The Federal government on Monday, said the transmission capacities of Umuahia and Aba transmission sub-stations have been upgraded to boost power supply in Abia and environs.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, said this at the inauguration of the 40MVA 132/33KVA mobile power transformer at Umuahia transmission sub-station.

Fashola said the move was part of the Federal Government’s commitment to boosting the socio-economic growth of the country.

He said the growing population and consequent demand for more power supply made it pertinent to increase the volume of power supplied through the sub-stations in Abia.

Fashola noted that increasing the capacity of Umuahia sub-station would improve electricity supply to Umuahia metropolis and its environs as well as some parts of Imo.

His words: “It is no longer news that our power generation has risen to 7000 MW but the distribution capacity still lags 2000 MW behind. That means we need to expand distribution and transmission support system.”

The minister said the new mobile power transformer installed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) would increase the capacity of the Umuahia transmission sub-station from 80MVA to 120MVA.

According to him, the commissioning of the 60MVA 132/33KVA power transformer in Aba transmission sub-station would also increase the sub-station’s capacity from 147.5MVA to 227.5MVA.

Fashiola said he was in Abia to discover, first hand, the local problems encountered in power supply and to develop solutions.

“Our purpose is to hold the annual monthly meeting with stakeholders to deepen our service to Nigerians with respect to accessing adequate power supply.

“It is also to familiarise ourselves with the power installations and assets that generate, transmit and distribute power in the state,” he said.

In his remarks, Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia commended the Federal Government for boosting power supply in Abia.

Ikpeazu said that the actualisation of the socio-economic development of the state and nation at large required a well structured power distribution system.

Vice-Chancellor of IMSU, Prof Adaobi Obasi says Big Brother Housemate, Nina will undergo Moral Rehabilitation upon return from BBnaija House.

This is to purge her from any bad influences she might have picked up while featuring on the BBN show.

Vice Chancellor of the institution reportedly told some Owerri based journalists that the measure is to forestall and foreclose any of the bad influences being transmitted on other students of the university where Nina is currently a student.
She said:

“As we have a lot to do, you too have a lot to do. One of my students is now in Big Brother Naija. It is not the type of thing I am saying because I don’t see the need. I am talking of something positive; something that will help. We are praying, I told some people that this lady, whatever influence that she has, does not affect my other students here, my daughters here.

“We give something that will yield something. I never know what that BBN, the morals it is teaching. Maybe I am the only one out there. I don’t know what it is teaching us. Is it to have sex in the public? So, this is my own opinion and I hold onto it. Can you imagine my student telling them that she will sort us out here. We are waiting for her to come and sort us out”

“Didn’t you listen to her, that she would sort us out. When she finishes, let her come home and sort us out. If this girl comes back, I will watch her and make sure she has dropped those influences. I know I sent out some girls to America for leadership training. I allowed them upon return to teach others. This is the type of thing I want us to do. I will watch her and I will make sure she has dropped that influence”

“We have never had hostels, but those hostels are ready now. I am taking the first year girls to the hostels because I can say they are intact. We can work from anywhere to do something. I have a passion for IMSU. If I leave it where I found it, generations will be against me”.

Mrs Obasi stated

A former deputy to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Mr. Bisi Omoyeni; a senator representing Ekiti Central, Mrs. Fatima Raji-Rasaki, and a former Secretary to the Ekiti State Government, Dare Bejide, have defected to the Social Democratic Party.

They joined the SDP from the Peoples Democratic Party over Fayose’s imposition of his deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, as the anointed candidate of the party for the July 14 governorship election in the state.

They attended the stakeholders’ meeting of the SDP on Monday in Ado Ekiti.

While Omoyeni, a former Managing Director of Wema Bank attended in person, the former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada, Bejide and Raji-Rasaki, were represented by Mr. Yemi Arokodare and Chief Titi Oluwatuyi, respectively.

Omoyeni told the stakeholders not to fear because nobody could intimidate them.

“This party was established by divine creation and it has become the third force. Be rest assured that our people are coming en masse to this party. Any support the party need to occupy Oke Ayoba (government house) we will render it.

“Most of the aspirants who are still slugging it out in other parties are coming here. In fact, 70 per cent of the members of the PDP in Ekiti are moving to the SDP,” he said.

Speaking with reporters after the meeting, the SDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yemi Akinbode, who led other National Working Committee members of the SDP to the meeting, said it was called because of the Ekiti election which he said was strategic to the party.

