#BBNaija: Feeling rejected by Anto, Lolu spent the night in the bathtub

Ever since Anto returned to the House, things have not been the same between her and Lolu. To the contrary, their bond seemed to have gone down the drain.

While Lolu was elated by her return at first, Anto’s time out of the House had brought new facts about Lolu that as much as one may try, she could not unlearn.

She’s Back

Earlier in the game, Lolu and Anto formed a wonderful pair only equalled by their combined smarts that frankly scared their Housemates at times.

Over time, their on-screen chemistry was unavoidable as was what seemed to be a mutual appreciation.

They laughed and jabbed and most particularly saw eye-to-eye in everything.

When Anto was Evicted, Lolu was inevitably shaken and opened up to Tobi who seemed to share his sorrow as they bonded over the loss of a valued Housemate.

What Lolu didn’t know at the time was that Tobi may have been nurturing deeper than melancholic feelings for Anto.

False Hope

So when Biggie brought Anto back to the House, unbeknownst to both guys, Anto had come back determined to dot the i’s and cross the t’s with everyone.

After warm embraces, and having lent her listening ear to his lyrical apologies, she gave Lolu the coldest shoulder ever.

This didn’t escape to Tobi who used the opportunity to get closer to Anto.

Lolu told Alex that he was pained by Anto saying he used her emotionally.

He said his conversation with Anto hadn’t gone well and she was using unsuspecting Tobi as a pawn to make him uncomfortable.

A Sorry Man

Yet Lolu acknowledged his responsibility for doing her wrong and admitted he couldn’t dictate how she should feel.

But seeing Anto sleeping with Tobi was more than he could take, and he chose to spend the night in the bathtub to avoid their sight.

For Lolu it was hard enough dealing with Anto in the House and not being on good terms with her.

All he could hope for was for things to get better between them. But will they ever be the same?

Some reactions:

#BBNaija: I’ve fallen in love with Teddy A – Bambam

BamBam revealed last night she has fallen stupidly for fellow housemate Teddy A.

She revealed this truth in a conversation with Lolu.

She said she is now hopelessly in love with Teddy A, who had in more than one occasion talked about his baby mama.

BamBam however sees the other lady as Teddy A’s past while she dreams of occupying his present and future.

Confessing her love for Teddy to fellow housemate, Lolu, last night, Bambam, an upcoming actress, said, “I’m aware Teddy had a lady outside the house.

“But I have fallen ‘stupidly’ for him and believes that he feels the same way about me.”

Teddy A and Bambam have been in a relationship since the beginning of the show.

#BBNaija: BamBam reveals Tobi intentionally provokes Cee-C; Fans react

During diary sessions last night, Biggie warned three housemates, Tob, Nina, and Khloe about provocation being a punishable offence.

This was a surprise to most of their fans because they expected he would also serve Cee-C the same warning as she has engaged in verbal confrontation with all three.

However, Cee-C was not given a warning.

Fans of the trio took to social media to air their displeasure and accuse Big Brother of favoritism.

They claimed Cee-C verbally provokes others as well, especially Tobi and Nina – sighting yesterday morning as an example, where she had lashed out at Tobi but he ignored her.

Many felt she was just jealous of Tobi and Anto cuddling.

However, during Bam Bam’s diary session, when she was asked to give her opinion about confrontations in the house, she said with regards to Tobi and Cee-C,  she thinks Tobi intentionally provokes Cee C knowing he would get a reaction from her.

She revealed Cee C and Khloe were in the bathroom and Tobi walked in on their conversation and dismissed Cee-C’s virginity claims, citing an intimate encounter between them.

She revealed this triggered Cee C’s anger, prompting her to follow him out and start ranting, and he ignored her.

This revelation by Bam Bam has shed a different light on Tobi who many see as a victim of Cee -C’s confrontational nature,as many now know there are many things he says to her which are not aired.

