There seems to be no end to this Daddy Freeze and Pastor David Ibiyeomie saga as Charly Boy has also reacted to it, lambasting the pastor for threatening and attacking Daddy Freeze on the pulpit.
A video went viral yesterday where David Ibiyeomie of the Salvation Ministries verbally attacked Daddy Freeze, for always ”insulting his father”, Bishop David Oyedepo.
In his fit of anger, he called Freeze a Bast*rd and threatened to deal with him if he comes at Oyedepo again. He also ”cursed” the day Freeze was born with the congregation cheering him on.
Daddy Freeze has since responded to Pastor David Ibiyeomie. He accused the pastor of racial discrimination and threat to life. He then ordered the clergyman to publicly apologize to Somalians, journalists, half-castes, etc as he insulted them indirectly in the video.
Reacting on Instagram, Charly Boy threw a series of questions at the clergyman and declared that he will make him an “assignment” if he makes Daddy Freeze a topic.
Charly Boy wrote,
“Look at these Con Men Of God.
So pastor Ibiyeome is saying that The Chief Racketeer, Pastor, Cardinal, Pope, Bishop Oyedepo can’t make mistakes because he’s all knowing?
Even in the house of worship he is calling our anointed Daddy Freeez a Bastard?
Pastor Ibiyeome,
Who is your father?
Where you not born on the express road bcos dats where most accidents happen.
Is Oyedepo man or God?
I know you have your head far up Oyedepo’s Ass dat u can’t see or hear clearly any more.
If you decide to make Daddy Freeeez a topic I will make you my Assignment.
God punish useless Fake Pastors”
A Nigerian lady on Facebook, Nkii Queen has taken to the platform to suggest that Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica’s disqualification came as a result of an evil plan organized by current members of the house.
According to her, the plan was orchestrated by rapper, Laycon and some other housemates were involved, including Nengi. Nkii says that these housemates made a secret plan to intoxicate Erica, knowing fully well that alcohol is her weakness and so used that to their advantage.
Nkii wrote on her page,
Having so much hatred on a woman to the extent of organizing meeting collectively planning how to destroy her through her weakness (alcohol) is the greatest witchcraft. people watch bb for just watching sake, but me, bb is a serious institution. i read every bit of people’s actions in that house. Erica been disqualified was a silent group plan. the remaining housemates in the bb house are all involved in making sure that Erica is been disqualified. There’s something Erica has that so many of them are having sleepless night for not having it. Nengi is the first suspect. But no wahala such is life. just that Erica is not sensitive enough to know her worth in that house and how her fellow housemates were not happy for her gentle smiling face. And let her serious do away with alcohol, that’s what they use in executing their evil plan against her. Though Laycon is the chief priest of the evil. I salute your courage on accepting responsibility of your actions and its consequence. Erica is already made name, she will be fine. i,m not her fanoo, but she’s a true love that doesn’t know what is pretence. ? you Erica.
Recall that, Ozo was captured on camera recently, professing his love to Nengi as he tells her that while they’re in a reality TV show, he’s also living his own reality and his reality is the fact that he’s in love with her and there’s nothing he can do to change.
While laying on the bed, Ozo approached Nengi to yet again, tell her of his feelings for her… this time, using the strong four letter word. He then tells her he never will say it to her again until they leave the Big Brother house as he believes the only way anything can work between them is if they’re both being truthful and honest with themselves.
Nengi has overtime refused Ozo’s advances as she continues to say that they’re nothing but friends only cause she actually has someone outside the Big Brother house but should in case that relationship doesn’t work, then can she only consider Ozo.
Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze has responded to Nigerian Pastor, David Ibiyeomie who cursed him for allegedly insulting his mentor, Bishop David Oyedepo.
Pastor Ibiyeomie, during one of his Sunday sermons, called Freeze a bastard among a number of other derogatory things. The clergyman insulted the media personality, who is known for tackling prosperity preachers — he also cursed the day Freeze was born and threatened him.
Reacting on his social media page, Daddy Freeze accused Ibiyeomie of racism, discrimination, and threat to life.
Freeze began in his response, “Even if you have a gun to my head, I’ll still speak the truth”
He then said he was “devastated” by Pastor Ibiyeomie’s video because of the “content” and he went on to reveal what about the content troubled him.
Freeze said he didn’t insult Bishop Oyedepo as Pastor Ibiyeomie claims, but simply drew the religious leader’s attention to a part of the bible.