“This is the first meeting after the inauguration of the interim state working committee of the SDP, because the election is fast approaching and we have little or no time on our hands. The leadership of the party at the national level mandated me and others including Prof. Tunde Adeniran to come to Ekiti State to quickly put together the stakeholders’ meeting to explain to them the vision, programmes as well as the structure of the party and our expectation in the coming governorship election in Ekiti.

“You can see that this is the first meeting and the attendance was good. People are already coming out who ordinarily will not have shown their faces. This is an indication that this is the party to beat.

“It is instructive that those sending representatives are already here. Bisi Omoyeni is here by himself. That is to show that he is here with us.

“Ambassador Dare Bejide and Arokodare are here and that is to show that more people are still coming and that is an indication that the house that is divided against itself can’t stand and that is to show that the PDP is in trouble.

“Our doors are still open to members from other parties who are willing to join the moving train. Our goal and objective is to win the governorship election in Ekiti come July 14,” he said.

The SDP, however, constituted six standing committees for the purpose of galvanising support for the party ahead of the July 14 election.

They are the contact and mobilisation, youth, women, communication and strategy, result and funding and the elders committees.

The ex-wife of the late Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, is dead.

In a statement released on Monday by her family, she “died after a long illness, for which she had been in and out of hospital since the start of the year. She succumbed peacefully in the early hours of Monday afternoon surrounded by her family and loved ones.”

The statement remembered her as “one of the greatest icons of the struggle against apartheid. She fought valiantly against the apartheid state and sacrificed her life for the freedom of the country.”

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, another icon of the anti-apartheid movement, released a statement on Monday lauding Madikizela-Mandela and wishing that she might “rest in peace and rise in glory.”

“She refused to be bowed by the imprisonment of her husband, the perpetual harassment of her family by security forces, detentions, bannings and banishment. Her courageous defiance was deeply inspirational to me, and to generations of activists,” Tutu said in the statement.

To her supporters, Madikizela-Mandela was known as “the Mother of the Nation,” and her legacy will endure for many years in spite of criminal convictions on charges ranging from fraud to kidnapping and assault after the end of white rule in South Africa.

She became a member of South Africa’s parliament but the scandals saw her sharply criticised by the African National Congress, which leads the country and which her late ex-husband led for years after his release from prison.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday described Madikizela-Mandela’s death as a huge loss to Africa.

He said with her death, the continent had lost a courageous woman.

The President stated this in a statement made available to journalists by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

He noted that the deceased “was a woman of uncommon determination, steadfastness and perseverance who held aloft the torch of the struggle against institutionalised discrimination even while her ex-husband, the late Madiba, President Nelson Mandela, was incarcerated.”

Buhari, on behalf of the government and Nigerians, commiserated with the family of the deceased as well as the government and people of South Africa.

He urged them to be consoled by the knowledge that the late Winnie Mandela’s contributions to ending apartheid would not be forgotten.

According to him, she remained “a pride not only to the African woman, but indeed all Africans.”

She was a political force and contentious figure in her own right — an iconic figure in the fight to end the racist apartheid system imposed on South Africa under white rule, CBS reports.

Madikizela-Mandela was married to Nelson Mandela in 1958 but divorced him in 1996. Mandela was imprisoned throughout most of their marriage at the Robben Island, and Madikizela-Mandela’s own activism against the apartheid regime led to her being imprisoned for months and years under house arrest.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday in Abuja assured Nigerians that Nigeria was on the path of resurrection and progress, as Christians the world over celebrate this year’s Easter.

Osinbajo gave the assurance when he spoke with journalists shortly after the Easter Sunday Service at the Aso Villa Chapel, to mark this year’s Easter celebration.

According to him, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ implies that the country is moving out of its present challenges to a greater hope and peace.

He said, “the resurrection of Jesus Christ is also a strong and powerful message to the nation.

“The message is that our nation is on the path of resurrection, it is on the path of progress, it is on the path of elevation.

“We are moving out from all our challenges and we are going to a place of greater hope, peace, prosperity and abundance for all of us.”

The Chaplain of the Aso Villa Chapel, Pastor Seyi Malomo, who delivered a sermon on: “The Temporary Hour of Darkness”, also assured that “Nigeria is going to rise again.”

He said that the resurrection of Christ signified that darkness could only reign but for a while.

”Darkness only reigns for a while, no matter the problem we are facing, just as Jesus only laid in the grave for three days, all these will be over,” he said.

