Today, President Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, admitted before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja that no certificate was listed on the President’s curriculum vitae and that none was among the documents obtained from Cambridge University earlier tendered as exhibits.

Adesua Etomi in a tweet addressed to Biggie revealed that she needs just 5 minutes in the Big Brother Naija house.....and it is all because of Khafi.  The Nollywood actress said her time in the house will be to tell Khafi "something" which might be in one or two words. Adesua tweeted;  Dear Biggie, pls I need only 5 minutes in the house. I just want to tell Khafi something.

Recall that Gedoni in a 'kiss-and-tell' moment described her (Khafi) as a sex-addict who disturbs him a lot.
