BBNaija 2019: Head of House 'Jeff' in trouble with the ladies for selecting an all guys team lead

Posted: 06 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

The 'Head of House' of the Big Brother house, Jeff got more than he bargained for when he decided to choose an all guys team lead for a task.


Jeff had selected three guys which included Mike and two other male housemates ahead of the arena games. This decision didn't go down well with the ladies as he was called out immediately.

Jeff responded saying that the reason behind his decision to select three guys was because of the masculine strength needed for the task ahead.

Tacha was of the opinion that it was wrong for all three team leads to be guys, insisting that everything they do at this point counts outside and would influence the votes they get from fans.

Jeff Immediately apologised and replaced one of the male leaders with Isilomo. However, after the selection, Jeff obviously shocked at his disapproval from the ladies again apologised to Khalifa.


Khalifa who is a Britain trained police officer then told Jeff how she doesn't like it when women aren't giving a voice. Jeff once again apologised and said he doesn't have anything against women.

The Central Bank Creative Industry Loan Sham!!!

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 09:20 AM PDT

Central Bank of Nigeria

I guess by now the euphoria that greeted the CBN collaboration with the Bankers' Committee as part of their pretentious efforts to boost job creation in Nigeria must have been replaced with anger.

The Creative Industry Financing Initiative (CIFI) for Interested applicants which states amongst other baits to attract practitioners that: "…..the Creative Industry are hereby advised to submit applications to their banks for approval and disbursement"

According to central bank, the only prerequisite for accessing this loan is:

"2.1 Prepare your business plan or statement on how much you want for your business."
"2.3 Go to any bank of your choice to access the fund."

"3.0 Tell your bank how much you need." 

"4.0 Your bank will discuss your request and provide you the money."

For those who don't know the details please visit: www.cbn.gov.ng

The news of this initiative still pervades the air, and I can imagine how most of my colleagues felt when they read this purported deviation from a negative course of action especially when it comes from a clime that is notoriously known to be care less about the welfare or economic empowerment and growth of its citizenry.

This is a clarion call to all who have been deceived by this tactical plot to maneuver people to believe that the apex bank is supporting the creative industry and other industries with easily accessible loans to disregard the initiative because it is a sham. If you have applied for it your bubble would have been bursted by now and for those who are about to apply for it, please don't' break a sweat, otherwise you will be confronted with the usual repelling prerequisite for accessing a loan which is to have commensurate collateral.

Banks have been instructed by CBN to make sure they secure the loan by attaching security conditions before issuing it. If this is not a sham, how else do you explain the volte-face condition that says secure the loan, otherwise bear the consequence?

This buttresses the fact that our history is replete with leadership dilemma that is synonymous with indifference level that is historically detached from the people it is meant to serve. The leadership disinterest and stratagem that Nigerians are still being subjected to is so legendary that the past and present situations have subjected Nigerians to situations of accepting the devil's alternative which compels Nigerians to choose and accept one of two or more unsatisfactory policy alternatives.
 
This piece is to propel my colleagues to speak out against this central bank ruse and not to embrace any
form of reasoning that will lead to accepting undesirable alternatives.

Meet Toyin Odutola; Nigerian Artist That Sold Her Artwork For N215 Million

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 07:00 AM PDT


Toyin Odutola is trending on social media for an enviable reason. She is an America-based female Nigerian artist's and one of her artwork was sold at a whooping N215m.

The price of her sale has not only broken her bank account but it has also set a new record which puts her behind fellow female artist, Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) stated.

THE STORY


After moving from Nigeria to America at the age of five, Ojih Odutola became aware of her blackness and began questioning her identity.

Due to the shock of this transition, she used art as a coping mechanism, and over time, it transformed into an "investigative, learning activity" for her.

Speaking with Vogue about how art helped her escape, Odutola said: "I was obsessed, capturing everything I saw and being fascinated with the incredibly simple task of looking at something and transmitting it onto paper. It's an immediate magic."

