Always wear bra, pants’ — Biodun Stephen advises ladies after Ibom Air incident

Biodun Stephen, the Nollywood filmmaker, has advised young women to always wear underwear when in public spaces.

Her advice comes in response to a recent viral incident involving a female passenger on an Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos.   

On August 10, videos circulated online showing passenger Comfort Emmanson in a heated altercation with flight attendants and later with airport security.

During the struggle, her breasts were exposed as security personnel forcibly removed her from the plane.

According to Ibom Air, the incident began before takeoff when Emmanson refused to switch off her mobile phone, violating aviation safety rules.

After another passenger turned off her device, she reportedly became enraged. Upon landing in Lagos, she allegedly assaulted a flight attendant.

Emmanson was remanded at Kirikiri Correctional Centre for alleged assault and property damage.

Reacting to the incident, Stephen took to Instagram to emphasise the importance of wearing underwear, especially in situations that could lead to physical altercations.

The filmmaker recalled previously advising young women to wear bras and panties but facing backlash for her stance.

“I do recall few years ago when I did a video that people should stop going without panties. After sometimes, I also warned that people should always deem it fit to wear bra. Some of you said you can do whatever you like with your breast,” she said in a video. 

“Can you all see what has happened now? The girl from the Ibom Airline. She knew she was not wearing bra or panties and she still wanted to fight.

“At least if you want to warfare, you must have the necessary tools of weaponry. Eg. You wear pants and bra. Because that lady wore leggings that day and I believed she did not also wear a pant.

“Did you see her two breasts out? People that were not supposed to see it, they all did. Once you people wear body hugs, you refuse to wear bra.

“… I’m saying it again, wear your bra, wear your pants — so that when the spirit of Hulk Hogan enters you, you’ll be ready for battle.”

MI Abaga claims internet fraudsters fund many Nigerian artistes

Jude ‘MI’ Abaga, the Nigerian rapper, has lamented the prevalence of “internet fraud funding in the country’s music industry”.

In a recent interview on the So Nigerian podcast, MI claimed some artistes rely on proceeds from cybercrime, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo.

The rapper argued that internet fraud has become a major source of investment for up-and-coming artistes.

MI said this shows the lack of proper funding structures for the creative sector.

“There’s a lot of controversy when people talk about Yahoo Yahoo because a lot of artistes, that is the funding that they have,” he said.

“What I’m trying to say is that it’s an indictment on our country that we have such talented musicians and that the major funding for the industry comes from the West and this other industry.

“It’s an indictment. It shows that something is wrong. Hopefully, we can do better. Think about it, let’s even say I’m a Yahoo boy, I’m not, but let’s say I was and I just made N100 million. Okay, I’m now a criminal who made N100 million but still don’t have to give it to an artiste, I can blow it however I want, or I can put it in real estate.

“What I’m trying to say is that, the fact that it goes to artistes and that is one of the major ways that artistes can get investments into them. Like there’s no place else, it happens to be other young people who just happen to have money.

“Society will criticize the method of legal money, but what is relevant is that there are other young people who have money and are just trying to help because they’re seeing their talented friends, and that is a statement about Nigeria.”

Una think say I wan snatch David from his wife? – Ka3na slams critics

Former BBNaija star Ka3na has reacted to backlash over a photoshopped version of Davido and Chioma’s pre-wedding photo, in which she replaced Chioma’s face with hers.

Many Nigerians saw the edit as disrespectful to the couple.

In a detailed response, Ka3na clarified that she has no interest in “snatching” Davido, noting she became a millionaire at 19, married at 22, and a mother at 25.

Describing herself as a virtuous woman, widow, single parent, and businesswoman facing real-life challenges, she urged critics to avoid letting insecurities fuel unfair judgments.