Freeze said,
“Correcting the scripture is not an insult. Christ was criticized, Peter was criticized, Paul was criticized, even the Pharisees were criticized, so there’s no way you’re going to preach a message from the scriptures that you’ll not get criticisms.”
Condemning Ibiyeomie for likening him to the Somalians in a derogatory manner, Freeze said,
“I find it very devastating that just to get to me, Pastor Ibieomie will drag the whole Somalia nation. I’m very proud to associate myself with Somalians because they’re a beautiful people. It is hate speech to undermine them with derogatory words, like there’s anything wrong with the Somalians.”
Freeze also drew the attention of the public and the law enforcement agencies to the threat to his life.
He said,
“Pastor Ibiyeomie, I don’t know if you realize that a threat to life is a criminal offence…. If anything happens to me, I hope you know who to hold responsible.”
He also condemned Ibiyeomie for undermining the broadcasting profession just to undermine his source of income. Freeze said,
“You went on again to undermine the noble profession of broadcasting. I’m a proud broadcaster for the last 25 years. I’ve dedicated my life to this beautiful, noble profession…”
He said he takes his children to the radio station to watch him work with the hopes that one or two would take over the profession. He added that broadcasting isn’t something to be ashamed of.
“I think you should apologize to every journalist, every broadcaster, for undermining our work” Freeze told ibiyeomie.
Reacting to being called a “half-caste” by the pastor, Freeze said the word “half-caste” is “racist” and he asked that Ibiyeomie apologizes to victims of racism.
On being called a “bastard” by Ibiyeomie, Freeze said, “You say I’m not my father’s son. I put it to you to prove who my real father is.”
He further questioned Ibiyeomie if his utterances are in “synchrony” and “symphony” with the teachings of Christ.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has said that despite the recent hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit, the price of the commodity in Nigeria remains among the cheapest in Africa.
He made the statement at a joint press briefing in Abuja with the Minister of Power, Sale Mamman and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva.
Mohammed said; “In spite of the recent increase in the price of fuel to N162 per litre, petrol prices in Nigeria remain the lowest in the West/Central African sub-regions.
“Below is a comparative analysis of petrol prices in the sub-regions (naira equivalent per litre): Nigeria -N162 per litre; Ghana -N332 per litre; Benin -N359 per litre; Togo – N300 per litre; Niger – N346 per litre; Chad -N366 per litre; Cameroon -N449 per litre; Burkina Faso -N433 per litre; Mali -N476 per litre; Liberia – N257 per litre; Sierra Leone -N281 per litre; Guinea -N363 per litre; and Senegal – N549 per litre.
Outside the sub-region, petrol sells for N211 per litre in Egypt and N168 per litre in Saudi Arabia.
“You can now see that even with the removal of subsidy, fuel price in Nigeria remains among the cheapest in Africa.”

Big Brother Naija lockdown housemates, Laycon and Vee, were recently spotted in the kitchen having a conversation about disqualified housemate, Erica.
Laycon had revealed to Vee that he found Erica’s earrings in the Head of House lounge and Vee who has never hidden her dislike for Erica, showed no interest to talk about her.
According to Vee, she doesn’t see why Laycon talks about Erica because he “deserves better“. She went on to say “God forbid” and added “You can’t bring any stupid girl to me and say you like her”
Laycon then asked Vee what she doesn’t like about Erica and she responded saying;
“She doesn’t know how to think for herself. She is weak, hers was bad”
When Laycon tried to put up a defense for Erica that everybody is “weak”, Vee responded saying,
“You will always make up an excuse for this girl and that is why I believe you were jazzed. You were jazzed. Now you have been vindicated. You have been vindicated. Yes I said it. Thank you lord”
At some point in their conversation, Vee started choking due to the smell from the Onion she was cutting. She then blamed Erica for what was happening… “She can hear me” “Oluwa oo!” Vee said

A Nigerian woman Idowu Mary Ronke, who has albinism has shared her journey to self-love and acceptance after battling with suicidal thoughts.
On Monday September 7, “In a post titled “Specially and wonderfully made” Idowu shared how she learned to overcome stigmatization and found self-acceptance after years of battling with suicidal thoughts, bodyshaming and discrimination.
“I’m a kind of person that used to be ashamed of myself for being an Albino, and that’s because of how people always make gest of me by calling me “afin” (albino) and sometimes they’ll call me “afin o n jeyo” ( albino doesn’t take salt), and that always got me being body-shamed, to the extent that I would be weeping and crying, it got to a point where I thought of taking my life, cos I felt so discriminated and criticized,”.
