I Dated Veekee James – DeeOne Opens Up About Past Romance, Responds to “Unserious” Claim

Wale busari03 mins

Comedian DeeOne has confirmed that he once had a romantic relationship with celebrity fashion designer Veekee James, responding to her recent comments labeling him as “unserious.” Veekee had previously described DeeOne as someone who shouldn’t be taken seriously, prompting him to share his side of the story on Instagram. DeeOne revealed that he and Veekee James were involved back in 2018, shortly after his Big Brother Naija stint. He explained that he values his freedom and does not like being controlled, recalling instances where Veekee would ask him to buy things for her, which he felt was inappropriate. “There’s no bad blood, and it’s not that I didn’t treat her well,” DeeOne said. “Some people in the industry know about this, even her husband Mr. Femi James knows. I just don’t like being controlled or constantly messaged for favors. I’m a boyfriend, not a house help.” Despite the past, DeeOne expressed goodwill toward Veekee and her husband, saying he is a fan of their work and has moved on. He also advised fans not to take celebrity issues personally, noting that some details of the entertainment industry are not widely known. “To be honest, I wish them the best. I’m not a hater and I have moved on,” he added. “But from me, it’s all love. Don’t take all this personally—there are things in the entertainment industry people don’t know about, and the reason I’m saying this is because she’s the one that talks negatively about me.”

Wale busari02 mins

Ecuadorian footballer Mario Pineida has been shot and killed in the port city of Guayaquil, his club confirmed on Wednesday. Pineida, 33, was a member of Ecuador’s national team for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and played for Fluminense in 2022. In a post on X, his club, Barcelona SC, expressed deep sorrow, stating it “regrets to inform, with deep sorrow, that it has been officially notified of the death of our player Mario Pineida, an event that occurred following an attack against him” in Guayaquil. The Interior Ministry also confirmed Pineida’s death and said a special police unit has been assigned to investigate the case. Reports indicate that Pineida was attacked by two individuals on motorcycles, who opened fire on him, his mother, and another woman. Guayaquil has become a hotspot for gang violence linked to drug trafficking, and several footballers in Ecuador have been targeted in recent months. In September, three players from Ecuador’s second division were killed, one reportedly connected to sports betting, while local footballer Bryan Angula was wounded in a shooting a month later.

FIFA Awards Malaysia Three 3-0 Defeats Over Ineligible Players, FAM To Appeal

Wale busari02 mins

FIFA has handed Malaysia a major blow, awarding the nation three 3-0 defeats after it was found to have fielded ineligible players, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) confirmed on Wednesday. Matches previously recorded as friendly wins against Palestine and Singapore, along with a home draw with Cape Verde earlier this year, have all been overturned. The sanctions follow FIFA’s suspension of seven foreign-born Malaysian national team players who submitted falsified documents claiming Malaysian ancestry. FAM, which had already been fined $440,000 in the ongoing scandal, has now been hit with an additional $12,500 penalty. A FIFA disciplinary committee meeting held last Friday declared, “Malaysia is declared to have lost 3-0 in all three matches,” the association said. The investigation began after FIFA received a complaint following Malaysia’s 4-0 victory over Vietnam in June during an Asian Cup qualifier, where two of the implicated players scored. FIFA’s probe found that Hector Hevel, Jon Irazabal, Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, and Joao Brandao Figueiredo did not have a parent or grandparent born in Malaysia, as required for national team eligibility. FAM, however, insists it acted appropriately and confirmed it will appeal the ruling at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Fubara: Rivers State Met N600 Billion In Treasury After Emergency Rule

