Disqualified BBNaija Star Faith Receives N38 Million Innoson Car Despite Online Backlash

Former Big Brother Naija contestant, Faith, has officially received the N38 million Innoson vehicle he won during the show, despite being disqualified days before the season’s finale. Faith, who was sent packing on October 2 following a heated altercation with fellow housemate Sultana, was confirmed by the show’s organisers to still be eligible for all prizes he won prior to his disqualification. A video posted on TikTok by Obum Osigwe, the General Manager of Sales Operations at Innoson Vehicles, captured the 25-year-old inspecting his brand-new electric car with excitement. The clip, captioned “Faith finally picks up his Innoson vehicle. Congratulations,” showed him testing the vehicle and curiously asking about its battery status before spotting the dashboard display. The development puts to rest weeks of online debate, as many viewers doubted whether Faith would still receive his prize, especially since this season’s winner, Imisi, got her car immediately after the show ended on October 5. Faith’s fanbase, known as “The Faithful,” flooded social media with celebratory posts. One supporter, @chachajoe, wrote, “So happy for him. Despite all the talk, he finally got his car. Congratulations Faith!” Another fan, @chiomachin96837, added, “We’ve collected it! My baby keeps winning!” The car delivery also silenced critics who had mocked Faith for previously calling the Innoson car “lil,” proving that the controversy did not affect his entitlement. Faith’s prize collection confirms that disqualified or evicted housemates in Big Brother Naija remain entitled to rewards earned before their exit, regardless of public criticism or show-related drama. Faith finally got his Innoson car… Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽🥳#BBNaija #BBNaijaS10 pic.twitter.com/zqwODGGFtt — Glitz Journal (@glitz__journal) October 28, 2025

2Baba Marks 25 Years In Music, Reflects On Journey With Heartfelt Message Of Gratitude

2Baba Marks 25 Years In Music, Reflects On Journey With Heartfelt Message Of Gratitude

Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, is celebrating 25 years in the music industry, marking the milestone with an emotional open letter of gratitude shared on his social media pages. Titled “Open Letter of Gratitude 2Baba @ 25 Years in the Industry,” the heartfelt note reflects on his journey, the people who helped shape his success, and the lessons he has learned along the way. “As I stand on the threshold of 25 years in this incredible journey called music, my heart is full of gratitude, memories, lessons, and love. This celebration is not mine alone. It belongs to everyone who played a role in shaping the story of Innocent Idibia, 2Baba,” he wrote. 2Baba went on to acknowledge key figures who contributed to his rise, including Nelson Brown, Kenny Ogungbe (Baba Keke), Dayo Adeneye (D1), Eddie Lawani, and DJ Jimmy Jatt. He credited Nelson Brown for discovering and believing in the Plantashun Boiz — the legendary trio made up of 2Baba, Faze, and Blackface — giving them their first platform when no one else did. “You were the first to see light in the dream of three young men when no one else believed. You gave us a voice when we barely had a microphone, a space when all we had was a dream,” he said. 2Baba also appreciated Baba Keke and D1 for mentoring him and opening professional doors that shaped not just his career but also the Nigerian music industry. “You opened doors that led us from dreams to destiny. We made history together, we won together. You stood as mentors and big brothers, and your names will forever be etched in my story,” he wrote. The veteran singer also thanked Eddie Lawani for giving Plantashun Boiz opportunities to perform when stages were limited, praising his consistent belief in their talent. He equally expressed deep gratitude to DJ Jimmy Jatt, calling him a brother and longtime supporter who stood by him through the highs and lows of his journey. 2Baba concluded his letter by emphasizing that the anniversary is not just about his personal success but also a celebration of everyone who has played a part in the rise of Nigerian music on the global stage. “Without the people who believed, corrected, and supported me, my story would have been incomplete,” he wrote.

Netanyahu Orders Heavy Strikes On Gaza After Hamas Accused Of Violating Ceasefire

