TV/Movies › Bbnaija Update: ‘the Gambit’ Sends Two Housemates To Finale With No... by KontactMedia(op): 10:52am On Jul 28
Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 11 takes a shocking twist with the introduction of ‘The Gambit ’, a strategic twist that guarantees two contestants a place in the grand finale while stripping them of any chance to claim the show’s ₦160 million grand prize.

The new gameplay element was unveiled during Monday’s live session, with the show’s organisers simultaneously launching a public vote for viewers to choose one male and one female housemate to assume the role.

According to the organisers, the selected contestants will remain in the competition until the final day of the season regardless of future evictions. However, the immunity comes at a heavy cost, as neither of them will be eligible to win the cash prize.

Announcing the twist, the organisers wrote: “Biggie’s first twist is here! There’s NO eviction this week. Instead, YOU will choose one male and one female Housemate to become The Gambit, a role with huge power… and an even bigger sacrifice. They’ll earn a guaranteed place in the House until the very end of the game… but there’s one major catch. They cannot win the grand prize.”

Business › Palmpay Under Fire Over Alleged ₦241,000 Transfer Dispute by KontactMedia(op): 11:03am On Jul 19
A growing wave of public outrage has trailed allegations against fintech platform PalmPay over its handling of a ₦241,000 erroneous transfer case, with stakeholders now calling for regulatory scrutiny by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The controversy follows a distress appeal by a Nigerian businesswoman, Mrs. Oyedeji, who claims PalmPay has failed to act despite clear indications that the recipient account linked to the transaction has been frozen.

According to Mrs. Oyedeji, the incident occurred on May 8, 2026, when she mistakenly transferred ₦241,000 from her Moniepoint account into a PalmPay account. Upon promptly reporting the error, her bank reportedly confirmed that the beneficiary account had been restricted and advised her to escalate the matter to PalmPay for resolution.

However, weeks after the incident, she alleges that PalmPay has neither provided a clear pathway for redress nor demonstrated urgency in resolving the issue, repeatedly informing her that “nothing can be done.”

Culture › Gbolajesu Amusa Redefines Human Connection Through Storytelling, Culture And... by KontactMedia(op): 2:21pm On Jun 03
For many Africans living in the diaspora, culture often becomes more than tradition. It becomes memory, comfort, and belonging

For UK-based cultural storyteller, creative curator, and co-founder of Odyssey Media House, GbolaJesu Amusa, creating those emotionally meaningful experiences has quietly become part of her life’s work.

Through storytelling-led campaigns, cultural programming, youth-focused initiatives, and community-centred experiences, GbolaJesu has built a body of work rooted in one belief: people connect more deeply when stories are experienced collectively.

“I’ve always believed stories shape identity,” she explains. “They influence belonging, connection, and how people understand themselves and others.”

That understanding has guided much of her creative journey.

One of the clearest examples of this was the Bradford African Festival of Arts (BAFA), a large-scale celebration designed to amplify African creativity, heritage, and community participation.

As Media Lead, GbolaJesu helped shape the festival’s storytelling direction across both digital and physical experiences, with a deep focus on representation and atmosphere.

As Nigeria inches toward the 2027 general elections, the political atmosphere is already thick with calculation, quiet alliances, and subtle repositioning. What is unfolding is not just another electoral cycle—it is a contest that will test the durability of the country’s democracy, the strength of its institutions, and the patience of its citizens.

At the centre of the unfolding drama is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose administration will be seeking re-election amid mixed public sentiment. His government’s early economic reforms, particularly the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market, have reshaped Nigeria’s fiscal direction, but also triggered inflationary pressures that continue to bite. For many Nigerians, the 2027 vote may well become a referendum on whether the pain of reform has translated into tangible progress.
