With all twelve housemates in the house, viewers are keenly following the intrigues, drama, excitement that is sure playing out in the next few weeks.

The much anticipated celebrity housemates reality TV show launched in grand style on January 13th, 2018, as twelve contestants from all areas of entertainment – Actors, Comedian, Music stars, beauty queens etc were finally revealed and ushered into the house by show’s host, Keppy Ekpeyong.

Viewers from Nigeria and across the globe have been glued to their TV screen, to avoid missing out in the actions, while comment have continued to be amazing, realizing each contestants fame and fan base.

The Show which is just clocking One Week has been an amazing moment of fun, play, games, riddles and engaging tasks, among other lifestyle activities in the house. The house also witnessed a surprised visit by Nigeria’s number  one comedian, Alibaba

 

It was with evident surprise and excitement that the housemates of the celebrity housemates reality show, received their first guest, in the person of veteran comedian Alibaba.

 

While visiting the housemates, the popular comedian, just like Santa, came with a bag full of goodies. He had everything from the Nigerian delicacy, Bole to fried yam, akara, suya and chinchin, the comedian had everyone covered, further endearing himself to the housemates.

 

Besides edible goods, however, Alibaba came ready to impact knowledge on the housemates. He had something for every genre of the entertainment industry, being a well-established business man in the entertainment industry.

 

Key amongst his lessons was the ability to stay relevant. He advised that artistes and actors to try to connect with the differing demography in the society, so as not to die out. He also shared some business and life knowledge to enable them grow and build successful businesses around their careers.

 

The second speaker, Mr John Onche Shaibu also had his lecture centered on turning your passion into a cash flow. He affirmed that a very important factor in making money is acknowledging that money is good, because anything you love, you attract.

 

According to him, there are two driving forces in life, love and fear. As long as they are channeled into creating something good, they are both good fuels.

 

One of the highpoint of the show this week was the quarrel between some housemates, which led to drama, and some were on the side of their favorite while others also supported their own.

 

The first quarrel was between Junior Pope and Ada Ameh. Their quarrel was based on food matter, when Adah Ameh who happens to be the cook of the day, told her fellow housemates that what they have to eat was swallow and suddenly another housemate, Federick Leonard was given a full plate of rice, and when Junior Pope approached her for his own rice it caused a huge hullabaloo in the house before Junior Pope now finally cooked his rice himself.

 

The second was between Ogenna Ekwubiri and Muma Gee.  This was caused by seniority issues, when Muma Gee accused Ogenna of not respecting her as she was supposed to, and Ogenna gave it back to her by reminding her that the house is not a house of claiming respect, but it’s a reality show where everybody are equal  and no one is superior to another.

And there was another quarrel between Rugged Man and leonard Federick when Federick  was having issues with his lapel mic, and Rugged man offered to assist but it later turned to quarrel, as some of the housemates felt there must have been something wrong with both of them which is not known to other members.

 

Another highpoint of this week is when Muma Gee gave a glorious kiss to Alibaba.

Muma does it once more. Just after the overly dramatic pop star kissed a fan on stage during the just concluded One Lagos Fiesta, she has proffered her lips to veteran comedian, Alibaba as some form of greeting.

The comedian who visited the house to share of his well of knowledge with the housemates and offer some moral support had simply been trying to hug the artiste. She, however, declined the hug with a hand gesture, proffering her lips which he accepted.

 

This week also witnessed another election time, when the housemates are to choose another house captain for the house after the reign of Rugged Man.

The two days of Ruggedman’s rule have come to an end. As such, it has become necessary to carry out another election for a new captain. Funky Mallam was once again nominated alongside Yomi Fash Lanso.

Unfortunately, it was another floorless defeat for Funky as Yomi Fash Lanso won house captain over him.

The new house captain’s first cause of action was to re-assign duties to the housemates. Rather than arguments though, his comical delegations elicited mirth from his fellow housemates.

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why

Petrol: MRS Slashes Petrol Price to N935/Litre Nationwide, Enforces compliance

… Nigerians praise Dangote-MRS partnership

 

MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, a prominent player in the Nigerian downstream oil industry, has implemented a new petrol price of N935 per litre across all its retail service stations nationwide. This follows an announcement by the President of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has partnered with MRS Oil and Gas to offer petrol at N935 per litre at retail outlets, following a reduction in the ex-depot price from N970 to N899.50 per litre.

In response, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc has instructed all its outlets to implement the new price immediately, setting up a digital platform and monitoring team to ensure full compliance. The company has also called on Nigerians to report any outlets that fail to adhere to the new price structure.

