BBNAIJA: PRINCESS DEFENDS ‘FAKE’ ACCENTS, BLAMES ON 'TOO MUCH TV’.

   
Brother Naija evictee, Princess, sees things differently.
Princess, who was paired with Bitto, was sent home from the show during Sunday’s live eviction show.

In a subsequent interview on Africa Magic, she addressed the criticisms that her accents were fake.

She said: “I wasn’t speaking different accents, I just go back and forth a lot. And if anyone knows that when you go back and forth, it goes up and down.

“So that’s not my fault, I’ve probably watched too much TV, I don’t know, But then, I speak fluent English, fluent pidgin, fluent Igbo. I’m a true Nigerian.”

The reality TV star lamented being evicted after only three weeks on the show, saying, “I didn’t think I would be out this soon”.

Princess said her personality on the show was a true reflection of who she is.

“I did bring plenty wahala. I was a straight up straight shooter. I never hid my feelings when someone tried to upset me, I was also a goofy person. I was always joking around as well. I was just me,” she said.

“That pairing f****d me the hell up. Sorry, language. But then again, that’s what just I feel. I mean, I was caught off guard being that I didn’t know the purpose of the pairing.”

Six contestants have been kicked off the BBNaija show; four were evicted and two got disqualified.

PRESIDENT BUHARI DISAGREES WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL MALAMI, ORDERS EFCC TO ENSURE PROSECUTION OF DIEZANI, ADOKE, OTHERS INVOLVED IN MALABU SCAM  

We brought you a report earlier that President Muhammadu Buhari issued a query to the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu over the corruption charges filed against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Yakubu Umar.

A copy of the query to Magu and another letter written to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Festus Keyamo, was made public to journalist. In the said query, dated February 16, 2018 and with Reference No DPP/ADV:368/15, Magu was ordered to make his response to the query available to the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Minister of Justice on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018. 

In the query letter which was signed by Mr. Dayo Apata, the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Magu was asked to explain what informed the filing of corruption charges against the tribunal chairman having being cleared of corruption allegation two times by the commission.

The query letter Titled, “FG VS Danladi Umar (CR/109/18) request for Briefing,” read in part: “The attention of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was drawn to news report that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court.


However, in a fresh twist, president Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to ensure that those involved in the Malabu OPL 245 scam are made to face prosecution. Named in the saga are Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke, Attorney-General of the Federation under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, and Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, a former Minister of Petroleum Resources. Former President Goodluck Jonathan was also named in the scam by investigators in Italy and the UK.President Muhammadu Buhari

The President's directive is in sharp disagreement with the  Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, who had written to the President asking that those involved in the scam be freed from prosecution. Mr. Malami, among other reasons, had based his position on a claim that the Official Secrets Act protects the affected officials from being prosecuted for actions taken while in office.

But in strongly worded counter-memo to the President, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, Acting EFCC Chairman, debunked Mr. Malami's position. On January 18 , President Buhari sent a memo to the EFCC through the office of the Chief of Staff directing the agency to continue working to get those involved in the scam prosecuted.

An earlier memo sent to President Buhari by the EFCC updated him on the progress being made in many jurisdictions to ensure that oil companies involved in the scam are punished.                              

The memo, exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, cited the indictment of officials of Royal Dutch Shell and ENI in Italy, as well as ongoing litigations in the UK, which have already resulted in the repatriation of some of the funds, laundered through the scam to Nigeria.

The memo to the EFCC represents a big blow to Mr. Malami’s attempts at colluding with perpetrators of the scam.

BBNAIJA: VIDEO OF AHNEEKA MASTURBATING CAUSES WOWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA


Big brother Naija 2018 housemate, Ahneeka on Sunday night caused controversy on social media.

This is as a result of a short video where she was allegedly masturbating after light outs.

In the video, she was seen touching herself.

However, some Nigerians are of the opinion that she was masturbating due to lack of sex, while others argued that her private part was itching her as she was asleep.

FEDERAL GOVT QUERIES EFCC BOSS, Magu


President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has issued a query to the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu over the corruption charges filed against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Yakubu Umar.

A copy of the query to Magu and another letter written to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Festus Keyamo, was made public to journalist.

In the query dated February 16, 2018 and with Reference No DPP/ADV:368/15, Magu was ordered to make his response to the query available to the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Minister of Justice on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018.

Signed by Mr. Dayo Apata, the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Magu was asked to explain what informed the filing of corruption charges against the tribunal chairman having being cleared of corruption allegation two times by the commission.

Titled, “FR VS Danladi Umar (CR/109/18) request for Briefing,” the query read in part: “The attention of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was drawn to news report that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court.

