BBNaija 2021: I will give my wife a second chance – Tega’s husband on adultery saga

Husband of controversial BBNaija housemate Tega Dominic has cleared the air on events involving the housemate and her rendezvous while in the house.

In an exclusive interview with blogger, Tunde Ednut, AJ Money revealed that contrary to Tega’s claims, they never reached an agreement permitting her to get intimate with male housemates.

“I am going to be honest, before she left for the big brother house, she said something like she was going to do everything but she was not going to have sex. I was like ‘I don’t understand. What do you mean like everything? C’mon, if you go in there and act anyhow, we are in Nigeria. If you act anyhow, people will vote you out and judge you. So if you are going there, represent us as a married woman.’ That was what I told her which she agreed with me. So I really don’t understand what I was seeing on TV. I was really broken.”

While admitting he was yet to speak to his wife since her Sunday eviction, the father of one shared that her display on the show was shocking as she had never showed signs of infidelity.

“We are very very responsible. Tega is a very good girl so I wonder why she just went there and did what she did…I feel broken like my ego has been tampered with. I can’t even leave my house ’cause there are a lot of stories on the streets.

“I am surprised and I didn’t believe that was my wife. Tega is a god-fearing woman. She has never for one day disobeyed me or even tried to…Mehn! This is a different Tega I am seeing.”

Reacting to questions on what the future holds for them? AJ Money shared that he has no plans of turning his back on his wife as this will be the first time she will be embroiled in such a mess.

“I know she knows what she did was very bad but she needs us more than ever. I don’t think

The Governor offered the reasons in a chat with newsmen after the visit to the President on Monday at the Presidential Villa.

Unahi said he met with President Buhari to thank him for the “mega projects” his administration is implementing in the South East, adding that the people of the region are grateful to him.

He said: “One is to thank him very highly for a number of mega projects that he is doing in the South East. “The Second Niger bridge is fast and fast becoming a reality.

“Each time we visit that bridge, it is always like a dream.

“So, we the people of South East are very grateful to Mr. President for this.

“We also thank him for the award of this Eastern corridor of the railway line.

“This is a project that is going to fast track the commercial activities of our people.

Former army sniper kills 4, including infant, in Florida shooting spree

A former sniper in the US military went on a shooting spree in central Florida, killing four people, including an infant boy in his mother’s arms, officials said Sunday.

The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Bryan Riley, shot and killed a 40-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and her three-month-old son in a residential area in Polk County, Florida, said County Sheriff Grady Judd. The fourth victim was the child’s 62-year-old grandmother.

Riley, who was wearing full body armor, also wounded an 11-year-old girl before surrendering himself to the police following an intense gunfight, Judd said.

Riley, a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, told the police he was a “survivalist” and that he had been taking methamphetamine.

The suspect also told the police, without elaborating, “You know why I did this,” according to a statement from Judd published on social media.

Riley was wounded in the gunfight and was rushed to a local hospital, where he again tried to attack police officers and had to be sedated.

After he received medical help, the suspect was transferred to a local jail.

It was not immediately clear what prompted the attack, Judd said. An investigation is underway.…

Moamar Gaddafi’s son Saadi released from prison 10 years after Libyan dictator’s downfall

The son of former Libyan dictator Moamar Gaddafi has been released from prison, one decade on from the uprising that toppled his father’s regime.

Saadi Gaddafi had been in detention in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, since 2014 following his extradition from neighbouring Niger.

Local media reported the younger Gaddafi was released after being acquitted of charges dating back to the uprising against his father’s rule.

At the time of the 2011 revolt, which was part of the broader Arab Spring movement, Saadi Gaddafi headed a special forces brigade that was involved in the crackdown on protesters and rebels.

Prime Minister-designate Abdul Hamid Dbeibah said in a Twitter post early on Monday that Saadi Gaddafi had been released in compliance with a previous court order.

