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

Wale busari03 mins

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

11 Perish in Kenya Plane Crash

Fola Badmus03 mins

A plane crash killed 11 people, mostly foreign tourists, in Kenya’s coastal region of Kwale early Tuesday while en route to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The airline, Mombasa Air Safari, said in a statement eight Hungarian and two German passengers were onboard, and that the Kenyan pilot was also killed. The plane crashed in a hilly and forested area about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Diani airstrip, authorities said. The airline did not confirm what time the aircraft departed Diani airstrip, saying the pilot failed to communicate upon departure and the airport control tower tried to reach him for 30 minutes before the plane was located. Investigating agencies were looking into the cause of the crash that happened at 05:30 a.m. local time, Kwale County Commissioner Stephen Orinde told The Associated Press. There was heavy rain in coastal Kenya at the time. The aircraft burst into flames, leaving charred wreckage at the scene, officials said. Witnesses told the AP that they heard a loud bang, and upon arriving at the scene, they found unrecognizable human remains. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority had earlier said that 12 people were onboard the Cessna Caravan-type aircraft. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is located west of the coastline and is a two-hour direct flight from Diani, a popular coastal town known for its sandy beaches. The reserve attracts a large number of tourists as it features the annual wildebeest migration from the Serengeti in Tanzania. The Kenyan coastline’s white sand beaches along the Indian Ocean attract tourists from all over the world. According to the most recent safety oversight audit for Kenya posted on the International Civil Aviation Organization website, from 2018, the country fell below the global average in accident investigation.

Gusau Pledges Full support for Beach Soccer League Finals, Supersand Eagles’ Revival

Fola Badmus04 mins

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau MON, has reiterated the federation’s commitment to supporting the upcoming 2025 Nigeria Beach Soccer League (NBSL) Super Finals and the continued revival of the Beach Soccer National Team, Supersand Eagles.   Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Nigeria Beach Soccer League Management led by the National Coordinator Mahmud Hadejia, ahead of the Super League Finals scheduled for 6th – 9th November 2025 at the Jabi Lake Park in Abuja, Gusau emphasized the importance of public support and awareness for the fast-growing sport.   “The key thing is for us to give all the support needed and ensure that we are there for the Super Finals,” Gusau said. “We have to also call on all well-meaning Nigerians, especially football lovers and corporate Nigeria to support the NBSL Finals. Beach soccer is an exciting game for those who have the opportunity to watch it at continental and world level. The last FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was played in Seychelles with some African countries excelling. We want to see Nigeria back at that level.”   He reiterated that the NFF is determined to ensure beach soccer thrives again in Nigeria after years of absence from the international scene. “We thank God that the beach soccer national team is back on the continent, but it was not easy. We have been off for some years and we can only commend the efforts of the players and officials who came close to qualifying for last year’s Beach Soccer AFCON,” he said.   Gusau credited the Nigeria Beach Soccer League for its consistent efforts over the past five years in maintaining a structured domestic competition, which he said provided the foundation for the national team’s return. “Three years ago when we came on board, we decided not to participate at international competitions until we knew the basis for which we were selecting our players. We must have a structure and I am happy that we are progressing. By the grace of God, we will do our best to make sure that we continue moving forward.”   The NBSL Super Finals, relocated to Abuja’s Jabi Lake Park sand arena, will feature top teams battling for the national title, alongside a charity and cancer awareness match involving celebrities, ex-footballers, entertainers, and beach soccer legends.

2026 WAFCON: Super Falcons Edge Amazons, Qualify for Morocco 2026

Fola Badmus04 mins

Champions Nigeria qualified for next year’s Women Africa Cup of Nations after a 1-1 draw with Bénin Republic in the return leg of the final round of the qualification series in Abeokuta on Tuesday, which resulted in an aggregate 3-1 win for the 10-time winners.   The Amazons turned out to be credible fighters at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, as they approached the game with vigour, passion and vibrancy, with the pacy and nimble-footed Dossi Germaine Honfo and Yenido Romaine Gandonou the lead orchestrators.   However, the Super Falcons were calm, collected and confident, and the Amazons’ rearguard had to spiritedly clear their lines after Captain Rasheedat Ajibade freed Asisat Oshoala as the Falcons surged forward in the 8th minute.   Five minutes later, it was no surprise that they got on the scoresheet, when defender Ashley Plumptre nodded firmly into the net from a corner by Esther Okoronkwo.   In the 23rd minute, Oshoala’s firm header from another Okoronkwo corner missed narrowly, and in the 34th minute, Michelle Alozie’s header was a little above the sticks from Oshoala’s cross. There was still time for Okoronkwo to side-net from a free-kick with four minutes left in the first period.   The Amazons began to pour forward in the 56th minute, when Chiamaka Nnadozie saved from Gandonou, and then had to stretch full length to push away a shot from 25 yards by Yolande Gnammi two minutes later.   The game turned into a real contest on the hour, when Yasminath Djibril struck the ball high and above Nnadozie into the net from a free-kick on the left, for the equalizer.   Nigeria had opportunities to increase the tally, with Folashade Ijamilusi missing from close range after goalkeeper Sourakatou Alassane uncharacteristically dropped the ball, and Alassane saved from Ajibade in the 77th minute. Substitute Joy Omewa and Ijamilusi combined in the 90th minute, but Alassane was up to the task.   Qualification means Nigeria have the opportunity to not only defend their title in Morocco next year, but also aim for an 11th title in 14 championships, as well as a ticket to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Brazil.

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

Wale busari04 mins

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

Wale busari03 mins

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

Wale busari02 mins

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.