He called on all Nigerians to emulate the life of Jesus Christ who sacrificed his life for the salvation of mankind.

He said: “In terms of sacrifice, we have to emulate the life of Jesus Christ. He sacrificed for mankind. And we are liberated and celebrating because he paid the sacrifice.

“We are all called to do our role in giving that sacrifice that will bring the liberation and the greatness of our nation.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that various songs were rendered during the occasion to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

A former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has declared that he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The ex-Governor maintained that the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM, being championed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not a political party.

According to Duke, the Obasanjo coalition had members cutting across many political parties.

He spoke at public lecture organized by the Nigeria Movement for Positive Change, NPMC, in Lagos.

Duke pointed out that the coalition was only concerned with sensitizing Nigerians to rise up to the challenges facing the country.

The former Governor said, “Nigeria is like a dam, if that dam should burst, it would flood all of West Africa.

“Our population is more than half of West Africa and it is growing astronomically but our economic indices are not growing as fast, which is the challenge we have.

“As I speak to you, over three million people have registered with the coalition but it is not a political party.

“I am still a member of the PDP for instance; you can belong to any political party.

“All it is trying to do is similar to what NMPC is doing here to sensitize Nigerians to our present circumstance.”

Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Ayodele Fayose has said he attended the meeting of South-West Governors in spite of political differences because it would be a great disservice to the people of the region if he did not.

Fayose stated this in Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday night during a meeting of the governors.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the Governor said there was no way any state in the region would develop its potential fully without collaborating with others.

“Over a decade ago, we had a reverse of what we have now. There were five Peoples Democratic Party governors in the region and only one Alliance for Democracy, but Asiwaju Bola Tinubu fought gallantly for his state.

“Now I am the only PDP governor and I know that I can’t shun this group but to take advantage of the synergy between us. Also, when you see a product, you can easily know the manufacturer, in Lagos, the products are showing Asiwaju Tinubu as the manufacturer.

“Now that Lagos State is part of the group, it has to play a vital role in the region. It has to help other states achieve their potential too. Concerning the call for collaboration in agriculture, Lagos can assist not only in cash but in the provision of implements and equipment,” he said.

A tipsy man died after mistakenly consuming insecticide, thinking it was water, at a restaurant in Lagos on March 24.

The man had reportedly attended a wedding in Aguda, Surulere, where he drank a bit too much. He then proceeded to a Chinese restaurant on Adeniran Ogunsanya street, Surulere, to hang out with friends.

While there, he ordered a bottle of water. But prior to that, a staff of the restaurant had forgotten a plastic water bottle that contained insecticide on the table. The tipsy man mistakenly drank the insecticide thinking it was the water he ordered and it began affecting him moments later.

His friends attended to him when he began acting up and he opened up to them that he drank something thinking it was water. He was rushed to a hospital in the area where he eventually died.

The matter was later reported at the Bode Thomas police station, Surulere and the manager of the restaurant was arrested and is currently being detained at the station.

Evicted Big Brother Naija housemate, Ifu Ennada shares yet another touching story from her past.



This time, she writes on how her 4year old brother died right in front of her because they couldn’t afford healthcare and how her family once relocated to the village because of unpaid rent.



Read her story below….

My name is Iheme Faith Uloma Adanne, popularly known as Ifu Ennada – The Ifu Ennada.

As a child I always had massive dreams, but the challenges I experienced “so many times” were overwhelming that I contemplated suicide several times and lost myself along the way… I remember when I was 9yrs old, my whole family moved to the village, while my dad stayed back in Lagos to hustle… Our rent had been long overdue and the landlord could only but kick us out.

It was a terrible time for me, but what was more terrible was helplessly watching my 4yrs old younger brother die in front of me – in my mother’s arms, my mother who would have given her life in exchange for his.

We were so poor, that even there in the village we couldn’t afford average healthcare… Instagram would be unable to take record of the number of times I was abused in a number of ways… My life’s journey has been one tough but inspiring one. For each time I was down, God always came through, in form of His Word, but most importantly in the shape of people – good people who remind me that humanity is BeautIFU! and that the world isn’t evil.

These good people include all of you reading this, all of you who would never give up on me. All you wonderful people who care about me in ways I can’t imagine.

Coming out of the Big Brother House, I didn’t know such massive love was awaiting me and now as I am set for what’s coming, I want you all to know that I am who I am because of God and you.

