Former Big Brother Naija housemate Ifu Ennada, real name Iheme Faith Uloma has taken to her Instagram page to cry out over her unplanned celibate life.
The light-skinned reality tv star shared a video on her page revealing that in the past few days she’s been waking up horny despite the fact that she doesn’t have a man in her life.
She posted the video below and captioned it,
”Audio isn’t loud, but you will hear me. Get your Igbo friend to translate for you if you don’t understand me.”
A while back, in a post shared on her Instagram page, Ennada compared the distribution of relief materials to the distribution of electricity bills amid the Covid-19 lockdown.
According to her, if electricity bills can reach every house it means relief materials must get to every family.
Some Nigerians on Twitter are quite disappointed with Nigerian actress, Funke Akindele and her husband for holding a house party amid the Covid-19 lockdown.
It was Funke Akindele’s husband JJC Skillz’ birthday and the celebrity couple threw a house party that had quite a couple of guests in attendance, including Nigerian singer, Naira Marley.
A video shows the couple hosting a large number of guests that’s presumably above the expected number of people in gathering that was ordered by the government.
This has caused a stir on social media with many people disappointed in the couple for engaging in such a thing amid the crisis going on in the country.
Some were even more disappointed with the actress whom they say didn’t consider the health of her twin babies before throwing such a party.
Watch the video below and see how some Nigerians are reacting to it,

Last Tuesday, a foremost Nigerian Medical doctor, Dr Alfa Saadu, died of the disease. Few days later, another Nigerian simply identified as Deola, also died of the disease. May their souls rest in peace, Amen.
An adorable 9-year-old girl, Oluwashikemi Ogunleye has graciously donated the sum of N950 to the Ogun State government as her own contribution to aid the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic in the state.
Her philanthropic act has since been lauded by the Governor of the state, Dapo Abiodun – the governor himself was the one who made the revelation while speaking to journalists at his Iperu Remo residence in Ikenne Local Government Area of the State.
Singling out the little donation from the youngest donor, Governor Abiodun stated that he was thrilled by the small but significant donation from the little Oluwashikemi.
The Governor said,
“I am particularly thrilled by the small but very significant donation from the youngest donor so far, Oluwashikemi Ogunleye. She used our USSD Code to donate 950 Naira.
“Oluwashikemi, I am proud to be the governor of a philanthropist like you. You are indeed the symbol of giving of ourselves to ourselves, and the future we are building together. I call on others to come forward and support the fight against COVID.”
While on his Facebook page, the Governor said Oluwashikemi followed the footstep of philanthropists who have proven that humanity remains intact.
He wrote,
“Not all superheroes wear capes. Little Oluwashikemi Ogunleye, who is our youngest donor so far, used the State USSD to donate 950 Naira to the Ogun State COVID-19 Pandemic Support Fund.
“Oluwashikemi followed the footsteps of leading philanthropists that have proven in our dear State so far that humanity remains intact.
“I am proud to be the Governor of a philanthropist.
“My personal message to you, Oluwashikemi is to continue to be generous. May Almighty God bless us through recovery from this pandemic on the grounds of your kind heart.”
Big Brother Naija reality star, Natacha AKide otherwise known as Tacha has hit back at Ubi Franklin after the latter went live on his Instagram to hold interviews with Mercy Eke and her former manager, Teebillz.
Ubi Franklin revealed during the interview that Tacha had once sent him a private message begging him to use his connections to help her get into the Big Brother Naija house. He said when he couldn’t help her, she resorted to making videos on social media insulting him.
Following Ubi’s action and damning revealation, Tacha took to her own IG live to blast the music mogul and also explain why she sent him a private message.
She said ;
“Ubi Franklin, you have kids to take care of, you have people you owe money. Are you done focusing on that?”
“The nerve, the effrontery for you to actually say, ‘if there’s one person I didn’t want to see in the Big Brother house, it’s Tacha’. Who are you? Are you my God? Are you God? Who exactly are you to make a statement like that.”
“You have people to take care of. You have kids to take care of, you have people to face. You owe people money. Go and pay them. Go and pay the people that you owe. Get my name out of your mouth.
