Popular Nollywood Actress, Toyin Abraham has taken legal actions against Revolution Plus property to ensure her dissociation from the brand.

She took to her Instagram page to share the legal documents from her lawyers with a lengthy statement as proof of her dissolution of the contract.

She wrote;

“PUBLIC DISCLAIMER
DISASSOCIATION FROM REVOLUTIONPLUS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED
We are Solicitors to Mrs. Olutoyin Abosede Ajeyemi Abraham, (hereinafter referred to ‘our Client’) and on whose instruction we write the above-captioned letter.
Our Client wishes to disassociate herself from the brand, Revolutionplus (hereinafter referred to ‘the company). This disclaimer is premised on the fact that our client’s contract with the Company as a Brand Ambassador has been effectively terminated and the compelling need to disassociate herself from the image of the Brand.
Despite the above promises, I was still receiving various threats messages, curses, complaints and pleas from investors claiming they had not been allocated any land or refunded their monies. Some of them further claimed that because I represented the Company as a brand ambassador, I reposed their confidence in the
Company to invest their monies. I became sad, worried, and disturbed and decided to stop my social media publications and advertisement of the Company’s products.
When the pressure and harassment became embarrassingly unbearable both online on all my social media platforms and offline, and with my integrity at stake, I sent a mail to the Company on the 15th June 2022 notifying them of my intent to terminate my contract as a Brand Ambassador. The Company reached out to me on the 16th of June 2022, we had a meeting and they promised to promptly and effectively address the allegations. Upon the premise of the promises made, I sent another mail on the 17th June 2022 cancelling my notice of intent to terminate my contract as a brand ambassador.
In view of the above termination which I accept in good faith and totality, and considering the recent similar messages I have received from aggrieved customers from the brand, I hereby disassociate myself from the brand and advise that all persons dealing with the brand conduct their respective due diligence’.
It was in the wake of my decision to reduce the brand’s visibility and advertisement on my social media platforms, especially because my integrity as a person is being questioned daily, that I received a ‘Notice of Termination of Brand Ambassadorship’ letter on the 22nd December 2022 by the Company’s legal team, which effectively terminated my contract with them on grounds of reduced affection and reluctant approach towards publicly identifying with the brand.
While performing my duties as contained in the contract, I started receiving a lot of allegations and complaints from investors who claimed the Company has not allocated lands nor refunded them their monies. Some of these investors were in my DM (Direct Message) demanding for refund of their monies or allocation of the lands they paid for.
Please find below the official statement from our Client:
‘After carefully conducting my due diligence and being personally convinced about the genuineness of the Company, I proceeded to sign a contractual agreement in July 2020, thereby becoming a brand ambassador to market the property products of the Company, Revolutionplus. This duty I carried out with utmost loyalty, diligence, integrity and excellence, which are the core values I stand for.”

You know how great things are when your wife can support the entire lifestyle. Mortgage, school fees & softest of lives. It’s the way she Hates that I tell her she is my pension. That if everything I have goes to zero. I just have to be a good husband to maintain the lifestyle I’m accustomed to. 🤣. Real talk.

Few years back I over extended into several startups. They swallowed all my money & started eating hers She wasn’t happy. She used to cry as I asked her to clear her accounts😭. But she supported us🙏🏿. My #1 investor😍 @MrsMaryNjoku earnings covered everything. All she asked is that I don’t lose the money. Motivation x100. As long as things are fine at home. Nothing shakes.

The only money arguments we have ever have been about how I spend it too freely.🥱 But that one is in my DNA. Me I don’t want to struggle too much. Retirement at 50. Hard work is bad for my skin. 🤗🙏🏿”

Nigerian activist, Deji Adeyanju has opined that the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to be famous and broke.

Deji, who stated this in an Instagram post on Tuesday morning, January 24, noted that being a celebrity is not a profession.

According to him, that is why many male and female celebrities allegedly turn to prostitution to support their lifestyles.

“Celebrity is not a profession. That is why you find both male and female so called celebrities doing prostitution because that is all they can do. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to be popular and broke.” He wrote.

In other news, actress, Anita Joseph, has revealed why female Nollywood stars appear to be doing better than their male counterparts.

Actor, Kunle Remi had in a recent interview with OAP Nedu, wondered what his female counterparts are doing differently when asked why it appears that actresses are more successful than the men.

Kunle Remi noted that there are times when he drives to a movie location as a lead character and his female colleagues pull up in more expensive cars.

According to him, this is surprising because he knows how much he was paid for the movie and also has an idea of how much actresses are being paid for supporting roles.

Reacting, Nollywood actress Anita Joseph hinted that some actresses’ flamboyant lifestyles are sponsored by their wealthy lovers, aka “sugar daddies.”

“Because most of the females have ndi Nna Ochie (Sugar Daddy). Shalom in the highest biko,” she wrote.

The man then asked her about her menstrual cycle. “How long does your menstrual cycle last”, he asked.

“Who asked someone you barely know about their menstrual cycle just like that ?”, she said.

When she expressed her shock, the men sent her a voicenote explaining that she shouldn’t take his harmless question so seriously.

According to him, he should be allowed to ask her any kind of question in the process of getting to know her.
