"Everybody Loves Jenifa": New Series Of Jenifa's Diary | Fab.ng

Calling all Jenifa’s Diary fans! Get ready for a fresh serving of laughter with the return of your favourite comedy series. The show is getting a makeover, complete with a brand new name: “Everybody Loves Jenifa.”

This is fantastic news for fans who have been following the hilarious journey of Jenifa since her first appearance in 2008. The character, created by the talented Funke Akindele, proved to be a scene-stealer, and she quickly landed her own television series, “Jenifa’s Diary,” in 2015.

The show chronicled the adventures of Jenifa, a naive yet funny character, and it resonated with audiences, making it a ratings hit.

But the Jenifa series extends far beyond the original series. The character’s popularity spawned a whole franchise, allowing viewers to see different sides of Jenifa.

In 2011, fans were treated to “Return of Jenifa,” a sequel to the original movie. Then came “Aiyetoro Town” (2019), a spin-off series that transported audiences to Jenifa’s village, offering a glimpse into her roots. Even the challenges of a global pandemic couldn’t keep Jenifa down.

In 2021, a special titled “Jenifa on Lockdown” gave fans a hilarious look at how Jenifa was coping with the new normal.

By December 2024, Jenifa would be back for another round of laughs with “Everybody Loves Jenifa.” This new title hints at the universal appeal of the character and the series’ promise to deliver side-splitting comedy once again.

Hilda Baci Responds To Allegations By VeryDarkMan | Fab.ng

A social media influencer named VeryDarkMan accused Nigerian chef Hilda Baci of scamming people who paid for her online cooking class but never received access.

Hilda Baci, who holds a Guinness World Record, isn’t taking these claims lightly. On April 23rd, 2024, she fought back against the accusations. Baci posted a screen recording of her online cooking class in action. The video showed activity within the online platform, including new students joining, media being shared, and overall engagement—all evidence to counter the claims that the class wasn’t happening.

Her caption read, “5880 active students, 156 recipes already posted, comprehensive editing class done, plating class done, official assignment given. LOL.”

Social media influencer VeryDarkMan didn’t hold back in his accusations. He went even further, suggesting this might be a criminal offence, specifically “obtaining money under false pretences.” This means VeryDarkMan believes Baci took people’s money with the promise of a class but didn’t deliver.

He said,

“Hilda Baci, you have worked so hard for your brand but it’s as though you’re trying to spoil the reputation of your brand. What you’re doing now is giving ‘Obtaining under false pretense’ which is fraud, by the way. You can’t collect money from a lot of people for something and then not do it and you’re not even addressing it.”

“You collected money for an online cooking class which was meant to start on the 22nd. But on the 22nd you didn’t start. You posted that registration closed on the 28th of March and since then you’ve been quiet. Don’t you see all the women complaining in the comment section? This is giving fraud. You can’t collect money from people and just ghost them,” he added.
