Few hours after he was officially handed over to, incoming Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has made his first appointment.
He has appointed Tayo Ayinde as the new Chief of Staff. Ayinde was Sanwo-Olu’s Campaign Director.
Sources close to Ayinde confirmed the appointment of the former Campaign Director of Sanwo-Olu.
Many friends of Ayinde has bombarded the social media with congratulatory messages.
Independent Online reports that the out-going Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, on Tuesday officially handed over to the Governor-elect, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, ahead of his inauguration on Wednesday.
Sanwo-Olu’s emergence followed the decision of the ruling All Progressives Congress party in the state not to sponsor Ambode as its governorship candidate in the general elections.
Shortly after the handing over at the Government House, Alausa, the governor-elect told newsmen that it “was a very private formal hand over’’.
The governor-elect was accompanied by his running-mate in the election, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
Sanwo-Olu had during an interactive session with journalists few days ago given a hint on those that would make his cabinet and his plans for them.
Sanwo-Olu said: “There are so many intelligent people in Lagos. It’s just for us to identify them. Some could work full time, some part time, others could be technocrats or politicians but the bottom line is for us to identify square pegs into square holes and round pegs into round holes. That’s number one.
“Number two, those who would work with Dr Hamzat and I must share our vision. They have to be on the same page with us from day one. The moment a politician or technocrat is appointed, he or she should see himself as a commissioner or staff adviser of Lagos, not for a sect or an area or jurisdiction. These are the basic things, we will not compromise.
“Femi and I have been on this journey for the past eight or nine months. So, immediately we come on board, we will organise a crash course for them (cabinet members) to see where we are going. The moment we all see a common vision, it will be easier for us to drive a common agenda. But I can say Lagosians will be happy with us when we finally bring out those names.”

“It’s extremely painful to see Ned Nwoko senior get married to my 17 year old daughter today” – Regina Daniels’ father says in tears while speaking in an interview earlier today.
Excerpts from an interview between Barrister Jude Ojeogwo, the biological father of actress, Regina Daniels and a media house, team Cutiejuls reveal that he is not in support of the recent development of his daughter.
When Ojeogwo was asked how old his daughter is, he revealed the actress is turning 18 in October this year. Barrister Jude also explained that the reason why the actress’s mother, Rita Daniels made herself the sole decision maker is because of greed.
He revealed that the reason why Rita’s bride price could not be paid was due to the fact that her paternal family could not be traced.
He also revealed that his daughter’s fiance, is 62 and not 59. He affirms this because they both grew up in the same compound as young boys.
He revealed he spoke to his daughter this morning and warned her about the new phase she’s about to start but she told him she’s aware of what she’s getting into and stated that it’s her mother’s decision and also, that Ned Nwoko is a fine gentleman and she loves him.
Ojeogwo stated that despite not paying Rita Daniels’ bride price, he has been very responsible for the financial support of all his 4 kids with Rita and that the 2 boys lived with him until recently when the mother advised they move in with her into her new home.
Here are first photos from 17-year-old actress Regina Daniels traditional wedding to Billionaire Ned Nwoko, today, in Ogwashi-Olor, Delta State.
Regina’s mum, Rita, was on hand to join other elders to give out her hand in marriage. One barrister Jude Ojeogwu who claims to be Regina’s dad was not in attendance.
Regina, 20, is now the 5th wife of the 59 year old billionaire.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Office on May 28, 2019 arraigned two suspected Internet fraudsters at a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin.
The suspects, Johnson Okuselu and Akande Saheed, were arraigned on two separate charges before Justice Sikiru Oyinloye.
One of the charges reads: “That you, Johnson Opeyemi Okuselu (a.k.a Blessed Saviour) sometime in April 2019, or thereabout at Ilorin, Kwara State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court attempted to commit an offence by pretending to be one Blessed Saviour, representing yourself to be a white Woman who is capable of providing job in the United States of America to one Omni Guzman as contained in your email conversation done through your Gmail account, contrary to Section 95 and 321 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 322 of the same law.”
They both pleaded “guilty” to the charges.
Counsel for the EFCC, A.A. Adebayo, told the Court that the defendants had entered into a plea bargain agreement with the Commission.
He, thus, asked the court to give a date for the prosecution to call its star witness in order to review the facts of the case.
Justice Oyinloye, thereafter, adjourned the case to June 8, 2019 for reviewing of facts, and ordered that the defendants be remanded in EFCC custody.

“Yesterday I called for an uber, and this is who I got..IBUKUNOLUWA. I was intrigued by her so I spent the ride getting to know her and her back story.

Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze has taken a swipe at blogger, Blessing Okoro as he shared a new photo on his Instagram page moments ago.
The on air personality shared a photo of himself in a mansion surrounded by a fleet of cars and gave it an interesting caption.
The caption is akin to that of Blessing Okoro when she first pulled her house ownership stunt days ago before she got busted.
His caption reads,
When my ex left I was living in a one bedroom apartment, I picked up all the stones that they threw at me and built this.
–
I am the definition of grace, a child of blessing.

New house just completed as I turn 43 with many new toys.
While that of Blessing reads,

I picked up all the stones he threw at me to build myself
I became too strong and fortified.
I became that broken pieces that because an expert in mending .