She accused Ubi of trying to stay relevant by using her own relevance.
She said ;
“I know, I understand, this whole thing, like when you’re irrelevant, you want to just try to suck out of someone’s relevance… And I get you and I know you’re happy because this ten minutes of fame now, you’d use it, you’d try to exhaust it because that’s what you do. You’re an opportunist. But please, in all of the lies that you tell, do not, I repeat, do not open your mouth to say that you got Tacha deals because you got Tacha absolutely nothing.
On the infamous DM, she said ;
“I have never met you before, I sent you a DM once, and like I said, it was a business proposal, you take it or you leave it, and you left it and that’s it.”
She then accused Ubi of trying to pit her and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Mercy, against each other.
Tacha said: “I really wish that women support each other. If women support each other, a moron such as Ubi Franklin will not wake up from his rented apartment and talk to me.
“You as a moron, you want to try to put I and Mercy up against each other, ’cause that’s exactly what you did during your Live yesterday, trying to like, ‘oh what do you think about this, what do you think about this?’ “
Tacha then appreciated Teebillz for standing up for her during his interview with Ubi.
In the live session , Teebillz bluntly told Ubi that he “f***ed up” and that he was “a bit disappointed” in him.

The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, today announced that the state government would be offering free medical services to pregnant women and other persons with health emergencies in the state all through the month of April.
While speaking at a press briefing on Saturday April 4, the governor said the free medical services is part of palliative measures to cushion the effect of the lockdown imposed on the state to fight the spread of COVID-19.
“The Lagos State Government will for the duration of this lockdown, in the first instance throughout the month of April, take full responsibility for the medical bills of all patients who fall under the following categories and present themselves at all our secondary health facilities, meaning our 27 general hospitals and the maternal and child health facilities that we have round the state. Emergencies, casualties, cases including registration, laboratory tests and surgeries will be treated free of charge.
Maternity cases and all pregnant women that have to do deliveries in this month of April, either caesarean or normal delivery will also be attended to free of charge. All admissions within this period will be free and treated free of charge in the month of April at the first instance. What this means is that those that have the above-listed conditions that will need to access the hospitals will be treated free” he said
Lagos state has 108 confirmed cses of Coronavirus. Following presidential directive, the state went into a lockdown beginning from March 30 to last for up two weeks.
Africa, specifically Nigeria has become a center of attraction for both investors and new businesses, irrespective of the failures by several Startups in the country.
There has been significant growth with respect to investment and business development in the country, and this cuts across all areas of the Nigerian economy; E-commerce, mobile technology, fintech startups among others.
Despite the many possibilities and potentials in the Nigerian market, not so many new businesses are able to scale through the fundamental stage, and as such are either forced to relocate or perhaps fold up, if they don ’t end up been purchased by a third party company.
Some of the companies of the internet era that have failed the test of time in Nigeria at the fundamental stage include a couple of prominent businesses and/or brands who came in with bold statements such as OLX (classified forum), Efritin, Fero, Wiko, Wechat, Tambo Mobile, Easy Taxi, among several others.
While some of these businesses were able to scale through for years before going pear-shaped, others could barely scale through beyond a year. It’s interesting to note that many of these businesses share similar key issues that led to their respective failures, including a lack of proper research before entering the market, spending investor funds and never hitting the profitability mark, misappropriation of resources, lack of employee confidence, etc.
Sadly, a couple of existing Start-ups with seemingly great potential are still towing this familiar path to failure. This article aims to look at some of these businesses, past and existent, and shed light on key issues leading to their eventual failure.
Efritin
Owned by Swedish company– Saltside Technologies, Efritin officially launched as a classified advertisement website in Nigeria back in August 2015, however, could not scale past the second year of establishment in the country due to many reasons, with mismanagement of funds and high cost of data being the most prominent.
According to the CEO, Nils Hammar, Efritinhad suffered greatly from the lack of excellent internet penetration and adoption. Nils also emphasized on how the high cost of data, as well as the unfavorable economic condition during that time, had impacted negatively on the business.“We have a long list of KPIs to evaluate how things are performing. Compared to other markets, we didn’t see the same progress in Nigeria” Nils told the media.
