In the gloom and doom of the ASUU strike, a 22-year-old Lagos State University 200-level student of Mathematics – Shoyoye Ismaila Oluwadamilare, has demonstrated the MOTOMATICS PHILOSOPHY, where 1 + 1 is equal to 11. The young student struck gold in the ongoing Homewinpromo with just N500. He converted his luck into cash by buying a Homewin ticket on the 1st of May 2022 and won the first ever Homewin Salary 4 Life prize. He would receive one hundred thousand naira (N100,000) every month for the next ten years, making a total of twelve million naira (N12,000,000).
However, getting the young mathematician to claim his prize was quite an interesting story. On the 1st of June 2022 at about 4:45PM, a rigorous selection process began for the Homewin Salary 4 Life winner. Over 1000 played tickets were automatically selected from our system, the tickets were printed out and painfully diced into tiny units of paper and folded by over 100 company staff present at the office. Each staff was then mandated to select one folded paper, with each paper containing one unique ticket number. From the selected papers, the Group Managing Director of Sujimoto and Founder of HomeWin Promo – Mr. Sijibomi Ogundele picked the final ticket that became the winning ticket for the Homewin Salary 4 Life.
Interestingly, the ticket number belonged to a 22-year-old Lagos State University student, Shoyoye Ismaila Oluwadamilare, whom the team called immediately. Unfortunately, he was unreachable even after over 20 telephone calls initiated by our team, so we proceeded to send messages and voice notes through WhatsApp and still, there was no response from our winner. Consequently, the office closed for the day and at about 9:45PM, our General Manager communicated to us that he had received a voice note from our winner, saying he didn’t want to be disturbed and that he had no intention of being “fooled” by us, he even asked us “abi una wan collect?” which would imply that he was ready to make a mess of us should we proceed with our calls and messages. Apparently, he did not believe that he could ever win anything in this country.
The following day at the office, some members of our team suggested that we select another winner from the pool of tickets, feeling very disappointed that someone could win such a huge amount of money and be unconvinced. Some even suggested that perhaps his “villagepeople” had eventually caught up with him. While this sounds very funny, these were real thoughts and opinions of various team members. However, the Group Managing Director, Mr. Sijibomi Ogundele insisted that we reached out to Oluwadamilare once again and as luck would have it, he picked our call, and after some conversation with the team, he was finally convinced of his win and could not contain his joy and excitement.
The events that surrounded getting Oluwadamilare to claim his Salary 4 Life prize, really had an impact on many members of our team, as we witnessed first-hand how badly broken the Nigerian society has become, how much Nigerians have lost hope and the belief that the life of anyone could change within a second. But in spite of this revelation, the integrity of the Sujimoto Group was committed to ensuring that the winner was reached out to by all and every means possible and we are happy we succeeded in this task.
Going forward, we congratulated our winner, and invited him over to the Sujimoto HQ on the 6th of June 2022, where he was greeted and received by all members of the team and had a one-on-one session with the Managing Director of the Sujimoto Group, who not only congratulated him on his win but also promised to follow up on his education and to ensure that he remains a permanent friend of Homewin and the Sujimoto Group at large. Oluwadamilare mentioned that the money will go a long way to assist him in his school activities, as well as support his mother who has been of great help and support to him.
Sujimoto launched Homewin on May 1st, 2022 as a generosity movement, aimed at empowering Nigerians and helping them escape the difficulty of the trenches to a place of wealth. Making an impact in the lives of Nigerians has always been at the core of the Sujimoto vision. A close look at the organization’s history and interaction with its clients and the general public proves that beyond profit maximization, Sujimoto is strongly built on giving back to society. While speaking about his motivation for starting Homewin, the Founder and Group Managing Director, Mr. Sijibomi Ogundele narrated a very emotional experience. According to him;
Homewin is very personal to me because every day, I get calls from people going through different challenges in life. Everywhere I turn, there is someone going through a difficult time. Except we want to pretend about what is going on around us, it is obvious that poverty is increasing at an alarming rate in the country and the burden of responsibility is beginning to tell on so many. The price of food has skyrocketed. Those who could afford 2-square meal a day, are now struggling to afford one! As a man who is passionate about giving and believes strongly in the saying that “if your neighbor is hungry, your chicken is not safe” Homewin is that brand that puts you in charge of your fate and puts the power to win in your hands.
