnings of chefs in Nigeria will be as competitive as employees in the oil company.

“I feel the culinary space is under-rated, I want to change the narratives. I intend to work with a lot of brands to add value to their customers and brands towards their sustainability.”

She also expressed gratitude to her team and Nigerian brands that stood by her to make the project a reality and worthwhile.

Love Doesn’t Dishonour Others To Make 1 Happy”- Davido’s Babymama Larissa Says

It seems like the recent birthday celebration of Chef Chi by ace singer Davido has stirred the emotions of his other babymamas including Larissa London

Larissa London, one of the baby mamas of ace Afrobeat singer, Davido stirred reactions online with some comments she shared on her page as she talks about her ideal man.

The makeup artist also talked about the type of man that is her perfect spec. Larrisa noted that she loves soft men, a proper lover boy ready to die for her.

Larissa also further talked about the different attributes of love and why it is wrong to dishonour other women to please another.

These statements come from the UK-based make-up artist just days after Davido went all out to celebrate Chioma on her 28-year-old birthday.

Larissa, in another comment, noted that love is patient and kind and does not envy nor boast. As she preached about love, Larissa also noted that love always protects, perseveres, gives hope, and does not delight in evil.

Just like Larissa, another of Davido’s baby mamas Sophia Momodu also reacted and shared a post on Instagram for the first time in a while, hours after the singer had celebrated Chef Chi and reassured her that his love for her was forever.

Plusvalenza: Italy's Appeal Court Hit Juve With 10-Point Deduction In Serie A

The old lady will host AC Milan at the Allianz Arena on Friday, before the last game of the season at the Stadio Friulli in Udine.

Juventus have been docked 10 points in a new ruling by the Italian football federation’s appeals court after an investigation into the club’s transfer dealings.

The decision sees Juventus drop from second place (69 points) to seventh in the Serie A (59 points), making it highly unlikely they will reach the Champions League.

Juventus were handed a 15-point penalty in January, while several members of its former board were also given bans from football activities, including former president Andrea Agnelli. 

The points deduction was suspended last month on an appeal to the country’s highest sports court within the Italian Olympic Committee and referred back to the football federation’s appeals court for a new trial. 

During a three-hour hearing on Monday, federation prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné requested an 11-point penalty for Juventus. He had asked for nine back in January. Chiné also requested eight-month bans for seven former Juventus directors, including Pavel Nedvěd, but they were cleared on Monday. Agnelli and three others had their appeals rejected last month.

The Juventus board resigned en masse in November following an investigation by Turin public prosecutors into alleged false bookkeeping. A trial was then re-opened based on information from the Turin prosecutors, leading to the points deduction. Juventus had initially been cleared by the sports court the previous April.

The prosecutors in Turin have also charged Juventus, Agnelli and 11 others with false communications by a company listed publicly on the Milan stock exchange, obstructing watchdog agencies, false billing and market manipulation.

Juventus’ legal troubles deepened still further last week after the Italian football federation also charged the club and seven former team directors with alleged fraud for the way they handled player salary cuts during the coronavirus pandemic.

Juventus reacts

Juventus Football Club takes note of what was decided by the FIGC Court of Appeal and reserves the right to read the reasons to evaluate a possible appeal to the Guarantee Board at CONI. 

What was established by the fifth instance of judgment in this matter, which began more than a year ago, arouses great bitterness in the club and in its millions of supporters who, in the absence of clear rules, find themselves extremely penalised with the application of sanctions that seem to take into account the principle of proportionality.

While not ignoring the need for urgency, which Juventus has never shied away from during the proceedings, it is emphasised that these are facts that still have to be evaluated by a judge.