“Unlike many Albinos who face a variety of health care, dermatological and opthalmologic issues like sunburn and risk of skin cancers, Ronke said her skin looks fresh and healthy. This she credited to her grandmother, who loved and took good care of her.
“But my grandma loved and tried all her possible best to take good care of me and my big sis, (of the same skin color) that people always wondered if I do take salt at all, cos of these theories that albinos don’t take salt, and I always take salt, cos I do eat the same food that others eat. Meanwhile, on the other side, some people would just call me anytime I walk on the street, and they would start appreciating and glorifying God through me, and would even be praying for the person who is taking care of me,” she wrote.
Ronke also shared an encounter with a lady that further boosted her self-confidence and self esteem.
“There was a day I went to a bank, and the cashier, after deposited my money, asked me about my name, and I told her, and she also asked if I always take salt, and I said yes, she then said “please can you do me a favor” I said yes, and she said “pls when you get home, tell the person you stay with, regardless of who the person is, tell him/her, that I said thank him/her for taking care of you, because you are so fresh and clean and beautiful” I was like, awwwnnn thank you. Since then I’ve been feeling myself and also proud of myself, because I’m specially made.
Want to use this medium to appreciate my late grandma for the cares and maintenance of my skin color and that of my big sis.”

Popular Nollywood Actor, Yul Edochie has seemingly blamed the white people for the wrong things happening in Nigeria and other African countries.
According to the actor, the colonial masters structured the system in a way that will never work and this has aroused misunderstanding and fighting amongst Africans.
He disclosed this in a reply to a question that was asked by a fellow Nollywood star.
Actress Uche Jombo had tweeted a question ; Who curse Nigeria ?
Oyibo people! They structured it in such a way that it will never work. So we’ll keep misunderstanding and fighting each other, making little progress and depending on them for everything. Same thing they did in many other African countries. Africa needs to wake up.

Big Brother Naija Housemate, Erica Nlewedim has finally granted her first interview, since her disqualification from the house.
In the interview, she shares why she got disqualified and how she really feels about Kiddwaya and Laycon. She also explains what was going through her mind on that fateful night.
Disqualification
I feel relieved. I’m happy to be outside. I’m happy to see my loved ones and my supporters, I really needed that, so I’m very happy to be outside the house.
Lesson Learned
The lesson I’ve learned from staying in the house is that I should be fine with being alone. I noticed that I wasn’t fine being alone, but now I know, that I have to be fine with being on my own.
Kiddwaya
What drew me to Kiddwaya is the fact that, I feel like that we, kind of have some similarities. We are both carefree, we are both crazy, we are kind of complete babies too, and our conversations follows very naturally. We are very cool.
I do not think Kiddwaya feels the same way about me, but I don’t really care about all that. I think Kiddwaya played a role in my getting strikes, but I think, it is still my responsibility, and I feel like I also played a role in him getting strikes.
Laycon
What went wrong with my relationship with Laycon… I think it’s when he started telling people I tried to kiss him. To my knowledge, it only happened once, and I was intoxicated. He knew if not for the alcohol, that won’t have happened in the first place. And he lied that I tried to kiss him, a couple of times. Once is not a couple of times, and he decided he didn’t want to talk to me anymore. So I’m wondering why he kept talking about me to different people, making look bad.
I think the rift between me and Laycon can be fixed. Because to me, I don’t even have any negative feelings towards Laycon. One thing about me is, whenever I’m angry, I just want to tell the person how I feel, and within a few minutes, it passes. And I think I’ve done that over and over. So I don’t have any grudges.
Plans after the show
Ventures I will love to go into, obviously my acting. I will love to be a brand ambassador for numerous brands. I will love to go into real estate. I will love to go into beauty… and I will love my fans to support me.
Big Brother Naija ‘lockdown’ housemate, Laycon, was so delighted that he was picked as the Deputy Head Of House and he could not hold back his joy when he finally entered the luxury lounge.
After an intense competition earlier this evening with housemates vying for the Head of House for this week, TrikyTee, for the very first time, emerged as winner of the challenge.
TrikyTee was initially among the five housemates who had a tie after they played the game earlier this evening. He broke the tie and emerged as winner of the challenge and was given a minute to choose his deputy.
After careful consideration, the gentleman chose rapper, Laycon as his Deputy Head of House.
Laycon was so excited that he’d enjoy immunity for the week and when he gained access into the lounged, he screamed ; ”Omo na so this place fine!!”