Since its launch on May 1st, 2022, Homewin has shared over 38 million naira amongst over 3000 players.
Homewin is the biggest promo in Africa, where with N500, you stand a chance to win a fully furnished apartment in Lekki worth over N50 million; 2 Brand New Cars; 100 Smart Phones; 50 Gas Cookers; 50 Smart TV sets; 65 daily winners of various cash prizes, one winner of a Salary for Life – N100,000 every month for 10 years; and over 11,000 estimated winners of various gifts and cash prizes.

Popular reality show star,Mercy Eke has asserted that most of the ladies that troll her online truly want to be like her.
The BBNaija star stated this in a recent interview with media personality, Taymesan, while speaking on the negative comments and criticisms she’s received since being in the spotlight.
According to her, the nasty comments get to her because she’s human with blood flowing throwing her veins and she sometimes feels like coming out to defend herself.
She said:
“Sometimes it does (get to me) because I am human, especially when lies are told about me, and I cannot defend myself. Sometimes, I just wallow in anger and wish I can say things as they are with proof. The trolling (cyber bullying) hurts me most times because they say horrible things to me.”
“They said I have been married, that I have been pregnant. At this stage of my life, I have to get it right. I am a lover girl and I give love.”
She added that she’s not intimidated by those who criticize her ‘igbotic’ accent because most Nigerian girls also have terrible accents.
“I don’t think anyone can intimidate me. Aside from the proper London girls, most of these girls have horrible accents. I attract people that like the real me. I have nothing to hide, and there is nothing to be intimidated by. I am doing pretty well, and many of the girls (that criticise me) want to be me. They want to be in my circle,” she said.

Big Brother Naija star, Pere Egbi, has said people who love their partners regardless of their very evident flaws are strong and courageous people.
The 35-year-old actor who made this assertion in a Twitter post on Saturday, June 11, averred that it takes a lot of courage to disregard warning signs and choose to love against all odds.
In his words,
“A person who loves another regardless of very evident flaws, is a super strong individual and one full of courage. It takes courage to look at impending danger, ignore red flags and stick to your resolve to love against all odds.
If the world were filled with more selfless people, I believe we’d generally be in a better place. That notwithstanding, let us learn to love unconditionally. Kudos to those who are already doing that. You know yourselves. Happy Saturday!”
In other news, clergyman, David Ibiyeomie, has berated men who are impotent and refuse to tell their spouses of their condition before they get married.
The founder of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt, in a sermon preaching against premarital intercourse, said such men have breached the law of sincerity, which is intended to be followed before and after courtship.
Ibiyiemoie admonished his congregation to abandon the conventional concept that a man or woman must engage in pre-marital sex in order to test their potential partner’s sexual prowess.
“Till tomorrow many people believe what is not in line with the word of God. Even in church. Even if you say the Bible says this, they would say leave bible. I am talking about what is happening now. That is tradition. That is you are accepting what you believe instead of the word of God.
It is tradition to test before marriage. It is tradition but it is not accepted in church everywhere. They will now ask you how would you know if a man is impotent. People say it. That is tradition. ‘How can you say somebody that wants to marry cannot taste first. You have to taste first so you can know if the man is strong or not’
Listen, the man who is sincere to you must open up to you if he is impotent or not. If any man who is impotent marries a woman without telling her, that man has broken the law of truthfulness. The man should tell her he is impotent. But don’t say how would he know. Tradition says so but the word of God did not say so.
The bible says Marriage is honorable when the bed is undefiled. Two of you must go as virgins to marry. Even in the church they would say you have to taste. Is it Egusi soup?” He said.
Big Brother Naija star, Nini Singh has slammed those of her colleagues berating her co-star, Saga Adeolu, for ‘losing focus’ on the show because of her.
