BBNaija ex-housemate Tolanibaj has reacted to the comment of the MC at Prince‘s homecoming in Imo State for some statements he made during the occasion.
During the homecoming party, the master of ceremony cracked a joke about the “ship” that almost sailed between Prince and Tolanibaj.
According to the MC, when Prince was about falling for Tolanibaj in the BBNaija house, they prayed fervently so he doesn’t end up “going to Yorubaland” and that he’s grateful “the wishes our fathers” followed him and he came back to Igboland safely.
Tolanibaj who was surprised to hear that reacted sadly asking whether it’s because of tribalism or illiteracy that made the MC make such a comment at the homecoming of Prince.
It the audacity; like wtf👿😠... If this is not madness, I don't know what is. If I start with these villagers that live at the back of the canal, they'll start crying like a stupid goat. This is soooo shameful and he's sitting there like a clown🤡. Bunch of toys garbage🤮. pic.twitter.com/CdK9ToO6Tc

The Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina, has urged Nigerians to continue to exercise patience with the Federal Government especially with regards to issues of insecurity in the country.
The President’s media aide made the appeal during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics when asked how much longer Nigerians should wait till the issue of insecurity is resolved.
According to him, security is not something that a timeline can be put on, rather it is an ongoing issue that needs to constantly be reviewed.
“Patience must be elastic, it’s not something that you get to a point and say patience has run out. Patience must be a continuous thing,” he said.
Adesina continued: “There are certain things in which you don’t have control of all the variables. If you don’t have all the variables, you don’t then begin to give timelines. And security is not one of those things that you will give a timeline to say by this time to this time, we will achieve this.
“All over the world, security is a continuous thing and even the most advanced countries, are still working at it”.
President Muhammadu Buhari had hinged his 2015 election on three major promises – fighting security, anti-corruption, and economic development.
The same promise was reiterated in 2019, with security still said to be a priority of his administration.
But despite this promise, the security situation in the country, especially in the north, appears to continue to deteriorate.
Last week, hundreds of schoolboys were abducted from the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
Although the boys have now been recovered, there have been questions around the circumstances of their release in relation to a similar situation in Chibok and Dapchi where schoolgirls – many of whom are still missing, were also kidnapped in 2014 and 2018 respectively.
Since the kidnap and rescue of the Kankara schoolboys, other incidents of kidapping and banditry have continued to occur.
But Mr Adesina insists that “security remains a work in progress”.
According to him, there was once a time in the country when cases of bombings, kidnappings and other forms of insecurity occurred nearly on a daily basis and he believes that although work still needs to be done, there has been a huge improvement.
“Let’s be thankful for small mercies,” he urged Nigerians, adding that “there are challenges, but that is not the constant”.
Known as the Dead Man for nearly 30 years, the Undertaker is now more alive than he’s ever been. The wrestling legend (Mark Callaway) found Jesus thanks in part to his wife of 10-years.
“I believed in God but I wasn’t living my life for God,” he said before getting choked up, talking about his future wife who was known as the wrestler Michelle McCool.
He said she didn’t want anything to do with him when she arrived at WWE. While from afar he was admiring her work ethic despite always telling people not to date within the company.
Callaway seemed enamored with her and then he worked up the courage to begin a relationship.
“Would you please just come to church with me,” she asked, to which he responded, “I’m going to walk in there and the rafters are gonna start shaking…I believe in God, I’m good.”
He said McCool knew the man he was supposed to be had nothing to do with the Undertaker.
Then he described how he eventually grew to know the Lord through this church experience.
“There was a whole other part of life that I was missing out on,” he said. “I’m not perfect, I’m still in my process, I’m getting there. I spend a lot more time these days reading my Bible.”
Callaway will have even more time to read that Bible as he has finally retired from the WWE after a long and storied career.

Her words;
”My greatest regret ever was trusting a friend. But then, all that is in the past now, I am healed already. Honestly, I was just a victim of circumstances, and it took the grace of God for me to get out of it.
I took time off social media for my sanity. People out there think they can judge based on hearsay, even when they know nothing about me. But it is what it is…. glory be to God. Handling scandals is not an easy thing.
But when you did not do what you are accused of, you know how it feels… But it takes the grace of God to get out of it.”
Here are amazing photos of Hope, who was branded a witch and left to starve to death by his family at a wedding of one of the team members that rescued him five years ago in Eket, Akwa Ibom.
Hope was rescued by Danish aid, Anja Ringgren Loven and her team on January 31, 2016, after he was found wandering the streets.
Ms Loven shared photos of a stylish and handsome Hope writing;
"In exactly 40 days today we are going to celebrate that Hope was rescued 5 years ago. To be exact, Hope was rescued on the 30 of January 2016.
I cannot wait 40 days to share these pictures of Hope. He is simply to cute and handsome. Last week Hope was best man at Don Udowan, our Education officer’s wedding and Hope just shined like a little star.
Looking back, it’s hard to believe that 5 years have already passed. I remember the day we rescued Hope as if it was yesterday.
As most of you know I have the name HOPE tattooed on my fingers. A tattoo I got many years ago even long before I ever travelled to Nigeria. Because for more than a decade now it’s been my mission in life to: Help One Person Everyday: HOPE
Many of you have been following our work since we rescued Hope and witnessed his amazing transformation. He is a SURVIVOR and one day he will be old enough to travel the world and tell his story.
We owe everything to you, our followers, sponsors, supporters and members''.

The interim Chairman, Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), says over 70 corpses of persons killed in Lagos during the #EndSARS protests have yet to be claimed.
Falana said this during an interview with The Punch on Sunday.
The Chief Coroner of Lagos State, Mojisola Dada, had in a public announcement on November 19, 2020, called on relatives of people who lost their lives between October 19 and 27 to visit the Lagos State Teaching Hospital to identify and claim bodies of their loved ones.
However, Falana said so far, only about 20 families had come forward to claim bodies.
The ASCAB chairman added that many people did not know that their relatives had been killed, while some others might have left the “matter to God.”
He said, “About 98 dead bodies were dumped in various mortuaries out of which three were dumped there on October 20. However, less than 20 relatives have shown up at the mortuaries to identify their loved ones and take them for burial.
“Investigations by ASCARB show that people are quietly mourning their dead and some are afraid. Others haven’t confirmed that they lost anybody. So far, less than 20 relatives have come to identify their loved ones. This is over a month after the announcement
“Some didn’t know their loved ones were there. Some have accepted their fate as an act of God.”
Falana explained that this was not the first time that people would fail to show up to claim corpses of relatives.
He said this was similar to the case of the killing of members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria in Zaria, Kaduna State in 2015 by the Nigerian Army, when only 15 relatives out of the 347 buried in mass graves came forward.
