Daniel also promised to get her a trip to Dubai and even name one of his designer perfumes after her. He noted that he as decided to come to her aide because she represented the people of Port-Harcourt in the house.

He also addressed Tacha's character in the house. He noted that he is not perfect and he worked on himself so Tacha can do the same because she is not perfect.

The big boy also addressed the fact that singer Zlatan made a song about the ex-housemate. He said it was unfair for Zlatan to make a song about Tacha, adding that what he did was body shaming.

Daniel said he has reached out to Tacha's brand but he is still expecting a reply from them after they told him they had to get the ex-housemate's answer to his offer.

Hon. Wunmi Onanuga says “BBNaija is nothing but pornography”

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 11:00 PM PDT


House of Representatives member, Hon. Wunmi Onanuga, has criticized the Big Brother Reality show, stating that it has been reduced to pornography.

Hon. Onanuga is the Chairperson of the Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development and also an active member of the House of Representatives.

In a recent interview with
TheNation, she was asked to give her opinion about the current Big Brother Naija show.

In her words ;
"First of all, I don't watch it. Because the first time, I did, I think it was four or five years ago. I don't know what I was doing that night. I think I was unable to sleep because I had lots of stuff I was writing that night.

The television was on so I could have sound in my room. I don't know how I got to watch it that night and I saw how they were being intimate on the programme, and I was like: is this what they do?
I was shocked that that programme would get to the point where on live television, adults, so to speak…they're adults, they can do what they like, but they have turned it to pornography.

Even if it was under the duvet or whatever it is, it was obvious they were getting intimate. And I just got disgusted. For me, it is a personal thing and I do not agree with the values it is sending across.

We have enough problems with young people being sexually active at a very young age. We don't need a programme that will tell them that being that active is moral. It is immoral! That is personal. .
Those who believe they can make so much money with a programme like that, I think everything these days is reduced to naira and kobo. But we have so many intelligent, talented, gifted people out there who need to be encouraged.

There are so many people who have invented things in this country, who exactly is encouraging them? We talk about corporate social responsibility, what exactly is the CSR of the companies who make money in this country? .

A young man at the time I watched the programme got a First Class from a university in Nigeria and he was given a cheque of N100,000, and a person who was cooped up in a place for three months gets N30 million."

Just In: Former Uk Prime Minister Lied, They Ganged Up Against Me Over Same Sex Marriage - Jonathan

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 10:05 AM PDT

Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's former president

President Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's former president  has debunked claims that he rejected the offer to rescue some of the kidnapped Chibok girls as claimed in a book written by former UK prime minister, David Cameron.

In a rebuttal he personally signed, Jonathan declared that there was no way he could have rejected an offer made by those he personally invited to assist with the search and rescue operation.below is the full text of the statement by the former President.

My Response To David Cameron's Claims
I read the comments by former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record, in which he accused me and the Nigerian Government, which I headed, of corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the Chibok Girls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014.

It is quite sad that Mr Cameron would say this because nothing of such ever occurred. As President of Nigeria, I not only wrote letters to then Prime Minister David Cameron, I also wrote to the then US President, Barrack Obama, and the then French President, François Hollande, as well as the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, appealing to them for help in rescuing the Chibok Girls.

How could I write to appeal for help and then reject the very thing I appealed for?

Also, history contradicts Mr Cameron. On March 8, 2012, when the same Boko Haram linked terrorists abducted a British expatriate named Chris McManus, along with an Italian hostage Franco Lamolinara, in Sokoto, I, as Nigerian President, personally authorised a rescue effort by members of the British military Special Boat Service supported by officers and men of the Nigerian Army, to free the abducted men.

So, having set a precedent like that, why would I reject British help in rescuing the Chibok Girls, if it was offered?

I also authorised the secret deployment of troops from the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel as a result of the Chibok incident, so how Mr Cameron could say this with a straight face beats me.

Moreover, on March 8, 2017, the British Government of former Prime Minister, Theresa May, in a widely circulated press statement, debunked this allegation and said there was no truth in it after Mr. Cameron had made similar statements to the Observer of the UK.

