The immediate past Secretary to the State Government in Akwa Ibom State, Umana Umana wielded unprecedented powers for the six years he held that office. His sway fed speculations of a secret agreement on transfer of power between him and Governor Godswill Akpabio. Last week the Umana myth unfolded in uncommon umbrage. By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor & Tony Nyong It was an uncommon partnership that ended in a spectacularly unusual manner. As Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr. Umana Umana was one of the major figures that shaped what has  been dubbed by devotees of Governor Godswill Akpabio as the uncommon transformation of the state. The quiet speaking Umana wielded an unprecedented influence in the government and politics of the state so that when his end came last week, it left many bemused. For almost one week, Umana was at the centre of deep intrigues over his removal cum resignation from the office from where he called the shots in Akwa...

I am just trying to mind my business but Nigeria’s Big Brother Africa Chase representative, Beverly Osu will not cease to amaze me and always has a way of making me open up my trap. This time, she has taken her ‘love’ affair with South African house mate far by actually asking the guy to marry her just as their love is waxing stronger by the day. Just last night, in one of the few times I decided to watch the program, Beverly showed her vulnerability during an intimate moment with Angelo, she confessed how much she loved him. Hear them: “I try to deny that I love you because I’m thinking it’s too early to love you when I don’t know how you are in the outside world,” Beverly began, to which Angelo replied, “To be honest, I’m also kind of scared of knowing you on the outside.” Beverly quickly chipped in by saying she has told him everything there is to know about her, including how she used to sleep with men for money to take care of her family and how she once had an abort...

Speaking to Daily Sunsports at the Super Eagles camp in Abuja, the Sunshine Stars FC of Akure defender argued that he could not see the rationale, why Barcelona should sign midfield attacking sensation, Nermay da Silva Santos, who was playing in the Brazilian league without trial and Arsenal could not do the same to him, describing his invitation for trial as an embarrassment. Asked what happened to his Arsenal deal, the Super Eagles defender angrily thundered: "I don't think anything happened because it is high time some of these clubs started respecting this country.
