Beyonce donates £8,000 to struggling Nigerian-owned restaurant in London

Renowned American singer, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, has generously donated £8,000 ($8,793.20) to a Nigerian restaurant located in North London that was on the brink of closure due to the mounting cost of living crisis.

The restaurant, known as Chuku’s, proudly claims to be the world’s first Nigerian tapas restaurant and is run by siblings Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederick.

With its innovative approach to traditional dishes and enticing Nigerian tapas, Chuku’s has garnered attention from A-list celebrities, footballers, and everyday diners alike. Beyoncé, who recently sold out five consecutive shows at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium, has expanded her philanthropic efforts to support local businesses in London.

Through her charitable foundation, she has committed a remarkable $1 million (£806,401.00) to assist struggling businesses like Chuku’s in various cities worldwide.

Remarking on the grant awarded their restaurant, Chuku co-founder, Ifeyinwa stated: “I still can’t quite believe that Beyoncé has backed our restaurant, it feels a bit surreal.”
Her brother and business partner, Emeka noted: “This grant couldn’t have come at a better time.

“Chuku’s, like many other restaurants without financial reserves, has been severely affected by lockdowns and the escalating cost of living crisis.

“Every day, we fight to remain open and reach our fourth anniversary.

“This funding will alleviate some of our struggles and enable us to continue showcasing Nigerian culture on Tottenham’s High Road for the time being.”

Zinwe, a pair in the BBNaija season 9 house, has been evicted from the reality show after failing to secure enough viewer votes.

Their exit marks the end of their journey in the competition.

The nomination process, which allowed housemates to nominate each other for eviction, led to five pairs being put up for possible eviction. Zinwe, Chekas, Double Kay, Beta, and WanniXHandi were the unlucky pairs.

The show’s grand prize of ₦100 million, including a cash prize and an SUV, remains the ultimate goal for the remaining housemates. The competition will run for 10 weeks, culminating in the finale on October 6, 2024.

Fabiyi had urged the public to protest peacefully at the upcoming coroner’s inquest, but the family has warned against disrupting court proceedings.

In a statement through their legal team, Monisola Odumosu, the family said: “Anyone is free to do whatever they want so far he or she does it within the confines of the law.

The Constitution gives everyone the right to express his or her grievances.”

However, they cautioned: “However coming within the court precinct is another issue entirely. They must not make noise. The business of justice in the court must not be disturbed in any manner. Lest they be charged for contempt of Court.”

The family advised: “Our advice is that they should not disrupt the proceedings in the court in any form whilst they exercise their rights.”
