Nollywood actress and reality TV star, Lilan Afegbai has reacted to the allegation leveled against her mother, Carol Afegbai.

It was alleged that the Nollywood actress’ mother, now retired, was the officer that she killed a UNIBEN student Ibrahim Momodu in 2013, during her years in service.

Irele-Ifijeh of the High Court of Justice, Edo State in Charge No: B/CD/24C/2014.

“Why I didn’t sleep on any man’s bed during BBN” – Nengi reveals

Second runner-up of the fifth edition of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show, Nengi has revealed why she didn’t sleep on any man’s bed during her time on the show.

In a chat with PunchNG, the ex-beauty queen, who hails from Bayelsa State, stated that she decided to create boundaries from the beginning of the competition.

Nengi said,

“The housemates felt I wanted every guy and that is crazy. How could I want every guy and still not be with anybody in the house? I never slept on any man’s bed. Even as close as me and Ozo were, I still tried to set a boundary. I could play with people but for me, there would always be boundaries and nobody can cross them.

However, people took it the wrong way. They felt since I played with the guys, I must have wanted them. That was the biggest misconception people had about me. As a matter of fact, that was one of the reasons I went for Big Brother in the first place. I wanted to correct the misconception that I was just a fine face. And I feel I corrected that notion.”

Sharing a bit about her childhood, the pretty reality TV star stated that she grew up with her mother and her father was ‘never really there’.

“My dad was never really there. I can count the number of times I saw him. So, I grew up with my mum and she was the only one I knew. She
struggled to take care of me but the love between us is deep. Even if we didn’t have anything, I was always happy. We would be in our house and manage our lives. However, she died when things were becoming good. She added.

On her chemistry with Ozo, Nengi said,

“We are from two totally different backgrounds and that was it for me. I also knew he would always accept me for who I am. He knows who I am and does not judge me based on mistakes I have made.”

Fuel tanker explodes on Otedola Bridge in Lagos (Video)

It’s been reported that in the wee hours of Saturday, 17th of October, 2020, there was a fuel tanker explosion on the Otedola link bridge in Lagos.

Social media users who shared the videos online, reveal that the explosion occurred around 02:00am, Saturday morning… Reports as to whether or not there were casualties are yet to suffice.

Here’s some videos below,

It should be recalled that there was an Otedola Bridge fire accident that occurred on the Otedola Bridge at the Lagos end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway where a tanker lorry fully loaded with petroleum product fell, leaked and exploded on 27 June 2018.

The massive fire at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway broke out after the explosion of a petroleum filled tanker lorry leading to the transfer of flames to other vehicles approaching the lorry on the busy road.

The Nigerian Federal Road Safety Corps announced on their Twitter account on the night of June 28, 2018, that “A total of nine persons have been confirmed dead as a result of the incident.” [7] The Lagos State Government reported the number had risen to 12 on July 2, 2018.

The Federal Road Safety Corps also announced that at least 54 vehicles were burnt with the tanker. Nevertheless, a number of eyewitnesses, nearby residents and public believe that the reports on the economic loss and casualties are distorted by government and media.

”Dear Nigerians, i know many of you are angry… we are sorry” – Vice President, Yemi Osibanjo.

The Vice-President of Nigeria, Yemi Osibanjo has apologized to Nigerians over the situation going on in the country in the past few days.

According to the VP, the anger is justified because the Government could have moved faster and for that, they are sorry.

Read his full statement below ;

Dear Nigerians, I know that many of you are angry, and understandably so. We could’ve moved faster and for this we are sorry.

I fully understand how many young people feel. Many feel that we have been too silent and have simply not done enough.
These feelings of frustration are justified.

There are far too many people who have been brutalised at the hands of the police and this is unacceptable. We must take responsibility for protecting young people, even sometimes from those who are paid to protect them.

Over the past week, we have been following the protests, and I have had a number of discussions with key people in the administration that you deserve to be informed about. Transparency, after all, is a key tenet of government.

The reason being that only state governors, by law, can set up judicial inquiries in their states. The hearings will be public.

With Mr. President’s approval, SARS has been completely disestablished, and none of its former members will feature in any police tactical units.

I am sending my deepest condolences to the families of Jimoh Isiaq, and all those who have lost their lives at the hands of wayward police officers. To those injured, I wish a full and speedy recovery.

We have proposed that each state government set up a Victims’ Support Fund, which @NigeriaGov will support. This is the least that we can do to compensate for the injustice suffered at the hands of errant officers.