“I think the data cost in Nigeria is very high. In comparison to other parts of West Africa, Africa and the rest of the world, it is very expensive to use the internet for the vast majority of the people. It is very difficult for e-commerce and classifieds because they are quite late in the evolution of the internet industry,” Nils added.
With no much doubt, Efritin’s exit from the Nigerian market points to the fact that their business strives in Nigeria was a non-profitable one.
While Nils’ reasons for the closure are justifiable, insiders also have it that the main reasons for the company’s inability to survive in Nigeria are major because of funds mismanagement. Recall back to 2016, Efritin former MD, Zakaria Hersi was accused of stealing thousands of dollars, while turning a blind eye to the internal crises that played a major role in their demise, especially as they were not able to raise more funding to scale the business any further.
Another key issue would be the lack of proper market survey, considering that other online classified platforms like OLX were not doing fantastically great as at the time of establishment in Nigeria.
Easy Taxi
Easy Taxi is another business/startup that failed at the point of debut in Nigeria, or better still let me say could not survive the test of time. Following the reception of a seed-funding valued at $10 million, the ride-hailing service which started off in Brazil back in 2011 expanded to Africa among other regions, launching in Nigeria sometime in 2013 and commencing operations in Abuja. 3 years down the line, however, the company hit the halt button and exited Nigeria.
Easy Taxi Nigeria is a subsidiary of Africa Internet Group who had the likes of Rocket Internet, MTN, Millicom, among others as Shareholders. It was hard to believe they wouldn’t survive the Nigerian economy for that long given all the major stakes in the business, however, as with most businesses that have failed in the past, Easy Taxi was not immune to the harsh realities of market penetration in a challenging market as Nigeria’s, hence its exit.
As for the reasons for their failure in Nigeria, it is still very unclear as all effort to lay hands on actual information has been to no avail. For the obvious, Easy Taxi had to struggle with proper penetration into the Nigerian market.
OPay
Talking about OPay, the story is a bit different as it is not a case of exiting the country. Instead, the fintech and multi-service company has been struggling with profitability since it arrived in Lagos, Nigeria back in August 2018. Here, there are several key issues that may lead to a bad ending for the Chinese company if care is not properly taken.
One of those many key concerns about OPay’s business in Nigeria is the over-reliance on financing to become profitable. While it is not news that Africa, and Nigeria as a whole, has become a focal point for foreign investors; OPay has keyed itself into the enormous opportunity therein, investing millions of dollars to pivot its multi-service platform which has been more of a liability than an asset. Why? You may like to ask; so far, the company has rather focused on spending, even when it is obvious that a lot of their business module is not sustainable, or perhaps, requires an overhauling in other cases.
As much as funding for a startup is very vital, working with a module that is sustainable or viable is as important. Sometimes, it is not all about spending money; a sustainable strategy sometimes cost less spending. It is even worse when a startup such as OPay fails to gather (despite having reasonable funding) the required expertise and knowledge to run the business, especially in this part of Africa where you have to go the extra mile to achieve significant success.
OPay’s services include ORide, OTrike, OFood, OLoan ,and the recently launched OCar among others. Here, it is obvious that a lot of activities are taking place simultaneously, however, how many of them are properly been managed? How many of the business are properly been accounted for by their respective management team?
While you are trying to figure that out, the Chinese company’s inability to turn profit yet could also be blamed on external stakeholder impact – the Lagos State Government has influenced some policy that may have impacted a vital operation of OPay negatively.
In a recent development, the State government placed a ban on the use of Okada on major roads within the state, and as a result, OPay has had to shut down its bikes operation not only in Lagos State but also in other states where its bike operation is functional, including Kwara State (although the company hasn’t released any official statement to that regards; insiders informed of how a majority of OPay staff was laid off in Ilorin following the okada an in Lagos).
The OPay bike-hailing service was meant to be the business module to lay the golden egg, but now what happens? In my opinion, it simply shows the extent to which OPay lacks an understanding of the environment with respect to the engagement of stakeholders and policymakers.
