  • The Edo State Government has debunked claims by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleging that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved N6 billion as compensation to so-called “Fulani terrorists” following the recent Uromi killings. In a strongly-worded statement on Thursday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Fred Itua, described the accusation as a reckless falsehood designed to incite ethnic conflict and destabilise the peace of Edo State. The controversy stems from the events of 28 March, when sixteen hunters from Kano State were killed in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi. In the aftermath, Governor Okpebholo visited Kano to sympathise with the families of the victims and appeal for calm, while a delegation from Kano later travelled to Edo to engage in peace discussions. IPOB, in a statement released on 21 April, alleged that the Governor had secretly approved a N6 billion compensation package to appease the bereaved families a claim which the Edo State Government swiftly dismissed as baseless and inflammatory. “There is no truth whatsoever in the claim that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved or paid N6 billion to any group,” Itua said. “This is a fictitious and malicious lie concocted by IPOB to sow seeds of discord and destabilise the harmony we have nurtured in Edo State.” The government warned that IPOB’s repeated attempts to manipulate public sentiment and incite ethnic hostility under the cover of activism would not succeed in Edo State. “It has become a known tactic of this proscribed group to exploit tragic situations to spread hate and misinformation,” the statement added. “Their agenda of violence and ethnic disintegration has no place here.” Emphasising its commitment to unity, security and justice for all residents, the Edo State Government reaffirmed its stance against any form of ethnic or religious discrimination. The statement also urged security agencies to investigate the source of the inciting publication and prosecute those behind it, stressing that public order and peace must not be jeopardised by dangerous propaganda. “We remain resolute in our commitment to justice, peace and the protection of all Edo people, regardless of background,” the government declared. “We will continue to uphold the values of unity, tolerance and truth in the face of reckless attempts to destabilise our state.”

Nkechi Blessing, a well-known actress in Nollywood, provided an explanation on Monday for why she twerked for the Ooni of Ife, despite the criticism she has received for her actions.
Recall that the actress caused a stir on social media on Sunday after a video of her twerking for the monarch went viral. This caused others to share their thoughts and emotions.

Nkechi Blessing clarified the reason for the dance by revealing that she was losing the dancing competition to a coworker. As a result, the reason she improvised with the twerking was because she wanted to win the competition.

In addition to this, she disclosed that she was paid the sum of N250 for dancing in such a provocative manner.

“About yesterday’s judge’s dance competition, as my Oga @fagboyobamidele don Dey win me, I say make I improvise but las las I came second and walked away with 250k courtesy of the king @ooniadimulaife,” he wrote on Instagram. “About yesterday’s judge’s dance competition, as my Oga @fagboyobamidele don Dey win me, I say make I I hope you have a long life, sir. She posted a message on Instagram that read, “God bless you abundantly for spreading smiles on the faces of millions.”

Still, the explanation does not satisfy the Internet users, as seen by the fact that they continue to make fun of her while a select handful comes to her defense. They think that her twerking for the Ooni is part of her plan to woo him into making her his seventh wife, and they feel that this is why she did it.

In spite of this, as she was replying to comments, she acknowledged those of one of her followers and quoted her as stating “Person shake yansh collect 250k, you wey borrow data dey troll, some people Mumu eh.”

In the meantime, Nkechi Blessing’s ex-boyfriend, Opeyemi Falegan, with whom she has been engaged in a war of words recently, has criticized her for twerking for the Ooni, albeit he refrained from labeling her an insane woman. He attacked her for the move.

Falegan posted a Yoruba proverb on his Instagram page, in which he discussed the difficulties that come with having a crazy relative.

“Were dun wo kose bi lomo, Oma sheee oooooo,” he said in one of his messages. “Mad person is lovely to watch, but nobody wants them as a child.
