Nigerian Chef, Folashade Shoyonbo, on Sunday in Lagos emerged winner of a Jolof Rice Contest after beating chefs from two other West African countries.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Shoyonbo beat several others from Nigeria, Togo and Benin Republic during the contest at the 15th AKWAABA African Travel and Tourism Market which opened on Sunday in Lagos.
NAN reports that the Jollof Rice Contest, which was organised to promote culinary tourism in Africa, saw two other Nigerians, Deborah Esene Fatima Lawal, clinching second and third positions, respectively.
Shoyonbo said she was surprised over her victory and never envisaged winning the contest as she left immediately she presented her cuisine to the judges only to be called back.
She advised other chefs to stay tenacious and dedicated to their work, saying that success awaits those who persevered.
She thanked the organisers for encouraging African chefs and for giving her the platform to showcase her cooking talent.
“Am so happy right now; I never saw it coming, in fact it is a surprise for me and I could not hold my tears when I was told I emerged the winner.
“I appreciate the organisers of this fair and everyone who had encouraged me since I embraced this profession and I will advise everyone to remain dedicated and focused on their chosen career.
“I was determined to be successful in this profession and here I am today,” she said.
Shoyonbo, a graduate of Accounting who also had Diploma in Catering, is a chef with Lagos Continental Hotel.
“I am a graduate of Accounting but was not fulfilled until I embraced this profession; there is huge gain in doing what you love,” she said.
NAN reports that Shoyonbo won the trophy and a fridge while her first and second runners up went home with generator and a set of dishes, respectively.
Big Brother Naija: Pepper Dem housemate, Tacha, on Sunday bragged to her fellow housemates about her stay in the reality show.
Tacha, who is one of the most talked-about and criticized housemates of the ‘Pepper Dem’ edition of the show, said this shortly after her conversation with Ebuka about her reaction to Diane following the missing box.
Recall that Tacha rained insults at Diane and accused her of getting drunk after she forgot the red box at the Arena. But, Cindy speaking to Ebuka on the incident described Tacha’s reaction as ‘senseless and uncalled for.’
However, Tacha after the eviction show told housemates that she would remain in the show till the 99th day no matter the hate and dislike from them.
“I would remain in this house till 99th day whether you like it or not. When you talk about me, you clout.
“I am bigger than the owner of this show, I was blown before big brother.
“If you have a problem with me, tell me and stop gossiping, you all are trending because of me,” Tacha said.

The sisters mounted the stage at the Microsoft Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, California to announce the nominations for the gong, but before they made the announcement, Kim gave a speech.
She said,
“Our family knows first-hand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves.”

“Telling their stories, unfiltered and unscripted.”
The crowd laughed out even more.