Both housemates now have immunity from this week’s eviction and have access to the executive Head of House lounge and all of the benefits that comes with it. This will be the very first time TrikyTee will become Head of House or Laycon be chosen as a deputy.
The feat is quite an achievement for them as they can be seen overly excited over the development.
46-year-old Ugandan activist, Stella Nyanzi has disclosed that she prefers being in a relationship with younger men than with older men.
According to her,she’s not a submissive woman and she likes to be in control, adding that s*x is good with younger men.
Speaking to The ObserverUg on Monday, September 7, the MP aspirant revealed that she is in a relationship with a younger man who is also running for MP.
“I am in a relationship with a man younger than me. Most of my love relations have been with men younger than me. I love this man dearly but politics is separating us. He belongs to NUP and is initially from FDC too. I think the source of conflict is around his support for the NUP candidate running for the same position as me,”
“My lover is also running for MP; so, I think the intensity of the political season needs him to be loyal to NUP. It’s like I’m competing with his political party and its members, and I am too good for that. We are currently not in a good place. I am not entertaining anyone who is supporting my opponent over me,”
“I love younger men, because I am not a submissive woman who will go around kneeling for this old man and walking on my knees. I like to be the person in control and I have been in control of my life for a very long time. I make my own money… Sex is also very good with younger men.” She added.
Speaking further, Dr. Nyanzi said she loves younger men because she is not submissive and sex with them is great.
The mother of three officially quit her job at Makerere University in July, 2020, to pursue her political ambitions. She is currently vying for the Women Representative Parliamentary seat in the country’s 2021 general elections.
Recall that the feminist was arrested and sent to jail in 2017 for calling President Yoweri Museveni a “pair of buttocks”
The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has explained the reason for the sudden increase in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and electricity tariff across the country.
Buhari, who was represented by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, made the statement at the ministerial performance review retreat on Monday, September 7, 2020.
The Federal Government blamed the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the increase in petrol pump price and electricity tariff.
He said,
“The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a severe downturn in the funds available to finance our budget and has severely hampered our capacity. One of the steps we took at the beginning of the crisis in March when oil prices collapsed at the height of the global lockdown was the deregulation of the price of Premium Motor Spirit such that the benefit of lower prices at that time was passed to consumers.
This was welcome by all and sundry. The effect of deregulation though is that PMS prices will change with changes in global oil prices. This means quite regrettably that as oil prices recover we would see some increases in PMS prices. This is what has happened now. When global prices rose, it meant that the price of petrol locally will also go up.
“There are several negative consequences if government should even attempt to go back to the business of fixing or subsidising PMS prices. First of all, it would mean a return to the costly subsidy regime. Today we have 60 per cent less revenues, we just cannot afford the cost. The second danger is the potential return of fuel queues – which has, thankfully, become a thing of the past under this administration.
“We do not have the resources at this point to continue in this way and it will be grossly irresponsible to borrrow to subsidise a generation and distribution which are both privatised. But we also have a duty to ensure that the large majority of those who cannot afford to pay cost reflective tariffs are protected from increases. NERC, the industry regulator, therefore approved that tariff adjustments had to be made but only on the basis of guaranteed improvement in service.”
Big Brother Naija housemate, Kiddwaya has pleaded with Big Brother to bring his lover Erica back into the house.
The billionaire son made this request when Big Brother asked if he wanted to discuss anything during his diary session, he humbly requested that Erica be brought back into the house.
As expected, Big Brother turned down his offer, reminding him that he knows it’s impossible.
Kiddwaya in response, noted that he was just trying his luck.
Recall that, Kiddwaya earlier admitted that he misses his romantic partner, Erica.
Erica was disqualified from the Big Brother Naija Lockdown reality show on Sunday after she got a third and final strike due to her unruly behavior on Saturday.
She was also queried for peeping through the camera window and trying to engage with the production team which is a flagrant flouting of the house rules.
Kiddwaya says he misses her and he’ll do everything to help her when they meet again.
Kiddwaya said,
“I dey miss this girl small sha….I miss her a lot. When I see her face it makes me happy and the way she used to come sit on my laps.
“I know very well that for sure when I’m done here, I’ll help her anyway I can. It pains me that she lost all the money, all the hardwork and everything just gone like that”.
An 11-year-old boy has become a hot topic after saving his sick grandmother and driving her to the hospital in a Mercedes Benz in Indianapolis, USA.