We also understand that the issues that you’re raising are bigger than just SARS. They’re deep and systemic and we’re undertaking comprehensive measures that will revamp the police by addressing issues of welfare, service conditions and training.

On Monday, Mr. President also reiterated his commitment to these extensive police reforms.

We will continue to update and engage with you all on these action steps and the ones to come, in the spirit of transparency, so that you can hold us accountable. We are, after all, here to serve you and we owe you a duty to win back your trust.

Keep safe. God bless you. – YO

Coinbox.org Adds Cryptocurrency Staking to The Wallet

With Coinbox.org, users can now generate passive income – just by keeping cryptocurrencies in a special wallet. This new feature offered by Coinbox.org is called staking. It can be a great way for hodlers to increase their cryptocurrency assets easily and effortlessly.

Staking networks use Proof of Stake as their consensus algorithm. To better understand what it’s all about, you need to get hold of this concept.

Both Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) share the same goal, which is achieving consensus in the blockchain. But the processes that allow reaching this goal in these systems differ from one another.

Blocks on PoS blockchain platforms are “forged” rather than mined. Contrary to the way it works in PoW systems, PoS networks blockchains can develop and validate new blocks with no special hardware (for example, ASIC).

Thanks to Proof of Stake protocols, any user who is in possession of the minimum required balance (stake) of a specific cryptocurrency can confirm transactions and earn staking rewards. In PoS systems, those “guarding” the coins always own the coins, and the larger the amount of those coins, the bigger are the chances for a node to be selected as another validator.

However, blockchain developers who created the PoS algorithm quickly understood that the selection by the stake size only would result in centralization, which, obviously, would be highly undesirable. That’s why other selection methods (like coin age-based selection and randomized block selection) have been added.

Coinbox.org has now introduced staking for ALGO.

ALGO is the official native cryptocurrency of the Algorand blockchain network. Logically, it’s based on the open PoS Algorand blockchain platform. Unlike most other public blockchains, this scalable platform boasts fast transaction processing time while sticking with the decentralization.

The advantages of Algorand Technology are the following:

  • Validators don’t risk to be slashed (slashing is an event where the validator gives up a defined amount of staked coins which are then redistributed to other stakeholders or burned).
  • It’s impossible for the minority and it makes no sense for the majority to cheat the system because it would devalue their holding

Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is the interest rate that reflects the total amount of interests, in this case, staking rewards, that are predicted to be earned in one year. Currently, it’s 6.12% for  ALGO.

Nigerian Man Gets Suspended From Work After Joining #EndSARS Protest

A Nigerian man, Samuel Adekojo shared photos of the suspension letter he got from his boss after joining #EndSARS protest.

Taking to his twitter handle, he posted the letter given to him by the Management of MBH Power Limited, where he works as an I.T Assistant.

It was stated in the letter that the management had set up several guidelines to prevent her staff from contracting COVID-19, which he might have contracted after joining the #EndSARS protest.

Hence, his suspension till further notice.

He wrote;

I tried not to put this up here. All I asked was that they send the staff a new letter stating when he will resume work or if they’d like him to self isolate…The idea of till further notice is not acceptable.

I already called the company and they seem not to reason with my view. For God sake, the young man went to #endsars protest for a good course on a day he considered to be his off day…

I can not see another youth being render jobless or unemployed at this time…

All I am asking for is a date to resume back to work!

The letter reads;

”I wish to officially inform you that Management has placed you on suspension from the Company from today Tuesday 13. October, 2020till further notice.

This is due to your participation in the ongoing #ENDSARSBRUTALITY# that has been going on now for some days all over the Country.

You will recall that Management has been doing its best to keep all employees safe since the beginning of COVID-19 Pandemic by asking us to work from home and when it is compulsory to come to work, official vehicle is being provided to avoid mingling with the general public.

Your involvement in the protest negate Management decision to keep us away from the public and for that reason, you have to be on suspension till further notice to avoid spreading the disease among staff.

Yours faithfully, HR.”

In his words,

Wholesome message from Adeboye. This is what Nigerian youths need to hear. They need to know that their leaders, especially religious ones, have their back.

We don’t need him to join the protest. With this, Redeemers will be urged to join the peaceful protest.

From the beginning of this year, I have been so proud of him. I did have a bet with one of my friends that Pastor Adeboye will be the first to speak in support of the #EndSARS protest.

If there is anything I said about Pastor Adeboye in the past that might have been misconstrued as rude, please forgive us. We want our future to be bright. We don’t want to be derailed emotionally physically and spiritually.
