“Going on live tv to give the impression that you have done stuff for me is wrong” – BBNaija star, Angel’s father tackles Cross

Baron Meyagy, the father of Big Brother Naija star, Angel, has tackled reality TV star Cross over his statement on the final episode of the “Shine Ya Eye” reunion show on Friday night.

The drama started after Angel, in a previous episode of the reunion show, revealed a couple of the things she did for her former best friend, Cross, which, according to her, weren’t reciprocated.

She further revealed that it was the reason she ended their friendship.

However, on last night’s episode, Cross, in his defense, noted that, contrary to Angel’s claim, he also did a couple of things for her family.

This statement apparently did not sit well with Angel’s father, and he has now taken to Twitter to slam Cross.

According to him, it was wrong of his daughter’s ex-best friend to create an impression on national TV that he “did things for him.”

He said he only asked Cross and others to donate to a charitable cause.

In his words,

“Dear @crossdabossike I don’t know why you’d go on live tv to give the impression that you have done stuffs 4me? I asked you and several people to donate to a charitable cause my partner and I held 4 an orphanage for Xmas,of which u did & got tagged 2d videos? This is wrong!”

Sowore speaks on his poor performance in first WASSCE attempt, shares result online

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has explained why he performed poorly in his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) after the document sparked controversy after he released it online.

The media personality took to Facebook a few days ago to share snapshots of the documents he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which included his WASSCE result, BSc certificate, and birth certificate.

The results Sowole shared showed he failed the majority of the courses he took, with a credit in Mathematics and a pass in Agricultural Science.

The result quickly spread across various social media platforms, and Nigerians were expressing their opinions on his performance.

A Facebook user @Simon Utsu wrote,

“Na wa oh. See Omoyele Sowore waec result. F9 flowing like milk 🥛 & honey 🍯 everywhere. He barely credited Mathematics. Agba Jalingo, na this dangerous result your man wan use rule Nigeria? If I wrote waec from primary school, I would have done better than this. Ha!”

Well, in an updated post explaining the reason for his poor performance, Sowore revealed he took a “second stab at WASCE at a different high school before securing enough credits to gain admission into UNILAG”.

In his words,

“Yesterday I uploaded my education credentials meant to be submitted to INEC Nigeria today as nominations close for Presidential candidates running in the 2023 Presidential Election.

Many have asked why I performed so woefully in my first attempt at the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASCE), well, it was how it ended after that first attempt.

I did state that I took a second stab at WASCE at a different high school before securing enough credits to gain admission into the university.

I just couldn’t give up until I made it and got admitted into UNILAG in 1989 to study Geography and Planning. In fact, my late dad demoted me by asking that I go back to “Class 4″ after that woeful result I posted yesterday. After securing admission into UNILAG I had to combine the two results to get matriculated.

I appreciate the engagement provoked by sharing my not-too-good WASCE/GCE result yesterday.
Thanks!”

In other news, the leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU have said its members are not beggars and hunger won’t force them to call off their strike.

ASSU has been on strike since February 14 following the failure of the Federal government to meet their demands. After the expiration of the one-month warning strike they embarked on in February, the union announced another eight-week strike before it eventually commenced its indefinite strike.

The ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, in a statement released commended members of the union for not backing down from the strike despite the no work, no pay policy by the Federal government.

We’re not beggars. Hunger won’t force us to resume – ASUU tells FG

The leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU have said its members are not beggars and hunger won’t force them to call off their strike.

ASSU has been on strike since February 14 following the failure of the Federal government to meet their demands. After the expiration of the one-month warning strike they embarked on in February, the union announced another eight-week strike before it eventually commenced its indefinite strike.

The ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, in a statement released commended members of the union for not backing down from the strike despite the no work, no pay policy by the Federal government.

The statement reads;

“As the struggle continues, our members are commended for their commitment and steadfastness in the patriotic struggle for the survival of the university system in our country.

Our members are particularly applauded for keeping faith with the union in spite of the hardship imposed on our families as a result of the stoppage of salaries. They have made the statement loud and clear that we are not beggars and, as a result, hunger is an impotent instrument to break our resolve.

Our cast-iron resolve has forced the government to sit down and negotiate with us. We have had five meetings with the Federal Government team and two meetings with the Minister of Education. The renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement is progressing smoothly and has reached an advanced stage.

However, we must remain focused to the end of this struggle. UTAS (University Transparency and Accountability Solution) has been tested for the third time. So far, NITDA (National Information Technology Development Agency) has tested UTAS and UPS and will start testing IPPIS next week. We are undeterred by the antics of some government officials in this respect.

We are on the threshold of victory. Let us keep faith with the union. A people united can never be defeated.”