Odutola creates multimedia drawings on various surfaces investigating formulaic representations and how such images can be unreliable, systemic, and socially-coded.

She has participated in exhibitions at various institutions, including The Drawing Center, New York (2018-19); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2017-18); Brooklyn Museum, New York (2016).

She has also exhibited at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2015); Studio Museum Harlem, New York (2015, 2012); Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield (2013); and Menil Collection, Houston, (2012).

Her permanent collections include Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Birmingham Museum of Art, Baltimore Museum of Art and New Orleans Museum of Art.

Odutola's collections have also been displayed in Philadelphia Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, Spencer Museum of Art, Honolulu Museum of Art, and the National Museum of African Art (Smithsonian).

Meanwhile,19-year-old Nigerian medical student, Emediong, has become the youngest artist as well as the first African to have her work displayed at the Cyprus Modern Art Museum which is also the largest museum in the Mediterranean region.

The excited young lady expressed her joy in an Instagram post as she further revealed that her painting is now in the possession of Forbes listed Cypriot businessman, Suat Günsel.

Naira Marley denies stealing 'Soapy' dance

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 04:30 AM PDT

Naira Marley denies stealing 'Soapy' dance
The rapper claims he started dancing 'Soapy' while he was still behind bars. He also claims his cell mates can testify to it. 

Six days ago, Nigerian rapper, Naira Marley released his controversial single, 'Soapy' as well as the dance routine that came with it. 

As the song has surged in numbers and up the charts, criticism for the song and the accompanying dance have also soared. On the same topic, Naira Marley has also gotten into a war of words with dancer, Kaffy. 

But recently, Naira Marley was accused of stealing the 'Soapy' dance by Nigerian artist, Chief Ogbonnaya and his crew. Ogbonnaya says his song was released on June 1, 2019 and his dance, called 'flop flop' debuted on June 9, 2019.

In a video, Ogbonnaya says, "Everybody is praising you now abi that 'you're so creative, how did you come about that dance?' You dey mad? You get the brain? You get the sense to create something like that?

"E dey sweet you to eat someone else's glory abi? When the real founders (creators) of that dance are here, ehn? The name of that dance is flop flop, you went and rebrand(ed) it. 

"We sent you this song while you were in prison (jail) Because we used your hashtag FreeNairaMarley and Marlians, do that people will see the dance and repost it, you came, you saw the dance and you rebranded it into Yoruba standard because you get fan base... God dey, Jehovah dey..."

Marley has since responded, swearing on his life, that of his four children and his mother. In Yoruba, he said that he had never seen his accusers before.

He continues in English, "I've never seen them... They said they sent me something... Check the dates, fam... We've been doing that since I was in EFCC cell...

"Ask anyone in EFCC cell with me.. Bruv, we've bursting 'Soapy'... You, you want to come and say... I don't even know you. The message that you sent me, I didn't even see it... And your dance is different from my dance."

'Soapy,' the song currently sits atop the Apple chart.

Olamide and Maria Okan's relationship as ex-lovers expect 1st child

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 04:00 AM PDT

Olamide and Maria Okanrende's short-lived relationship as ex-lovers will produce a child in a few weeks.

Olamide and Maria Okan's relationship as ex-lovers expect 1st child
These rumours of Olamide and Maria Okan won't go away anytime soon.

Over the last couple of days, rumours have been rife concerning the pregnancy of former BEAT FM on-air-personality and her relationship with the YBNL boss.

Nollywodtimes can reliably confirm that Nigerian rapper Olamide is responsible for Maria Okan's pregnancy.

A good friend of Maria confided in Pulse and opened up on how her love affair with Olamide began, ended as well as how they are both ready to co-parent. 

How it all began
Our source revealed that the MTV Shuga actress had entered into a romantic relationship with Olamide with the belief that he was single and separated from his baby mama.

"Olamide told her he was single that's why she began a relationship. They loved each other," the source revealed.

Why Maria parted ways with Olamide
The affair between Maria and Olamide wasn't planned to be short-lived.  

