BBN Winner Mercy Eke’s ₦100 Million Trapped in Heritage Bank Crisis
Central Bank of Nigeria has taken away Heritage Bank’s permission to operate because the bank has had money problems for five years and couldn’t recover bad loans. Yemi Cardoso, who leads the Central Bank, decided it was time to do this.
Many customers of the bank are upset. Mercy Eke, who won money on the Big Brother Naija show, is one of them. She was told to put her prize money, which is a lot (over ₦100 million), in Heritage Bank. She didn’t know the bank was not doing well.
The NDIC, which protects bank customers, says people with N5 million or less in their accounts will get their money back in one week. But people like Mercy Eke, who have more money saved, will have to wait until the bank sells its things to get their money back.
This news is a big reminder for everyone to be careful with their money and always know how safe their bank is. If you have money in Heritage Bank, you should talk to the NDIC to know what to do next.
Nigerian singer, Jaywon, calls out gospel and Afrobeats artists for drawing inspiration from his music.
This claim was prompted amid the release of Best Afrobeats Songs of All Time by Billboard. The artist also called out the magazine for leaving his song off the list.
The singer took to his social media page and wrote: ‘This Year’ by Jaywon had more viral moments and cultural impact than some of the tracks Billboard ranked. It has been trending since 2012 and is still relevant today. Who else has achieved that? Hate is inevitable. Year after year, both gospel and Afrobeats singers copy the same vibe, but we remain unshaken. I’ll say it again: no song on that list has more cultural impact than #ThisYear by Jaywon.”
It has been reported that Nigerian singer, Lil Kesh, allegedly escaped death after he was robbed in Lagos on August 20, 2025.
According to reports, the singer was stabbed in the neck during the robbery and was dispossessed of his jewelry and other expensive items.
However, no official statement has been released as the Lagos State Police Command is yet to confirm the incident.
The Nigeria Police Force addresses a viral poster of Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, stating that she is wanted.
They shared a report and denied making such a statement, claiming that the poster is fake as they did not brand the actress as wanted. They urged the public to verify news properly from trusted sources.
“FAKE NEWS ALERT! This “WANTED” poster of actress Iyabo Ojo did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force. It is false, misleading, and was never posted on any official NPF platform. Disregard and stop spreading fake news. Verify only from official NPF channels.”
