Big Brother Naija housemates, Omashola and Tacha held an Instagram live session recently and in course of the session, Tacha made her colleague, Seyi, inanimate by referring to him with the “that” pronoun.
The live Instagram session allowed for questions from the viewers and when one of them asked what they both think about their former housemate, model and actor, Seyi Awolowo, Tacha kept asking what he is.
It’s no news that Tacha and Seyi have not necessarily been the best of pals during and after their time in the Big Brother house. Even while at the house, Tacha once took a swipe at Seyi as she called him an underachiever.
Seyi Awolowo
While we’ve seen other housemates reconcile their differences after leaving the Big Brother house, it still feels like the controversial socialite holds a big grudge with Seyi, who is not the only one she has an issue with though.
While in the Big Brother house, Tacha was the least loved housemate and as such, made more enemies than friends — an animosity that obviously lasts even after the Big Brother house.
Watch the moment she refers to Seyi as a thing that she doesn’t know of,

REPUBLIC of Madagascar has asked the Federal Government of Nigeria to pay 170,000 Euros (N71.1M) for its COVID-19 herbal remedy sent to the Federal Government, it was learnt at the weekend.
According to TheNation, Madagascar sent an invoice to Nigeria as the drug is not to be made available for free.
The source reportedly said;
“For our consignments in Guinea Bissau, Madagascar has asked Nigeria to pay over €170,000. We have received the invoice because the African country has made us to realise that the drugs are not being given out free.
“We are being asked to pay for the drugs yet to be validated. Since the AU directed the supply of the drugs to African countries, we may have no choice than to pay for it.
This payment may, however, be one-off because mass importation of the drugs from Madagascar will not be cost effective. By the time we take into account the cost of freight, the amount will be too high.”

The Lagos State government says it is considering a full re-opening of the critical sectors of its economy.
The state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, disclosed this today when he spoke at a briefing after the State’s Security Council meeting held at the State House in Marina.
According to the governor, the State Government would be rolling out the Register-to-Open initiative as part of the plans that would enable it to assess the level of readiness of the players in the identified sectors for supervised operations. The governor said officials from the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) will be visiting restaurants, companies, religious houses to assess their level of readiness.
With the size of the State’s economy and numbers of businesses that operate in its domain, the Governor said the Government could not afford to keep people and businesses on lockdown permanently.
“We are at a level where we are reviewing the other arms of the economy. In the coming days, we will be starting what we call Register-to-Open, which means all players in the restaurant business, event centres, entertaiment, malls and cinemas will go through a form of re-registration and space management.
“There is a regulation that will be introduced to supervise this move. We will be coming to their facilities to assess their level of readiness for a future opening. I don’t know when that opening will happen in the weeks ahead, but we want these businesses to begin to tune themselves to the reality of COVID-19 with respect to how their workspaces need to look like.
“For us, it is not to say they should re-open fully tomorrow or any time; there has to be a process guiding the re-opening. We will be mandating LASEPA and Safety Commission to begin the enumeration process and the agencies will be communicating with all relevant businesses and houses in the days ahead. I must, however, caution that this should not be misinterpreted as a licence for full opening; it is certainly not. The State’s economy is not ready for that now.” he said
He added that the Government agencies also would be visiting places of worship to evaluate their level of preparedness ahead of full reopening. He stressed that social distancing and hygiene would be fully considered in determining whether mosques and churches can re-open in the future.
“We are reviewing and considering how the phased unlocking will happen. If we see huge level of compliance, then it can happen in the next two to three weeks. If not, it could take a month or two months. It is until we are sure all of these players are ready to conform to our guidelines,” the Governor asserted.
He urged businesses, religious houses, and residents to maintain the status quo while the State works out modalities for full re-opening.
The Governor disclosed that all the 10 staff of the Government House who tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19) had fully recovered and returned to their beats. He said the disclosure was necessary to further promote transparency in the reporting and management of coronavirus cases by the State Government.
He enjoined banks and markets to strictly enforce orderliness in their premises. He directed that elderly people must be given the priority to transact their businesses in banks and markets between 9am and 10:30am, after which other younger customers should be allowed to transact.
