First Vice President of the Nigeria Bar Association, John Aikpokpo-Martins, has dismissed claims that disqualified BBNaija S7 housemate, Beauty Turkura, is a lawyer.
According to him, the former beauty queen’s name did not come up in the Roll of Legal Practitioners in the Supreme Court and the Nigerian Bar Association.
This comes after Beauty Tukura, a former housemate of the show and an acclaimed lawyer, got disqualified from the reality show for breaching the rules of engagement on the show.
His full statement reads:
“RE: BEAUTY TAKURA, LAWYER AND FORMER MISS NIGERIA DISQUALIFIED FROM BBNAIJA SEASON 7.
“My attention and I guess of a large number of lawyers in Nigeria have been drawn to news reports that one Beauty Tukura, who is claimed and/or claims to be a lawyer participated and also got ignominiously disqualified from the on-going Big Brother Naija reality show “for throwing her wig and glasses at” a co-participant in the show after a party.
“These reports have been very embarrassing to most members of the legal profession and may in all reasonable probability bring the profession into disrepute if found to be true. A quick check of the databases of the Roll of Legal Practitioners kept in the Supreme Court and the Nigerian Bar Association failed to reveal the name “Beauty Tukura” to be on the Supreme Court Roll or to be a member of the Nigerian Bar Association.
“However, I hereby appeal to anyone who may be aware of her true name assuming we may have gotten her real name wrong to reach out to me.

“I simply just don’t want to be the one that always apologise.
“I’ve been a shity father and a shity husband and shity baby daddy. I have no excuses.
“I just want to do right by my wife, and my kids and their moms and my mom and all families and my manager and friends.
“I beg y’all to pls just face me and cancel me anyhow.
“I’ve been a star for so long that my bulletproof vest is worn-out.
“I’m not quitting or suicidal or giving up. I just want to go back to my default settings and denounce my role model status and make up lost time with my kids and give y’all music that will make u remember and understand why they call me 2BABA.”
In the second post, he shared a video of his wife Annie Idibia and wrote,
“Forever Grateful go u @annieidibia1. Love u till I die. U kind is rare. #GRATEFUL to u forever. Sorry I messed it all up.”

The show promoter of the Tanzanian event Nigerian singer, Kizz Daniel failed to perform at has given his version of what transpired.
The “Buga” singer was arrested by the Tanzanian police on Monday after he failed to perform on a show on Sunday, August 7, after being paid.
In an interview with Daddy Freeze, the show promoter who gave his name as Stephen Uwa, revealed that the singer refused to perform because the airline failed to bring his bag containing his gold chains and insisted he will not perform without wearing all his gold chains.
“He said the airline didn’t bring his bag that is why he cannot perform because his gold chain is not there and he had a gold chain on his neck. He wanted everything.”
Uwa revealed that he spent nothing less than $300,000 on the show including $60,000 to Kizz Daniel as performance fee. However, the singer flopped everything for failing to show up. He revealed he was on his knees weeping and begging Kizz Daniel to perform but he refused.
“My company is new here. PaulO is the one I booked Kizz from. PaulO cried all night trying to beg this guy ‘Please go to this show’, he called in from America!
I paid this guy $60, 000 to perform on this show . I went down on my knees. I was like ‘Bro, you are damaging me. I am trying to build my company here. You are going to damage me’. I begged this guy ‘Save my career, save me”. I was on the table with Kizz Daniel for like five hours begging him, kneeling for him”
Stephen said the whole venue was damaged as the angry fans destroyed some of the items brought in by the sponsors of the show.
A Nigerian father, Malam Tukur, has narrated how kidnappers killed his 32-year-old son, Abdulmalik Tukur, after collecting N500,000 ransom.
The young man was kidnapped from his family house in Vinkilang community in Yola, Adamawa state capital, along with six others on Monday, August 1.
The other five were released after their families paid a ransom of N400,000 for each of them. However, Malam Tukur said the kidnappers demanded for N50 million to secure the release of his son.
After three days of negotiation, they finally agreed on N500,000 and his family sent a representative to deliver the said amount at a spot in bush.
When the money was delivered around 7pm on Thursday, the kidnappers made the victim and the representative count the money to make sure it was all three.
“After they helped them count the notes, they released Tukur to return home. As he started walking to freedom, they shot him without any explanation,” his father told Daily Trust.
The bereaved father said his son’s murder has left him and the rest of his family in shock, but they have left the matter to God.
Abdulmalik, a graduate of Btech Biotechnology from Futy (now Modibbo Adama University), has been mourned by friends and family on social media.
A former classmate, Chinenye Sylvester described him as a fun loving, intelligent, and jovial young man.
Another friend wrote,
“One of the best students in my class. Full of big dreams and a friend to everyone that crosses his path. This is heartbreaking.”
“Malik is a young man full of dreams, his family struggled to give him good education by attending the best schools in town despite their economic background. Unfortunately they didn’t reap what they sow. But then as people of faith that’s the will of God.”
Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington has shared a video of himself doing his laundry at a laundromat in the United States, and bewailed the fact that he’s washing his clothes by himself.
Speaking in the video, the rapper who is also known as Akpi, said assuming he was in Nigeria, he would have gotten someone to wash his clothes for him but he doesn’t have that privilege abroad.
Reminiscing on the privileges he enjoys whenever he is in Nigeria, Darlington said with N17,000, he would have employed the services of a dry cleaner who would wash the clothes, iron them and properly package them before delivering them to him.
Adding that being rich is not advantageous in the United States, but it’s very sweet in Africa, especially Nigeria.