It was believed that Nini stunted Saga’s potential in the house because he fell in love with her and seemingly made her his sole priority, instead of focusing on winning the game.
The pair were inseparable in the Big Brother Naija house and Saga almost lost his mind when Nini suddenly disappeared from the house when Biggie gave her orders to temporarily exit the show.
Well, the reunion show is currently ongoing and in one of the episodes, Nini who never misses any opportunity to defend Saga, bashed those saying she spoilt Saga’s game.
According to her, despite the claims that Saga lost focus because of her, he still stayed longer in the house, won more games and made more money than those criticizing him.
A Twitter user took to the micro-blogging platform on Monday night to drag Saga and tagged him a “mumu” for being too clingy to Nini.
Saga had a great crush on Nini during the Big Brother Naija season 6 edition, as you may recall. They had a deep relationship and were always together. He did, however, propose a romantic relationship to Nini, but she declined.
As the housemates of the Shine Ya Eye edition of the reality show reunite for their reunion production, a video of Saga hanging around Nini surfaced online.
Reacting to the video, the Twitter user called Saga a “mumu” for following Nini around.
“So they went for Big Brother reunion and Saga was caught following and monitoring Nini. The guy mum no too much “, the troll wrote.
Nini who wouldn’t let any negative comment about her friend slide, on seeing the tweet came to Saga’s defense and lambasted the troll.
“If you followed your life ambitions (that’s if you have any) and monitored your growth, you’d have a better life than struggling to become a useless being that chases clout with other people’s lives”. Nini wrote quoting the tweet.

Nollywood actress and CEO of ROK TV, Mary Remmy Njoku, has recounted an incident where a law firm refused to allow her to stand as a guarantor for a relative, thinking she’s not financially sufficient.
According to her, the family member needed a guarantor for her rent, and she went to the lawyer’s office to sign on behalf of the relative, but the lawyer blatantly refused to let her sign even after she showed proof that she is a trustworthy guarantor and contributes to society.
She claimed she spent over 45 minutes trying to convince the lawyer that she could afford to pay the rent, and when he would not give in, she said she called a male colleague, who was then allowed to sign.
She slammed the lawyer for being someone who “lives in a box” and declared that women are now doing big things too.
Taking to her Instagram page, Mary Njoku wrote,
“Dear Women, women are doing big things too!!!
Few weeks ago, a family member needed a guarantor for her rent and I went to the lawyer’s office to sign.
Spent over 45mins trying to convince her I can afford the rent but she didn’t believe me.
“Thought I was an actress whose career has refused to blow. She needed a proof that I am truly the Founder of ROK. Or the CEO of the studio. I Googled my name but she no gree . For her eye I can’t be ME. I be small geh. The Agent and I begged her to do her small research but refused. Told her I will get CEO of IROKOTV to co sign but she said I was calling big big names. She insisted on seeing my business card. I had non. BUSINESS CARD wey dem fit write anything o! .
I had to call a male Colleague whose career is ‘stronger’ than mine to help be the guarantor. She was a fan and super happy. I was sad. For her. She lives in a box. An old one. Today, Nollywood is arguably controlled by women. We sign almost all the cheques! But I guess I am too young and too simple to be ME.
I had no entourage. I waited at their reception I was super polite to her. She even asked for the name of my Grandfather’s village.
I was nice. Yet she insisted on being a fool. Sad.”

Hon. Obumnaeme Akunyili, the son of former NAFDAC DG Dora Akunyili, has shed some light on the events that led to his mother’s death.
Obumnaeme, who is the Director General at Anambra State Project Monitoring and Management Office, revealed that his mother died after a two-year battle with cancer.
According to him, when Dora Akunyili was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, she sought help from a number of well-known Nigerian religious leaders, but many of them took advantage of the situation to “milk” her while giving her false hope.
Obunaeme who made this revelation in a chat with media personality, Chude Jidonwo, described what the men of God did to his mother as “Divine Hustle” .
“I saw the hustle. I feel like, how you tell your friend when there’s a job, I feel when there’s a public figure, all these pastors, their friends are like, ‘there’s this woman that is dying, we need to go and milk that puppy’.” He said.