I don’t take you for granted and my love for you will always be never ending.

Thank you!

XO,
Ifu Ennada

Yusuf Waheed, a 30-year-old commercial driver has been paraded before newsmen for robbing and raping a female student of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife.



Following a report by the victim, Waheed was apprehended by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS. Waheed, a father of three, was said to have committed the offense on 25th of February 2018.



Femi Joseph, spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command disclosed to newsmen that Waheed was taking some passengers from Akure to Abeokuta but stopped by the bush to commit the rape when all the other passengers had alighted and he was left alone with the lady.



Joseph said, “after all passengers have alighted from his vehicle, Waheed was left with the lady (name withheld) and mediately drove to nearby bush. He brought out a knife and threatening the lady and disposed her of Infinix handset, Huawei IPad, cash sum of N4,000 and other valuable items. As if is not enough, Waheed forcefully had a carnal knowledge of the lady and she reported the case to the police in the station and we swung into action”.



While blaming his escapade on the devil, Waheed said he has been driving for over 17 years and wondered what led him to commit the evil act. “I had been driving for over 17 years and this kind of thing has never happened to me but I think it is devil’s work. I drive for almost 16 years in Abuja in which am not involved in any crime throughout of my stay. I have a wife and three children. I don’t know what comes over me, maybe it was because I relocated to Abeokuta” he said.

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested sixteen herdsmen, who allegedly kidnapped officials of the West African Examinations Council in Kishi area of the state.

Briefing newsmen at the Command headquarters on Thursday, the State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude said the suspects were nabbed by the police who worked with local vigilante in an operation that lasted for 10 days.

The police boss disclosed that they were allegedly recruited from Zamfara State by a kingpin who is also from Zamfara. He is still being wanted by the police after he escaped arrest.

Odude said the gang kidnapped many people and killed some of them, with huge ransom collected before they released some of their victims.

“A deadly dare devil murderous itinerant armed robbery and kidnap gang had been terrorising the peaceful town of Kishi , Igboho and Igbeti in Oyo State, killing innocent victims after dispossessing them of their valuables,” he said.

“The hoodlums, numbering about 25 , who are mainly herdsmen, were recruited by one Kire, a notorious armed robbery kingpin from Zmfara State. They hide their victims in their seemingly impregnable fortress at the Old Oyo National Park for some days before freeing them after collecting huge ransom from their distraught and helpless family members.

“Working with local vigilante in the area, the police, after receiving a report about the gang’s activities , busted the gang and three suspected members arrested.

“They are Mohammed Kote, 25 ; Mohammad Legi , 26 and Kire Babuga, 20. They were arrested in their criminal hideout along Kishi/Igboho road and inside the Old Oyo National Park, Igbeti.”

The police boss said the operation led to the arrest of 16 members of the gang while more are being hunted.

Daddy Freeze has taken to social media to call out Nigerian artistes who wear fake watches. In an Instagram post, he claims upcoming pastors and gospel musicians are not exempted from the act of flaunting fake watches. He however gave a list of some notable people whom he claims wear the real deal. Read post below.

Thanks @feeljeni, tell them!

Guys, ACT YOUR WAGE!!!

Don’t fake what you are not, live within your means!!

I know someone who went to jail for 5 years selling fake jeans, you heard right; ‘True Religion’ jeans sent him to prison!!!

If you can’t afford a real Rolex, Patek or Audemars, buy Seiko, Citizen, Timex or Swatch!

I have never seen a greater concentration of fake watches anywhere on the globe, than in the Nigerian entertainment industry. Gospel musicians, upcoming pastors, OAPs etc aren’t left out of this idiocy.

Statements like “My Rolex is not Fake I bought it for N350k” only serve to showcase the ignorance of many entertainers. There is NO ROLEX, AUDEMARS, PATEK, RICHARD MILLE OR VACHERON for N350k! ITS FAKE AS HELL! The cheapest Rolex starts from about $5-6k do the math! Even second hand will still set u back circa $2k for a deadbeat and practically mutilated piece. So a brand new luxury watch for N350k is fake o!

Up to 90% of the watches in the industry are FAKES!!

Now, it’s not just image fraud, when you try to act like you are larger than your true worth, it’s a proper crime that can earn you time behind bars!