Wale busari03 mins

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has clarified that Administrator Ibot-Eke Ibas left N600 billion in the state treasury at the end of the six-month emergency rule declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He also noted that his administration had left N300 billion in the account before the emergency rule commenced. The emergency rule was in effect from March 18 to September 18, when it was lifted. Fubara spoke on the state’s finances during the inauguration of the 14.2km Obodhi-Ozochi Road in Ahoada East and Ahoada West, a project initiated by former Governor Nyesom Wike and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. His administration redesigned the road. The governor made the remarks following repeated claims by the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, that Vice Admiral Ibas left N600 billion in the treasury. Addressing the crowd mobilized by his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, Fubara encouraged Amaewhule to translate the support into votes for President Tinubu’s reelection in 2027. Fubara emphasized that his administration has maintained detailed records of all expenditures and promised to release them soon. He stressed that his government would not be linked to fraudulent activities in project execution. “When we left during the emergency rule, our records are there. We left over N300 billion, and when we returned, we met about N600 billion. Every penny spent is documented, and the evidence will be shown in the next six months,” he said. He added: “There is no issue with how we are using the funds or what we met. Nobody can question my integrity. I am not associated with fraudulent acts. The record of your money and how it is being spent is intact. We have strong projects ongoing. Perhaps some believe otherwise because we don’t flag-off projects unnecessarily.” Fubara further explained his administration’s approach to project delivery: “We believe in commissioning projects rather than spending on flag-offs and commissioning separately. We save the money and present completed projects to the people. Call me any day, the records are there.”

Wale busari01 mins

The Federal Government has announced an immediate nationwide ban on the export of wood and related products, revoking all existing licences and permits. The directive was made public on Wednesday by the Minister of Environment, Balarabe Lawal, during the 18th meeting of the National Council on Environment held in Katsina State. Lawal explained that the move, contained in the Presidential Executive Order on the Prohibition of Exportation of Wood and Allied Products, 2025, aims to tackle illegal logging and deforestation across Nigeria. “Nigeria’s forests are vital for environmental sustainability, providing clean air and water, supporting livelihoods, conserving biodiversity, and helping mitigate climate change,” the minister said. He added that continued wood exports threaten these benefits and the long-term health of the environment. The policy mandates security agencies and relevant ministries to enforce a strict nationwide crackdown on illegal logging activities.

Ogun State Suspends Awujale Selection Process Over Procedural Errors

Wale busari05 mins

The Ogun State Government has suspended the ongoing selection process for the vacant stool of the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland. Prof. Fassy Yusuf, Vice Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, confirmed the development in a phone interview on Wednesday. The stool became vacant following the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona in July, who ruled for 65 years and passed away at the age of 91. In a letter dated December 2, 2025, and signed by the Secretary of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area, Oke Adebanjo, the Fusengbuwa Ruling House was instructed to nominate candidates for the next Awujale within 14 days. Acting on the directive, the ruling house began the selection process, which reportedly attracted over 60 princes, and scheduled the screening for Monday, December 15. However, the exercise was halted after the state government called a meeting on Tuesday with representatives of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House and the Awujale Interregnum Administration Committee. The meeting, presided over by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Ganiyu Hamzat, aimed to ensure full compliance with existing chieftaincy laws. Prof. Yusuf explained that the government directed the ruling house to restart the process due to procedural errors that could have led to legal challenges. He emphasized that the intervention was standard practice to ensure adherence to the 2021 Obas and Chiefs Law and the 1957 chieftaincy declaration governing the Awujale stool. “The meeting with the government was to ensure that everything falls in place,” Yusuf said. “We are to strictly follow the provisions of the Obas and Chiefs Law regarding the installation of the Awujale. Very soon, we will receive a fresh letter from the local government to begin the process anew. The earlier letter giving us 14 days has been withdrawn. “The family will review the situation, and we will proceed according to government guidelines. No list of candidates has been submitted to the kingmakers, so there is nothing to worry about.” A senior state government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also confirmed the suspension, stressing that the meeting was intended to correct procedural errors and not to interfere with the ruling house’s autonomy. “The local government acted prematurely in initiating the selection process. It did not follow the procedures outlined in the 2021 Obas and Chiefs Law and the 1957 chieftaincy declaration for the Awujale stool,” the official said. “We have guided all parties on the correct steps to avoid unnecessary litigation. “To properly commence the process, the ruling house must first formally notify the local government of its readiness. The local government will then communicate with the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, which will authorize the selection process. Given that the Awujale’s installation has remained unchanged for 65 years, it is understandable that some officials may be unfamiliar with the procedure.” The government has assured that the restart of the selection process will ensure full compliance with the law and prevent disputes over the installation of the new Awujale.
