“Tiwa Savage’s Tape Leaking Was Not A Mistake”

    Information reaching livenewsguns House that “Tiwa Savage’s Tape Leaking Was Not A Mistake” Nigerian doctor, Aproko doctor has taken to Twitter to share his opinion about Tiwa’s video , stating that the man leaked it himself. In his words; "Let’s not be fools: That s3xtape leaking was NO mistake. And no, I’m NOT saying Tiwa (or the woman) leaked it herself. Conveniently, the man’s face is not showing. But the woman’s face shows. That man who recorded it knew exactly what he was doing and exactly why he leaked it. I really hope Tiwa doesn’t honestly believe this leak was a “mistake”.

What’s the motivation actually? If not to possibly leak it “mistakenly” on your Snap maybe as...

  By Joe Iniodu There seems to be no end to the new wave of change that has greeted the Niger Delta  Development Commission (NDDC) under the supervision of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and  under the watch of Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON.  On September 28, 2021, the Commission delivered 67 flats to the Nigeria Police Special Protection Unit, Base 6, Omagwa in Rivers State. The sprawling structure also has other complementary features to give it that contemporary edge of sync with modernity.  From Omagwa in Rivers State, the next likely port of call which would attract yet another array of movers and shakers is Uyo in Akwa Ibom State, where NDDC is again set to deliver another landmark social investment; the construction of a 1000 bed space, which would accommodate students of the University of Uyo.  The edifice which is at about 98% completion, bears the architectural brand of NDDC headquarters building with the façade, design and aesthetics serving...