However, the love affair began to fade away when Maria found out that the YBNL boss was still with his baby mama and long-time partner.

"They broke up because she found out he was still with his baby mother," Maria's close friend told Pulse.ng in an interview

However, it was too late to turn back the hands of time as Maria had gotten pregnant. "Later she found out she was pregnant."

Pregnancy and co-parenting
Finding out that she was pregnant with Olamide's baby, Maria reached out to him for mutual discussion and agreement.

"They discussed options. He said the decision is hers. She kept it and they planned to co-parent from the beginning," Maria's friend informed.

Resignation and relocation to the UK
After discussing with Olamide, Okanrende resigned her appointment with Beat FM and moved to London. This move, her friend said, wasn't solely her decision. "Her parents took her to London because they thought that was the best." 

Unknown to many, Maria had to battle to save her life and that of her pregnancy after relocating to London, the UK in 2019.

Her friend said, "That (relocating to the UK) was a blessing because not long after, she was admitted to hospital with serious dangers to the pregnancy. This has resulted in her pregnancy being labeled a "high-risk pregnancy" by doctors which is why she is still in London as she is monitored every week."

Okanrende's friend went on to say Olamide was notified of the development after which he sent money to the pregnant OAP. "He (Olamide) sent money for the baby when she came out of the hospital in March (2019). That is the only time he sent her money - which was to start buying baby things."

Olamide and Maria are looking forward to welcoming their child
Maria's friend explained that the actress and producer won't respond to insults and snide remarks as she needs to focus all her energy on delivering her baby in good health and condition.

"My friend won't speak because she needs to rest before the baby is delivered. She also knows better than to have her baby reading negative things in the future. Therefore she will not respond to insults. We are looking forward to her 1st child and so is the father," she told Pulse.

Pulse has reached out to Olamide's camp to make a statement concerning this but there was no response till the article was published.

On Tuesday, July 2, 2019, Olamide - with a photo of himself carrying a baby - announced the birth of his second child, Tunrepin Myles Adedeji with his partner of over 5 years, Bukunmi Aisha Suleiman.

In 2015, Olamide and Bukunmi welcomed their first child together, Maximilian Boluwatife Adedeji.

Three years after - 2018 to be precise - Olamide hinted at his decision to settle down with Bunkunmi.

Timi Dakolo denies rumours that COZA's Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo officiated his wedding

Timi Dakolo denies rumours that COZA's Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo officiated his wedding
Timi Dakolo wants everyone to know that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo didn't officiate his wedding.

Timi Dakolo has denied the rumours spreading around that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo who is been accused of raping his wife was the one who actually officiated his wedding.

The music star cleared the air via his Instagram page on Thursday, July 4, 2019, while posting his official wedding video which has now become a center of discussion. According to him, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo never officiated his wedding. He then went on to reveal who the officiating pastor of his wedding was; Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church.

"Desperate people do desperate things including ridiculous attempts at a smear campaign. So let me address this foolishness once and for all 1• First the ridiculous rumor that Biodun wedded us. Please watch the video yourself, does the Pastor look like Biodun Fatoyinbo? His name is Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church officiating the wedding and that is a statement from Yemi Davids, Pastor of Global impact church on this issue ...but nameless and faceless cyberbullies can't read, can they? 

"2• I have never met or been in the same space with Biodun Fatoyinbo nor do I ever want to be and have never been a member of COZA3• I guess that also answers the desperate attempt to say I was a music director in COZA. Funny as I have never been a music director in ANY church! A church can't have an anonymous music director, can they? Foolishness ! 4• Apparently I had a child, divorced and remarried Busola - Spirit wife and child tings # AfricaMagic, and Busola was given a monetary gift, car and flown to Chicago. No be only Chicago, na Soweto.


"Please do better, tell more believable lies. Again I say, desperate people will do desperate things ...but as I said before ...WE. ARE.READY. We came out to speak on this painful matter. To bear the shame that goes with this, to be ridiculed, to be doubted ...just so that others might be saved and justice served. We are not backing down and no amount of manufactured lies can stop the truth that has started to unveil... #notinmychurch #unbroken #truth," he wrote.