In the message, she admitted that the items were expensive and begged her singer father to buy them for her anyway because they were her dream items.
“Good morning daddy I hope your day is going well. I’m here to greet you and ask you something really really important to me. I’m here to
say can you please by me something on Amazon. It’s a lot but those items are my dream I was wondering if you could buy it today please please”, she wrote in part.

Horniman Museum in London have agreed to return a looted collection of 72 treasured artefacts, including 12 Benin Bronzes, back to Nigeria.
The museum said the artefacts, which were stolen from Nigeria by British troops in 1897, will be transferred to the Nigerian government because it is the right thing to do.
Confirming this decision on August 5, the chairwoman of the Trustees of the Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, south-east London, Eve Salomon, said,
“The evidence is very clear that these objects were acquired through force, and external consultation supported our view that it is both moral and appropriate to return their ownership to Nigeria.”
The artefacts includes a brass cockerel altar piece, ivory and brass ceremonial objects, brass bells, and others.
This comes after the Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) asked that the artifacts be returned in January 2022.
Both parties – NCMM and the Horniman trustees – are currently in talks about the formal transfer of ownership and the chances of retaining some artefacts on loan for display, research and education.
The director general of the commission, Professor Abba Tijani, said,
“We very much welcome this decision by the trustees of the Horniman Museum and Gardens.
“Following the endorsement by the Charity Commission, we look forward to a productive discussion on loan agreements and collaborations between the national commission for museums and monuments and the Horniman.”

According to him, the young man was at his event to work, and he was infuriated when he realized that the young man had left his job undone to make a video of him.
“Don’t lose focus, stay committed to your job, you were paid to deliver and arrange seats.

