The on-air personality added that he did not defraud anyone. Besides, he has been running his charity and scholarship organisation for a while.
He said that he had gotten several applications and was about to start selecting the eligible candidates before his drama with VDM started.
Besides, he said it would not be the first time that he would be giving out scholarships as he does it from his pocket most times.
Nedu thrashes Mr Nigeria Ugo’s claim
According to an associate of Nedu, who was present during the live conference and answered questions on his behalf, Nedu does not respond to gossip.
In a video, the associate noted that Mr Nigeria Ugo Nwokolo has gotten a legal response after he claimed that Nedu influenced him to say that poor girls turn him on, on the Honest Bunch podcast.
Nedu stated that guests are entitled to their opinion and he does not regret bringing them. More so, this drama has taught him a lesson.
Recall that Nedu’s travails began when he hosted comedian Adedayo Martin, aka Deeone, on the Honest Bunch podcast. Deeone accused VDM of being gay and this caused the social critic to drag Nedu brutally.

I was not fired – Nedu declares
Nedu added that he was not fired from the Honest Bunch podcast but he stepped down when the attacks became personal. Besides, he plays the role of the devil’s advocate.
He stated that he does not like to exchange words with people and he resigned so that the podcast could continue without him.