“Petrol is now being sold at N935 at MRS Filling Stations nationwide. If you find any station not following this price, please report it. Call 08009447853 or email: [email protected],” the company stated in a release.

Emphasising the eco-friendly nature of its products, MRS Oil added, *“We call on all petrol station owners to join MRS Oil Nigeria Plc in improving the supply chain of our beloved country, ensuring product quality and availability in every corner of Nigeria for the benefit of all Nigerians.”*

Checks by our correspondents yesterday confirmed that the new price had been implemented at all MRS Oil and Gas retail outlets nationwide.

In Lagos, commuters were seen queuing at MRS filling stations to purchase petrol. Many expressed their gratitude to Dangote Petroleum Refinery and MRS Oil and Gas, urging other marketers to support the indigenous refinery rather than import off-spec products into the country.

Mrs. Ibukun Phillips, a commuter at the MRS station at Alapere on the Lagos Ibadan Express way, could not hide her joy as her husband filled up their car.

“I am very happy today. This is a victory for Nigeria,” she said. “The price reduction is the best gift of the season. But beyond just the reduction, we are buying standard, eco-friendly petrol at a lower rate. My husband and I have decided we will only be using MRS from now on because we are confident in the quality of the product and supporting the economy.”

Commercial bus driver Adio Ajibade described the price reduction as a great relief, especially during the festive season.

“The reduction is a great relief. It will reduce transportation costs and benefit Nigerians. God will continue to bless Alhaji Aliko Dangote,” he said.

A public affairs analyst and university lecturer, Dr. Tunde Akanni, said the collaboration between Dangote Petroleum Refinery and MRS Oil represents a significant step towards improving the affordability, quality, and sustainability of petroleum products in Nigeria.

According to Dr. Akanni, “this move will not only help ease the financial burden on Nigerians but also promote a more environmentally conscious approach to fuel consumption, benefitting both the economy and public health in the long term.”

The newly renovated departure section of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, refurbished by United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, was officially commissioned on Friday, December 20th, 2024.

The laudable project, which marks a transformative moment in Nigeria’s aviation sector, underscores UBA’s unwavering commitment to national development and highlights the immense value of strategic public-private partnerships (PPPs).

The ceremony was graced by distinguished stakeholders, including the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN; the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku; other Directors, and Heads of Agencies operating at the Airport.

Speaking at the event, UBA’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Oliver Alawuba,lauded the collaboration that brought the project to fruition as he emphasised the need for public and private institutions to come together to build and revamp the nation’s assets.

“This renovation is a testament of UBA’s belief in the transformative power of investing in national assets. By modernising our airports, we not only enhance infrastructure but also position Nigeria as a global hub for tourism, trade, and investment,” he stated.

Alawuba took time to highlight the broader economic impact of such initiatives, urging increased private-sector participation in national development. “Public-private partnerships like this demonstrate what can be achieved when we unite for a shared vision of progress and investing in infrastructure catalyses economic growth, improves travel experiences, and creates opportunities across various sectors of the economy,” he added.

Alawuba reflected on the power of unity and collaboration, quoting Helen Keller: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” The commissioning of the renovated departure section serves as a reminder of what strategic partnerships can achieve in driving national development and elevating Nigeria’s global standing.”

While commissioning the project, Keyamo commended UBA for executing the project, a feat he termed a landmark achievement in Nigeria’s aviation sector. “This renovated departure section exemplifies the bank’s commitment to elevating aviation infrastructure, improving passenger experiences, and fostering international partnerships. It is a proud moment for the ministry and all stakeholders involved, and I thank the management of UBA for pioneering this initiative,” he remarked.

The minister highlighted other key achievements of his ministry, including compliance with the Cape Town Convention, the launch of a consumer protection portal, and advancements in major infrastructure projects such as the second runway at Abuja Airport and solar energy integration in airport operations.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive of FAAN, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, commended UBA and other stakeholders for their contributions, adding, “This project reflects FAAN’s dedication to delivering world-class aviation infrastructure. The enhanced departure section not only elevates passenger experiences but also strengthens Nigeria’s competitive position in global aviation,” she said.

She called for more private-sector participation, emphasising that “partnerships like these are essential to transforming the aviation sector into a beacon of excellence.”

The newly renovated departure section boasts cutting-edge facilities designed to enhance efficiency and passenger comfort. This upgrade reaffirms the Murtala Muhammed International Airport’s status as a critical gateway to Nigeria and a major hub for international travel in Africa.
