This all started after the 23-year-old singer took to her Twitter account to congratulate her fellow housemate, Nengi on her recent appointment as the SSA to the governor and face of Bayelsa state.

Sighting this, a curious fan wanted to know why the reality star is yet to bag any ambassadorial deal since she left the house. A well meaning fan reacting, said people should stop being weird and insensitive by constantly reminding her about it.

The fan wrote,

“I feel it’s weird & absolutely insensitive to keep telling her hers is coming soon when she congratulates her friends. It’s really awkward, stop it pls. Say it in your mind. If you are that concerned, PRAY FOR HER!”

Reacting to the post, the BBNaija finalist said people are trying to attach her success to signing contracts for public approval, but it doesn’t work that way.

In her words,

“I really wish people understood how these things work. It seems as though people want to attach my success to signing (sometimes strange) contracts for public approval and praise. Anyway sha, the game is the game.”

While other guys were trying to spit lines and all?, Dozie came to me as the hyper guy that tried to cheer me up and was sure I was having fun. Dozie had so much energy, I remember asking him if he had drank and he told me, No, I don’t drink. I also remember him holding a bottle of water but still, he was so energetic, he wasn’t trying to spit lines so I became more relaxed with him.

On Saturday morning, Bolatito Rachael Oduala (Rinu) and Temitope Majekodunmi, #EndSARS youth members of the Lagos judicial panel, in protest of CBN’s action, decided to boycott the sitting.

Rinu was amongst those affected by the freezing order, which was procured on behalf of CBN by former attorney-general Michael Aondoakaa.

Chairman of the judicial panel, retired Justice Doris Okuwobi, said the panel would have to suspend today’s sitting as it could not form a quorum in the absence of the youth member of the panel.

Tiwa Savage reveals why she doesn’t hide her age

tiwa savage age

Award winning vocalist, Tiwa Savage has revealed why she wears her age with pride and isn’t shy to mention it in public.

tiwa savage age

Tiwa Savage in an interview with The Dotty Show on Apple Music disclosed that she doesn’t hide her age because she is proud and confident about it and sees it as a way to motivate younger folks.

According to her, a lot of people hide their age and she wishes to be a source of inspiration to those who haven’t achieved anything outstanding in their twenties.

In her words,

“In December, I was so scared and I said, ‘God, if this is it, just give me a sign. And he gave me the opposite, he gave me opportunities. I had a record with Sam Smith and it’s like so many other things that are happening that never happened in my twenties.

God was saying to me, age has nothing to do with that. On every platform and interview, I have always mentioned my age because I feel a lot of people run away from it.

So, I always tell people, this is how old I am, in case you find out outside. I’m going to let you know first. And I’m proud of it because I’ve never felt more confident.

I don’t want a 20-year-old girl who is out there who hasn’t won a Grammy or who hasn’t been signed (to a record label) to feel like it is never going to happen. All you have to do is look at me.”

”Before I became part of the entertainment industry, I have always been scared of marriage because my parents didn’t exactly have the best one.

My father was violent and they were always shouting on top of their voices. I grew up wanting to be a single Mum. Somehow, I think all men are the same, I still feel that way. Some people think that I must have been through a lot of heartbreaks, but not at all. I don’t allow men into my life. I’ve had only 2 relationships and I am currently single. I am tough oh. I don’t want to go through what my mum went through in the hands of a man.”

Someone that is Patient, Outgoing, Social, funny, intellectual, caring, modern & supportive. I am very good in bed and I have fine body. Have you heard of Benue girls? We have similar attributes with calabar girls.”

Biblically and traditionally, bride price should only be paid for only virgins – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri says

Nigerian Author and social media commentator, Reno Omokri, has stated that bride price should only be paid for virgins.

reno omokri palliatives

The controversial critic and author who made the statement via Twitter, said the Bible contains scriptural evidence to back up his assertion.

Quoting a verse in Exodus, Omokri said biblically bride price should only be paid for women who are to be married as virgins.

He also went further by arguing that in deeply rooted traditional African society, bride price is meant to be paid for only virgins and not non virgins.

Omokri wrote;

“What I am going to say will shock people. Scripturally, Bride Price is ONLY paid for virgins. Don’t argue with me. Argue with God. See Exodus 22:16-17. By virtue of Scripture (and also in traditional African society), you pay no Bride Price for non virgins. #RenosNuggets #EndSARS”

It should be recalled that on Friday, publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore shared videos online claiming that he and some protesters who stormed the National Assembly to paint #EndSARS graffiti on the road leading to the Assembly were attacked by policemen and five of them were arrested.

In an update shared on his Facebook page, Sowore stated that the arrested protesters were arraigned before a Magistrate court and the court denied them bail and ordered they be remanded in prison custody.

“After our #EndSARS Graffiti action at the National Assembly today, we headed to the Magistrates in Wuse area of Abuja where some of our colleagues were arraigned after unlawful arrests were carried out by the Nigerian police.

The court activities were scripted, it was unbelievable! The Magistrate denied our comrades bail using the case of Asari Dokubo as a justification. We were all shocked but not surprised. They were eventually led away to prison! Just another sad day and the reason we must keep fighting to liberate ourselves. #RevolutionNow” he wrote

Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, November 6, appealed to Nigerians who are yet to feel the impacts of his Administration and those who feel the government is not doing enough to bear with the government.

Represented at the town hall meeting by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, President Buhari said his administration has the interest of the youths and the people in general at heart and has been doing a lot to touch their lives.

We all know what we suffered during COVID 19, and as we are just trying to recover from this we also face another crisis. We appeal that you should please assist the government and be patient.

This government is dedicated to serving the people and we will continue to try our best to do so. I thank you all for your perseverance, understanding and patience,” he said.