Also, in a recent report by a research website- Hindenberg, Opera was found guilty of several misconducts in its operations across the board.The company was not only linked to what was tagged as ‘exploitative loans’, but also misappropriation in the company’s operational cost, poor management, as well as certain corruption crisis specifically tied to the company’s current CEO, Yahui Zhou.
According to an insider whose name will be withheld for privacy reasons; she shared an insight on what the internal management looks like, and just like the rumors that have been making rounds on the internet, it wasn’t a fantastic one. According to her, the company has employed a lot of resourceful talents, while offering juicy benefits; however, fast-forward to date, the company has been landing a lot of slash on employees’ benefits including salaries.
Additionally, OPay was recently accused of falsifying numbers, which according to a reliable source, was from fake orders, and was intended to ‘promote’ or possibly increase its app usage. Whether this worked well for them or not, it isn’t the best approach for a startup that ordinarily should be after leaving behind a good first-time impression. What also happens to gaining people’s trust? I didn’t mention investors because, to them, it’s all about Return on Investment (ROI).
It is also worthy of note; OPay’s latest venture into mobile business. The Chinese company named its mobile brand- OLLA, and you are most likely not aware of what that means, I guess? This is only possible because the new devices have recorded low sales (near-zero in some cases) in over 80% of the shops they are been sold at the moment. That’s also aside from the fact that the devices are of low quality, forcing a lot of phone dealers to quit doing business with them.
There are more than a dozen, perhaps hundreads of startups who are most likely threading in this similar path. It is only advisable to stick to the most important things in starting a business, and two of them are sticking to a sustainable plan and recruiting efficiency over numbers, (or both simultaneously).

The Government of Osun State has confirmed that the Coronavirus patient who escaped from the state’s isolation center has been found.
This came after the state’s Commissioner of information and Civic Orientation, Mrs. Funke Egbemonde debunked the earlier report of six coronavirus patients escaping from the isolation facility in the state.
The Chief Press Secretary to Osun State Governor, Ismail Omipidan has now confirmed that the escapee has been found and returned to the facility by the police on Saturday afternoon.
He said;
“It is true that a patient, a woman escaped from the isolation centre, but she has been apprehended and returned to the facility.

Big Brother Naija 2019 Star, Khafi Kareem has seemingly bemoaned the adverse effect of the coronavirus pandemic as she revealed she was supposed to get married today.
Recall that on the 26th of December 2019, Khafi announced her engagement to reality TV lover, Gedoni on her Instagram page much to the joy of her fans.
According to a video she shared, she revealed she’d initially planned her wedding for the 4th of April, 2020 but that would have to be postponed because of the pandemic which she didn’t know would ravage the world like it has.
She then shared another point of view that we should be thankful to God because we do not know the other dangers we are actually being saved from as people have been advised to stay at home to curb the spread of the deadly virus.
A group of commercial sex workers in Benin City have been evicted from a hotel where they transacted their daily business.
The owner of the hotel said he asked the sex workers to leave his property because of fears of the deadly coronavirus the entire country is currently battling to contain.
Speaking to newsmen, he said ;
“I asked the prostitutes occupying my buildings to go home and meet their children and families at their various states because if any man who has the virus, meets any of them, they can easily share it among themselves.
“Like me now, I have children and I can’t ask my children not to embrace me and you know that these prostitutes are occupying my buildings and I am the one managing the facilities and so, I asked them to go home and stay with their children until the coronavirus is over”
The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) has released more information about the coronavirus, revealing that as many as 25% of people infected but showing no symptoms are spreading the virus.
The new findings are leading the CDC to broaden the range of who needs to wear medical masks, as they previously stated that only people showing symptoms should wear a mask.
Experts are urging the public to continue with social distancing, and they believe that everyone should be wearing masks to protect themselves against asymptomatic carriers spreading the virus.
A Nigerian man, Aghawarianovwe Ikie, who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, in the UK, has taken to Facebook to shares his near-death experience.
In his post, Ikie recounted how he initially thought he had a flu but when the symptoms persisted, he was examined by the health workers and tested positive for COVID-19.
