I Acted Irresponsibly – VeryDarkMan Apologises Over In-Flight Fight

Social media personality, Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to the public following his in-flight clash with comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, better known as Mr Jollof, which caused delays on a United Nigeria Airlines flight.

Recall that the altercation happened on a flight from Asaba to Lagos, where both men were captured on video engaging in a physical confrontation as passengers attempted to separate them.

Apologising in a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, VeryDarkMan said he takes full responsibility for the disruption, admitting the incident was unnecessary.

“I would really like to apologise for what happened yesterday on the United Nigerian Airlines. What happened yesterday was not supposed to happen, and I will take full responsibility for it.

“A lot of people on that flight had important things to do, but because of that little irresponsibility from my end, their flight was delayed. Some people might have had medical emergencies, and some had business contracts to sign. I don’t know what that little delay would have cost them, and I really want to apologise,” he added.

“Looking back at what happened yesterday, I really didn’t like that part. Even though some people saw everything as a cruise on social media, I acted irresponsibly,” he said.

He, therefore assured Nigerians that such behaviour would not occur in public spaces again.

Hackers Infiltrate The Phones Of Dangote And Otedola, Demand Ransom

Tension has spread across the business circles of Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola following reports that hackers gained access to the mobile phones of the two prominent businessmen.

Sources close to both men confirmed to TheCable that their phones were compromised within the past week, with the intruders making direct financial demands.

While the phone of Otedola, Chairman of FirstHoldCo Plc, was breached once, Africa’s richest man, Dangote, suffered two separate hacks in just 48 hours.

Although it remains unclear whether the business moguls have regained full control of their devices, insiders say the attackers wasted no time in demanding ransom.

“The hackers are asking for money from both men,” a source familiar with the situation told TheCable.

The nature of the demands, the extent of the data compromised, or whether law enforcement has been alerted is yet to be confirmed as of press time.

Dangote and Otedola, who often refer to each other as “brothers,” have maintained a decades-long friendship and business association.

Otedola recently attended an event where Dangote announced plans to scale up his refinery’s capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million bpd.

Praising Dangote’s ambition, Otedola described him as “Africa’s pride,” noting that the refinery project would shape future generations.

Otedola said, “Aliko’s relentless commitment to investing in Nigeria and Africa will outlive him as these are legacy investments that will define generations.

“Soon, Nigerians will own part of this refinery, a powerful reminder that this vision is not just for Dangote, but for all Nigerians and Africans.”

I Don’t Want Regina Daniels Back To My House – Ned Nwoko Declares

Senator Ned Nwoko, the Nigerian lawmaker representing Delta North at the National Assembly, has refuted the claims that he is seeking to reconcile with his estranged wife cum Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels.

This comes after Regina claimed that Nwoko was sending his family to plead for reconciliation while continuously calling her out online.

Regina Daniels’ claim was also corroborated by a post made by her colleague, Doris Ogala, on her Instagram page.

However, Ned Nwoko, in a statement through his communication lead, dismissed claims of chatting with Regina, insisting that he does not want her back in his house.

Nwoko also claimed that Regina’s allegations of drugs and sex against him are false and can never be substantiated.

The Senator attributed Regina Daniels’ series of social media posts to the continuous influence of hard drugs.

According to him, his last WhatsApp conversation with the movie star contains his expression of frustration and ultimatum of return to rehabilitation or he will no longer fund her lifestyle.

However, Regina, after the message, became violent and berserk, destroying cars and properties.

Nwoko also referenced a video Regina posted online, which captured him using the bathroom, stressing that he was shocked the clip was posted on social media.

The Senator added that Regina was doing well with her rehabilitation until her birthday, when she engaged in hard drugs with her friends for four days.

A Pig Will Forever Remain A Pig – Fayose’s Brother Blasts Him For Insulting Obasanjo

Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has criticized him for his verbal assault on former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

626Blaze had earlier reported that the former governor had sent a blistering message to the former president, accusing him of being “irresponsible” and claiming he “belongs in the zoo.”

The message, which was made public by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, accused the former president of losing his sanity and suffering from “heightened dementia.”

In the SMS, Fayose wrote: “Someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that’s where you belong.”

He also demanded the return of money he claimed Obasanjo had acknowledged receiving, adding that he chose not to reply at the birthday venue so the public could “see the difference between a sane and a mad man.”

Obasanjo, in a brief and sharp response, thanked Fayose for the message, saying it revealed “who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable.”

Reacting to the spat between the duo, Isaac openly condemned his brother, describing him as “a pig who will forever remain a pig.”

Speaking via his Instagram account, he wrote, “A pig will forever remain a pig irrespective of the garlands you dress him in.”

He accompanied the post with the press statement in which his elder brother harshly criticised Obasanjo.

Fuel Price Reduction: Dangote Refinery, Petrol Marketers Clash Over Reason For Drop

Dangote Refinery and Nigerian petroleum product marketers are at odds over the cause of the recent drop in petrol prices in the country.

Daily Post reports that Nigerian filling stations dropped fuel prices in Abuja to between N940 and N945 per litre, down from N945 and N955.

The drop in petrol price came at a time the federal government announced the suspension of its planned 15 per cent import duty on petrol and diesel to encourage local production.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Post, the spokesperson of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, linked the latest PMS price drop to the policy reversal.

He explained that that proposed 15 per cent import tariff would have led to indirect inflation and an increase in petroleum pump prices.

According to him, the 15 per cent import duty on petrol is an affront against the forces of demand and supply in a deregulated petroleum downstream sector.

“You understand me that if the 15 per cent import duty on petrol and diesel was implemented, that is an indirect inflation, an increase in pump price on petroleum products.

“There is no way in a deregulated economy where you will not allow the forces of demand and supply to control the market.

“So now that the federal government had looked deeply at the 15 per cent tariff, it was suspended for the reason that this was going to kind of trigger inflation.

“So, we, the independent marketers, are happy that our voices were heard.

“And this will also make the competition healthier and ensure the total compliance of the PIA.

“That is why you see the prices going down.

“And it will go down more because the crude oil in the international market is going down,” he told Daily Post.

However, Dangote Refinery, in a statement released on its X account, attributed the recent petrol price drop to its gantry price cut this month.

The 650,000 barrel-per-day refinery clarified that the reduction in petrol is not linked to the suspension of the 15 per cent import duty.

Daily Post reports that the 15 per cent import tariff would have placed Dangote Refinery at an advantageous position in the market at the expense of higher petrol prices for Nigerians.
