#BBNaija2019: Nigerian man addresses all married men "Remember Mike when next you want to cheat on your wives"

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 03:26 PM PDT


The BBNaija 2019 reality show has finally come to an end but not without leaving Nigerians with many things to remember.

Foremost on the list of memories seems to be the character of one of the housemates, Mike, who happens to be a happily married man.

Unlike other married men who participated in the show in the past, Mike seemed to behave himself in a better way and Nigerians have praised him for it.

A Facebook user, Alex Okonkwo, took to his page to share a now viral post celebrating the married man. According to the post, infidelity is a choice and men are to be held responsible for deciding to cheat.

The post further stated that Mike respected himself, his wife and his vows despite there being several beautiful ladies in the BBNaija house.

See the post below:

Dear average Nigerian married men, hope you learned something from Mike O Edwards of BBN 4?

Infidelity is a choice. You are responsible for what you do with your penis. You cheat or misbehave because you want to or you are a dog, not because you can't control yourself.

Mike lived 99 days with different beautiful ladies of different sizes, complexion, height and shapes. He saw them in skimpy outfits, shared bathrooms and bedrooms with them, but not for once did we see his boner. Not for once did he behave inappropriately around any of them.

He respected himself, his wife, his wedding vows and his brand, even though he knows our society would have made excuses for him or forgiven him easily if he had messed around with any of the girls in that house.

Remember this when next you want to make silly excuses for philandering husbands or put the blame on wives of cheating men.
Remember this when next you justify sleeping with the house help, sister inlaw, colleague, neighbour, wife's best friend or your side chick.

Like or hate Mike, he really set a good standard for married men in that house.
He made a point.

Man like Mike!👏🏾

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 05:42 PM PDT

Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's Vice-President

Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's Vice-President has commented on the closure of Nigerian land borders.

The Vice-President spoke on Tuesday while responding to questions from a cross-section of Norwegian investors at a round-table event at the Nordic-African Business Summit holding in Oslo, Norway, Daily Post reports.

He said with the signing of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, it was important for Nigeria to take important steps.

The VP explained that the closure was "to address issues bothering on smuggling and dumping of products imported through neighbouring countries."

Osinbajo urged investors to take advantage of the friendly business climate in Nigeria to invest in key sectors of the economy.

In his Independence Day broadcast, President Muhammadu Buhari also gave reasons for the border closure.

The president said while Nigeria would continue to do business with other countries, illegal movement of crude oil will not be allowed.

He said: "We will also continue our fight against illegal bunkering of crude oil and the smuggling of refined petroleum products across our borders, including the diligent prosecution and conviction of offenders found guilty of these acts.

"Whilst Nigeria remains committed to free and fair continental and international trade, we will not hesitate to take all necessary steps to tackle illegal smuggling, transshipment and other predatory trade practices that destroy jobs in our country."

Earlier, the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), retired Col. Hameed Ali, said the closure was to strengthen the nation's security and protect its economic interests.

NNDC: N1.9bn Hyacinth Contract Scandal.....Akpabio Says It's Not True

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 08:03 AM PDT

Senator Godswill Akpabio

Senator Godswill Akpabio former Governor of Akwa Ibom State and now Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, has been
challenged to explain his role in the alleged diversion of N1.9billion from the water hyacinth contracts.

Some of the former militants who fingered Akpabio in the brewing controversy over the contract, wondered how the former governor could condescend so low to appropriated 400 slots of the water hyacinth to himself after accusing the former NDDC board of misdeeds.

But Akpabio has denied any wrongdoing, saying the contracts were awarded before his appointment as Minister and that he only authorized payments for jobs that have been completed by the militants to avoid crisis, Pointblanknews reports.

Spokesman of the aggrieved former Militants, General Ebi, in a statement, made available to Pointblanknews.com called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the anti-graft agencies to immediately swing into action over the matter.

General Ebi's statement reads in part, "The 21st century youths of the Niger Delta and agitators with conscience condemn the unprecedented and widespread fraud concerning the payment of the water hyacinth to the youths and beneficiaries of the Niger Delta.

"We therefore call on the honourable minister of Niger Delta AffairsSenator Godswill Akpabio and the Acting Managing Director of the NDDC to come out clean and exonerate themselves from this primitive and shameful looting and diverting of the funds meant for the youths to themselves.

"It is so pathetic, disgusting and shameful that our so called leaders are the real problem in the Niger Delta, if a distinguished leader that was once the governor of Akwa Ibom state for 8years and is currently the minister of Niger Delta affairs will condescend so low to have appropriated 400 slots of the water hyacinth to himself after accusing the former NDDC board of misdeeds.

"1.9billion naira was approved by the honourable minister of Niger Delta affairs Senator Godswill Akpabio for the payment of the water hyacinth as an empowerment scheme to the various beneficiaries and youths of the Niger Delta.