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has handed over the reigns of government in Lagos State to the governor-elect,Babajide Sanwoolu.
According to Ambode, ‘its been a rewarding 4-year experience. This would not have been possible without the support, cooperation and prayers of all Lagosians. I remain eternally grateful to you all. God bless you all. And to God be all the Glory’.
See his full speech below…
My fellow Lagosians.
With a heart full of gratitude, I address you today for the last time as your governor. It has been an honour and a privilege of a lifetime to serve you for the last four years.
It has been a remarkable journey which has had a lasting impact on my life and I want to thank all Lagosians for the experience of these last four years.
As in the beginning when we visited every single corner of this state, listening to you and asking for your votes, I have felt the power of your support, your collective energy and the endless goodwill that has propelled us to achieve many things.
For this administration, policies, programmes and projects aimed at lifting more of our people out of poverty and making every part of the State safe, accessible and economically viable were always the priority; the driving force behind all our decisions and plans.
A few of our policies might have been unpopular but these were decisions taken with the best interest of our State in mind. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe we could have done some things differently but our intention was always clear, for the good of Lagos.
Even in those tough times, your constructive feedback and patience helped us surmount the challenges and enabled us grow stronger.
As a little boy growing up in Lagos, all I wanted was to be an accountant. This State gave me that and so much more. Our State is a land of opportunities, a home for everyone and a place where dreams come true. It is our duty and responsibility to ensure that we remain a centre of opportunities and growth for everyone; a place where people can achieve their dreams and aspirations.
From being just a commercial centre, our State has now become a prime destination for tourism, sports, entertainment and culture. And the future is even brighter with more exciting prospects and possibilities. In the near future, with God on our side, Lagos will take its rightful place in the comity of major city-States of the world.
Fellow Lagosians, it has been a remarkable journey. One in which we have pushed boundaries and moved our State to another level. A journey in which we have transformed many aspects of our State and set the ball rolling in other sectors. But there is still a lot more to be done.
But it is a job not for only the government; it is a responsibility for us all. In Lagos everyone counts and we all have a part to play.
By tomorrow, there will be a change of guard in our State. I will be stepping down and a new Governor will be sworn in. We will have a new Governor and a new administration with the same objective; achieving a better Lagos.
Those who have had the privilege of serving our dear State in different capacities especially as Governors owe their successes to your prayers, understanding and support. The same courtesy and cooperation that you gave to my predecessors from the first elected Governor of the State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande to our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) to my humble self, I urge you to extend same to the next administration of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and ensure that he succeeds. It is in our best interest to do so.
I am immensely grateful to the three arms of Government, the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary for their immense support throughout the tenure of our administration.
I also reserve special thanks for the leadership, elders and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, the Local Government Councils and community leaders, all our Security agencies, civil society groups and our religious leaders.
I also owe a debt of gratitude to the President, Muhammadu Buhari, and the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo (SAN) for their support in the last four years.
To my wife, Bolanle and the children, who have had to endure many days and nights without me; I thank you for your love and steadfastness. You will continue to be my pillar of strength.
To all Lagosians; for your love, compassion, cooperation and support, I am eternally grateful. My love always.
God bless you.
God bless Lagos State, and
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Regina Daniels Father, Jude Ojeogwu has reacted to the wedding of his biological daughter, whose traditional wedding is said to hold today, in Delta state… and he has said he’s not aware of his daughter’s recent developments.
According to him, all that is going on now in his daughter’s life, is without his consent. He says her mother, Rita, is threading on a dangerous path and hopes she retraces her steps.
Taking to his Facebook page, moments ago, to share a throwback photo of the actress by his side, he says the whole initiation ceremony the actress indulged few days ago is strange and is not her culture.
He wrote,
Regina daniel Ojeogwu is my biological daughter.What ever is ongoing is not to my knowledge and without my consent.The fact speaks for itself looking at the picture. Her mother Rita daniel is threading on a dangerous path and I hope she will retrace her steps. Even the initiation ceremony into otu odu appears completely strange to Regina daniel Ojeogwu. Regina is from ogwashi uku and not from olor as being rumored. All the opportunities for Mr Ned nwoko to discuss with me proved abortive not realising that we once lived in the same house in awoyokun street, onikpan, Lagos. The implication of all this is that she inpregnated herself. The name Regina was my late mother’s name. I have tried to exercise restraint but Regina mother kept pushing me to wall. Am alive and not dead. If in doubt of this post call Barrister Jude Ojeogwu on 08033039058
A quick check on his Facebook page shows throwback photos of his daughter which he shared years ago before she began these new changes in her life.

Instant messaging app, WhatsApp will now begin to deliver ads to monetize the messaging app in year the 2020, Matt Navarra confirms.
At an annual Facebook Marketing Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Facebook offered its first look at how its ads would look once implemented.
This revelation was confirmed on Twitter by Olivier Ponteville, the media head at a digital marketing agency based out of Brussels.
According to Ponteville, the advertisements will be shown between Whatsapp stories, just like Instagram stories. In a video ads preview, Olivier explained that stories would be displayed entirely on the screen and a link will redirect users to the website.
From what can be said so far, the ads will be powered by Facebook’s native advertising system and would be aimed at helping users understand and participate in businesses using the messaging app.
Facebook’s intentions to monetize WhatsApp had earlier forced the hugely popular messaging service’s co-founders to leave the company.
For those who’re aware, WhatsApp’s “Status” feature allows users to share text, photos, videos, and animated GIFs that disappear after 24 hours — identical to how Instagram stories work.
The measure a Nigerian man, said to hail from Ogun state, took to secure his newly acquired SUV has amused a lot of netizens after a photo was shared online.
In the trending photo, the car is seen in an iron cage built within a compound to protect the car from theft. The cage was locked with a padlock to keep the car safe.
There’s been various speculations as to why the man had to protect his car like that. Some think it’s mainly because of theft and some others feel it’s to prevent his car from getting scratched by kids in the neighbourhood.
Instagram sensation, Broda Shaggi is here with another brand new song, and he titles this new record “Serere“.
“Serere” is a yoruba word that literally mean ‘Do Good‘ on this one Broda Shaggi shares about the importance of having good behaviour and helping each other.
