Nigerian Billionaire and oil magnate, Femi Otedola has opened up on why he donated the hefty sum of 5 Billion Naira to his daughter’s Cuppy Foundation.

Tacha is not worthy to compete with Mercy for endorsement deals. – Kemi Olunloyo

Controversial investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo appears not to have a stop button when it comes to criticizing reality star, Tacha.

In the past few days, the Ms. Kemi has constantly criticised the reality star.

In a new social media post, Olunloyo expressed that Ciroc made a wrong PR decision to partner Tacha.

According to the journalist, the fact that the reality star was disqualified shows she is not worthy to compete with the winner, Mercy for endorsement deals.

Her post reads:

SUNDAY THOUGHTS

Mercy was afterall the rightful winner of #bbnaija2019, there should not be a need to compete in endorsement deals or what not. Tacha was not even evicted but DISQUALIFIED. If I ran the marketing department @cirocvodka I would never have them both in the paid partnership. It constitutes a PR disaster. Good luck to Tacha on her endeavours. I will NOT leave her alone. I’m a Journalist and will report about anything of interest I need to. As for the over 50 years she said I couldn’t achieve as much as her at 23yo, at your age my salary was $70,000 a year as a 22yo Pharmacist. You are living my past Tacha. Today I’m retired with three First class degrees, 30 Pharmacy, 23 PR 25 Journalism and still have firm breasts. Kill your pride and you can change that disqualification into a QUALIFICATION.
Congrats @official_mercyeke

Alleged $44.9m fraud: EFCC sets up special panel to investigate Air Peace boss Onyema

Nigerian anti-graft agency, The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has set up a special panel charged with investigating the $44.9 million wire fraud and money laundering case against Air Peace Chief Executive, Allen Onyema.

An EFCC source who spoke with The Nation, said the probe is to amongst other things, determine if Onyema is fronting for some politically exposed persons in the country.

“Upon the receipt of the charges, the EFCC chairman raised a team to probe the allegations against Onyema Eghagha, who were prominently mentioned in the indictment charges by the United States Government. The EFCC team is working on what I may term the ‘Nigerian components’ of the indictment including suspicious huge transfer of funds abroad, alleged abuse of letters of credit and money laundering.

“In fact, the Acting EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu directed the team members to work round the clock at the weekend because it is a case we must work on with speed. We are also interested in the roles played by two banks in the country including one that has been on our radar for a while for money laundering. This same bank was implicated in the $115million poll bribery scam in 2015 for which former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke is wanted for trial.

“We need to act because in the indictment, the US indicated its plans to freeze some funds linked with Onyema in some accounts within and outside its jurisdiction. It is standard practice to have collaboration with sister organisations all over the world. We cannot wait till the last minutes before playing our roles.”

The US Department of Justice have accused Onyema alongside his airlines Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, of “moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through some United States banks in a scheme involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.”

The US government In the charges against Onyema and Eghagha, accused them of using the money laundered to buy luxury cars, including a Rolls Royce for $180,000 and Mercedes for $88, 500 among others.

Onyema was also said to have spent thousands of dollars on personal purchases at Atlanta Georgia locations of Prada, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Louis Vuitton, the Apple Store and various airlines.

Actress, Anita Joseph calls out her best friend Uche Elendu and it’s messy! (video)

Actress, Anita Joseph took to her Instagram page to call out her best friend and colleague, uche Elendu.. and it’s messy.

The call out was over claims of extreme jealousy in their friendship.

Anita shared details of their messy fight via an IG video, where she alleged that her bestfriend, Uche got angry with her after she modeled the hair of another brand.

That’s not all.

Anita also alleged that Uche has been on the bad side of so many people, as she is always quarreling with everyone around her. She went on to recount how she bought weaves and artificial eyelashes of over N1m from her ‘best friend’ without getting any for free.

Asking if she is a witch who wants her to remain broke, Anita recounted how Uche told her she wanted to give her one of her products for free when their quarrel started. She told her ‘best friend’ to keep her name off her mouth because all is not well between. The actress also recalled telling Uche Elendu not to wish her a happy birthday because her birthday message will be filled with lies.

“I don’t want to end up marrying old man like Regina Daniels” – Actress Princess Nnenna Orji

Nollywood actress, Princess Nnenna Orji has assured her fans that she will never marry an older man like her colleague, Regina Daniels.

“No! I would not marry an older man like Regina Daniels. I can’t go that far. Regina Daniels did what she did for reasons best known to her. That’s what she wanted for herself and I respect her decision so much, but I wouldn’t do that, I’m an understanding person. What I desire in a man is different. First of all, I desire a God fearing man. I need someone that will understand me and go along with me, not someone that will ask me to dump my career. I’m not looking for a wealthy man; he should just be comfortable enough to take care of my children and me. But he must be richer than me.”

In the interview, she also addressed the rumours that Somadina Adinma started dating her because his then girlfriend, Regina Daniels dumped him.

She said: “Somadina and I are very close friends, we went to the same school and we’ve both been acting since we were very young. I cannot say it’s true, I cannot say it’s not true. My answer is I’m in a relationship; I’m not in a relationship. That’s the best way to answer the question because if you say you are in a relationship, they start asking who the person is. Let me leave people to their opinion until they see anything.”

They are to be taken into custody if sighted within the jurisdiction of the Canadian law enforcement authorities.

Documents revealed that American authorities have also reportedly briefed their Canadian counterparts about their case against the two Nigerians whose bank accounts used for the alleged suspicious transaction in the United States were domiciled in Canada.

Allen Onyema denies US fraud allegations, says all money transferred went through CBN

AirPeace CEO Allen Onyema, has denied all fraud allegations by the USAZ, stating that they are false and are in no way in line with his character as a person and as a business man whose only aim has been to build Nigeria and improve wellbeing.

“As the press statement clearly stated, these are indictment that only contains charges. I am innocent of all charges and the US government will find no dirt on me because I have never conducted business with any illegalities.

“Be rest assured that I also have my lawyers on this and these mere allegations will be refuted. I never laundered money in my life, neither have I committed bank fraud anywhere in the world. Every Kobo I transferred to the US for aircraft purchase went through the Central Bank of Nigeria LC regime and all were used for the same purpose.

“The American companies that received the funds are still in business. I never took a penny from any US bank or Nigerian bank. I am willing to defend my innocence in the US courts,” Onyema stated.

The US Attorneys office in Georgia had alleged that the Chairman, CEO, and founder of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has been involved with bank fraud and money laundering for moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through United States bank accounts in a scheme allegedly involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.