”Don’t accept PDP’s apology” – Tinubu tell Nigerians

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has asked Nigerians not to accept the apology issued by the opposition party few days ago.

National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus said the party has in the last three years seen all the mistakes they made during their 16 years in office.

The Chairman said they would like to correct these mistakes if given an opportunity to come back to office in 2019.

This statement was made at a Nation Building event organized by the party.

Secondus appealed to Nigerians to vote the party back into power during the 2019 election.

Reacting to the apology, Bola Tinubu at the colloquium organized to mark his 66th birthday which had in attendance President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and many others, said Nigerians should not accept the oppositions apology.

Tinubu likened the party’s apology to the case of a thief who is only begging because he was caught in the act.

Dear Nigerians, do not take their apology. They lied. They falsified. They even changed figures.

“For 16 years, they made fake promises and gave us fake figures. And they said we should not talk about it.

“It is like saying after all they did wrong, do not look at me. Just steal your own. 

That we will not take it off the table…no matter how twisting the mind of PDP and their supporters may be, we will continue to talk about it because you wasted our resources.

“You did not do what you promised Nigerians, what you said you would do when you were in office. The market gave you the maximum and production was also at maximum.”

Continuing, the former Lagos state governor said:

President Buhari has changed the economy from the wrong direction to steer the ship back before the final crash because it was necessary.

“We have started the journey. And the voyage is on the voyage of hope and the voyage that we are reclaiming Nigeria.

“We are retooling Nigeria. We are reinventing Nigeria. We are redirecting Nigeria.”

“Sex Tape about RunTown is a desperate attempt to spoil our name” – Record Label

A sex tape allegedly showing Runtown and a yet to be identified lady was released on Instagram by a user identified as @boss_l.a.s. earlier today.

The story was released along with a fake conversation showing the name of Eric Many record label boss.

Eric Many GM, Johnson Adumike, has however reacted to the viral report describing it as ‘fake’ and ‘childish’.

In a statement released by Johnson on behalf of Eric Many, ‘at first glance, you’ll realize that the Instagram page in question obviously belongs to a social media influencer. How else do you explain a page of someone in the entertainment industry with over 11k followers and 7 posts with no known affiliation. The Whatsapp chat that accompanied the story is also fake’.

The statement continues to say, ‘what we (Eric Many) have done as a respected entertainment company is to put out fact with legal documents and backings, we will not be drawn into a childish charade and drag ourselves in the mud with whoever is behind this fake news. We maintain that we have no sex tape of Runtown and the alleged Whatsapp chat is fake. We have a Federal High Court Injunction, we do not  need to resort to blackmail as we solely rely on the legal system and will update the public as the legal proceedings move’.

Russians dig into MMM Sergei Marodi’s dirty past

Moscow Times has dug up the News behind the hypes, from the archives, on MMM’s Sergei Mavrodi, the notorious scammer that many Nigerians will not forget in a hurry.

One of Russia’s most famous crooks, Sergei Mavrodi, died of a heart attack on Sunday at the age of 62.

A symbol of the “Wild 90s” which followed the Soviet Union’s collapse, Mavrodi persuaded millions of Russians to put their savings into his MMM pyramid scheme — convinced at least in part by MMM’s memorable television ads featuring everyman Lyonya Golubkov that became the first post-Soviet meme.

After trying his hand at being a State Duma deputy, in 1996 he ran for president. In 2003, he was arrested and sentenced to 4 ½ years in prison for fraud.

The article below was originally published on Aug. 6, 1994. It was written by Steve Liesman.

“It was like a scene from The Wizard of Oz. When the curtain was pulled and the wizard revealed, Sergei Mavrodi, head of the MMM empire, turned out to be less than a daunting sight.

Not very tall and a little pudgy in the jowls, the reclusive man at the controls of Russia’s largest financial scandal surfaced this week as a shrewd moneymaker who likes butterflies and red foreign cars, but lived a lifestyle that seems a pale shadow of the image of high-flying biznesmeni.

