Gov. Diri Removes Nengi, Names Blessing Eradiri As Face Of Bayelsa Girl Child
The Governor of Bayelsa state, Douye Diri, has dropped Big Brother Naija’s housemate, Nengi Hampson as the Face of Bayelsa Girl Child.
The Governor replaced her with Ebizi Blessing Eradiri.
Miss Eradiri is the first female First Class graduate from the Faculty of Law at the Niger Delta University (NDU), a feat she repeated at the Nigerian Law School
However, no reason was given by the governor for the new change but it may not be unconnected to the criticism drawn by the appointment of Nengi.
Many Nigerians had called for the Eradiri, a Bayelsa-born First Class Law Graduate, who has not only made Bayelsans proud but the entire Izon nation on her excellent performance at the Niger Delta University and the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus.
Some also argued that Eradiri has distinguished herself and should be the ‘Role Model’ to Bayelsa Youths.
However, Governor Giri took the bold step and announced Ebizi Blessing Eradiri as the New Face of Bayelsa on Monday, January 11, 2021.
While receiving her and her father, Boloupaye Eradiri, at the Government House, Yenagoa, Diri also gave her automatic employment to lecture at the NDU’s Faculty of Law.
The governor assured her of the state government’s support in advancing her educational career in any university of her choice anywhere in the world.
Diri, who announced Eradiri as the New Face of the Bayelsa Girl Child, said the gesture was aimed at making her a role model for young girls in the state and the entire Ijaw nation to emulate.
He equally dismissed speculations, particularly in the social media, about his government’s choice of honouring Miss Nengi Hampson of the last edition of Big Brother Naija, while refusing to recognize Eradiri, as false.
Diri, who expressed concern about the politicization of issues in the state, however, assured that his administration’s investments in the education sector would remain a top priority.
Describing Eradiri as a brilliant and rising star, the governor congratulated her on making history in bagging first-class honors not only at the NDU but also at the Nigerian Law School.
He also sought the Federal Government assistance towards the young lawyer’s development beyond what the state government was offering to enable her to add value not only to her state but the entire country.
Speaking, the Ibenanaowei of Ekpetiama Clan, King Bubaraye Dakolo, said they were proud of the breakthroughs of their daughter from primary to the tertiary level and that she deserved to be encouraged.
King Dakolo, who described Eradiri as exceptionally good, said she had won over 50 laurels from her primary to tertiary education level.
Responding, Miss Eradiri expressed gratitude to Governor Diri for the honour and attributed her success to God and her exposure to good educational infrastructure.
They observed a minute’s silence in honour of the late Mrs Eradiri.
Ebizi Blessing Eradiri Profile
Eradiri currently serves as an Associate at Templars, a top tier law firm in Lagos. And for clinching the new role, the Governor awarded Eradiri an automatic Scholarship up to PhD and automatic employment as a lecturer in Faculty of Law, Niger Delta University.
Eradiri is a double First Class Lawyer – the first female from her University to have a First Class Honours in Law, and she graduated with the highest Cumulative Grade Point Average in the history of her Faculty. She is also the first from her University to obtain a First Class Honours at the Nigerian Law School.
Some of Miss Ebizi Blessing Eradiri awards include:
1. Pioneer Double First Class Lawyer Prize, Bayelsa State House of Assembly, 2020
2. Overall Best Graduand, 2016/2017 Academic Session, Niger Delta University.
3. Best Graduating Law Student, 2016/2017 Academic Session, Faculty of Law, Niger Delta University.
4. Customary Court of Appeal, Bayelsa State Prize for Best Graduand in Faculty of Law, 2016/2017 Academic

Actor Damola And Wife, Actress Bukola Arugba Are Officially Divorced!
Nollywood actress, Bukola Arugba has finally announced her separation from her husband, Damola Olatunji.
Issuing out a PSA through her solicitors, Bukola revealed that she and Damola are no longer an item and have parted ways. According to the statement, the estranged lovebirds were never married but are blessed with twins.
Though the statement didn’t disclose the reason for the separation, it stated that the separation is without any hard feelings or ill will.
