datribune:
She's not playing it safe just to win but being real & true wit viewers, showing us who she is. By having people like that on d show, u get a reality show. What u see is what u get.
These Housemates are boring because they are playing safe, conscious that it's a game & they are so predictable.
I can tell you that should someone pee on White Money's head, I can predict what his reaction will be. Lol

Boudiccao:
Maria and White were never a thing, they just vibed and Maria consciously left his side and moved closer to Pere after discovering he was also a wild card.

Pere has told Maria he likes her, told the house mates and even Biggie but Maria is not forth coming with answers because she is all about the game.

Pere has since said he wants to look else where since Maria is not given the green light he wants and has her heart set elsewhere so he wants to move since he can't be just friends.

Please tell me exactly how this is rejection?
This is Maria playing her games.
You people must always look for a stupid agenda to attack a woman every season. SMH.

Goddyss:
Does it mean that Arin cannot tell her hairstyle accentuates her ugliness the more?


Of all the hairstyles she could have opted for, she used this mgbeke hairstyle.

Rahkman:

I concor, Like how they did it last year by true test of strength and fanbase , the house mate with the least fanbase should leave that house
BBN Organizers should bring in guys that with content, imagine the likes of Mr Macaroni , brother Shaggi in that house ....

Eeghe:
So people the same age as Boma’s football one should kill themselves?
I like him like that.
LRose is somehow boring yhoo!
Phew!
With that hard, hard way she has of talking.
She should “gimme more” (in Kidd’s voice)
(And I don’t care what the housemates were and have been outside the house- I am just interested in BBhouse realities/personalities)

When is voting ending for the season? Today or tomorrow?

bluefilm:
Chai.... you have completely finished Princess.
But you're right.
That Guinness Nwa Ka Ibe Ya advert is very interesting.
It gets me all the time.

MzCherry:
Saskay is not the most beautiful girl in the house
Skin colour or not
This her morning face get as e be

creolehunt:
Boma should be in his mid 40s

Rozcol:
It is you who chose to see some part of the body and making a big deal out of it,you need prayers

TheEnforcer:
They can't bring huge celebrities like that into the house unless its BIG BROTHER ALL STARS, but for the normal big brother, there are still a lot of interesting single youths they could have brought into the house who would have been more entertaining, but for some reasons, they chose to bring housemates with a lot of baggages into the house, those with marital issues and those who are entangled. These kind of people choose to be cautious, and aren't much fun.Maybe connections had a role to play this year in the selections. In past editions, majority were single and they bring in just one married person. But it's just total shambles this year

EwuGambia:
Arin says she would Bleep Saga....
Saga kuku get erectile dysfunction before.... :-guess he has nothing to loose..

Beorn:
Between Arin and Nini, I don't know who I dislike the most.

tonididdy:
Shut up.... Shey if na your wife ni, you go celebrate her.

THE Supreme Court, yesterday, in a split decision of four-to-three, upheld the electoral victory of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, and dismissed the appeal brought before it by candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the governorship election of October 10, 2020, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN.

A seven-man panel of justices of the Supreme Court heard the appeal.

While the majority judgment that affirmed Akeredolu’s victory was delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the dissenting minority verdict that upheld Jegede’s appeal was delivered by Justice Mary Peter-Odili, who was the head of the panel.

The apex court, in its majority verdict, said it found no reason to set aside the concurrent judgements of both the Court of Appeal and the Ondo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, which earlier dismissed Jegede and PDP’s case for being incompetent.

Jegede and his party, PDP, had approached the apex court to void July 16, 2021, judgement of the Court of Appeal in Akure, which validated Akeredolu’s election.

The appellate court had affirmed the decision of the tribunal which dismissed the joint petition Jegede and the PDP lodged against the declaration of Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the valid winner of the Ondo gubernatorial contest.

Jegede and PDP had in their case, queried the legal validity of Akeredolu’s nomination by the National Caretaker Committee of the APC headed by the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mal Buni.


They specifically urged the court to determine whether Buni, as a sitting governor of Yobe state, could double as National Chairman of the APC to sign the nomination of Akeredolu, SAN, for the governorship election.

However, the Justice Theresa Orji-Abadua led panel of the appellate court dismissed their case which it said only succeeded in part.

Though the appellate court acknowledged that the issue raised by the Appellants, had constitutional implication, it, however, held that non-joinder of Buni as a party in the matter proved fatal to Jegede’s case.

The appellate court, therefore, declined to set aside the decision of the election tribunal, which held that the issue of Buni signing Akeredolu’s nomination form, was an internal affair of the APC.

Dissatisfied with the verdict, Jegede and PDP, through their counsel, Dr Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, approached the Supreme Court, urging it to determine whether it was a matter of necessity to join the Chairman, APC National Caretaker Committee and Governor Buni, in the petition he lodged against Akeredolu’s candidature, despite immunity provided for governors in Section 308 of the 1999 constitution.

On his part, Akeredolu, aside from seeking the dismissal of the appeal, also lodged his Cross-Appeal contending that Jegede’s petition was statute-barred.

He argued that both the tribunal and the appellate court erred in law by not declaring Jegede’s case as statute-barred.

Jegede’s appeal dismissed
Meantime, in their split judgement, yesterday, while four members of the apex court panel, led by Justice Agim, agreed with the Respondents that non-joinder of Buni rendered the appeal incompetent, three others, led by Justice Peter-Odili, disagreed.

Justice Peter-Odili’s group went ahead and dismissed all the three Cross-Appeals as lacking in merit, stressing that since the APC, for which Buni acted, was a party in the case, there was no need to include him as a necessary party in the appeal against Akeredolu.