While he ran a scheme that raked in billions of rubles and recently was rated the sixth wealthiest man in Russia, Mavrodi lived spartanly in a single room of his spacious but shabby apartment on the Moscow River. Boxes of dried insects, butterflies and a dead bat mounted under glass hung on the walls.

The only overt signs of his wealth were several foreign cars parked in his apartment complex’s driveway and a $60,000 satellite dish that a reporter from the daily Segodnya newspaper spied in his apartment.

After six months of inaction, the government formally arrested Mavrodi on Friday for hiding from tax officials and for “failing to submit to the order of authorities to open the door,” according to a spokesman with the tax police.

Authorities opened a criminal case against Mavrodi on Thursday for concealing billions of rubles of profits from tax officials in a company called Invest-Consulting. The arrest, following a dramatic raid on his apartment Thursday by armed Interior Ministry troops and tax police, brought to a climax the MMM debacle in which millions of Russians invested in a pyramid scheme.

While the arrest was unusual, the crash of the scheme and the allegations of impropriety were not. Mavrodi has repeatedly started up and then walked away from successful ventures, all the while being dogged by charges of tax violations.

“He was quite a professional businessman who always moved into the most profitable niche of the market,” said Maxim Selivanov, the general director of Steepler, a large computer dealer. But he said Mavrodi was never interested in any particular business, only in the process of making money.

“You can make money nicely, but he makes it crudely,” said Selivanov. “I wouldn’t do business with them.”

Alexei Blinkov, who works in a photo shop on the ground floor of Mavrodi’s apartment in the Frunzenskaya area, said Mavrodi had started a computer sales cooperative in the late 1980s.

Runtown threatened by record label over a sex tape

Nigerian artiste, Runtown is currently having a dispute with his record label Eric Many.

He is allegedly breaching the contract he signed with them. The latest development comes as a threat from his label boss, Dilly, and it involves a sex tape.

A chat between Dilly and a PR guru has leaked and it speaks of a sex tape which likely shows the singer in bed with a lady whose identity is one of the reasons why the video is in hesitation to leak.

Find screenshot below:

The new development is coming just few days after the general manager of Eric Many, Johnson Adumike called out the singer for posting a video on Instastories about a collaboration he’s cooking with Wizkid.

Johnson advised the singer to rather get lawyers to help settle the case he’s having with them rather than flaunting what he doesn’t have the legal right to see through.

‘Runtown, rather than deceiving your fans by teasing them with a collaboration which you do not have the legal right to release, what you should do is to get your lawyers to come up with legal documents to clear your name just like Kiss Daniel when he had a similar issue. This is a way more mature approach than just throwing subliminals on social media’.
‘Its baseless pretending to the public when you clearly signed the dotted lines and its only right to be reasonable and keep your end of the deal  and I Johnson Adumike will make sure that I inform the fans and followers of all proceedings and deliberations in court,so all interested parties can know current situation between Eric Many And Runtown at all times’, he said.

Nollywood Actor, Femi Branch marries third wife in style (Photos)

Aisha Buhari condemns foreign medical treatment

Aisha Buhari Cries Out

Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s first lady, has condemned the practice of spending the nation’s resources abroad via medical tourism.

She said she does not believe in Nigerians travelling abroad to receive treatment because “we have all it takes” for world-class medical services.

Aisha said this on Wednesday when she inaugurated Cedarcrest Hospital — where Yusuf, her son, was once treated — in Abuja.

“I believe in making Nigeria a better place to be,” she said, adding: “I don’t believe in spending our resources abroad. We have all it takes to have a hospital like this, from manpower to personnel.”

Aisha said her son “almost lost his life” but the hospital saved him.

“Even after he was flown abroad for further medical attention, they (hospitals and surgeons abroad) did not do anything for him,” she added.

“They asked where the accident happened, where the surgery took place, I said Nigeria, they said excellent.”