England, Nigeria, and Canada are ready to battle for the services of Chelsea’s defender Fikayo Tomori.
The 21-year-old was born in Calgary, Canada, to Nigerian parents but was raised in England. He is eligible to represent the senior national teams of Nigeria, Canada, and England despite playing for Canada’s Under 20 team and for England’s Under 20 and Under 21 teams.
Speaking on the situation, Tomori said,
‘I’m a citizen of all three [countries] so we’ll see. I was born in Canada and lived there about seven or eight months old. My family is Nigerian, obviously I live in England. It’s nice to have that. I can’t play Under-21 football anymore so the last international break I didn’t get called up to anyone. Next one maybe we’ll see.’
His manager Frank Lampard also spoke on the situation and insisted that he won’t try to influence his decision.
Lampard said,
‘It’s his choice. I wouldn’t tell him where to play internationally. But he’s played for [England] Under-21s and if he continues with his form and keeps improving then of course I would expect there to be potential for England if Gareth chooses to select him.
‘He shouldn’t worry about it at the minute. He should just worry about how he’s playing every game or how he trains every day and That will be a nice problem for him, hopefully, if he’s eligible for three. He can chose which one he wants.’
Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has just enrolled his six-year-old son, Abubakar Al-Siddique El-Rufai into primary one of Capital School Malali, Kaduna, a public school, in fulfillment of the promise he made in 2017.
El-Rufai in a state broadcast in December 2017, promised to enroll his child in a public school when he turns six years.
“The move is part of reforms to revamp public schools in the state to make them more competitive. We are determined to fix public education and raise their standards so that private education will become only a luxury.
“As we make progress, we will require our senior officials to enrol their children in public schools. And I will by personal example ensure that my son that will be six years of age in 2019 will be enrolled in a public school in Kaduna State, by God’s grace,” El-Rufa’i had said.
Briefing newsmen shortly after he enrolled the child, El-Rufai explained that it was a commitment that had been fulfilled.
“I made that commitment because I believe that it is only when all political leaders have their children in public schools that we will pay due attention to the quality of public education.
I went to a public school like this. The school I went to is not as good as this one, but here I am, because of the quality teaching I got.
“I intend to ensure that all our public schools offer quality education, and so we are encouraging all our senior public servants to send their children to public schools.
Once the public schools are improved to a point they are nearly as good or even better than private schools, no one will waste his money taking his child to private school,” he said.
Ummi El-Rufa’i, the mother of the child said,
“l am glad that we can send a strong message to our leaders and the elites, that we need to start making things work from within our homes. By the time we start attending public hospitals and send our children to public schools, the system will get better. This is a very huge step,” she said.
On his part, the little child said:
“I am sad that I will miss my old school, my friends and my teachers. But I have to help my father keep his promise”.
A North Korean national who works with CC7 Construction company in Lekki area of Lagos state, has been accused of killing a Nigerian man said to be his co-worker during a heated argument at the company.
The deceased identified as Chinua Nwogu, reportedly works with the company as a Chinese translator and he was allegedly hit with a forklift by the North Korean man.
It was gathered that after the Nigerian man was confirmed dead, the company claimed it was an accident to protect its image and that of its foreign workers.
The cold feet in reporting the case to the police for an investigation to be carried out, led to a protest at the company.
Emeka Anudu wrote;
“HE WAS MURDERED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY BY A NORTH KOREAN SADIST .
This is not xenophobic saga, this is wickedness, this is murder, this is evil. CHINUA NWOGU hails from Imo State, a schooled graduate of Mass communication and also holds a diploma in Chinese Language all in federal polytechnic Oko. Until he was murdered by a North Korean co worker at CC7 Construction company Lekki Lagos over a mere misunderstanding, he works with the company as a Chinese translator.
Below are the supportive clips and testimony from his fellow African colleague showing how cruel they were to him, and how they allowed him to die. The company wanted to claim it was an accident, just to protect the interest of their foreign brothers and that of the companies image. This murderous act could still be going on, and could be any of our relation.
Currently, there is an ongoing protest in the companies premises seeking justice to the death of this my friend and course mate then in school.. We pray you to please share this across various media platforms till it gets to the concerned Authority, to his state Governor, senator representing his Zone, and that of their House representative.”
A suspected armed robber and rapist, Makinde Abiodun, has been apprehended by men of the Ogun state police command after a lady who Abiodun and other members of his gang robbed and raped, identified him at the police station.
A statement released by the state police command spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, says that Makinde and other members of his gang currently at large, operated a ‘one-chance’ syndicate that put a vehicle on the Sango-Owode Road along Idiroko in Ogun State, disguising as a commercial vehicle but with an ulterior motive of dispossessing unsuspecting passengers of their belongings.
Oyeyemi in his statement, said Makinde and his other gang members robbed two ladies, Gloria Edoh and Saidat Akinola, who boarded the vehicle wherein Makinde and one other posed as passengers.
According to the victims, they both boarded the cab from Owode enroute to Sango, but on getting to Olokopupo area of Atan otta, Makinde and his gang members suddenly brought out knives and other dangerous weapons with which they forced them to surrender their belongings.
The sums of N37,000 and N48,000 were collected from each of the victims. They were also forced to surrender their Techno phones and thereafter, pushed out of the moving vehicle, thereby sustaining varying degree of injuries.
The victims had to go for treatments at a nearby hospital. As the victims were leaving the hospital, they sighted and identified Makinde as one of the hoodlums that attacked them and raised an alarm. He was apprehended by the DPO Atan-Otta, SP Abiodun Salau who was on a routine patrol of the area with his men.
While at the station, one woman (name withheld) who had earlier complained of a similar incident, identified Makinde as one of the hoodlums who robbed and raped her the previous day. She said that her pant was also taken away by her attackers.
“The suspect has confessed participating in the two robbery incidents” Oyeyemi said.
The police say Makinde will be charged to court soon while efforts are being made to arrest the other members of his gang.

