Before the game began, Guinness encouraged all the fans present to predict the final score of the game and win prizes from Guinness. 

Just when Guinness was about to reward the winners, Phyno threw in a big surprise, he decided to give the winner a whopping N500, 000, and the atmosphere was super charged; as if that wasn’t enough, Olamide decided to support his friend and fellow ‘Made of Black’ ambassador and doubled the money to N1 million.

Dare Olugbodi was announced as the winner and could not hide his joy as he realised that he has suddenly became a millionaire.

This Lady Secretly Marry A Guy She Met Online, But Ran Back Home after 2 Weeks of Hell

                  

I laugh whenever I hear Naija ladies say they want to live a free life like the Oyinbos, those folks have no regard for married; they get in, get out anyhow. This young lady met a guy flaunting wealth on Instagram and ran away to marry him, but living with the guy she saw hell... all that glitters is not gold!

If You Confirm Amaechi As A Minister, We Will Dump You – PDP Senators Warn Saraki

Senators on the platform of the PDP and their APC counterpart are set for for a showdown over the different positions they have adopted on the confirmation of two of 16 remaining ministerial nominees.

It was learnt that the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki, may weigh in on behalf of Rotimi Amaechi and the ministerial nominee from Cross River State, Usani Uguru. The duo had been caught up in a grudge war mounted by the PDP senators.

Amaechi is being attacked by the PDP Senators for his role in the defeat of Goodluck Jonathan.

Uguru on his part brought himself into the bad book of the PDP Senate caucus when, during his screening, he said “God forbid” to a question as to his membership of the PDP.

At the end of the screening of the nominees, the PDP Senate caucus held a meeting where they reportedly took a position against the confirmation of Amaechi. The senators were said to have resolved not to consider Amaechi’s nomination unless the report of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges on the petitions filed against the former Rivers State governor was brought forward for consideration first.

Some of them were said to have vowed to dump Saraki once Amaechi is confirmed as a minister.

Funny enough, despite all the noise, nobody in Rivers State PDP have dragged Amaechi to court.
