WHO TOLD YOU?

 Before You Accept Another Limit, Answer the Question. What if one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and your future is something you were told—and never questioned? “You can't.” “You're not ready.” “People like you don't make it.” “It's too late.” “Be realistic.” But here is the question: WHO TOLD YOU? That question is about to become more than a conversation. It is becoming music. EXELLO is preparing to unveil WHO TOLD YOU? — a 12-track album built around questions many people spend their entire lives avoiding. And the countdown has begun. THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ALBUM WHO TOLD YOU? explores the invisible forces shaping human choices: identity, attention, distraction, comfort, discipline, time, failure, purpose, character, responsibility, legacy and the future.

Adunni Ade Celebrates Legal Victory Over False Dino Melaye Story

Adunni Ade wins legal case

LAGOS — Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has announced her victory in a fundamental human rights case against Polance Media Limited, publishers of Naija News, over a defamatory publication that falsely linked her romantically to Senator Dino Melaye.

The ruling, delivered by Justice I.O. Harrison of the Lagos State High Court, reaffirmed Ade’s constitutional right to privacy under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

According to court documents obtained by PUNCH Online, the case was titled: “In the Matter of an Application by Adunni Adewale for the Enforcement of Her Fundamental Human Right to Privacy as Guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.”

The case began in January 2023 following a NaijaNews.com article titled Six Popular Nigerian Actresses Who Have Been Accused of Dating Dino Melaye. Adunni Ade’s name appeared among those alleged to have been romantically linked to the politician.

In her submission, Ade described the report as “false, misleading, and offensive,” emphasizing that it violated her right to privacy and caused severe emotional distress. She further noted that the publication was made without her consent and was allegedly intended to generate web traffic through sensationalism.

Reacting to the court’s verdict on Instagram, Ade wrote: I won my case — a false story was published about me, but truth stood tall. This judgment reaffirms that privacy matters — and so does integrity. Justice delayed isn’t justice denied.

Legal analysts have praised the judgment as a significant precedent for privacy and media accountability in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. It highlights the growing importance of responsible journalism and the need to protect individuals from digital defamation and intrusive reporting.

Why This Matters

In an era where false news spreads faster than facts, this ruling serves as a reminder that privacy is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The entertainment sector, often targeted by rumors, can now reference this case as a milestone in restoring credibility and justice.
