‘Restrict yourself to her resume’ – Akpabio stops senator from praising Bianca’s beauty

Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday stopped Osita Ngwu, senator representing Enugu west, from praising the beauty of Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu when she appeared before senators for screening as minister of state for foreign affairs.

After the former ambassador had introduced herself and presented her resume to the senators, it was Ngwu’s turn to speak, but he started by praising her beauty.

 

“Mr President, the beautiful nominee standing before us today…,” he said.

 

But Akpabio interrupted and asked him to restrict himself to her resume.

 

“Restrict yourself to the resume. Forget this word beautiful. She didn’t put in the CV that she is beautiful,” the senate president said jokingly.

 

The former ambassador said she spent an entire year in a hotel because Nigeria’s mission building in Spain was dilapidated.

“I would like to say that my past records speak for me,” she said.

 

“As an ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain, I spent an entire year in one hotel room because when I got to Spain, the mission building was in such an appalling condition.

“The embassy was located very close to the upscale estate of Galagao, where people would pass by on their way to various events and matches.

 

“It was disheartening that this decadent structure represented Nigeria in such a prestigious area.”

 

She added that minister she would work to ensure that the county’s mission buildings abroad are in a good conditions.

Mercy Aigbe, the Nollywood actress, has revealed the reasons behind her marriage to movie marketer Kazim Adeoti.

 

In a recent episode of Nollywood on Radio, the 46-year-old said their shared passion for the entertainment industry brought them together.

 

“One of the reasons I married him is that we’re both in the same industry,” she said.

 

Aigbe emphasised the benefits of partnering with Adeoti, adding, “Together, we are building a production empire. I just felt I needed someone in the industry to collaborate with.

 

“And it is a good thing that he understands it too. Combining our strengths, the future looks promising.”

In January 2022, Mercy unveiled Kazeem as her husband much to the surprise of many.

Shortly after the unveiling, the actress was in the public eye after Funsho Adeoti, Kazeem’s first wife, accused her of snatching her husband.

 

Kazeem, however, defended his decision to marry a second wife.

He said Islam permits polygamy as long as the husband can take care of his wives and does not maltreat them.

He added that his first wife had relocated permanently to the United States, leaving him with no choice but to take another wife.

 

In 2023, Aigbe converted from Christianity to Islam following her marriage. The actress said she reconsidered her religious beliefs because of her love for Adeoti.

 

“Converting to Islam made our bond tighter and sweeter. And it is exciting for me because I am learning the religion and at the end of the day, we are serving one God,” she had said.

Cristel Nchama, one of the women featured in Baltasar Engonga‘s viral sex tapes, has filed a formal complaint with the National Gendarmerie of Malabo; the armed forces of Equatorial Guinea.

 

Engonga, Equatorial Guinea’s director-general of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has been in the public eye after officials, who searched his home and office as part of an investigation into alleged fraud, uncovered about 400 explicit videos purportedly featuring him and multiple women.

 

Among the discoveries were tapes of Engonga seemingly having romps with his brother’s wife, his cousin, the sister of the president of Equatorial Guinea, the wife of the director general of police, and about 20 wives of ministers, among others.

 

The now-viral videos were filmed in his office, hotels, and toilets allegedly with the consent of the participants.

According to Real Equatorial Guinea, Cristel, in the complaint, revealed that she had a four-year relationship with Engonga and felt humiliated by the leaked videos.

She claimed that Engonga “misled” her into trusting him and that she previously resisted being filmed, believing any recordings were deleted.

 

Cristel also demanded that Engonga pays for the damages caused to her “reputation and honour”.

 

“I am humiliated, it is my reputation, my honour, I want to know where these images came from and why he kept the images,” she said.

 

The embattled head of ANIF was sacked on Thursday.

 

The government also suspended all officials said to have had sexual relations in offices of ministries.

The former Director-General of the National Financial Investigation Agency in Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar Engonga, has been remanded in Malabo’s Black Beach Prison.

The embattled former anti-graft chief was arrested days ago for allegedly recording over 400 sex tapes involving the wives of prominent figures in the country.

This scandal surfaced during a fraud investigation into the 54-year-old economist, resulting in an impromptu search of his home and office by ANIF officials, who reportedly discovered several CDs that revealed his sexual encounters with different married women.

As the footage leaked online, causing a media uproar, Equatorial Guinea’s President, Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, dismissed Engonga.

 

According to Decree No. 118/2024, dated 4th November, the dismissal was due to “irregularities committed in the exercise of his functions, as well as inappropriate family and social conduct for the performance of public duties.”

 

A viral video surfaced on social media on Friday, showing Engonga handcuffed on both hands and legs during a court appearance.

Confirming the situation, French online blog Afrikmatin reported that Engonga, who was officially removed from his role on November 6, 2024, was subsequently chained and transferred to Malabo Central Prison. He faces charges of corruption and embezzlement.

Additionally, online newspaper UGStandard reported that the sex tapes began circulating on social networks while Engonga was already held at Malabo’s notorious Black Beach Prison on charges of embezzling public funds, as reported by state television, TVGE.

In a fact-checking report published Wednesday, Dubawa verified that Engonga had indeed been taken into custody on corruption charges and is currently being held in Black Beach Prison.
