This week on social media, Naomi Campbell received backlash from many Nigerians after she posted a picture from a shoot that was inspired by the#ENDSARS protests. Check out other hot topics in our social media roundup for this week.

Naomi Campbell Backlash Over #ENDSARS Inspired Shoot

Naomi Campbell is an English model, actress and businesswoman who, earlier this year, modelled on the runway for the popular gender-fluid brand, Kenneth Ize. The popular model, during the #ENDSARS protests by Nigerian youths, lent her voice to show support and demand justice for the Nigerian youths.

However, she made a post on Twitter which was a picture from a shoot she had wearing a long silver dress and captioned it “I pray for a silver lining. An ode to dreams and dreamers.” Lots of people thought the post was very insensitive to the plight Nigerians were going through at the moment, and she received great backlash from people including Adesuwa Aighewi, Asa Asika and many more.

She also talked about her past struggles as a black supermodel and the solitary childhood she had in Ethiopia.

“Just because I was black; there was awkwardness on the set, complications on the set. And there’s nothing you can do. You just keep quiet, you do your thing, and then you leave and hope for the best.” – Liya Kabede.

Adamu Garba Files $1bn Lawsuit Against Jack Dorsey

The former presidential aspirant and CEO of IPI Limited, Adamu Garba, who, a short while ago, threatened the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey to take him to court if the #ENDSARS protests became violent finally delivered on his threats.

In the early hours of Tuesday, Adamu Garba submitted a motion of notice in the Federal High Court, Abuja asking Jack Dorsey to pay a fine of $1bn in favour of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as a compensation for loss of lives, properties and convenience as a result of his active support in allegedly funding the protests.

Dear @jack,

Here’s your motion of notice, a fine of $1Bn dollars in favour of Federal Republic of Nigeria, as a compensation for lost of lives, properties & convenience as a result your active support for funding of #EndSARS after the issues is been attended to by the Government pic.twitter.com/aunph9OIY8 — Adamu Garba II (@adamugarba) October 20, 2020

It is also stated that Jack Dorsey has to publish a public apology to the Nigerian government and people for violating the sovereignty to peace and unity. As usual, this lawsuit garnered a lot of reactions on Twitter, many of which were negative.

Looks From TolaniBaj’s 28th Birthday Shoot

Omotolani Shobajo, also known as TolaniBaj, who recently rose to stardom after participating in popular reality TV show, Big Brother Naija Season 5 recently celebrated her 28th birthday and she had some sizzling pictures to share to that effect.

The model, media personality and A&R who has worked with notable fashion brands including Orange Culture since she left the house, dazzled in a teal-coloured jumpsuit from Zephans&Co on her birthday. For her shoot, she sported a lavish red flower crown which was used to accentuate the beauty of the flowery prints high-slit dress and black strapped heels.

Naomi Campbell On The Cover Of American Vogue

Naomi Campbell, like we earlier stated, is a popular model who was the first Black woman to cover French Vogue in 1988. Recently, she graced the cover of American Vogue. The trailblazing supermodel spoke up about her decade’s long career of defying the odds and speaking up for others.

She also shared her experience advocating for black models.

“I never used to say the word racism, I just used to say it’s territorialism. I never wanted people to say that I used that as an excuse, that I was throwing the word out. Now, I’m happy that everyone’s all on the same page, that everyone feels comfortable to come out about their experiences without feeling some stigma.” – Naomi Campbell.

These hot topics and more trended all over social media this week and got several engagements from users, both locally and internationally. Do let us know what your favourite topic is from our Social Media Roundup. ​