In 2017, her husband spent a total of 152 days in a London hospital treating and undisclosed ailment.

He travelled on two different occasions.

Similarly, Yusu was treated abroad after he suffered injuries from a bike accident in Abuja.

He was first treated in Cedarcrest hospital but was later flown abroad for further treatment.

Aisha, who announced his return to the country after the medical trip, did not reveal the country he was treated in.

The first lady has made controversial comments in recent times, forcing commentators to conclude she is aiming her dig at her husband.

Nigerian man sentenced to 7 years in prison for raping a teenager in Scotland, 3 months after his Lavish Wedding, (photos)

According to multiple reports, a 34-year-old Nigerian Engineer, Kufre Uwem has been sentenced to at least 7 years imprisonment over the rape of a teenager in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Uwem, of 6 Waterton Lawn, Stoneywood, Aberdeen, who was a sub-sea project engineer, detained the woman against her will in his flat and then removed her clothing and raped her.

He was also convicted of intent to rape a second woman in her flat.

The offences were committed on October, 18, 2012, and October 30, 2016, at flats in Aberdeen.

Uwem continues to protest his innocence.

At the High Court in Glasgow judge Lord Arthurson told Uwem:

“This was a course of violent and predatory sexual offending, notwithstanding the four years between the two offences.”

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Uwem’s first victim was a first-year student who Uwen met by chance and invited her to his flat. Once there he raped her.

In a victim impact statement to the court the victim said that the rape had “a monumental impact on her life”.

Uwem’s second victim was attacked in her own home. Uwem restrained her, removed her lower clothing with intent to rape her.

He stood with his head bowed as Lord Arthurson told him:

“The consequences are truly catastrophic for you.”

Uwem, who has an MSc in pipe engineering, was placed on the sex offenders’ register.

Uwem and his wife had a lavish wedding in Akwa Ibom State in December 2017.

Meghan Markle to receive a priceles gift ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry

Meghan Markle will receive a gift from Kensington Palace regardless. But it’s not one that money can buy.

A spokesman confirmed that Markle, and her family, will get their own coat of arms by May 19.

A coat of arms is a longstanding noble tradition, dating back to at least the Middle Ages. Usually, it includes a crest, a motto, and supporters (or, figures that “support” the crest), and is imbued with ancestral and personal meaning.

Take Prince William’s coat of arms, for example. It’s mainly derived from Queen Elizabeth’s, which features a crest that pays tribute to all of the United Kingdom, and is supported by an English lion and Scottish unicorn. However, also on his crest is a small red seashell—a touching nod to his mother, Princess Diana, who had it on the Spencer coat of arms.

If royal protocol is followed, the coat of arms will be presented to Markle’s father, Thomas.

But what will be included on the Markle coat of arms?

Whatever she does chooses, it will not be taken lightly—the Markle coat of arms will go down in history, and its elements reused on the coats of Meghan and Harry’s eventual descendants.

Pope Francis reveals Hell-Fire does not exist

Leader of the worldwide Catholic Church, Pope Francis has revealed that hellfire does not exist.

According to Pope Francis, the evil doers will disappear from the world.

“There is no hell where the souls of sinners suffer in eternity”, Pope Francis he told Eugenio Scalfari, a 93-year-old atheist philosopher, today, during a conversation in the Vatican.

Francis said:

“after death, the souls of people who repent are pardoned by God and join in his contemplation, “but those who do not repent, and therefore cannot be pardoned, disappear.”

“Hell does not exist – what exists is the disappearance of sinful souls,” he added

The pope was interviewed by Eugenio Scalfari, a veteran Italian journalist and atheist who regularly muses about faith and religion, and enjoys access to the leader of the Catholic Church.

In the past, the veracity of quotes he attributed to the pope has been called into question, especially after the 93-year-old Scalfari admitted to never using a tape recorder during interviews.

However, the Vatican has never complained about Scalfari’s work, and Francis has continued giving interviews to him.
