According to TMZ, which first reported the news, she and Oprah reportedly had a difficult relationship as the TV mogul was raised by her maternal grandmother until the age of six while Lee worked as a housemaid in Milwaukee. However, the relationship was eventually mended in 1990 when Oprah welcomed her mother onto her show for a personal stylist makeover.
Lee has already been laid to rest at a private funeral ceremony, according to a spokesperson.
May her soul rest in peace!
RIP, Vernita Lee…

*FIVE (5) REASONS WHY PRESIDENT MUHAMMED BUHARI WILL WIN 2019 GENERAL ELECTION*
They are those who say he’s failed so woefully, » a second term is well beyond his and the APC’s grasp. They are those who beg to differ, telling everyone who cares to listen that Buhari is still the best thing to happen to this country since sliced bread.
For all the hoopla over Buhari’s perceived ‘incompetence’ out there, the man is on the cusp of getting re-elected and here’s why:
1. *Registered voters in geopolitical zones*
Out of the 73,944,312 registered voters across Nigeria, as of January 2018 , » the Northwest had a total of 18,505,984 voters while the Southeast had 8,293,093.
The North central had 10,586,965 registered voters, while the North east zone had 9,929,015. The Southwest had the second highest number of registered voters with 14,626,800.
The South south as a whole had 11,101,093 registered voters.
Look at those numbers again and it begins to hit you—the APC strongholds of Southwest and North, have the highest number of registered voters. The Southeast and South South where anti-Buhari sentiments are pretty strong, are still playing catch-up.
For all our social media rants, when the North votes, it often votes big. Ask Kano.
If the North and Southwest settle for Buhari again, the smart money is on him getting re-elected.
2. *There is no opposition*
The PDP has become a joke since it lost the center in 2015. The party spent two years trying to put its house in order » after Goodluck Jonathan got trounced by Buhari.
My big brother in this business, Simon Kolawole, captured it all in his latest Sunday column:
“PDP, as presently constituted, is still the strongest opposition platform. But its brand image is not sparkling. After overcoming the storm-in-a-tea-cup internal imbroglio which many swore had the hand of APC, the PDP is now perceived as the property of one or two Governors.
“Meanwhile, the SDP has been telling us that Governors and senators will defect