We all know how Timi Dakolo's wife, Busola, broke the Internet almost a week ago when she revealed that she was raped by Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo when she was a teenager.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested five suspected cyber criminals, popularly called Yahoo Yahoo, in Barnawa, Kaduna State.

In a statement released on Wednesday, July 3, 2019, the agency said the suspects posed online, particularly on Facebook, as United States soldiers on peace keeping mission in Afghanistan.

"They stated that they operate by creating fake Facebook pages using display pictures and names belonging to mostly foreigners in order to deceive unsuspecting victims mostly females of white nationality.

"Another mode of operation is to link up with their other conspirators known as pickers residing in US and Ghana to help in receiving their loot via their dollar accounts domiciled in the US for onwards transfer to their boss in Nigeria after they must have duped their victims. 

"They added that usually, they give 30% of their loot to these pickers while the remaining 70% is shared among the remaining members," the EFCC said.

Items recovered by the EFCC include a yellow ELEPAC generator, two HP and one Del laptop, two Huawei Network wifi, phones, wrist watch, sim cards and ATM cards.

The suspects are Ibrahim Idris, aka Ibro, (who posed online as James Scott, Ibro Wire), Sadiq Idris (Lious James, Carista Sadiq), Martins Abeku (Griffen James, CBN Martins), Blessing Nicolas (Phil Nicholas), and Esther Micheal (Xta Mikelz).

Lamboginny drags Naira Marley over Soapy song

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 02:30 AM PDT


Nigerian Musician/Global Prison Ambassador, Yinka Lawanson better known as Lamboginny has come out to drag Naira Marley over his new song titled Soapy.

The musician who spends most of his time abroad does not quite like the fact that his colleague released this track soon after coming out of prison.

A lot of criticisms have followed Naira Marley's new song Soapy and its accompanying dance steps and singer Lamboginny also tagged Soapy as a disrespect to all the inmates awaiting trial at Nigerian prisons.

Lamboginny's reaction to Naira Marley's song came after a particular event occurred. As it happened, the singer who is a Global Prisons Ambassador shared a post of himself wearing a prison uniform at the International Human Rights Summit held at the United Nations.

He did this in a bid to speak out for 49,875 prison inmates awaiting trials for years in prisons across Nigeria.

In his reaction, Lamboginny said he was disappointed, knowing fully well that Naira Marley was only just released from prison, he was promoting a romantic 'misbehaviour' in his new song rather than talking about prison reforms.

Hence, he expressed his discontent about Naira Marley's choice of music on social media.

Who is Kanye West talking about on 'Brothers' could it be Jay Z or Virgil Abloh?

Posted: 05 Jul 2019 01:30 AM PDT

On the night of Wednesday, July 6, 2019, Irv Gotti's anthology series, 'Tales,' premiered its latest episode on BET. 


The episode features a snippet to Kanye West's new song, 'Brothers.' It features Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band. When the song was teased on the trailer for the series, fans started speculating who the seemingly reformed Kanye West might be talking about. 

A few hours later on Instagram page, Irv Gotti posted the full version of the song which details Kanye's apology to his "Brother forever." 

In the accompanying caption, Irv Gotti wrote, "There is a lot of speculation right now on who is Kanye West rapping about on the song brothers. So here is the song. That BET cut off because of there way of airing episodes. 


"But it was always meant for the audience to hear the whole record. Listen. And decide for your self if you think Kanye is rapping about Jay Z or Virgil. Both Ye's Brothers. And also let me know if you liked the episode and song. We did it for yall. My hip hop culture. -IG"

Who is Kanye apologizing to? 

In the song, Kanye rapped that he missed their time together. Two names have come up about whom Kanye could be talking about. They are billionaire mogul, Jay Z and Head of Louis Vuitton's men's division and Off-White founder, Virgil Abloh. 


