The long-anticipated season finale is finally here after 10 weeks of an arguably entertaining show with finalists Whitemoney, Liquorose, Angel, Cross and Pere. Made Kuti kicked off the finale show with a pack-punching performance from the fan park in Lekki. Interestingly, the center was filled with a physical audience, a first since the pandemic. Right after Kuti’s thrilling performance, Big Brother gave the finalists an emotional speech and it was straight on to business from there. The first finalist to be evicted was surprisingly the veto power holder of the season, Emmanuel. Angel’s eviction followed closely.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the eviction of another fan-favorite housemate Cross leaving the top three of the season- Whitemoney, Liquorose and Pere. The second runner-up of the season predictably turned out to be Pere. Whitemoney won the season in a landslide victory scooping 47% of viewers’ votes. Liquorose came second place with 22.99% of votes.

The family of Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta, which has dominated the country’s politics since independence, secretly owned a network of offshore companies for decades, according to a huge leak of financial papers. The Pandora Papers – 12 million files – is the biggest such leak in history. Mr Kenyatta and six members of his family have been linked to 13 offshore companies. The Kenyattas’ offshore investments, including a company with stocks and bonds worth $30m (£22m), were discovered among hundreds of thousands of pages of administrative paperwork from the archives of 14 law firms and service providers in Panama and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and other tax havens.
The secret assets were uncovered by an investigation, published earlier on Sunday, by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), Finance Uncovered, Finance Uncovered, Africa Uncensored and other news organizations. Documents show that a foundation called Varies was set up in 2003 in Panama, naming Mr Kenyatta’s mother, Ngina, 88, as the first benefactor – and Kenya’s leader as the second benefactor, who would inherit it after her death. The purpose of the foundation and the value of its assets are unknown.

Awoniyi’s invitation was announced on Sunday after he scored a second-half brace in Union Berlin’s 2-1 comeback win over Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga.

The former Nigeria U17, U20 and U23 star has enjoyed a fine start to the 2021-22 season, with six goals to his name after 10 appearances in all competitions.
