BBNaija All Stars: I Would’ve Joined If Ebuka Was Competing – Diana Edobor Says

Diana Edobor, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, explained that she will not participate in the All Star edition of the reality TV show this month.

She said the only condition she would return to the Big Brother House was if BBN S1 housemate and host of the subsequent editions, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, was also competing for the N120 million cash prize.

The reality star made this known via her official Twitter handle on Friday.

Diana tweeted, “As you can all see now I am not part of BBNaija All Stars so stop asking me oooh.

“The only thing that could have brought me back into the house is if @Ebuka would have been inside.”

Recall that organisers of the Big Brother Naija reality show have announced Ebuka as the host of Season 8, tagged “Big Brother Naija All Stars.”

The All Stars season will include only selected former housemates from Pepper Dem, Double Wahala, and See Gobe editions. Ebuka is not in the category.

New Cat: It’s Good Many People Think I’m New In Music Industry – Burna Boy Says (Video)

Damini Ogulu, the Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, famously known as Burna Boy, has explained that he is not bothered by being labeled a ‘new cat’ in the music industry.

He said he is not bothered by the misconception that he is new in the music industry despite releasing his debut album a decade ago.

Recall that Davido last month sparked a debate after classing Burna Boy under “new cats” alongside Rema, Asake, Fireboy DML etc.

Many berated the DMW head honcho for underrating Burna Boy.

However, in a recent chat with Apple Music’s Ebro, Burna Boy said it is a good thing some people think he is new in the industry, stressing that it makes him feel younger and want to do more.

He said, “It is a good thing that people think my movement is new. I love that. Because it keeps me young. It means like, I can do so much more, you know. It stretches my life span.

“I’m living longer than I thought I would than I even planned to, you know.”

The ‘Last Last’ crooner said he has always known that he would be great.

Burna Boy added that he does all kinds of music because he is “trying to make the world understand that music is bigger than a genre. I feel blessed that I can do different genres. It would have been a waste if I had restricted myself to a genre.”

WAEC Fails To Present Governor Dapo Abiodun’s Certificate At Tribunal

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) failed to present the 1978 certificate of the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, at the State Election Petition Tribunal on Thursday.

The tribunal, which is based in Abeokuta, the state capital, had requested the document.

The request was made following a challenge by People’s Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Ladi Adebutu, to Governor Dapo Abiodun’s March 18 election victory.

Adebutu alleged that Abiodun forged his WAEC certificate.

In his petition, Adebutu claimed that Abiodun presented a falsified 1978 WAEC School Certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in July 2022.

Adebutu further mentioned that despite contacting WAEC to validate the certificate, no response had been received.

On Thursday, WAEC official, Olufemi Olaleye, appeared before the tribunal but didn’t have the disputed certificate.

Olaleye also couldn’t confirm whether Abiodun took the examination.

Olaleye, however, presented a copy of the subpoena issued to WAEC and told the tribunal that the council doesn’t keep duplicates of collected certificates.

To verify if someone has taken an examination, the original certificate would need to be sent to WAEC for verification.

When asked outside the court for further details about the certificate’s absence, Olaleye simply responded, “My lips are sealed.”