She wrote …

“Millionaire at 19. Wife at 22. Mother at 25. Three decades later… a billionaire with multiple streams of income. So what’s all the noise really about? Abi una think say i wan snatch Mr David from him gorgeous wife? Please, I DO WHITE MEN ONLY! 😉

Normally, I wouldn’t even respond. But because my intentions are genuine, I need to clear the air. I love David and his beautiful wife. Those closest to me know how highly I speak of them. Even @davido knows I support and pray for him from afar.

It’s not just about showing empty love online, do you actually pray for them? How many of you can honestly say you’ve prayed in private for their marriage to succeed, not just dropped fake public love in the comments? I can.

Please understand behind social media, there’s real life. In my world, I’m a virtuous woman who will never wish anyone evil. I’m a widow and a single parent, a businesswoman, with real life struggles, but I still show up here daily or sometimes once in a blue moon to share what I call “a curated collection.”

I pray God softens our hearts so we can laugh at jokes and not let our insecurities make us judge others wrongly. 🤍 Haven’t said these… i will now archive “the post” not because some of you bullied me but because it was meant to be deleted after 24hrs. #Ka3naTheBossLady ✌🏽”

BBNaija Day 17: Playful game turns into frank talk

Biggie’s house exploded with jaw-dropping fiery hidden confessions, and surprising new friendships among housemates.

What started as a casual question-and-answer game as the housemates passed time before this evening’s task kicked off, quickly turned into one of the juiciest nights yet in Biggie’s house. With the housemates gathered in the lounge, the mood shifted from playful banter to eyebrow raising revelations, and no one was safe from the heat.

The rules were simple: answer honestly, no dodging. But as the questions started rolling in, they took a very personal turn. “Who do you have a crush on in the house?” “Who’s your biggest sexual attraction?” “Who would you kiss right now if you could?” the kind of questions that make tensions rise.

Video Here

One of the most eyebrow-raising moments came when Victory was asked about Gigi Jasmine and his recent interest in Sultana. Victory clarified his position, stating that he’s never told Gigi Jasmine he loves her. “I liked her when we first walked into the house”. He further proceeded to mention Gigi Jasmine “isn’t his spec”, and when he was prompted to discuss Sultana, the conversation was shut down and moved along swiftly to the next housemate.

Doris asked Sultana about her part in the Gigi Jasmine and Victory situation. Sultana told the group that Gigi Jasmine is her friend, and Victory is her guy and there was nothing going on. Later, Sultana reassured Gigi Jasmine during a one-on-one in the bedroom. She told her nothing is going on between her and Victory, further explaining that Doris had asked the question to clear the air and let everyone know the truth. “She said I owe her. She wanted everyone to hear the truth from my mouth,” Sultana said.

After the game, Denari pulled Gigi Jasmine aside and told her to stop sharing a bed with Victory and to keep her distance, pointing out that Victory had made his feelings clear. Since then, Gigi Jasmine’s mood has been noticeably low and she’s been quiet, withdrawn, and visibly emotional.

Just when the house thought the drama had peaked, another bombshell dropped. Victory revealed that Jason Jae and Kola had made a bet on Dede. The revelation left the entire house stunned, with whispers and shocked expressions rippling through. Kola appeared surprised by what he was hearing, while Jason Jae didn’t deny it. Dede shook her head in disbelief at the news, having already friendzoned both Kola and Jason Jae.

Meanwhile, an unexpected friendship blossomed between Dede and Joanna this evening. The two were seen laughing and bonding, joking about not taking the guys in the house too seriously. Their playful camaraderie brought a fresh energy and the viewers were here for it.

To cap off an already explosive game, one of the final questions put Rooboy on the spot: who does he like in the house? Without hesitation, he boldly said Thelma Lawson, confirming the growing connection between them. Rooboy has been openly vocal about his attraction to her, and this public admission may have just added fuel to the fire.

When Rooboy asked Mide if she had any personal issues with him after she told him, “You over sabi too much,” Mide set the record straight, saying she had no problem with him, and that he would know without a shadow of a doubt if she did.