Of course a few legit guys wear original pieces and personally I have seen @davidoofficial, @chairmanhkn and their crew, @wizkidayo, @donJazzy, @shestolani, @cuppymusic, @iambangalee, @judeengees, @iamseyishay, @official2baba, @do2dtun, @omonioboli, @hushpuppi, @officiallindaikeji, @iam_emoney1 and a sprinkle of others rocking genuine watches and I celebrate them today.

But a large number of others are sadly fake!

If you want to buy @Rolex or @Cartier or Piaget buy from @pololimited and if you want @richardmilleofficial or @audemarspiguet buy from

So please, throw those bescumbered Folexes, Pafakes and Fraudemars into the bin before they send your doltish ass to prison, where the fake money you show off on the Gram won’t post your bail! ~FRZ

The state government said it took this far reaching decision after an expanded security council meeting of all security, government and traditional leaders that held on 15 March, 2018. The security council who met at the office of the state governor, Kashim Shettima, also discussed the need to return internally displaced person to their reclaimed and rebuilt communities.



To that effect, the stakeholders agreed that elaborate security infrastructure and personnel must be put in place before flagging off the return to communities.

To speedily establish structures of civil authority, viz, Local Government Council authorities, para-military agencies, the judiciary and traditional authorities, as pre-requisite to relocating IDPs to their LGAs of origin"



"Maiduguri - Bama - Banki Road will be re-opened on Saturday, 24h March, 2018 to civilian traffic. In order to improve on, and enhance existing intelligence gathering techniques, the Nigeria Armed Forces was implored to encourage senior military officers in command positions to closely liase and synergise with traditional rulers in their areas of operation and also endevour to regularly attend the meetings of the security Committees at the LGA level. All boarding secondary schools in the State with the expectation of those in the Maiduguri and Biu Metropolis will, until further notice, be closed down with immediate effect.



Any person(s) or group found to be collaborating with Boko Haram, no matter how highly placed or highly connected, will be speedily brought to book in accordance with the laws of the land.

"On the growing menace of drug abuse;

i. All stakeholders in the State will be fully mobilized and sensitized to squarely address the problem

iii. All dealers in illicit drugs and substances as well as drug abuse offenders, no matter their position in society, will be speedily brought to book in accordance with the laws of the land.

iv. Intensive and sustained media campaign against the dangers of illicit peddling and illegal consumption will be mounted

"All premises in the State where the illegal consumption of alcohol illicit drugs and substances, and other vices detrimental to the moral well-being and security of society take place, especially in the Galadima Area of the Maiduguri Metropolis, will be closed down immediately.

"Relevant agencies of Government, both State and Federal, will be mobilized and empowered to address the menace constituted to the general public by some operators of commercial tricycle, popularly known as Keke NAPEP.

"To sensitize the general public on the importance of obtaining the National Identity Card Number, which is now a pre-requisite for obtaining Voter's Card and International Passport

"The Borno State Government will facilitate the establishment of a biometric data capturing centre for the issuance of Saudi visas in order to ease the anticipated suffering of intending pilgrims to the Holy Land."

Ten persons, including a traditional ruler, the Onu Agbenema, Musa Edibo; and his wife have been killed, while several houses were burnt down by suspected herdsmen in separate attacks on Agbenema, Aj’Ichekpa, Opada and Iyade villages, on Monday.

Agbenema is in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The attackers who were allegedly armed with sophisticated weapons hid in the bushes around these villages from were they reportedly launched deadly attacks on their targets.

According to the natives, the herdsmen whose mode of operation is to set the houses ablaze and open fire on the fleeing inhabitants, allegedly slit victims’ throats and cut off their vital parts.

The natives who would not want their names in print stated that the administrator of Omala LGA, Ibrahim Aboh, was lucky to have escaped from the attackers.

Also, the houses of former chairman, Adofu Stephen; and that of his parents were burnt.

Residents said soldiers who were drafted to curtail the herdsmen’s rampage allegedly refused to assist them to repel the suspected herdsmen.

“We were surprised when we approached the soldiers who were stationed at the Guest House at Abejukolo for assistance.

“They refused to act professionally, as they used their vehicle to block us from advancing to the troubled spot to help our people.

“They have razed down Ojuwo Ajomayeigbi, Iyade, Agbenema and Opada villages.

“We want the world to come to our assistance before they exterminate and inherit our land.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state command said he was yet to be briefed by the DPO in Omala.

Actor Uche Maduwagwu has reacted to BBNaija’s Ifu Ennada’s rape revelations.