Kraks TV is ready to give us another memorable night with the announcement of the second edition of their exclusive annual event ‘Kraks House Party’. This year’s theme is Freaky Friday and is set to hold on Friday, October 11, 2019 in Lagos.
While they are yet to announce the celebrities and socialites who will grace the event this year, one can guess from previous editions that it will be attended by the trending stars in Nigeria.
More indoor games and activities have been infused into this year’s edition to create a more lasting impression on the guests. Apart from that, assorted foods and drinks are also provided for the attendees so they can have the all-round house party experience.
Speaking on the announcement of the party, Kraks TV Head of Business Operations and Strategy, Tobi Olawale remarked, “We have been preparing for this party for a long time and we are so excited to finally make this announcement. Kraks is well known for throwing one of the most interesting parties in Lagos and we would like to keep the momentum going. I assure you, Freaky Friday will be special and that night is one you won’t forget quickly so don’t miss it!”
Last year’s edition was graced by celebrities including Toyin Abraham, Kenny Blaq, Tobi Bakre, DJ Consequence, Bryan Okwara, Korra Obidi, Iceberg Slim, MC Lively, Oluwadolarz, Hyenana, Mory Coco, amongst many others.
Just as they were still trying to process the Veto power reveal, the Housemates reacted to tonight’s Live Show in different ways.
On Chasing Clout
“When you talk about me, you clout,” Tacha yelled across the bedroom. Her shouts gave it away that she was extremely upset about the tonight’s Live Eviction Show which birthed the chat with Ebuka and the Pepper Dem Gang. Ike being Ike was standing at the door, laughing about what Tacha was shouting about. “If you have a problem with me, tell me and stop gossiping,” Tacha further exclaimed.
We finally got to hear Tacha reveal the cause of her screams, as she opened up to Ike. Basically, she was of the opinion that the Housemates all trended on her name this week. What made her assume such, you may ask. According to Tacha, Ebuka asked the Housemates some questions during his table shaking session and for some reason, they all seemed to have her name in their mouths. From the mixtape fight with Omashola to the fight with Diane, she seemed to be the highlight of the week. She didn’t quite understand that and for that reason, did not fail to voice her feelings to whoever cared to listen. “I’m guaranteed till week fourteen,” she shouted on.
Another Angle
Prior to this, Diane and Elozonam were in the room talking about her. Elozonam was having dinner prepared and served by Tacha. Diane saw this and told him to keep the same energy when she’s eating Frodd’s food. In his defence, Elozonam replied, “It’s called survival”.
Again, Omashola, Seyi and Cindy were in the Garden talking about Tacha’s screams. Seyi asked Omashola if Tacha was referring to him and if the shouting was directed at him. Omashola admitted to not hearing what Tacha had to say. What surprised us was when he took it upon himself to tell Seyi and Cindy that Tacha like him, didn’t know how to hold a grudge. “She’ll tell you where you went wrong and close the matter,” he added. Friendship goals, perhaps? Or could it be as a result of the loyalty that comes with being team Legend?
Later on, Ike and Mercy were discussing Tacha’s outburst and in this conversation, Ike told Mercy everything Tacha revealed to him earlier. “She feels we’re trending because of her,” Ike said.
Judging from these conversations, here’s what Twitter had to say about Tacha’s claims.
A gang up?
#BBNaija Tacha has never said anything bad about these Hms behind their backs.. She will rather discuss her business. The gang up against her is terrible ? pic.twitter.com/qdNkAH9hBZ
While the Housemates prepared for an early night, Mercy and Ike had a brief re-strategizing. Mercy has secured a place in the finale using Bet9ja Coins and with the power of the Ultimate VPH, there’s no telling what could happen next in Biggie’s House.
Clearly, no one is safe and the fear of that made Ike voice out his intention of acquiring more Coins possibly through Arena games or just asking other Housemates. What could be planning to buy though? With the Icy pair, everyone is a threat, which is why Ike revealed to Mercy that he didn’t mention Mercy’s Immunity purchase to him.
“He didn’t even give me back my 100 Bet9ja Coins after the VPH was revealed,” she said about Mike. Well, the game is hotter and we guess Mike is only playing his game. We didn’t say so, you did.
Mercy’s alliance is with Ike and Dianne. Who would have thought Mike would trade 100 bet coin withMercy.. phew ? no love for on the street. #bbnaija
With a few days to the finale, what length will the Housemates go in fighting for a spot in the finale? Will this involve Frodd having more Housemates in his friends’ list? Strap up guys, it’s sure going to be a thrilling week.
Popular Ghanaian counselor, Lutterodt has opened up on starting his own breast-sucking consultancy which will help in eradicating cancer in his country.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, the counsellor explained that research has proven that when the nipples are sucked constantly, it prevents the chances of cancerous growth in the breast.
A 300 level accounting student of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo state has died after she drowned at the Olumo Beach River, popuarly known as Sabo Beach.. and this was caught live on camera.

