Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has shared an unforgettable experience and touching story of Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemate WhiteMoney.In a post shared on his Instagram page, Seyi Law recalled his encounter with Whitemoney back in 2014, describing him as the definition of a hustler.

  Seyi Law said after the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemate became the face of his brand, they frequently shoot for several hours against the agreed time, and he would never complain.According to Seyi Law, Whitemoney has practically done every job from being a photographer to a barber, taxi driver and producing music and tons of comedy skits.

White Money back in 2014…. I was amused by his name, I insisted to have his real name, of course, then he told me, Hazel. Long story short, he became the face of my brand on my website.

The reason for this story is simple. It hurts each time housemates try to debunk his stories as lies. This dude is the most hard-working guy I’ve ever seen! When we did the shoot, we would shoot for 10 hours straight non-stop, and he would never complain.

He practically did this for free clothes and whatever I give. He had no complaints. Back in Ojuelegba, I met him as a photographer then later saw him in a Salon as a barber, then the next thing, he was driving different cars for people, then he would do tons and tons of comedy skits.

   Before you say, Jack Robinson, he was in a music band where he would drum and sing. He posted tons of videos with no one noticing him with less than 15 likes. So you can imagine the joy in my heart when I saw him in the house.

You see this guy. White Money is the definition of a hustler. From being a Fuel Station attendant to Modelling, Barbing and Driving, he has done it all.Thank God for the grace to be in Big Brother House. He is the chosen ONE. Now, you know who I am supporting. White Money for the MONEY.

The Chairman of the board of Cross River Basin Development Authority, Eseme

Eyiboh, has been sacked by President Muhammed Buhari.

Mr Eyiboh’s sack came about two months after the Minister of Water Resources,

Suleiman Adamu, overruled the board on the suspension of the agency’s

managing director, Bassey Nkposong, over an alleged corrupt act.

Mr Nkposong was suspended after an ad-hoc committee which looked into how

the agency was run accused him of irregularities in the award of N250 million

worth of contracts and other “breaches.”

The managing director refused to respond, twice, to the allegations, including

a query from the board before he was suspended.

Mr Nkposong, however, told PREMIUM TIMES he did not receive any query or

suspension letter from the board. He also said he was not aware of the ad-hoc

committee set up by the board.

Mr Adamu, while overruling the board on the suspension, said the board did

not possess the needed authority and also did not also follow due process.

Axed

A letter from the Ministry of Water Resources to Mr Eyiboh said President

Buhari has approved his removal as the board chairman.

The letter, dated October 8 and signed by the permanent secretary, Didi

Walson-Jack, on behalf of the minister, did not state why the board chairman

was removed.

Mr Eyiboh’s removal, however, appeared to be in connection with the board’s

investigation and eventual ‘suspension’ of the managing director.

Mr Eyiboh was not queried by the ministry. The allegation of corruption was also

not investigated by the ministry.

The minister, instead, asked the sacked chairman to hand over to a member

of the board, Ademola Oyadare.

The minister did not respond to calls and a text message seeking his comment.

Undeterred

Mr Eyiboh, on Saturday, issued a press statement over his removal. He

addressed the alleged corruption in the Cross River Basin Development

Authority.

“The Board under my chairmanship did not reckon with the organised

corruption ring that had the active connivance and protection of the power

grid at the supervising Federal Ministry of Water Resources,” he said in the

statement.

“The trajectory of the board’s running battles to ensure transparency and

probity by the management of the CRBDA shows clearly that the agency’s

Managing Director could not have been acting independently of a powerful

protective cocoon located in the supervising ministry.

“Six months after the composition and inauguration of the Governing Board of

the Cross River Basin Development Authority by the President, the management

of the CRBDA engaged in the most scandalous public auction of the

commonwealth of the people occasioning the carting away and conversations of

public assets under spurious circumstances and continued to run the Authority

as if there was no board, with the Managing Director acting as a sole

administrator, as it were before the board was constituted.

“The Governing Board had to invoke its oversight powers by setting up an ad-

hoc committee to look into the activities, programmes and projects of the

Basin Authority,” Mr Eyiboh said.

Mr Eyiboh said his removal “should not end the quest for accountability” at the

agency.

“I want to restate that Hon Eseme Eyiboh may be the target, but he is not the

issue at stake at the Cross River Basin Development Authority. The main issue is

corruption, which I believe is actively being covered up from high places. If the

supervising ministry dares, let the minister institute an independent panel to

confirm or rebut the findings of the board,” he said.