Recall Ifu, had taken to her IG page earlier to write about how she was raped by someone in the entertainment industry and how she fell into depression.

Reacting to the disclosure, Uche slammed her saying she needs to report to the police, not social media.

”Report to the Police if you were Raped, not Social Media…

@ifuennada Dear, Rape is a serious offense against God, and it’s a criminal offense too anywhere in the world,

so if indeed, you allegedly know the person that raped you in the entertainment industry in 2016, why not go report such a person to the police and get him arrested, or don’t you want justice again? After reading your long epistle on your alleged ordeal, i was actually waiting patiently for the very part where you’ll tell us that you got your rapist arrested, but to my surprise, that never happened.

So what’s the need bringing this issue to social media? @ifuennada Rape is not only a topic for social discourse, its a criminal, inhuman and a dastardly act against any woman, so why didn’t you report the person who allegedly raped you to the police and get JUSTICE? That’s the only story that would have encouraped someone else who has been in such an UGLY situation to speak out…. If you are bold enough to bring this issue up on social media, bold enough to allegedly make a MOVIE about it, why are you not BOLD enough to get the rapist arrested? Just thinking aloud…

”Thoughts anyone?

Nuhu Ribadu, former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is doing “extremely well” in the fight against corruption.

Speaking on the sideline of an anti-corruption townhall meeting tagged ‘A spanner in the wheel of corruption’, organised by the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Foundation in Abuja, Ribadu said there is “so much noise” in the country regarding corruption.

He said it is natural that the fight against corruption will raise many questions and debate.



“Buhari is doing extremely well,” he told TheCable, adding: “Fighting corruption is not easy; the more you see people are complaining, the more it means you are doing well. So it is a sort of badge of honour for those who are doing it.

“There are a lot of people saying so many things, but it is natural when you are fighting corruption. When it is silent, then things are not happening. So I am very okay with what is going on.”

The former EFCC chairman said the recent corruption perception index released by Transparency International (TI) — which ranked the country low — does not address the progress made in the ongoing anti-graft war.

According to him, TI’s report “is just a perception.”

“Let Transparency International come and tell me a country that has 4,000 criminal cases of ongoing trial in their own courts that is not doing well in fighting corruption,” Ribadu said.

“The perception is so because people are complaining, every single person you ask in Nigeria will say, ‘why me? Why not others.’ So that sent a message as if things are not going on properly. The moment you see these type of things happening, put your head up because you are doing very well.”

Juliet Ibrahim this morning tackled the voting result yesterday, and said it was tampered with. She says there’s no way in heaven Teddy A will have such low votes.

Miracle took the lead of votes with a percentage of 27.98, while Tobi followed with 16.69, followed by his drama queen, Cee-C with 14.19%, then comes Lolu with 12.8% and Teddy A with 8.41%. Cry baby Alex, follows the singer with 8.19% while the singer’s love interest, BamBam follows with 6.40% which leaves Anto with the least votes, a total of 5.28% thereby leading to her eviction from the show.

Juliet feels the voting result was tampered with as there’s no way Teddy A could have gotten 8.41% votes.

A follower of Juliet wrote; “Guys, just know that, that result is not for Teddy A, cos if you check when they were first up for eviction, Bamteddy was second with a little margin”.

Then Juliet Ibrahim couldn’t agree less, as she wrote; “Yes, It seems fishy”.

She further wrote; “Most people were splitting votes. That should not be the case people. It’s a game. We need to be for one person only when he’s evicted. This is not good for us when we know our strength is actually there. We are one and we can make this happen next time. Please no more vote splitting fam. #teamteddya”

There’s a trending Whatsapp group message making rounds on Social Media.. and it’s content has us all confused.

Yesterday, during the Sunday Night Live Eviction Show, Housemate, Tobi was given two strikes.

Moments later, we get to see a group Whatsapp message of “Team Tobi Abuja”, where a user in a message posted at 5:56 PM before the eviction show, said and we quote “One of the organiser and sponsor is my boss. Tobi will be strike tomorrow evening in the live show for telling ANTO and LOLU to put CeeC on eviction.”

“The video will be played in the presence of everyone tomorrow”

Tonight during Big Brother Naija live eviction show, Ebuka stepped out in a lovely Agbada, similar to the famous Agbada he wore to Banky W’s wedding in 2017.



Though its in a different colour but it was designed by the same man, Ugo Monye. Did he nail the look again?