Mohamed Hamouda, a spokesman for Libya’s transitional government, said Saadi Gaddafi walked free from Tripoli’s al-Hadaba prison, where many former regime officials are being held pending trial, mostly in connection with the crackdown on the 2011 uprising that toppled the longtime ruler and led to his killing.

Mr Hamouda did not elaborate on the circumstances of the release.

Saadi Gaddafi was smuggled across the desert to Niger in 2011 just as his father’s regime was crumbling.

But he was extradited in March 2014 after he, as well as colleagues who accompanied him, “failed to respect the conditions of his stay in Niger”, the West African nation’s government said at the time.

Following his release, he travelled to Turkey, according to the al-Marsad news website.

During his father’s rule, Saadi Gaddafi was known for his lavish lifestyle and he treated Libya’s soccer league as his personal fiefdom.

He played for several Libyan teams and for an Italian team until he failed a drug test. At various times, he headed Libya’s soccer federation and its national team.

In one case, security forces opened fire on fans at a 1996 match Saadi Gaddafi attended, killing a number of people in murky circumstances.

He is also suspected in the 2005 killing of …

OAP Nedu responds to ex-wife’s allegation, says he is not the father of their 1st child

On-Air personality Nedu has replied his ex-wife Uzor Ohiri over the domestic allegation levelled against him. In a post shared via his Instagram page on Saturday, September 4, 2021, the OAP accused Uzor of cheating and revealed that he isn’t the father of their first child.

“Our marriage was one filled with a lot of issues. One of which was continuous infidelity from her side that led to me conducting a paternity test on our kids which led to the revelation that our first son is not my biological son even though he was born within the period during which we were married,” he wrote.

“On the allegation of domestic violence, we have had this matter investigated twice, one the police station in Ajah and another by a competent court of law during the dissolution of our marriage.”

“Both times I was cleared of all allegations and I have the necessary proof to back up my claim. If anyone should be laying claims to domestic violence it should be me.”

He went on to appeal to his ex-wife to desist from washing their ‘dirty linens’ outside.

“I am appealing to my ex wife to remember our kids and to not continue on this path she has chosen as the Internet never forgets and they will one day grow up to deal with this mess she is hell bent on creating,” he added.

“I have no issues wit her and would like to continue to mind the business that pays me. If she has any issues to join me with me, she is free to file her complaints and approach any court of competent jurisdiction to pursue justice. Thanks.”

Nedu’s statement came hours after Uzor dragged him over domestic violence.

BBNaija 2021: Nini and Saga declare Boma an ‘Idiot’ for getting evicted

Housemates Nini and Saga have reacted to Boma’s Sunday eviction.

In a video clip currently making the rounds, the couple blamed Boma’s early eviction on how he treated co-housemate Queen.

“Boma didn’t judge her well, he f**ked up, she would’ve been good for him,” Saga said.

“Bad/Good for him [Boma], he is a f**king idiot. Thinking he wants to fool the girl” Nini replied.

Watch the video:

Recall Boma exited the show alongside Tega, Michael and Peace in BBNaija’s first ever king size eviction.

The housemate emerged in the bottom six list with less than one percent (0.81%) of the fan votes.

Going by Twitter reaction, the housemate had earned the scorn of viewers for getting intimate with married housemate Tega. Both housemates trended for days after getting a little too intimate for the comfort of viewers.

It appears that Boma’s fallout with fan-favorite Angel also got him more negative reaction from the viewers.

Meanwhile Saga and Michael received their first strikes (the fifth strike issued this season) on Sunday for damaging Big Brother’s property. Biggie had announced a punishment if they missed the eviction.

“ECOWAS reaffirms its disapproval of any unconstitutional political change. She asks the defense and security forces to remain in a posture Republican and expresses its solidarity with the Guinean people and Government.”

Onyeama stated: “The Government of Nigeria strongly condemns and rejects any unconstitutional change of government.

“And therefore calls on those behind this coup to restore constitutional order without delay and protect all lives and property.”