Read his post below;
Here I was in my isolation bedroom at home, NOT at the hospital. But here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you’re my God, You’re altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me…
COVID-19: My Testimony:
I was in the valley of the shadow of death. But I abide in the secret place of the Most High & rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord, you are my Refuge, my Fortress, in you alone I trust.
I have been sick since on or about 12 March 2020. I initially mistook my condition for Flu. It was much later that it dawned on us that I was battling with Coronavirus. I was totalling broken down with 100% loss of appetite, cough, shortness of breath, extreme fever and sudden extreme cold.
My saving grace lied in the fact that I still managed to breathe unaided. So, when the ambulance eventually came to take me to the Covid-19 Hospital facility, I declined because I was worried that I might catch a more deadly strain of the virus in such an environment. Besides, the benefit of ventilator, I didn’t see any chance of hospital staff forcing me to eat as would my wife & children.
They literally forced fed me. The Paramedics carried out ECG Test on me & were happy with the results. They remarked that they were confident that I had Coronavirus & that members of my household unit were already all infected despite not having been formally tested. As at this point, you only get tested upon admission at the hospital. The nights were terrible; I sweated a river. On a particular day, I alerted my cousin, Olorogun Kenneth Okpara, about my predicament. He advised that I should read Psalm 91 in the mornings and in the evenings.
Shortly, thereafter (25 minutes precisely) he sent me a message that as he prayed for me, the Holy Spirit lifted a “dark cloud” from me & my house & replaced it with a white cloud. Some time passed and another brother, Mudiaga Dennis Ofuoku, advised that I should read Psalm 91 three times daily. I just smiled to myself. I can confirm that members of my family unit are fully recovered.
To the glory of God, I am also now almost fully recovered. My appetite is 100% back & the fever is gone. I lost no less than 7 kilograms in the short period. Please I do not want to receive phone calls as I presently require a lot of rest. God has been most merciful to me. I fall within the vulnerable group. I saw death, but prevailed, to His glory. Join me in expressing my gratitude to the Almighty.”

God bless you all abundantly to witness the next power shift in the world that will give glory to only God in the Highest… Adagba ma paro oye Kabiyesi Olodumare Iba re o.”

A Pastor recently met his waterloo after he was caught packing human faeces.
When questioned, the Pastor first claimed he wanted to use the faeces for an experiment before stating that he needed it as a fertilizer.
When asked why he didn’t use that of his children or church members, he said members are no longer coming to church at this time. However after one the residents pointed out that he could have used the faeces his members excreted before now, the Pastor defended himself by saying he never needed it then but needs it now.
Sonia Morales, ex-wife of Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna is thankful that the Coronavirus pandemic did not happen while she was with him.
According to the mother of one, staying indoors because of Coronavirus would have been bad if it happened 5 years ago because she was staying in a house without steady electricity and water supply.
In her words ;
Ok gotta tell you a story: listen up : Life was good, life is still good and guess what? It’s gonna get better! I can’t even complain about being indoors right now cuz Lord knows how bad it would be if this happened to me 5 years ago when I was staying in a house with no water and light coming off & on with a newborn baby that doesn’t stop crying and sweating and mosquitoes that won’t stop biting ( thank God we don’t look like everything we been through lol) .. nah!
It just crossed my mind like yesterday (as u know we all got some spare time to think) and somehow this whole situation came in handy as a tool of introspection, it helped me spot the obvious difference between our lives back then and our lives now, and even though I find myself getting all inpatient and restless with this whole idiotic situation, I steady remind myself that I must be stupid to let myself be anything less then grateful, and I don’t know your struggle and your problems, but I pray for you to see, find and acknowledge, from the bottom of your heart, that no matter where you stand at this moment , no matter how it seems to you right now , it ALWAYS, ONLY gets better, and once you do, you have changed the damn game in your favor! It’s not on you to know how it’s gonna happen, just make sure you know it’s gonna happen.
I promise you and you need to trust me on that. Love, S

Rosemary added that she had no regrets over her action as she did it to save her marriage.