My victory is an act of God, says Akeredolu
Reacting to the Supreme Court judgement, Governor Akeredolu, who described his victory as an act of God, said: “I believe that we can still be proud of our judiciary in this country.”

Akeredolu said: “I have every reason to thank God and to appreciate our judiciary for standing by the truth and for not yielding to any influence. I believe that we can still be proud of our judiciary in this country.

“For me, it is an opportunity again for us to get on board and do more work.

“My advice to Jegede is that this has ended now. Let him come, let us work together, at least for the upliftment of Ondo State. I don’t doubt his love for the state.

“Let him come over, let us work together and work for this state. It has ended here.”

We accept defeat — Jegede, PDP
Also reacting to the verdict, the PDP governorship candidate, Mr. Jegede said he has accepted defeat.

Jegede, in a statement, said: “Now that we havenexplored the grievance procedure permitted by the constitution and the law, it is time to give glory to God.

“The outcome of the judgement should not deter good and well-meaning individuals from aspiring for leadership in our state and our country. For all our people who have stood strong, we salute you.

“With this outcome, our respect and reverence for the judiciary and our justices of the supreme court has not diminished. I congratulate Governor Oluwarotimi
Akeredolu, SAN.”

Similarly, in a statement, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ondo State, Mr. Kennedy Peretei said: “The PDP in Ondo State and its candidate have accepted the verdict of the Supreme Court being the apex court in the land.

“Our party wishes to encourage all our party supporters to remain steadfast and be consoled that, we fought a good fight, from the beginning to the end.”

Buhari, APC hail judgment
Similarly, President Muhammadu Buhari, who felicitated with Governor Akeredolu urged the governor, and all elected leaders of the APC, to always place the people first in their consideration of development programmes and projects.

The President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina extolled Akeredolu “for assiduously working for the development of the state, with reforms that continue to attract the goodwill of investors, and insistence that education, health and security take priority.”

Also, the APC, in the statement by the National Secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe said: “Governor Akeredolu has followed up his people-oriented policies with several other developmental inititiatives which are returning Ondo State to its deserved status and consolidating on the landmark and progressive legacies of late Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, the first civilian governor of the state”.

Verdict is sound, faultless —Ondo APC
Also, the state chairman of the APC in the state, Mr. Ade Adetimehin, said: “The party is thrilled by the resolve of the apex court to uphold the decisions of the lower courts on the petition. The truth is always constant.”

It’s a validation of people’s mandate, says Sanwo-Olu Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, on his part, described the verdict as a “validation of the people’s mandate.”

Sanwo-Olu, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, said: “As democrats, we must submit ourselves to the tenets of democracy, which include post-election litigation.

Today’s judgment has put paid to all insinuations and doubts about the resounding victory of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

“I, therefore, call on all lovers of democracy, especially the people of Ondo State to come together for a continuation of good governance and the developmental process of Ondo, started by Governor Akeredolu from his first term of office.”

It’s a sound judgement, deserving–Oyetola
On his part, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State described the judgement as a ‘sound one’ and deserving victory.

Oyetola, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan said: “The judgement has put to an end the needless bickering and distractions that greeted the election. I hope that the opposition will team up with my brother Governor to move Ondo forward in the overall interest of the State.”

The Asset Management Corporation of Nigerian (AMCON) on Tuesday announced it has taken over Nicon Insurance Limited and the Nigeria Reinsurance Corporation (Nigeria Re).

The two companies belonging to the embattled businessman and politician, Jimoh Ibrahim, were taken over an alleged N69.4 billion debt.

To enhance the smooth running, efficient and effective management of the two firms, the board and management has been changed, AMCON said.

It said the take-over has been approved by National Insurance Commission.

“The reason for the changes in the board and management of the two insurance firms is sequel to the takeover of the major investor’s interests in the two organisations by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), and the Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) is working in partnership with AMCON to bring the much-needed stability in the operation of the organisations,” AMCON said in a statement.

The new board of NICON Insurance Limited has Lamis Dikko as its Chairman, Henry Ationuas Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and John Oyidih as Executive Director, Finance & Admin.

The insurance firm also has Alexander Okoh, the Director-General of Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) as Non-Executive Director and Ahmed Modibbo FIBA ACIS as Non-Executive Director (Independent).

“Similarly, the board and management of Nigeria Reinsurance Corporation has Mela Nunghe as Chairman, Olugbenga Falekulo serves as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and Olusegun Ilori comes in as Executive Director, Finance & Admin.

Alexander Okoh, the Director-General of Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) comes in as Non-Executive Director while Yvonne Isichei, FCIB joins as Non-Executive Director (Independent),” AMCON said.

It said the reconstitution of the board and management team of two insurance institutions is to ensure that the firms continue in their quest for transparent and accountable management of insurance in the country, and continue to deliver value to its stakeholders.

Longstanding debt
In 2016, a court ordered the seizure of some assets from Mr Ibrahim over his debts to AMCON but he obtained a court injunction a month later discharging the interim order granted to AMCON.

On November 19, 2020, following an order granted by Justice R.M. Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Lagos, AMCON was able to freeze the businessman’s accounts and also seize 12 properties.


He subsequently urged the court to set aside the order for “non-disclosure and misrepresentation of material facts”.

Also urged the court “to order AMCON to pay N50 billion indemnity for its alleged failure to conduct due diligence before obtaining the said order and for misrepresentation and concealment of fact”.

He lost this bid on February 16,2021 when Rilwan Aikawa, the judge at the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court declined his application.

He also has many unresolved corruption cases with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) , the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and a US firm, Aersale Inc.