He revealed the former NAFDAC DG spent a lot of money, sowed seeds as the religious leaders promised her that she will be healed.
Speaking further, he added that his mother’s faith could move mountains and she was absolutely certain that she would live as the men of God assured her.
“She went to, is it Pastor Adeboye’s place in Lagos for like a week? The whole shebang. She came back and said they need to do a scan that God has healed her. And I remember my father was crying when he was taking her to do the scan. He knew what they would see. And he wasn’t trying to shut it down, he was trying to dampen expectations.
“But my mum, you know how someone is like ‘God has healed me’. And they go and they see the mass of the cancer there, grown larger, and my mum just became a shell for like three days. And you just see someone, a larger-than-life figure just whittling away every day.” He added.

“I decided to say why today. I used to hear from so many people that a man cannot love two women at the same time. I have heard it a couple of times that a man cannot love two women at the same time. I am one of those people who believed it before. I know alot of people believe it as well that a man cannot love two women. I used to believe it as well until it happened to me. I realized that never say never.

“Never let a confused man waste your time or energy.. What you allow is what will CONTINUE!! Fear Men!! Linus Linus Linus. Welcome back to the streets Bby Girl. It’ll be Alright. Pure LIES!! Shhs already. His loss baby Girl… Don’t sweat.” She wrote.

She stated that the love, support, and encouragement she receives from friends and family members are what encourages and sustains her.
In her words,
“Waking up daily to the love and support I find here gets me going. I am on a constant journey of self discovery. It sometimes takes unprecedented situations to discover our true abilities and how we can utilize them in unimaginable ways.
I have always been behind the scenes as a wife, an entrepreneur, a backbone, a mid filder, a super mom, a prayer warrior and more, working tirelessly, resiliently and dedicated to building a peaceful and successful home.
God alone blesses the works of our hands in His own time. My determination/drive, and of course the love from you all have been the driving force behind my recent achievements. The encouragement from y’all, my family and friends from all over the world inspires and motivates me to keep thriving.
Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried but you’ve actually been planted.” – Christine Caine
Always stay true to yourself. Don’t compromise your core values and beliefs regardless of the pressure. Enjoy the rest of the evening fam. Love you right back ”.
This comes after May’s husband, Yul, averred that his blessings had doubled ever since he took a second wife.
Recall that in April, when the actor announced his marriage to a second wife, May, via the comments, expressed displeasure and called for the judgement of God on her husband and the new wife.
It’s no longer news that fans’ favourite Big Brother Naija season 6 couple Emmanuel and Liquorose are no longer an item.
In last night’s episode of the reunion show, the pair, whose relationship turned sour months after they left the Big Brother house, revealed what led to their split.
Recall that it was earlier reported that Liquorose said she walked into Emmanuel with a woman during their trip to Dubai.
Last night, calmly giving a detailed account of what transpired, Liquorose said she had gone to Emmanuel’s room with the intention of surprising him with food as they were chatting on her way to the room. However, on getting to the door, she kept knocking with no response. She said that after over 15 minutes of waiting, she called Emmanuel to tell him she was at the door. He requested that they meet in her room later.
Liquorose noted that she insisted it was an emergency, so Emmanuel came to open the door and she walked in and met a masked lady in the room.
“We were dating, right? And I walked into you and a girl in Dubai. The light was off, the music was playing, the bed was rough, and the girl was sitting at the edge, and she covered her face with a face mask”. She said in part.
Emmanuel, in his defense, claimed that the woman was a friend who had come to see him.
A 20-year-old lady, Cynthia Nanjala, has died after she was allegedly raped by her employer six days after she started working for him.
The victim, a Kenyan died on June 2, 2022, two weeks after she was reportedly found lying naked and brutalised in a secluded spot in the Lunga Lunga slums in Nairobi.
She’s said to have confessed to her sister that it was her employer who raped her but did not utter another word for almost two weeks before she died.