Nigerian lawyer and author, Reno Omokri, has argued that it’s extremely uncommon for a woman to feign her love for a man.
The former presidential aide, who made this assertion in a post via his Instagram page, opined that men who think women have fake love for them don’t have money and their thoughts are clouded by their poverty mentality.
According to him, while there’s fake love, the vast majority of women have either real or true love.
In his words,
“It is very, very, rare for a woman to have fake love for a man. Men who think that way usually don’t have money, therefore poverty has affected their mentality. While there is fake love, the vast majority of women have either real or true love. But there is a big difference between real love and true love. If you have money, a girl may develop real love for you. She is not faking it. It is genuine. However, if you become broke, that real love may fade.
True love is any love that is not facilitated by money! True love is ignited by personality or body. Real love is ignited by money. It does not matter how the ignition starts the engine, as long as the car get to its destination! As long as there is affection, you don’t need perfection!”
Big Brother Naija season 4 star, Natacha Akide better known as Tacha, has responded to a fan who called out her co-star, Kim Oprah, for mocking her after she was disqualified from the show in 2019.
It would be recalled that Tacha was disqualified from the fourth edition of the reality show over an altercation she had with the season winner, Mercy Eke.
During their reunion show in 2019, Kim accused Tacha of lacking confidence and constantly bragging about herself when she has nothing to show for it.
Kim said to Tacha: “Your insecurity makes you speak like you have made it. You said you’ve learnt, but you haven’t. You brag and make others look like nothing, meanwhile, we did not see the evidence.
“It was very rude for Tacha to say the housemates escorted her into the house.“You left, you were not better! You were disqualified!”
Well, when the seventh edition of Big Brother Naija began recently, Kim Oprah took to social media to announce that she’s rooting for Beauty.
Sadly, the 43rd Miss Nigeria was disqualified barely two weeks into the show for violating the house rules. This comes after she fought with her love interest, Groovy, for dancing with other female housemates at the Saturday night party.
Following her disqualification, Tacha’s fans had a field day dragging Kim Oprah for mocking their fave back in the day and now her choice housemate has also met the same fate.
”So Kim laughed at Tacha for being disqualified only for her friend to suffer the same fate years later
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL”, a fan tweeted.
Reacting to the tweet, Tacha quoted the tweet and said her fan is not nice at all, and accompanied with several laughing emojis.
Nigerian filmmaker, Charles Novia has claimed that the first shock that hits those arriving Lagos from an international flight is the pungent smell of the toilet at the airport.
Taking to Facebook to share his experience at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, the filmmaker bewailed the state of the airport and pointed out that the immigration officials also dress shabbily.
According to him, the state of the airport can be likened to that of Nigeria because things are equally ‘antiseptically shitty’ in the country.
Read his full post below,
“For those arriving Lagos from an International flight at the MMA International wing, the first shock which hits you as you step out of the plane is the smell of the toilets at the airport.
A pungent smell of shit and antiseptic smacks your nostrils. As you walk towards the immigration area, angry at the state of the airport having just come from a country with world class airport facilities, the next shock would be tardily dressed immigration officials (at least the day I arrived from my trip I saw a couple of them wearing slippers and smudged uniforms). That airport in Lagos, the old one, is the symbolism of the state of the nation right now.
Antiseptically shitty.
I don’t think Abuja Airport is like that as I have traveled through Abuja Airport on international flights a few times but the Lagos Airport actually takes the piss, all pun intended too.”
A former Canadian basketball player, Abednego Lufile, has recounted how ‘demons’ tried to stop him from marrying his wife, Erin.

Lufile, who met his wife on Instagram in 2019 and got married to her last year, claimed he was being attacked because the devil hates ‘destiny relationships’.
He wrote on August 7 2021,
“One day I was praying for my girlfriend and a demonic spirit visited me in my bedroom at 4am and warned me to stop. It began to say many things then disappeared. This happened TWICE!
This was probably one of the most intense encounters I’ve ever had. The devil is after destiny partners and relationships.”
In a follow-up post shared exactly a year after on Sunday, August 7 2022, Lufile stated that the devil lost the battle against him and his now-wife.
“Exactly a year ago I was experiencing tremendous spiritual warfare in the dating stage with Erin. I had crazy visitations and demons that would try to stop me from pursuing her and praying for her. We went from dating to married real fast! The devil lost! We overcame.” he wrote.
Big Brother Naija stars, Dee One and Coco Ice, have reacted to being included in the list of contestants who went broke after the reality show.

In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Efe dispelled the reports as false.

He noted that, contrary to speculations, he invested the entire N25 million (twenty-five million naira), although he did not give further details.
A Nigerian man based abroad has taken to social media to complain bitterly after he was charged N56k for ingredients to cook bitter leaf soup (ofe onugbu).
In a video shared online, the man who spoke in Igbo, said he went to an African store to purchase food items to cook the mouthwatering soup but the cost amounted to about 70 pounds, which when converted to naira is N56,000.
While walking home from the store, the man said it’s unimaginable for him to spend that amount on a pot of soup, and would rather opt for burger instead because it’s cheaper.
According to him, bitter leaf soup is not even that delicious and burger tastes better than it so he would settle for burger.
Celebrity barman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest, has taken to social media to express gratitude to God after he escaped unhurt following an attack on his convoy by unknown gunmen.

