Jaypee And Lukay Get Evicted From The House #BBTitans

Published

Jaypee And Lukay

They came in alone but left together: this week’s evictees from the Big Brother Titans house were Jaypee and Lukay, team name Jaykay, whose journey came to an end three weeks into the game. That leaves 20 housemates in the running for the grand prize of US$100,000. To quote co-host Lawrence Maleka: “Housemates are playing a game… and only one can win.”

Surviving eviction this week were nominees Khosi & Miracle OP (Khosicle), Nana & Thabang (Thabana), Marvin &Yaya (Maya), and Blaqboi & Ipeleng (Blaqleng) – who went from Head of House to knocking on eviction’s door.

After being shown who had put her up for eviction, Jaypee said to Lawrence: “The only one I am surprised by is Nelisa. But I nominated [her] before, so I guess it’s karma.”

Lukay, the other half of Jaykay, was upbeat upon eviction, telling co-host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu: “There’s a silver lining to everything in life. To be taken out this early in the game means that I’m a challenge and a threat.”

This week was a relatively calm one compared to the one before. For their wager, the housemates put on a cooking show, Titan Food Experience, which impressed Biggie enough for them to nab their second win in a row.

The icing on top of the good vibes cake was the much-loved and always-trending Saturday night party, this time officiated by the legendary DJ Tira. This week’s HoH were Blue Aiva & Kanaga Jnr (Kaniva), with the former beefing with fellow housemate Nelisa. When asked about that by Ebuka, Blue Aiva said: “I feel like she’s an instigator.”

There was also tension between Marvin and Kanaga Jnr this past week, with Marvin upset that ‘his boy’ Kanaga Jnr had nominated him for eviction. When quizzed by Ebuka during the show, Marvin said his pain stemmed from the “big connection” he felt the two had.

What did Kanaga Jnr have to say for himself? He nonchalantly told Ebuka: “My reasons are coming from a personal angle, and I will not be able to share that.”

As Lawrence said at the beginning of the live eviction show: “It’s been three weeks of gossip, conspiring, betrayal and drama.” He’s right. So, what does the next week have in store for us? There’s only one way to know. Ziyakhala wahala!

Group demands end to Naira floatation, reversal of fuel subsidy removal

Published

Naira floatation

A civil society organisation, The Osun Masterminds, TOM, has urged President Bola Tinubu to end the floatation of the Naira and revert to a Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, guided pricing that will be devoid of corruption and the sharp practices that characterised the apex bank under Godwin Emefiele. TOM also demanded a return of subsidy on petrol until a time in the future, when proper structures have been put in place to manage the consequences of total deregulation.

These demands formed part of the address of TOM’s September State of the State address on Saturday.Delivering these demands, the Executive Director of TOM, Prof Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli added that the Federal Government should “put more resources into strategic subsidies for common Nigerians instead of sharing more money to the States, which end up financing the reckless lifestyle of many of the Governors”.

The group held that before the removal of fuel subsidy on May 29, 2023, the government was expected to follow up with several proactive measures that will keep the possible implications in check.

“Part of the implications that we foresaw, was rising costs of commodities, due to rising costs of transportation, occasioned by rising costs of petrol. We expected that policies that would counteract these fall-outs would hastily be implemented, to protect Nigerians from the hardship we experience today.

“To make matters worse, the Federal Government, through the Central Bank of Nigeria, also decided to float the Naira, leaving it to the whims and caprices of market manipulators, speculators, and hawks. While a market-driven pricing of the Naira would be ideal, the peculiarities of our character as Nigerians, soon negated whatever possible good outcomes we could get.

“The Foreign Exchange rate dealt a huge blow on the common man, because Nigeria has remained as export dependent as it always was before the floating of the Naira.

“In fact, we dare say that Nigeria’s export dependence has worsened when we compare a 2.4% annual population growth, with a meagre 1.8% Agriculture value growth. This would simply mean that our numbers are increasing faster than our capacity to feed ourselves. This is a reality we are sure the Federal Government is aware of.

“Another fact that underscores the direct effect of the Foreign Exchange rate on the average Nigerian, is our heavy dependence on the warring states of Russia and Ukraine, for two major agricultural value chain inputs, that is Fertilizer, and Wheat.

“So, while we continue to depend more on the rest of the world to feed us, foreign exchange rates spiraled out of control with currency depreciation increasing import costs, while transportation costs locally, completed the pummeling of Nigerians and our economy,” the group added.

Lady Gaga

American singer, Lady Gaga has revealed why she chose to ignore rumours that she’s a transgender. Speaking in an interview with Variety, Gaga disclosed that she chose not to address the rumours because she didn’t want to make being transgender seem shameful.

“I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie and I thought: What about a kid who is being accused of that who would think that a public figure like me would feel shame?
I’ve been in situations where fixing a rumour was not in the best interest and the well-being of other people,” she explained.  Lady Gaga recently announced her engagement to her French boyfriend, Michael Polansky.

“The reason I didn’t answer the question was because I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie,” Gaga told Gates in his new series as she made her way to the OTT stage. “But I thought about, what about a kid that’s being accused of that, that would think that a public figure like me would feel shame,” she continued.

The pop star recalled times when she was plagued by such claims and frequently questioned in press conferences about doctored pictures on the internet and rumours that she was a man. In 2011, she told CNN, “Why the hell am I going to waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a penis? My fans don’t care and neither do I.

Jim Iyke

Famous Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has expressed comfort with public perceptions about him. The actor in a recent Instagram post on his page, noted that he will not compromise his principles, even if it means being misunderstood.

Jim Iyke

Jim Iyke explained that his decision to stand by his values has helped him shape his career. I have grown extremely comfortable being the villain in some people’s stories. Many times, the lines between wrong and right blur in these narratives. I am happy as always to dispense with my side of it. My recourse is to distance myself from the grandstanding and theatrics.

“Sometimes, I am quick to build a wall before compromising my ideologies and principles. It is what forged who I am. It’s what inspires what I am to become.

Jim Iyke

“One thing is certain: you must trust people to be who they are. The moon will turn red before I’m who I am not. I am light to many. Others, I am what their insecurities amplify. I’m hated for it. I’m loved for it.”