The Emir of Anka in Zamfara, Attahiru Ahmed, has advised low and middle income earning Nigerian men not to marry more than one wife as practicing polygamy will only make them poorer.
Emir Ahmed gave the advice when he spoke during the distribution of some women empowerment items donated by Hajia Aisha Bello-Matawalle, wife of the state governor over the weekend.
The monarch said ;
“Civil servants on a salary of N15,000 a month marry more than one wife and end up raising families they cannot cater for. It is this attitude that is responsible for increasing out-of-school children because the parents cannot shoulder the responsibility. People should marry in accordance with their earnings to ensure that their children have sound education and good moral background,” .

Kevin looked at the photos of the car crash and couldn’t believe anyone walked out alive. The ghastly accident messed up his back so bad that 3 spinal fractures required fusion.
Kevin says, he’s grateful to be alive and has a new perspective on life. He really cherishes the fact that he’s alive, and wants to make the most of it in every way. The crash had a huge impact on him.

A 39-year-old woman has been arrested in Ekiti State for stealing a 2-month-old baby.
The baby was stolen from his mother Funmilayo Sunday on Friday September 20, after being tricked into following Momoh to Ekiti State Secretariat under the guise of getting some relief materials being given by government to flood victims.
The command spokesperson, Caleb Ikechukwu who confirmed the arrest of the suspect said investigation is still ongoing.
“It is confirmed that the woman who stole Two-Month-Old baby has been arrested by the operatives of the Ekiti Police Command.
“The suspect is Mercy Momoh, a 39-yr-old lady from Edo State. She was apprehended through intelligence made available to the police and would be prosecuted after conclusion of investigation.
“Investigation is still on going. More details will come to reveal what really transpired.
“All I can tell you is that the woman that stole the infant baby has been arrested and investigation is still ongoing
“We call on members of the public to be careful when dealing with strangers. The suspect was apparently nice to the victim, that was why she got the baby easily. Citizens should not be carried away by kind strangers”, Ikechukwu said.
So fans and housemates of the Big Brother Naija show have over the week, been pondering how what the ultimate veto power entails and moments ago, the show’s anchor, Ebuka announced ultimately what the veto power entails.
Ebuka stated that the Ultimate Veto power holder has the sole power to nominate five housemates for possible eviction in the coming week.
This new development will have fans resourcefully voting for their favourite housemates should they be put up for possible eviction in the following.
Frodd who won the ultimate veto power has also sent himself into the final of this year’s edition of the show and has earned the potential of becoming the next winner of the show.
As earlier mentioned, Frodd now has the power to nominate five housemates for possible eviction and this obviously should be done during the live nomination show on Monday.
More details as it unfolds will be announced in due time.
