Godwin Obaseki

Osagie, in a statement urged the public to disregard the false claims describing it as the handiwork of mischief-makers

He explained that against claims that the license of EBS has been withdrawn over statutory failures, the Channel 55 under which the station operates on falls within the 700 megahertz band that is being repurposed by the federal government following an international treaty established by the International Telecommunications Union in 2015, of which Nigeria is signatory.

He disclosed that the NBC has, however, reassigned a new Channel 45 to Edo Broadcasting Service TV, while plans are in progress for the compensation for EBS by the NBC.

Osagie revealed that letters were written to the Broadcasting Stations within the band to inform them of the developments, notify them of new channels to relocate to, and provide their compensation needs for payment.

Affected Broadcasting stations were negotiated with beginning from around 2020 and 2021.

On the issue of licence fee, the Special Adviser said the Station was heavily indebted for over a decade, before Governor Obaseki came into office, adding that in June, 2022, the Governor approved and began to clear EBS indebtedness to the regulatory authorities.

BBNaija: The Final Showdown Begins, Explosive Evictions, Toke Spills the Tea, and Kelly Rae Grabs Head of House

Published

on

Kindly share this post

As Big Brother Naija Season 9 approaches its climax, the intensity both in the house and on Big Brother Naija: The Buzz Season 9 talk show is reaching unprecedented heights. Episode 9, hosted by the ever-charismatic Toke Makinwa, was packed with insights, debates, and jaw-dropping moments that had fans glued to their screens.

The Buzz

“As the game nears an end and the finish line comes to light, best believe the battle is about to get flaming hot,” Toke declared as she kicked off the episode.

“It was a bold statement, setting the tone for the discussions that followed, covering the latest evictions, brewing relationships, and the looming finale. With three big evictions—Handi, Tjay, and Shaun—leaving the competition, Toke, alongside guests Constance Owoyomi and Cassandra “Petite Talker,” dissected the drama of the night.

Kellyrae Takes Charge

Kellyrae claimed the coveted title of Head of House and became the first official finalist of Season 9. Sooj followed closely, escaping nomination by the housemates, making him another strong contender in the finals. The panel discussed the unpredictability of the house dynamics, with Constance noting, “No one can predict how the show will go by the changes in the house.” This comment couldn’t have been truer as alliances, betrayals, and unexpected exits continue to surprise viewers.

Shocking Evictions and Twitter Drama

The biggest shock of the night was the eviction of Shaun. Toke shared that fans on Twitter had blamed her for messing up his game, to which she exclaimed, “I just said I like the boy!” The discussion pivoted to the strategic gameplay of the Mbadiwe twins. Constance felt that the twins had coasted along, while Cassandra argued they’d simply been lucky. The debate on which housemates were genuine players and which were riding on fan favouritism highlighted the ever-present unpredictability of the house.

Love Triangles and Tense Relationships

Relationship dynamics in the house also took centre stage. The love triangle involving Ozee, Onyeka, and Victoria has kept viewers on their toes. With Nelly showing emotions and Sooj’s affection towards her becoming more evident, the panel agreed that Sooj might like Victoria too but struggles to handle the pressure of the house. “If the tables were turned, Sooj wouldn’t react this way,” Constance said, while Toke pointed out that his hot-and-cold behaviour keeps everyone guessing.

Toke then shifted the conversation to the feuds in the house, particularly the tension between Topher and Anita. According to Cassandra, the age difference between them plays a role, with Anita frequently talking down to Topher. “Anita is stringing him along until the end of the show,” Constance added. The panel agreed that while these relationships provide content, they likely won’t last outside the house.

Vox Pop Highlights

The show wrapped up with a vox pop segment, where fans shared their thoughts on the housemates they’d “poke” if given the chance. Victoria, Ozee, and Onyeka were the top picks, with many expressing frustration at certain housemates’ laid-back strategies.

As the episode closed, the panel shared their predictions for who would win the season. Constance backed Wanni or Ozee, while Kassandra put her money on Kellyrae. Toke hinted that if Wanni doesn’t win, she might take second place. With tensions mounting, all eyes are on the finale to see which housemate will walk away victorious!

The countdown to the finale of BBNaija No Loose Guard season is on. Get up to date with all the gist with Toke and guests on BBNaija: The Buzz.. New episodes drop every Thursday on Showmax.