“I am directed by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation to seek clarification from you as to whether the charges were filed on your instruction or directive and if in the affirmative, what is the compelling basis for doing so. This clarification becomes imperative in view of the following background facts.

“The Commission’s investigation report dated 5th March 2015 addressed to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation stated as follows: “The facts as they are now against Justice Umar raised a mere suspicion and will therefore not be sufficient to successfully prosecute for the defence.

“The Commission’s position in paragraph 2(a) above was also maintained and sustained by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation while appearing before the House of Representatives’ Investigative Committee sometimes in 2015 to the effect that report of investigations showed that the allegations against Hon. Justice Danladi Umar were based on mere suspicions.

“In view of the foregoing, the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation requests for your prompt briefing as to the existence of new facts which are contrary to the position in your attached investigation report, sufficient evidence or other developments upon which the prosecution of Hon. Justice Danladi can be successfully based.

“Kindly accord this letter top priority while your prompt response within 48 hours from the receipt of same is required in the circumstances.”

In the same vein, Keyamo was requested by the AGF to confirm who authorise him to file the corruption charge against Umar.

Like Magu, the SAN was given till Tuesday February 20, 2018 to furnish the Office of the AGF in writing detail of who engaged or issued him with authority to file the corruption charges.

The letter to Keyamo with reference No DPP/ADV:369/15 dated February 16, 2018, which was also signed by the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Sectary read in part:

“The attention of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was drawn to news report that you have filed charges of corruption against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Justice Danladi Umar, before the FCT High Court.

“The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation hereby requests that you kindly furnish this office with the details of the instruction or authorization upon which you instituted the case under reference. Kindly accord this letter top priority while your prompt response on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018 is solicited in this regard.”

Although the EFCC in two separate letters to the Federal Government through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation had in 2015 and 2016 cleared Umar of any wrongdoing in the alleged N10 million bribery allegation made against him by a defendant, Rasheed Taiwo Owolabi standing trial before him on false asset declaration.

Upon receipt of the petition from Owolaabi, the EFCC had investigated the petition and sent its report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) with a Reference No EFCC/EC/SGF/03/56 dated March 5, 2015, personally signed by the then Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde exonerating the CCT boss from the bribery saga.

The EFCC report received by the office of SGF on March 6, 2015 was categorical that “the facts as they are against Justice Umar raised a mere suspicion and will therefore not be sufficient to successfully prosecute for the offence.”

Other EFCC documents show that in 2016 a fresh investigation was conducted into the same N10million bribery allegation and the same anti-graft agency in its second report absolved Umar of any wrongdoing and that the bribery allegation against him remain a mere suspicion.

The EFCC second report with reference EFCC/P/HRU/688/V30/99 dated April 20, 2016 and submitted to the SGF and signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo, read in part: “Kindly recall our correspondence of March 5 2015 with Reference EFCC/EC/SGF/03/56 with above subject caption. We will like to reiterate the Commission’s position in regard to this matter as earlier communicated to you and state that the allegation levelled against Justice Umar were merely suspicions and consequently insufficient to prosecute the offence.”

ANOTHER TRIGGER-HAPPY POLICEMAN SHOOTS CAB DRIVER DEAD IN PORT HARCOURT.


Chaos has erupted in Rumuokoro roundabout in Obio-Akpor Local government area of Rivers State following the killing of a taxi driver by a trigger-happy policeman.

The Policeman attached to a detachment of officers escorting a Petrol Tanker reportedly shot dead the unnamed driver for obstructing their movement.

It was gathered that passengers were in the cab when the unfortunate incident occurred but none of the passengers was injured.

Eyewitnesses say the cab drivers plying the Rumuokoro axis and motor-park touts regrouped immediately after the incident.

Other commercial drivers and motor park touts responded by blocking all roads connecting Rumuokoro roundabout and threatening to unleash violence.

One of the eyewitnesses say the touts stopped Police officers reinforced from Rumuokoro Divisional Police Station from evacuating the body of the slain driver.

Another eyewitness said the touts started attacking everyone perceived to be from Northern Nigeria because they perceived that the trigger happy officer is a Northerner.

“After they have stopped the police from carrying the lifeless body of the driver, those touts started attacking ‘Aboki’ people that are pushing wheelbarrows. That was why SARS people came to stop them because they had started destroying Aboki shops too,” he said.

The development prompted more police reinforcement from the Anti Kidnapping Unit and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad to quell possible breakdown of law and order in the area.

The Rivers State Police Command is yet to respond to the unfortunate incident.
