Ahead of Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace today, January 15, Graham Potter has said that he has the full support of the club’s board even with the poor performance of his team in over 10 matches they’ve played. Potter who admitted that he was under pressure after two defeats before the World Cup break, told reporters that if anyone he works for thinks the problem lies with him, they have the right to sack him. He said; “There are always questions if you don’t get the results. I was under pressure after two defeats before the World Cup break – and that is from the media. In terms of the board, I’ve had full support but I am not naive. If anybody that I work for thinks the problem lies with me then they have every right to say, ‘Thank you very much but it’s not working’. I accept that.” When asked if the players were still committed to his ideas, Potter said; “From what I see, they are professional, responsible, and honest. We’re in a bad moment and we’ve got challenges, everyone suffers from that point. January is always complicated no matter where you are because the window is open and human beings are human beings, but I don’t see any problems in that regard. I have the support of the boys and they have mine. We just need to keep working.”

This got social media buzzing as many people didn’t find it welcoming. Social media users tagged TAMPAN and reported the actor’s Instagram page.
As a result of this, the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria (TAMPAN), has summoned the veteran actor to face a disciplinary panel to explain reasons for his actions.
This was confirmed by one of TAMPAN’ executives, Actress Rose Odika, who made this known to Sunday Scoop.
Rose stated that even though the actor has the right to support whoever he wants to, but his actions has no moral justification. He has thus been summoned before the disciplinary committee even though he is yet to show up before the committee.
In Rose Odika‘s words:
“He has the right to support whoever he wants to, but we have the moral justification angle. We are looking at the morality behind that advert (video). It is not about who he is supporting. It is about him breaching the code of ethics (of our association and industry.”
While reacting to the summon, Olaiya told correspondents of Sunday Scoop that he is not aware of such summon.
His words: “I don’t know who discussed that with you. I did not hear anything about that. God bless you.”

Why I am not in support of cosmetic surgery – Alex Unusual
Reality star, Alex Asogwa better known as Alex Unusual reveals why she is not in support of cosmetic surgery.
Recall that few days ago, a lady had died in Lagos trying to undergo a cosmetic surgery meant to improve her bum.
Alex had written a lengthy post on her Instagram post wherein she had deplored the act, describing women who opt for surgery as insecure.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats Alex has revealed why she deplores going under the surgeon’s knife to improve ones features.
She said:
“I am not in support of it (cosmetic surgery) because there are a lot of complications that could develop now or later. If someone has a health condition and they tell me that they need surgery to save their lives, I don’t have a problem with that. But, if you are going for an operation that would put your life at risk because you want to look a certain way, that does not make any sense to me.
We all have insecurities. I have mine but I can live with them. If it is something I can work on, I will. I could have chosen to go for surgery for my body.”
She disclosed that even her friends know well what she thinks of the procedure:
“Anyone that has been with me together in a space where that conversation has ever come up know my stance on it. As my friend, if you say you want to go for (plastic) surgery, I will say ‘no’.”
Alex also cleared the air on the alleged feud between her and Khloe:
“When I made the post, somewhere at the back of my mind, I knew that Koko was going to fight me. That was not the first time we were having that fight. The only difference is that this time, I said it in public. Koko is not one to feel attacked and keep quiet. She does not keep grudges in heart. We had our ‘fight’ in the DM (message inbox). She was just being herself. I really am not sorry for what I said. I told her I get her point and she got mine too. Then, I asked if she was hungry and needed me to buy her food. She said she was still fighting but I should buy the food. I went to her house and delivered the food, but she still abuuussed me.”