"But so far, what we have heard from the Director of Environment Mr Boniface Sese, who is in charge of compiling the list, is that the master list of beneficiaries has been cancelled since the former board was dissolved and was directed by the present acting MD to compile a new list of just 100 slots for the youths, 400 slots for senator Godswill Akpabio, 300 slots for the current acting MD, but him Boniface Sese the Director of Environment refused to disclose how many slots were allotted to him. However, our findings reveal that all his staff and aides are allotted 5 slots each and some directors, 10 slots.

"We therefore use this medium to call on the attention of the president and commander in chief of the federal republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari to direct the EFCC and the ICPC to immediately swing into action and we also call on the honourable minister of Niger Delta affairs Senator Godswill Akpabio to come out clean and exonerate himself as his
reputation is being dragged to the mud to defraud the youths of the Niger Delta," the statement noted.

Akpabio was only recently linked to employment scandal at the NDDC where over 300 persons were allegedly employed without the board approvals.
The Minister had swiftly backpedaled when the illegal recruitment exercise was exposed.

However, when contacted, Akpabio through his spokesman, Anietie Ekong, said the Minister only intervened in ensuring the payment of an already completed contract when the Militants staged a protest recently.

According to him, "the story is not correct. It is mudslinging from people who have lost out. It is a payment made to companies.

"No individual gets such N3million payment. Payments for all those types of contracts go straight to companies and not individuals. These are jobs that have been done before Akpabio got to that office," Ekong told Pointblanknews.com

Church, UNILAG, Suspends Randy Lecturer Over Sex For Mark Scandal

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 07:11 AM PDT

Dr Boniface Igbeneghu

The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria and the University of Lagos, have both suspended Dr Boniface Igbeneghu reportedly involved in the sex-for-grades scandal.

It could be recalled that the lecturer at the center of the saga, was exposed in a video by BBC Africa where an undercover journalist, Kiki Mordi, disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker.

The vice-chancellor of the institution, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, confirmed the development saying the lecturer has been place under indefinite suspension.

The church where the Lecturer worships also dissociated itself from the "heinous and unscriptural act" of Igheneghu.

In a statement on Monday by the National Secretary of the church, Rev Ikechukwu Ugbaja, he promised to investigate the allegation and take appropriate sanctions.

Rev. Ikechukwu's statement reads: "The attention of the leadership of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has been drawn to a video clip trending on social media platforms titled, 'Sex for grades: Undercover in West Africa Universities – BBC News' wherein a lecturer at the University of Lagos named Boniface Igbeneghu, also described as a pastor in Foursquare Gospel Church, was allegedly involved in sexual misconduct with some female students of the university.

"The general public is hereby informed that as holiness and Bible-believing church, we do not condone such heinous and unscriptural acts among our ministers.

"We totally dissociate ourselves from the purported conduct of Dr Igbeneghu and promise to take appropriate measures as soon as the ongoing investigation is concluded.

"Meanwhile, the pastor in question has been asked to step down from all ministerial assignments."

FG warns travellers and tourists against Bobrisky

Posted: 08 Oct 2019 07:00 AM PDT


The Federal Government has asked travellers and tourists to be careful wherever they notice the presence of Bobrisky, mostly as it affects sharing of public facilities, including toilets.

The report followed a report received by the Federal Government on how Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, caused a stir at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja when he used a female toilet.

While appealing to the leadership of Nigeria Medical Association to enlighten people on the dangers of women sharing public toilet with Bobrisky, the government said that by using public female toilet, Bobrisky had constituted a serious threat to women.


Otunba Segun Runsewe, Director-General of National Centre for Arts and Culture, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, raised the alarm in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja.

He said, "Bobrisky is a serious health hazard for Nigeria and Nigerians. The health hazard Bobrisky has is worse than Ebola Virus Disease; travellers and tourists should be careful wherever they notice the presence of Bobrisky, mostly as it affects sharing of public facilities.

"Women are prone to get various types of disease from the toilet than sexual intercourse. Now, Bobrisky will enter the same toilet with a woman and at the end the woman will contract some kind of diseases.

"When she gets home and sleeps with her husband and the husband discovers he has been infected, the next thing is to seek for divorce without knowing the actual cause of how the wife was infected."

He added, "In the first place, Bobrisky's passport shows that he is a man. Why should he turn himself to a woman and use women's toilets? At the end of the day, innocent Nigerian women who go to same toilet will now be infected with what they did not bargain for.

"If Bobrisky is even using men's toilet, we can understand. As I speak, we got a report of how a woman was very upset with the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria because on this day she saw Bobrisky using female toilet in Abuja Airport.

"Well, for me, we have done our little bit; we have left everything for the medical practitioners."