Owo church massacre: “I’ve failed my people” – Governor Akeredolu weeps at funeral for slain victims (photos)

The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, could not contain his emotions as he wept bitterly on Friday at the funeral mass for victims of the terror attack at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.

It would be recalled that it was a black Friday for Nigerians on Sunday, June 5, after gunmen invaded the Catholic church and shot sporadically at worshippers, leaving scores dead and others injured.

The remains of victims who were killed in the attack were laid to rest today, Friday, June 17, with a funeral mass that was held at the Mydas Resort and Hotel, Owo.

Governor Akeredolu and his wife, Chief Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu, were present at the event.

Governor Akeredolu, who wept during his speech, said the government failed to protect the victims of the terror attack.

“We have failed to defend these people. Not because we have not tried, but because these forces on the other side are evil and they have support. They will not triumph over us forever,” He said.

The governor stated that something needs to be done in the country, and that the country’s security architecture needs to be restructured.

“When I see the sea of heads that are here it speaks volumes. What has happened to us in Owo in Ondo state is indescribable. A lot of words are used to qualify it. Dastardly, horrendous. But I still believe there are words to use to describe it but I still short of those words.

“We have just 22 (deceased) in this hall. A few of them have been buried. Because the relatives couldn’t wait till today. But as at the last count, these animals came to the church and murdered 40 people.” Governor Akeredolu added.

However, the Bishop of Ondo Catholic Diocese, Dr. Jude Arogundade, responded quickly, declaring that Akeredolu has not failed to defend his people.

“You didn’t fail. You are a strong soldier. Your determination to protect those who voted you into power is unquestionable. This was done by cowards. You have tried your best.” Bishop Arogundade said.

He thanked the Governor for accepting to designate a memorial park in honour of the victims, stressing that those who created the situation that made the incident happened has bloods on their hands.

Members of the State House of Assembly, led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. David Bamidele Oleyelogun also attended the service.

Members of the state executive council, led by the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu, were also present at the funeral mass.

Other dignitaries at the funeral mass included: Former Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko; Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Engr. Ade Adetimehin; and Chieftain of the APC , Chief Olusola Oke.

“Stop lending money to people” – Man advises as he shares message from debtor who dared him to ‘do his worst’

A Nigerian man has shared a screenshot of the message he received from a debtor who has refused to return his money after four years.

Taking to Twitter, the man identified as Richie disclosed that the debtor owed him money for four years before suddenly becoming unreachable and blocking him to prevent him from asking.

He claimed that when the debtor finally unblocked him, he asked for the money, but he flatly refused to return it and challenged him to do his worst.

From the message he shared, the debtor insisted that he had no plans to refund the money as he also had people who were owing him and had refused to pay.

“I cant give you the money”, the debtor said.

When Richie inquired as to why he was refusing to repay the money he had borrowed, the debtor replied,

“I don’t have reason a lot of people are owing me but I don’t act like a lunatic towards them. So I’ve decided that I’ll not give you”.

Sharing the chat, Richie advised his followers to stop lending people money.

According to him, the danger of lending people money is that you tend to lose the friendship and may never get the money back.

“Stop lending money to people. They won’t pay you back… When you lend people money, you tend to lose both the money and friendship”. He tweeted.

“Landlords cannot unilaterally increase rent, both of you must agree” – Nigerian Lawyer

Nigerian Lawyer

A Nigerian lawyer has sparked controversy on social media after saying that landlords cannot unilaterally increase the rent of their tenants.

According to @Egi_Nupe_, both the landlord and tenant must agree for the rent to be increased but if the landlord insists on increasing the rent, the tenant should demand for a quit notice.

He further stated that when the duration of the quit notice expires, only a court order can eject the tenant from the property.

“Your landlord cannot unilaterally increase rent, both of you must agree. If he insists, tell him to serve quit notice. After the expiration, only a court order can eject you from the property,” he tweeted.

However, the tweet sparked mixed reactions online as people opine that he’s wrong and landlords can choose to increase rent without consulting the tenant.

Reacting to the controversy, the lawyer wrote,

“It’s the lawyers capping in the comments section for me. Apparently, most of them are those advising their clients-landlords to disregard tenants’ rights. They issue irregular quit notices, advise landlords to resort to self-help and frustrate tenants.

If not, why is it hard to have an understanding with a tenant before increasing the rent? Why do you want to eject a tenant without quit notice or court order? What does it profit you to lord over tenants and abuse their rights cos you own the house? Terrible much!!!!

The message was clear: agree with your landlord on rent increment. If you don’t agree, then do the proper thing. But you are all in the comment section capping and expecting a detailed syllabus on tenancy law.”