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that on Sunday evening, heavy gunfire exchange was reported near the Presidential Palace in Conakry, the country’s capital.

The Federal Government will recover millions of naira wrongly paid to 588 Medical Doctors across the country.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, stated this when he spoke with newsmen in Abuja over the weekend.

Ngige, who fielded questions from State House Correspondents, explained that affected doctors wrongly benefitted from Medical Residency Training Fund meant for particular category of doctors.

He said the names of the doctors were uncovered after a thorough scrutinized of the 8,000 names submitted by Chief Medical Directors of Federal Government health institutions for the training programs. The Minister, however, revealed that a substantial amount of the money had been refunded by some of the affected doctors, while efforts had been intensified to recover the remaining balance.

He maintained that the delay in making the refund by the affected doctors was holding back the Residency Fund payment by the government.

Ngige said: “Ministry of Health has gotten the list of doctors who supposedly are to benefit from the Medical Residency Training Fund.

“Total submission of about 8,000 names were gotten and the Ministry of Health is scrutinizing them.

“We have done the first round of scrutinizing and they will now compare what they have with the Post-Graduate Medical College and the Chief Medical Directors who submitted the names.

“The Association of Resident Doctors, in each of the tertiary centers, worked with the CMDs to produce those names, but now that the names are being verified.

“We discovered that about 2,000 names shouldn’t be there because they don’t have what is called Postgraduate Reference Numbers of National Postgraduate Medical College and (or) that of the West African Postgraduate Medical College.

“So, this is it and that is the only thing holding back the Residency Fund payment because it is there already for… incurred expenditure has been done by the Finance Minister and an it’s in the Accountant-General’s office.

Nigerian music icon 2Face Idibia’s wife, Annie has called him out over his relationship with one of his baby mamas, Pero Adeniyi. The movie star took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, September 2, 2021, where she called him out over their relationship.

“But today, this move done by you, Efe, Frankie and your family is unacceptable.”

She went on to call him out for sleeping at the house of one of his baby mamas, Pero for days, during his trip to the United States of America.

Kemi Adetiba disassociates self from viral comment on site illegally circulating ‘KOB’ series

Kemi Adetiba has reacted to claims that she dropped a comment on an infamous film piracy site on Tuesday.

Reacting to screenshots of a comment registered in her name on the site, Adetiba revealed she had nothing to do with the comment and had no prior knowledge of the site.

“This is not me. I don’t even know where this site is. Very disturbing,” the film director wrote on Twitter.

The comment formally believed to be Adetiba’s sparked major reaction from users of the site. Comments rolled in attacking the filmmaker, accusing her of being selfish for refusing to let fans get the series for free.

Unfortunately, links of ‘King of Boys: The Return of the King’ began circulating on social media groups barely 24 hours after it premiered on Netflix. The series released to mind-blowing reviews from fans aka the ‘KOB Army’. Following the story of Eniola Salami’s (Sola Sobowale) return to Lagos after a five-year exile, the seven-episode limited series trended for days after its August 27 release.

BBNaija 2021: Angel and Boma in nasty fight over kiss & tell allegations

The ‘Shine Ya Eye’ season recorded its first gbas gbos session after a few weeks on Thursday after Boma and Angel got to near blows and had to be separated by housemates. Things heated up quickly with the housemates over an argument of who spilled details of their executive lounge session from some weeks back. Angel had hinted on Boma being a kiss and tell.

Recall Boma and Angel enjoyed an exclusive time in the executive lounge where they shared a kiss and talked about their sexual preference. They also agreed to not share details of their moment with other housemates.

It appears one of the pair did the talking and that sparked some tension between them that rapidly escalated to name-calling and wigs flying. In the exchange, Boma fired some below the belt shots targeting Angel’s mental health and her family which enraged the 21-year-old.

The Boma versus Angel clash comes amid Boma trending for getting intimate with married housemate, Tega. Prior to his involvement with Tega, the 34-year-old had slept in Angel’s bed for a few days right after their time in the executive lounge.