For the umpteenth time, popular Nigerian singer, Kizz Danielhas gotten on the bad side of fans after he allegedly failed to show up for his concert in Tanzania on Sunday, August 7.
One of the show promoters, Samwel Masaki, had earlier taken to Twitter to announce that the singer has arrived the country to perform at the old next door Arena.
Sharing pictures of Kizz Daniel and his crew at the airport, he wrote, “@kizzdaniel has touched down Tanzania ! We amplify tonite @warehouse_tz ( Old next door Arena )😋”
However, the ‘Buga’ crooner refused to mount the stage because he allegedly forgot his travelling bag in Uganda and didn’t want to wear a borrowed cloth.
This didn’t sit well with his fans who came in their numbers and paid as much as $5000 for a table at the show, and they began throwing things at the stage and scattering the hall.
A video making rounds online shows the moment the disgruntled fans threw a tantrum at the venue.
This is the third time Kizz Daniel is being called out by fans for disappointing them at his own shows in the last one month.
On July 7, he was dragged for standing up his fans for over five hours at his concert in DMV. He was again called out for cancelling his Denver concert without prior notice on July 28.
Meanwhile, the organizers of the Tanzania concert have released a statement apologizing to fans for the incident.

Instagram big girl and influencer, Raheem Abike Halimah otherwise known as Papaya Ex or Abike Arab Money, has lamented bitterly over the amount she spends on data weekly.
Taking to Twitter, the social media personality disclosed that she spends N50,000 on data in a week and she’s fed up of spending that exorbitant amount weekly, describing it as ‘daylight robbery’.
She tweeted,
“I can’t do this anymore 😢 I give up. 50k data in a week?? I miss days we use 1GB in a month please. What’s this daylight robbery 😭😭help!”
Some netizens didn’t believe her claims of spending that amount weekly and accused her of ‘capping’ on the internet.
Responding to the backlash, Papaya explained that she spends N10k on data daily and uses internet everytime.
She wrote,
“Lmaoo. Because I didn’t say 50k in 5 days? Mtchew. I use 10k every single day. I use internet 24/7, how much do you expect me to use😂 2k? Please please, y’all act ignorant blindly everytime on this app. Who doesn’t know 100k is the new 10k lately. Kmt abeg!”

In other news, popular US-based Kenyan pastor, Dr. KN Jacob has shared his opinion about men who cheat on their partners.
According to the motivational speaker, a man can cheat on a woman and still love her with every breath of his life.
“If he loves me, he wouldn’t cheat on me! WRONG. A man can cheat on you and he still loves you with every breath of his life. We can debate on this oxymoron until thy kingdom come,” he wrote.
“From a woman’s perspective, you can’t love me and hurt me at the same time. If you love me, you don’t share love with other women. You shouldn’t even notice other beauties
“From a man’s perspective, love and sex are not synonymous. Sex is for pleasure, not necessarily love and intimacy. A man can sleep with a woman but his heart is totally locked by the love of his life
“Real men know what I’m saying is the truth. But of course, we have plastic men who’ll come here breathing fire to defend the feminine perspective to score points with their wife or girlfriend
“A man can be ‘committed’ but not disciplined. Another paradox. That a man had an affair doesn’t mean he wants to destroy his marriage. Discipline lets many guys down. Stolen waters often taste sweeter
“The solution to this old-age dilemma is being fully accountable to your wife. So long as you don’t want her to question your whereabouts, you’ll indulge in hanky-panky.”
A Nigerian man has taken to social media to narrate how his marriage almost fell apart shortly after getting married to his wife.
The young man simply identified as Chisom in a Twitter thread, admitted that he married his best friend, but soon after their nuptials, things started to go south between them. His wife, who used to be his closest friend, seized being his friend.
According to him, his change in attitude almost ruined their union until they sought the help from a marriage counselor who assisted them in restoring peace in their home.
Sharing his experience on Twitter, he wrote,
“I got married to my friend but after we got married, we stopped being friends…My wife is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Apart from sharing the same value system, she understands herself and me a lot! But, no matter how good you and your spouse are, there are principles that when disobeyed, your marriage will be a mess.
“My wife is the kind of person that confronts someone when they do something she doesn’t like. She doesn’t pretend. On the other hand, I can swallow stuff because ‘I don’t like wahala/disagreements’. Over the years, even before we got married, when my wife does something I don’t like, I often didn’t talk about it because I wasn’t in the mood for an argument. Unknown to me, the tiny hurts I thought I let go of were piling up somewhere in my heart and before I knew it, I became resentful toward her.”