In his book, Mr Cameron failed to mention that I wrote him requesting his help on Chibok. Why did he suppress that information? I remind him that copies of that letter exist at the State Houses in Nigeria and London. He never called me on the phone to offer any help. On the contrary, I am the one that reached out to him.

He accused me of appointing Generals based on political considerations. How could that be when I fired my service chiefs twice in five years, to show that I would not tolerate anything less than meaningful progress in the war on terror.

I was completely blind to ethnic or political considerations in my appointments. In civil and military matters, I appointed people that I had never even met prior to appointing them, based on their professional pedigree. Though I was from the South, most of my service chiefs came from the North.

I do, however, know that Mr Cameron has long nursed deep grudges against me for reasons that have been published in various media.

On July 24, 2013, while celebrating the passage of the United Kingdom's Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, 2013, Mr Cameron said: "I want to export gay marriage around the world".

At that occasion, he boasted that he would send the team that successfully drafted and promoted the Bill, to nations, like Nigeria, saying inter alia:

"I've told the Bill team I'm now going to reassign them because, of course, all over the world people would have been watching this piece of legislation."

As President of Nigeria at that time, I came under almost unbearable pressure from the Cameron administration to pass legislation supporting LGBTQ Same Sex marriage in Nigeria. My conscience could not stomach that, because as President of Nigeria, I swore on the Bible to advance Nigeria's interests, and not the interest of the United Kingdom or any foreign power.

As such, on Monday, January 13, 2014, I signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law after the Bill had been passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Nigeria's parliament, in line with the wishes of the Nigerian people. This happened shortly after a study of 39 nations around the world by the U.S. Pew Research Center came up with a finding which indicated that 98 percent of Nigerians were opposed to the idea of Gay Marriage.

Immediately after I took this patriotic action, my government came under almost unbearable pressure from Mr. Cameron, who reached me through envoys, and made subtle and not so subtle threats against me and my government.

In fact, meetings were held at the Obama White House and at the Portcullis House in Parliament UK, with the then Nigerian opposition to disparage me, after I had signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law.

On the issue of corruption, it suffices to say that Mr Cameron is not as competent as Transparency International, which is globally acknowledged as the adjudicator of who is corrupt and who is not.

During my administration, in 2014, Nigeria made her best ever improvement on the annual Transparency International Corruption Perception Index, moving from 144 the previous year, to 136, an 8 point improvement. As a nation, we have not made such improvements on the CPI before or after 2014.

In line with these facts, I would urge the public to take Mr. Cameron's accusations with a grain of salt. I will not be the first person to accuse him of lying on account of this book, and with the reactions in the Uk so far, I definitely will not be the last.

Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation and President of Nigeria 2010-2015.

The businesswoman had called out the serial entrepreneur's management for embezzling the money accrued for her.

Recalls the sex therapist had gifted comedian, Mr. Jollof the sum of 1 million naira for standing up for the controversial reality star due to the fact that popular entertainer, Tunde Ednut kept harassing her.

The sex thrapist revealed that she gave Tacha's management 800,000 naira for voting while actress, Nkechi Blessing donated 20,000 naira.

Don Jazzy has appealed to the federal government of Nigeria to legalise Cannabis farming.

The music mogul made this known via his Twitter page on Thursday, October 3, 2019. According to him, the government should be able to make the business environment conducive for those who would want to go into cannabis farming.

"Regulatory bodies can be established at the federal or state level to give licenses and rules to interested weed cultivators who should be made to adhere to enacted guidelines. #VoiceOfTheDon," he tweeted.


It didn't end there as he went on to express his shock at the redundancy and vagueness of the existing drug and narcotics acts in the country.

"The Dangerous Drugs Act of 1935, the Indian Hemp Act of 1966 and the NDLEA & NAFDAC Act amended in 2004 are very vague and need to be reviewed by the National Assembly. #VoiceOfTheDon," he added.

Don Jazzy's latest comments are coming a few weeks after he had called out the government over the budget spent on the country's National Assembly.