The deceased’s sister, Yvonne Mbone Muruli, in an interview with NationKenya fought back tears as she narrated her last moments with Cynthia while she was admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
Ms Muruli, the second-born in a family of 10 children, said she regrets coming to Nairobi with her late sister, the lastborn, after the Easter festivities.
She said came to the city to work as a house help, and their plan was to make money and use it to fund their ailing mother’s treatment.
According to her, another sister of the deceased, Esther Mbone, had informed them that she knew of someone who was looking for a domestic helper urgently and that the person had agreed to take her sister for the job.
Ms Nanjala, who dropped out of school in Class 7 due to life’s pressures, packed her bags and left for Nairobi. She stayed at Ms Muruli’s house in Kangemi for a few days before leaving for Ms Mbone’s home in Kawangware. She stayed there for a few weeks before reporting to work in Embakasi in May.
“We were more than happy. Our mother has been very sick. Her body has swollen and we have never had enough money to fund her treatment. We knew that whatever amount Nanjala would add would go a long way to help with finding her proper treatment,” Muruli said.
Muruli alleged that at the hospital, Cynthia opened up to her about the incident that led her to the hospital.
“It is my employer who raped me. He covered me up and did it! I am sure he did it. Even the other house help knows that it happened. I have not told anyone but you,” Cynthia told her sister.
Muruli said she couldn’t reported the matter to the police immediately as she was also tending to her son, who was also admitted at the same hospital.
She added that she called her sister’s employer to tell him that her sister was admitted at KNH.
“The employers said they had not seen Nanjala for a number of days. They said she left the house one day at around 7pm to take clothes from the drying line and they had seen her since,” she said.
It is then that the family suspected something was wrong. The employer had not informed Cynthia’s sisters that she was missing.
On May 20, Muruli reported the matter at the Embakasi Police Station under OB number 110/20/5/2022. She was asked to record a statement but was told that no action would be taken until Ms Nanjala got better and was able to share her account with the police.
Cynthia died on June 2 at the KNH. A post-mortem exam on her body was inconclusive, with part of the report saying samples had been taken from her spinal cord and brain for more toxicological test.
Her body is still lying at the KNH mortuary because the family has not cleared a hospital bill amounting to Sh112,000, which they say they have been unable to raise.
“Our mother is sick, so sick that she can barely stand. She keeps asking me if we can really get that money so that we can bury my sister at home, and I tell her I do not know. We are helpless. I call on willing people to help us pay that bill and bury our sister,” Muruli said
Embakasi sub-county Police Commander , who confirmed the incident told the Nation that they were waiting for a conclusive post-mortem report before taking their next step.
“Investigations on this matter are still ongoing and we hope to follow leads offered by the post-mortem report,” he said.
Clergyman, David Ibiyeomie, has berated men who are impotent and refuse to tell their spouses of their condition before they get married.
The founder of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt, in a sermon preaching against premarital intercourse, said such men have breached the law of sincerity, which is intended to be followed before and after courtship.
Ibiyiemoie admonished his congregation to abandon the conventional concept that a man or woman must engage in pre-marital sex in order to test their potential partner’s sexual prowess.
In his words,
“Till tomorrow many people believe what is not in line with the word of God. Even in church. Even if you say the Bible says this, they would say leave bible. I am talking about what is happening now. That is tradition. That is you are accepting what you believe instead of the word of God.
It is tradition to test before marriage. It is tradition but it is not accepted in church everywhere. They will now ask you how would you know if a man is impotent. People say it. That is tradition. ‘How can you say somebody that wants to marry cannot taste first. You have to taste first so you can know if the man is strong or not’
Listen, the man who is sincere to you must open up to you if he is impotent or not. If any man who is impotent marries a woman without telling her, that man has broken the law of truthfulness. The man should tell her he is impotent. But don’t say how would he know. Tradition says so but the word of God did not say so.
The bible says Marriage is honorable when the bed is undefiled. Two of you must go as virgins to marry. Even in the church they would say you have to taste. Is it Egusi soup?”
A law firm in Anambra state has revealed plans to without the salaries of their employees without a Permanent Voters Card (PVC).