Ivatar, on the other hand, was asked who she is interested in getting to know better in the house apart from Mensan. Without batting an eyelash, Ivatar mentioned Kaybobo’s name.

As secrets come to light and new bonds form, the energy in Biggie’s house is electric and unpredictable. With alliances shifting and emotions running high, one can only expect the unexpected in Biggie’s house.

JUST IN: FG appoints K1 De Ultimate as aviation security ambassador after viral Airport drama

The Federal Government has appointed Fuji music legend, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol following the controversy surrounding his conduct at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, announced the decision on Wednesday while outlining resolutions to recent incidents of unruly behaviour at airports.

According to Keyamo, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has reduced the six-month flight ban earlier imposed on the singer to one month, and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will work with him to raise awareness on acceptable behaviour within airport premises.

“The NCAA is to reduce his flight ban to one month. FAAN will also partner with the music star to engage him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward. Having publicly shown remorse, the NCAA will also withdraw its criminal complaints against KWAM 1,” the minister stated.

The move follows appeals from notable individuals and K1 De Ultimate’s public apology over the August 5 incident, during which he was accused of obstructing a ValueJet aircraft’s movement.

The musician stated that the flask he carried on the day contained water for medical purposes, not alcohol as alleged.

Keyamo stressed that the leniency was granted on compassionate grounds but reiterated that the government would continue to strictly enforce safety and security laws in the aviation sector.

The incident involved a heated exchange between K1 De Ultimate, airline staff, and security officials after he reportedly spilled liquid on personnel and walked onto the tarmac, preventing the plane from taxiing.

The NCAA had initially placed him on a no-fly list and filed a criminal case with the police before softening its stance following his apology.

“David Mark is EFCC’s next target after Tambuwal” – ADC cries out

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of plotting to go after its Interim National Chairman and former Senate President, David Mark, alleging that he is the agency’s next target.

In a statement on Tuesday, Acting National Publicity Secretary, Bola Abdullahi, claimed the EFCC had begun “digging up” files from Mark’s tenure as Senate President a decade ago, shortly after detaining former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and summoning former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha.

“The EFCC has now surreptitiously started excavating all the files from David Mark’s tenure as Senate President, 10 years after he left office,”Abdullahi said, describing the timing as suspicious.

He alleged that the investigations are part of a “media trial” strategy aimed at weakening the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.

The ADC further accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of shielding its own members from prosecution despite “fresher and better-documented cases” against them, while reviving old allegations against opposition leaders.

“The pattern of ignoring APC stalwarts with fresher and well-documented cases, while targeting opposition figures with stale allegations, is proof of selective justice and an assault on political freedom,” Abdullahi stated. “Having failed to stop the coalition, the jittery ruling party’s next move is to discredit its leaders by getting the EFCC to accuse them of looting the entire treasuries. These are calculated media trials; it matters little whether there is a basis for these accusations—the game is the circus show.”

BBNaija 10: Sultana Banned From Drinking Alcohol For 1 Week

Big Brother has issued a ban to housemate, Sultana.
This is as Biggie also meted out punishments to several other housemates for violating house rules.
Biggie issued the disciplinary actions on Tuesday for a meeting.
Kulture received a final warning for openly displaying violent behavior.
Big brother banned Sultana from consuming alcohol for one week, including the upcoming Saturday night party.
This punishment stems from her urinating in Dede’s cloth box, a behavior deemed unacceptable by Big Brother.
“Sultana alcohol is not an acceptable excuse. In your drunken state you almost damaged Big Brother’s floor and the property of your fellow housemate. You are hereby banned from consuming alcohol for one week including the parties,” Biggie said.
Biggie also issued a double strike to Bright Morgan for his misconduct towards Faith.
 
“For your conduct, you are hereby issued a double strike, one more strike and you will be disqualified from Big Brother’s house. Do you understand?” Big Brother declared.
Bright Morgan responded, “Yes biggie.”