The estranged couple’s main focus and priority is their twins, who they have both agreed to jointly ensure that their well-being and welfare are guaranteed.
Read the statement below,
Bukola Arugba and Damola Olatunji spark breakup rumors
Kemi Filani reported early this year that Bukola Arugba and Damola Olatunji’s marriage was once again on the rocks.
Bukola Arugba fueled breakup rumors when she left a casual birthday message for Damola Olatunji.
Bukola Arugba who is known for always writing epistles to mark Damola Olatunji’s birthday, settled for just a two-line message this year which reads “Happy birthday, twins dad, Do have a great one sir”
The short message had got fans wondering what was going on with the lovebirds.
Damola Olatunji and Bukola Arugba’s shaky marriage
It was alleged that Damola Olatunji’s incessant sex for roles involving young actresses was causing issues in his marriage.
As a matter of fact, the couple not only unfollowed each other but threw shade at each other.
It got messier when Bukola Awoyemi, popularly known as Bukola Arugba, threw a shade at her husband, Damola Olatunji, in her tribute to veteran Olu Jacobs on his recent 80th birthday celebration.
Showering praises on Olu Jacobs, Bukola Arugba stressed that Joke Silva is taking care of him in his old age now because of how well he treated her in their younger days.
True love is made evident in actions and not in mere words. Mummy J is one special kind of woman
Grandpa Olu Jacob is obviously reaping the seed he sowed in her. What you do to her at her young age is psychologically, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually preparing her for your future.
Moreover, the good or bad you do to her now is actually for yourself. She becomes what you deposit in her.
A psychologically and mentally drained woman will automatically become emotionally detached, drained, and less productive. What productivity comes out of “brokenness” Happy birthday Grandpa…she becomes what you do to her, you don’t reap what you did not sow, Grandpa.” Bukola wrote.

“Legbegbe welcome back” -Nigerians react as Toyin Abraham’s ex-lover Seun Egbegbe regains freedom after 3 years
Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimaku‘s ex-lover, Olajide Kareem, better known as Seun Egbegbe, has regained his freedom after spending roughly three years and six months in prison.
He was locked up on February 10, 2017, after obtaining money by false pretence from no fewer than 40 bureaus de change operators in different parts of Lagos from 2015 to 2017.
Seun Egbegbe, who was the boss of Ebony Production, allegedly swindled the BDC operators out of money by claiming that he had naira to change into foreign currencies and vice versa.
He had been arraigned by the police for a series of fraud involving N39,098,100, $90,000 and £12,550. Egbegbe and one Oyekan Ayomide were first arraigned on February 10, 2017, before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo, on 36 counts bordering on advance fee fraud.
The charge sheet was subsequently amended twice, with the counts eventually increased to 40 and three other defendants – Lawal Kareem, Olalekan Yusuf and Muyideen Shoyombo.
In a recent development, Federal High Court, Ikoyi has found Egbegbe guilty of just one of the 44 Counts charges after reviewing his case.
Toyin Aimaku’s ex-lover was set free yesterday 11th October 2022. Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo declared that 43 of the 44 Count charges were dismissed because of a lack of witnesses to substantiate their claims.
She also denounced that the prosecuting team failed in the responsibility to produce evidence, to be backed with witnesses.
Lamenting that police tampered with the money recovered from the suspects, Justice Oguntoyinbo also ruled that all the money recovered from Egbegbe as evidence should be returned to him.
Nigerians welcomed Seun Egbegbe back after spending three years in prison with hard labour. Some reactions are shown below:
dhbwholesalesenterprises said, “iPhone 1 legbe gbe gbe welcome back, now iPhone is up to 14 waka jeje ooo
”.
yendishomebargains said, “Guy will come out and see that the world he was trying to please and flaunt for has left him behind , the world doesn’t really care , just try and live well”.
iam_igbinedionsammy said, “Police tampered with the money recovered from the suspects. Is anyone surprised? Certainly not me. Its the Nigerian Police in all its thieving glory”.
dattechguy said, “iPhone 1 legbegbe, Toyin Abraham your ex boo is back”.
