Wale Jana - “Mercy won because she was well behaved. Nasty people don’t make money”

Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:00 AM PDT


Wale Jana took to his Instagram page today to congratulate Mercy on her emergence as the winner of the Big Brother'Pepper Dem'Season.

However, in addition to the congratulatory message, he also shaded people with nasty attitudes, stating how they always end up losing out in business.

Most of his followers opined that the businessman was indirectly referring to ex-BBNaija housemate, Ceec, who he signed as one of his ambassadors but has since dropped.


In his words;

"I watched as Mercy clinged the cash prize of 60 million yesterday and I learnt couple of things:

1.Originality sells; Mercy was just being herself, she's a beautiful woman who doesn't hide her emotions, she played the game but her heart was in it, she wasn't acting a script.

2. Nasty people don't make money: If a brand or an organization invests in you and you start behaving irrational by breaking their rules and acting like an unfortunate person they will dump you and the gist will spread, I give you 3 years you will be forgotten and broke. Nasty people are bad for business, if their character stinks drop them like a hot plate.

3. Faith is valid: Mercy talked about winning that money than every other housemate. Say what you want to see and it will happen!
Tag someone who should read this. You too can be a social media evangelist. Please share so that others can be blessed as you have been blessed. ThankYouJesus"


Budget 2020: Photo Of Melaye Greeting President Buhari At NASS Trigers Reactions On Social Media

Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:38 AM PDT

Senator Dino Melaye and President M. Buhari

Controversial Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West in the Red Chambers of the National Assembly, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a staunch critic of President Buhari.

Dino is popular on social media as a result of his 'dramatic' actions, controversial posture and outspokenness on the floor of the Senate, Melaye never spares words when it comes to criticising the President and his administration, Legit reports.

It could be recalled that his criticisms of President Buhari dates back to 2018 when he and other lawmakers dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the PDP.

Giving the harshness and the consistency of his criticisms of the federal government, the last thing Nigerians would expect is seeing smiling and exchanging warm greetings with the president.

For instance when President Buhari was booed during the presentation of the 2019 budget last year, many believed Senator Melaye was one of the unruly lawmakers who engaged in the 'embarassing' act, although he denied involvement.