Jay Z is Kanye's mentor and 'Big Brother' whom he rapped about on his critically acclaimed third studio album, Graduation. But since Kanye started seeing his current wife, Kim Kardashian things have gone south between the two. Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce also missed Kanye's wedding to Kim Kardashian. 

In an unofficial remix of the song, 'Power' which appeared on his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West rapped, "Jay (Z), my big brother and B (Beyonce, Jay Z's wife) my little sister..."


But during an infamous implosive 30-minute rant about everything from Donald Trump to Drake and Kid Cudi during the Sacramento leg of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye name-checked Jay Z saying, "I've been sent here to give y'all my truth even at the risk of my own life, my own success, my own career. Jay Z—call me, bruh. You still ain't called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man."

But during a chat with Dean Baquet for the New York Times, Jay Z doused the situation. Nonetheless, Jay Z appeared to clarify why he missed Kanye's wedding on 'Friends,' a song off his collaborative album, Everything Is Love with wife, Beyonce.

Jay Z rapped, "I ain't goin' to nobody nothin' when me and my wife beefin'. I don't care if the house on fire, I'm dyin', nigga, I ain't leavin'..." He appeared to say that he missed Kanye's wedding due to his much-publicized infidelity issues. 

Virgil Abloh
Kanye West and Virgil Abloh have worked together for about 13 years, but the most notable connection between the two was when they interned together for Fendi in 2009. 

In 2010, Kanye made Virgil Abloh the head of his creative arm, DONDA - named after his mother. But around 2015, rumours started swirling of tension between the two. 

In 2013, Abloh launched his street-wear brand, Off-White, but his creative parnership with West ended when he took on a leadership role at Louis Vuitton's men's wear division. 


During Drake's beef with Pusha T (and Kanye), he threw a shot at Kanye West, "I could never have a Virgil (Abloh) in my circle and hold him back coz he makes me nervous, I want to see my BROTHERS flourish to their higher purpose..." 

This verse could have come off private conversations he had Kanye West. Nonetheless, Kanye appeared at the June 2018 Paris Fashion Week where Virgil Abloh debuted as the first African-American head of menswear for Louis Vuitton.

Back to the song 'Brothers' with Charlie Wilson...
Who could Kanye rapping about?

Kizz Daniel is threatening to file a lawsuit at anyone spreading the gist that he is in support of COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo who is being accused of rape.


Kizz Daniel is presently threatening not just lawsuits but fire and brimstones at those who claim he is supporting the embattled pastor of COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo who is being accused of rape.

The music star made this known via his Instagram page on Wednesday, July 3, 2019. According to him, at no point did he grant any interview where he declared his support for the Pastor. He, however, sent warning signals to a journalist who wrote the said article in a popular newspaper.

"God will punish you both now and in eternity @iamkyno — you and all the people behind you. I'm coming for you with all I've got Oga and I swear, you go feel am. My attention has been drawn to a publication by the Vanguard newspaper stating that I took sides with the embattled Pastor of COZA, Abiodun Fatoyinbo. I will like to categorically state that I never granted an interview with Vanguard or any newspaper," he wrote.


He then went on to reveal that he is presently not in the country which obviously makes it almost impossible to have granted an interview. He then concluded that he will be filing lawsuits against any platform that publishes this particular news.

"I am currently busy on tour in the US and haven't had the time to discuss the issue in my closet let alone call industry mates names. Please disregard this news article making rounds. It is false and fabricated, I have not spoken to any journalist regarding the said matter or any other matter including music in recent times. Any platform(s) that publishes this news or any unverified news about Kizz Daniel and FlyBoy INC. will face legal action. And as for you @iamkyno pls run away as far as you can, I beg you 🙏🏽 @vanguardnews bastards!!!! @iamtimiblaq ti e ma baje patapata ni awsr," he concluded.

Kizz Daniels claims are coming a few days after the internet went into a frenzy with the interview granted by Timi Dakolo's wife, Busola who said she was raped by Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo when she was a teenager.