Netanyahu Orders Heavy Strikes On Gaza After Hamas Accused Of Violating Ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to launch intense strikes on the Gaza Strip after accusing Hamas of breaching the US-brokered ceasefire. In a statement from his office on Tuesday, Netanyahu said the order followed security consultations, instructing the military to “immediately carry out powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip.” No further details were provided. The directive came shortly after Hamas announced it was delaying the handover of another hostage’s remains, alleging that Israel had violated the terms of the truce. The group warned that any further Israeli escalation would interfere with efforts to locate and recover more bodies. “We will postpone the handover that was scheduled for today due to the occupation’s violations,” Hamas’s armed wing said, claiming that any aggression would hinder recovery operations. The renewed tension erupted after Hamas on Monday returned what it said was the 16th of 28 hostage bodies agreed to be handed over under the October 10 ceasefire. But Israeli officials later discovered that the remains were partial fragments of Ofir Tzarfati, a hostage whose body had already been recovered from Gaza two years earlier. Netanyahu’s office denounced the act as a “clear violation of the agreement,” accusing Hamas of deliberate deceit. Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian claimed that Hamas staged the handover, saying the group “dug a hole, placed the partial remains of Ofir inside, covered it back up, and handed it to the Red Cross.” She stressed that Israel’s response would be made “in full coordination with US President Donald Trump and his team.” Meanwhile, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum urged the government to act firmly, calling Hamas’s actions a deliberate provocation. “In light of Hamas’s severe breach of the agreement, the Israeli government cannot and must not ignore this,” the group said. “It must act decisively against these violations to protect the integrity of the ceasefire and ensure justice for the hostages.”

Garba Muhammad Raises Alarm Over Terrorist Threats To Bomb National Assembly Complex

Garba Muhammad Raises Alarm Over Terrorist Threats To Bomb National Assembly Complex

Chairman of the House Committee on Internal Security, Garba Muhammad, has disclosed that the National Assembly has received terrorist threats to bomb the complex. Speaking during a public hearing on a bill to establish the Legislative Security Directorate, aimed at enhancing safety for lawmakers, staff, and visitors, the lawmaker warned that the situation demands urgent action. Garba explained that the National Assembly has been dealing with rising security challenges, including vehicle theft, vandalism, fake identification cards, and infiltration by unauthorized individuals. He referenced a similar incident in May 2021, when security agencies warned of a planned Boko Haram attack on the National Assembly and other strategic government locations in Abuja. That alert led to restricted access to the complex and calls for stronger protection of national assets. Garba stressed the need for immediate fortification of the legislative complex, warning that any security breach could disrupt Nigeria’s democratic process. “We have received threats from terrorists to bomb the National Assembly Complex and threats from protesters to lock up the National Assembly. Legislators are exposed to threats from constituents and others who gain easy access to their offices without formal appointments. “It is clear that with the prevailing security challenges, failure to act decisively could halt legislative operations. If that happens, there will be no representation, no oversight, no annual budget, no plenary — and that would destabilize democracy and the entire system,” he said.

Elon Musk Unveils Grokipedia, Aims To Challenge Wikipedia With ‘Truth-Based’ Alternative

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has unveiled Grokipedia, a new online encyclopedia created to challenge Wikipedia, which Musk has repeatedly accused of promoting ideological bias. Launched on Monday, the debut version—tagged 0.1—already contained more than 885,000 articles by evening. While that’s far fewer than Wikipedia’s over seven million English entries, Musk touted Grokipedia as a more truthful alternative. He revealed that an upgraded version, Grokipedia 1.0, is on the way and promised it would be “10X better” than the current version, which he claimed is already “better than Wikipedia.” “The goal of Grok and Grokipedia.com is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We will never be perfect, but we shall nonetheless strive towards that goal,” Musk wrote on X following the launch. According to him, the release had been delayed from its initial September date to “purge out the propaganda,” emphasizing his vision of building a fact-driven, bias-free knowledge platform.

Popular blogger Tosin Silverdam has claimed that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels did not actually buy the house she recently flaunted online, calling the move a case of social media showoff. Weeks after reports emerged that Regina had left her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, following a marital dispute, she shared photos of a new home, attracting congratulatory messages from fans. Her brother, Sammy West, also appeared to throw shade at Ned after the post. However, Tosin Silverdam dismissed the claim in a new video, alleging that the house wasn’t truly hers but an attempt to seek validation and appear happy online. He also claimed that Regina’s children remain with Ned, suggesting that despite appearances, she hasn’t really left her husband. “She no buy house.

Her children are still with the husband, that’s another sad part. Can she live without her children? She’s trying to prove she can leave without her husband. They no dey leave Ned Nwoko, you just have to stay there. It will be very difficult.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Instablog9ja (@instablog9ja)

I’m walking in peace, guided by God’s grace. My energy belongs to my 4-month-old son, not to negativity.” She added: “When love runs that deep, you stop seeing the man and start seeing the boy who just wanted to be loved – and that’s what breaks you. I didn’t just love, I understood – the pain, the innocence, the child in him.” Rada concluded: “With that said, I take full accountability for staying in the circus too long. His type was never me because I’m a real woman. This is what happens when you hold a man down 100%.”
