“Selasi Fashion show has been visiting orphanage homes, old people’s home and lot of other things; it is not just a show.  We are picking people back to school, pick people and train them, pick people and empower them. It is not just a show”, she explained.

 

Answering a question on the philosophy of the fashion show, Mrs. Saha said it aims to fill the existing gaps in the fashion industry by promoting the designs of upcoming designers in the industry.

 

“We have up-coming designers and big time designers, the upcoming designers are very good and they create very nice designs but most of the time they go back because they are afraid to come out.

 

“If they can come out, it will be good and it will boost the industry. We have a lot of designers who live in suburbs and think that they will not make it.  That is why we brought this designer and you will discover that they have collection.

 

“My fashion show is not focused on the big designers but we look out for the ones that are trying to find their feet, so we can encourage them to be persistent and creative that they can make a difference in the fashion industry”, she said.

BREAKING: Tinubu’s Minister, Uche Nnaji, Resigns Amid Certificate Forgery Scandal

By: Fabian Apechihin

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has resigned from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet amid a growing controversy surrounding his academic credentials.

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed Nnaji’s resignation in a statement issued late Tuesday.

Nnaji’s exit follows mounting allegations that his academic certificates were forged. Investigations revealed that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), disowned the Bachelor of Science degree he claimed to possess, stating that he never completed his studies at the institution and was therefore not issued any certificate.

According to UNN Vice-Chancellor Prof. Simon U. Ortuanya, Nnaji was admitted in 1981 but failed to meet the requirements for graduation.

In a related development, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) reportedly disowned the certificate of national service presented by Nnaji, describing it as fake.

His resignation marks the latest in a series of controversies to hit the Tinubu administration over questions of integrity and accountability among public officials.

Israel Launches Heavy Airstrikes in Gaza as Ceasefire Talks Collapse

Tensions in the Middle East have surged once again as Israel carried out a series of heavy airstrikes on Gaza late Sunday night, following the collapse of ongoing ceasefire negotiations.

According to international reports, the strikes targeted areas suspected of housing Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels, weapons storage sites, and command centers. Witnesses described powerful explosions that lit up the night sky, with plumes of smoke and debris rising across Gaza City. Emergency responders have been racing to rescue civilians trapped under the rubble, while hospitals struggle to cope with a growing number of casualties.

The Palestinian health ministry reported several deaths and dozens of injuries, though the exact figures remain unclear amid the chaos.

The renewed violence follows weeks of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas aimed at achieving a durable ceasefire and improving humanitarian conditions in Gaza. Sources close to the negotiations said discussions collapsed over disputes concerning prisoner swaps, border access, and security assurances.

Israeli officials said the airstrikes were a “necessary response” to continued rocket attacks from Gaza, while Hamas vowed swift retaliation.

The United Nations, the European Union, and several world leaders have called for restraint and a resumption of dialogue to prevent the situation from spiraling into a wider conflict. Meanwhile, civilians on both sides continue to bear the brunt of the violence—facing blackouts, food shortages, and growing fear as hopes for peace once again fade.
