Everybody has the right to express love the way they want - Actor Wole Ojo tells Ozo's critics

 

Actor Wole Ojo has reacted to the tantrums that has trailed Ozo's eviction from the Big Brother reality show. 

 

Ojo who slammed Ozo's critics for saying that he was extreme with expression of his love for Nengi, stated that everybody has the right to express love the way they want or are built to.

 

He added that labelling someone "cowardly" for not acting the way that appeals to outsiders, is "forcing people to align with your own form of expressing love."

 

The actor wrote; 

 

Everybody get him own style! Find a partner that matches yours! Or do what you can to convince the other in your own way! You're not a COWARD! You're YOU! And you're AWESOME!

Rubbish talk everywhere!

 

Model who lost 8st to be crowned Miss Great Britain says it's not fat-shaming to call overweight people obese

 

A model who lost eight stoned (almost 51kg) on her way to being crowned Miss Great Britain has said it is not "fat-shaming" to call overweight people "obese".

 

Jen Atkin, who used to weigh in at 18 stone before slimming down dramatically, criticised people for being "way too easily offended".

 

The 26-year-old spoke out after finding out that the British Psychological Society is advising people against using the word "obese", asking them to use, instead, the words "living with obesity".

 

Atkin revealed her horror at this and said the word "obese" is what spurred her to lose weight.

 

Jen Atkin before losing weight

 

Jen said that "hiding terms" like "burn off last night's pizza" would only worsen Britain's obesity crisis with almost two thirds of UK adults overweight.

 

The model from Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, said: "I think it's going to encourage people to eat more calories and not keep track of what they're eating and therefore end up overweight or obese. It's just avoiding the issue completely.

 

"Trust me, I have been fat shamed in the past and this is not fat shaming. Calories are in food and we need calories to survive. We need to educate people on healthy living."

 

Atkin is keen to promote a healthy lifestyle after her remarkable weight loss, which came about over a two-year period with regular visits to the gym.

 

She was named Miss Scunthorpe before going on to compete for the title of Miss England in 2018, where she finished as first runner-up.

 

She briefly retired from competing in pageants after getting married but gave it one more shot when her name was put forward to represent Great Britain.

 

In March 2020 she was named the 75th Miss Great Britain.

Manchester City midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan tests positive for coronavirus ahead of Premier League opener

 

Manchester City midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan has tested positive for Coronavirus ahead of their Premier League opener against Wolves.

 

City announced the positive result on Monday morning September 21, ruling the former Borussia Dortmund star out of today's clash as he will now enter a 10-day isolation period.

 

Gundogan will also be forced to miss this week's Carabao Cup match against Bournemouth and next weekend match against Leicester City at the Etihad.

 

A statement from City said: "Manchester City FC can confirm that Ilkay Gundogan has tested positive for COVID-19.

 

"Ilkay is now observing a 10-day period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine. Everyone at the Club wishes Ilkay a speedy recovery."

 

Gundogan becomes the latest City player to test positive for the virus after Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte both returned positive tests two weeks ago.