PJ Brewer-Laye took the brave step expected of an adult after his grandmother, Angela started feeling dizzy, weak and unable to see clearly, with no one else around to help her.
According to the New York Post, when the elderly woman was ill, she leaned against the stop sign on a road and her grandson who was driving his go-kart at the time saw her and came to her rescue.
“I was leaning against the stop sign, and all of a sudden, I look to my right, and I see my car, my Mercedes-Benz coming towards me. Just in an easy, calm manner, it was coming towards me. I looked in the car. It was PJ,” Angela recalled.
The senior citizen commended her grand son’s driving skills saying he had become a “pro” within a short period of time.
“This child is only 11 years old and drives like a pro. He always rides either his four-wheeler, go-kart or his dirt bike while I’m trying to get a little exercise in,”
she said.
The grandma said her grandchild who is close to becoming a teenager after turning 12 was calm and collected during the whole period.
“He drove me home, and he pulled in the driveway. And when I say he pulled in the driveway so precise, because my driveway is kind of narrow … He didn’t go up the curb, in the grass, nothing.
“He pulled in the driveway, in the garage, and helped me out the car. He’s an extra special little boy and he doesn’t ask for anything in return,” the grandma said.
It was discovered that he learnt how to drive by periodically reversing and parking vehicles in the garage.
According to Ozo, Erica was walking on eggshells after her second strike and should have been responsible enough not to let herself down.
Ozo speaking to Biggie during his diary session on Monday said he feels sorry for her because BBNaija is once in a lifetime opportunity which should not be taken for granted.
Ozo said,
“With Erica’s disqualification I know the difficult thing for her is that this is a one in a lifetime opportunity and she let herself down.
“I felt sorry for her. I would not have thought Erica would be that person to be disqualified
“Kiddwaya should not be blamed for her disqualification because each individual has the right to be responsible for their actions.
“Laycon was feeling bad too but he is also not to blame as Erica should have been careful enough.
“As an adult, whatever situation we put ourselves in we need to learn. With time I hope she learns and recovers.
“Erica was walking on eggshells and would have learnt and been calm when housemates tried to help her. I don’t think Big Brother was harsh with the decision.”
Big brother Naija housemate, Laycon is set to be rewarded with a complete image and style makeover deal by celebrity stylist and lifestyle traveller, Uche Nnaji.
According to him, he was highly impressed by Laycon’s self control and emotional intelligence which he exhibited in the face of Erica’s insults. Hence, he and his team will be rewarding him with a complete makeover.
When asked “Why now? Why Laycon?” Uche Nnaji responded that he just wants to reward the trait and behaviour he would like to see in his own children.
As I watched several Clips and Post that littered the BlogSphere last night and saw how the dignity and self-confidence of a young man was under attack by a fellow housemate, and despite all he remained calm. I couldn’t help checking out his page and asking myself …Do we still have YOUTHs like this???.
….
Laycon would be the very FIRST BBN housemate I am ever putting on my page to talk about while in or out of the house. I wish it was about his Sartorial Qualities( Which needs to be discovered ?) but about his display of uncommon SELF CONTROL and Emotional Intelligence (which is a rare trait found these days among most nouveau celebrities ) to millions of Impressionable minds on a global stage.
And as an Image Consultant and Sartorialist , who understands the importance of ABC ( Appearance Behavior and Communication) my team and I would be rewarding such behavior with a Complete Image & Style-Makeover deal as soon as he steps out of the house .
Former Presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has slammed Nigerians who raised over $15,000 for disqualified BBNaija housemate, Erica.
The popular social media commenter and Lawyer is angry that Nigerians were able to achieve the milestone donation for Erica within 5 hours but have not been able to put up any resistance against President Buhari over the recently increased fuel pump price and electricity cost, 5 days after the decision was made public.
Reno Omokri who singled out Nigerians who always say “come and lead the protest”, stated that we act spontaneously for irrelevancies but look up to others to act for us on relevant things.
According to him, Nigerians deserve President Muhammadu Buhari for their inability to act on relevant things.
In his words;
“In 5 hours, Nigerians raised $15,000 for #BBNaija’s Erica. In 5 days, the same Nigerians have not been able to raise any resistance to General Buhari’s increase of fuel and electricity costs.
If you talk, some Nigerians will say come and lead the protest. Who led them to raise a record breaking $15,000 in 5 hours? We can act spontaneously for irrelevancies, but we are looking for others to act for us on relevant things! Nigeria deserves General Buhari!”.