UK govt shuts down pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s church over £1.9m fraud allegations

The U.K government has shut down Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, founded by UK-based Nigerian Pastor, Tobi Adeboyega, over an alleged £1.87 million fraud.

The evangelical church commonly known as SPAC Nation was wound up in the High Court on 9 June 2022 before Judge Burton, after the church reportedly failed to properly account for more than £1.87 million of outgoings and operating with a lack of transparency.

The court heard that SPAC Nation was incorporated in 2012, a charity set up to advance Christianity. Much of its charitable work was based in London, working particularly with vulnerable people, youth, and offenders.

The Christian group was first well-accepted and earned media attention. However, by late 2019, SPAC Nation has come under fire from the public when former church members claimed that senior church officials had taken advantage of them financially.

After receiving concerns about SPAC Nation, the Insolvency Service launched its own private investigation into the church group’s operations.

According to a statement posted on the country’s website, the Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator of the company.

The statement reads,

“The court heard that SPAC Nation was incorporated in 2012, a charity set up to advance Christianity. Much of its charitable work was based in London, working particularly with vulnerable people, youth, and offenders.

Initially, the church group received positive reviews and media attention. But by late 2019 SPAC Nation was subject to media scrutiny following allegations by former church members they had been financially exploited by senior church personnel.

Investigators interviewed pastor Dapo Adegboyega and he said that the church group had over 2,000 members and 200 ordained ministers and pastors but failed to provide any supporting information.

Further enquiries found that SPAC Nation either failed to comply or only partially complied with statutory requirements, including providing data to support claimed donations, and accounting records in support of £1.87 million of expenditure.

The company’s financial statements in the two years to 31 December 2019 set out £610,000 of rent expenditure. However, the company did not have a single base of its own and would hire venues across London to hold services, at significant expense.

Salvation Proclaimer Ministries Limited was wound-up after the court concluded the company operated with a lack of transparency, filed suspicious or incorrect accounts, and was insolvent at the time of the hearing.

It was also recognised that the company provided inconsistent information to the Insolvency Service and Charity Commission, and failed to deliver up adequate accounting records”.

“Ladies, there’s no point playing hard to get. It’s old school” – BBNaija star, Saga says

Saga says

Big Brother Naija star, Saga Adeolu has advised ladies to stop playing hard to get because it’s archaic.

According to Saga, the common notion that women should not show interest in a guy too quickly because it would make them seen as an easy catch is outdated.

Saga says

The 28-year-old fitness enthusiast, who was stuck on his co-star, Nini, on the sixth edition of Big Brother Naija show, shared this opinion on Twitter on Friday, June 17.

“Ladies if you like him, there’s really no point playing hard to get.
Let’s all agree, that shit is old school”, he tweeted.

However, many people expressed disagreement with his take as they opined that ladies shouldn’t be easily accessible to a male admirer because it would lead to disrespect and contempt.

A Twitter user wrote, “And wen you play easy to get, they think you are cheap and still break your heart…This life no Balance”

Reacting to the lady’s concern, Saga said he doesn’t mean ladies should play easy to get but they should simply be themselves.

A while ago, Saga Adeolu got ladies swooning on social media after he gifted his co-star and love interest, Nini Singh, a beautiful pencil drawing of her face. Read here

22-year-old woman held captive for months by roommate who raped, tortured and cut her tongue out

A California man has been arrested and charged with torture, false imprisonment, mayhem, forceful rape, and other felonies after reportedly holding a 22-year-old woman in his home against her will for months.

The 59-year-old man, identified as Peter Anthony McGuire, is alleged to have held his female roommate captive in his home for 6 months.

The alleged 22-year-old victim, who has not been publicly identified, allegedly escaped from the suspect’s home on Thursday night, June 9 and was found in a park by bystanders who called the police, according to officials.

“Very soon after moving into the house she was not allowed to leave, she was held there against her will by him and at that point was subjected to multiple assaults,” Police officials said in a statement.

McGuire “subjected” her to repeated assaults, including cutting out her tongue, taking out an eye, and slicing her nose, ear, and lip, according to a criminal complaint.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that “the victim had obvious injuries consistent with the claims made.”

She was taken to a local hospital and is now in stable condition, said the San Bernadino District Attorney’s Office
.
McGuire had already fled his home by the time police arrived, but investigators tracked him down in Orange County and took him into custody on Saturday, June 11 after a standoff between him and police.

He, on the other hand, has pled not guilty to counts of kidnapping, torture, mayhem, rape, false imprisonment, sodomy, forcible oral copulation, and assault with a deadly weapon.

He is being held at the West Valley Detention Center without bail.
