Lucy and Tochi had a heated argument earlier today over the cleaning of the Big Brother Naija house. The argument ensued after Lucy directed Tochi to go outside and clean as there are many people cleaning the interior of the house.

There was uproar at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos , on Wednesday after two airplanes collided at the international wing of the airport. An Airbus A330-243 owned by Middle East Airlines with registration number OD-MEA, ran into a Boeing 777 airplane with registration number TC-LJC operated by Turkish Airlines. Sources at the airport said the Turkish cargo flight was parked at the Lagos airport apron when the Middle East airbus ran into it. “The Turkish cargo flight was parked at the tarmac when the MEA airbus ran into it l, ripping off part of the empennage of the aircraft. “The MEA flight was taxiing when it happened,” the source said. The MEA airbus, which had been boarding passengers since 12:00pm, had to disembark every passenger on board. Another source at the scene of the incident said the Middle East Airline and others had been carrying out commercial operations under the disguise of evacuation flights. “These people have been running commercial fligh

A man has landed in serious trouble after accidentally killing a woman during rough sex . The tragic incident happened in the UK. Speaking to the jury after he was accused of raping and murdering his friend, he said he didn’t kill her intentionally, but it was an accident. Wesley Streete, 20, was “trusted” to walk Keeley Bunker home to safety when they arranged to go clubbing after she went to rapper Aitch’s concert in Birmingham with a friend. However, in the early hours of September 19 last year, Bunker revealed he put her body in a nearby stream and covered it with branches, a court heard. The missing 20-year-old, who weighed just 41kg, was discovered by her uncle during a search party, in Wigginton Park in Tamworth, Staffordshire, around 23km northeast of Birmingham. Giving evidence in his defence for the first time today, Streete outlined what he claims happened before her death. He agreed that he had been at Snobs nightclub in Birmingham city centre with Bunker and anothe

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk took a brutal dig at Merseyside rivals Everton during a question and answer session. The 29-year-old, who has been a revelation since joining the club from Southampton in 2018, was asked by a Liverpool under 8’s player if he was “popular” after lifting the Champions League trophy. “I was very happy. Were you very happy?” van Dijk said, before asking the same question to a kid next to him. It was soon apparent that the lad was an Evertonian, who obviously wasn’t best pleased with their 2-0 win against Tottenham, where goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi sealed a historic win in Madrid. “You support Everton? Tough, isn’t it? Must be very tough.” teased van Dijk. This is brilliant. Van Dijk’s contribution this season has once again been of vital importance to Jurgen Klopp’s side, and his “most valuable defender in world football” tag is justified Last year, the Dutch international had a whopping value of £90 million ahead of teammate Trent

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga might be the worst goalkeeper in the history of the Premier League, according to one stat at least.  The Blues number one has come in for a lot of criticism this season and has been dropped by Frank Lampard on a couple of occasions, including the last day of the season when Chelsea needed to beat Wolves to be sure of Champions League football. And it’s no wonder that Lampard didn’t trust the former Atletico Madrid keeper as he actually has the worst save percentage of any goalie who has played 10 or more games in Premier League history. Chelsea conceded more goals in the league this season than 10 teams and Brighton, who finished in 15th place conceded the same amount as the fourth placed side, with 54 goals against them. It was the worst defensive record for the west London side in over 20 years and according to other stats he has the second worst goals to game record in a single season by a Chelsea keeper. Whilst there has been questions ab

Sex change is a process by which a person or animal changes sexual characteristics either from male to female or vice versa. In humans, this usually occurs through sex reassignment therapy or sex reassignment surgery. For other species, sex change occurs naturally, usually through sequential hermaphroditism. Sex changes in animals occur for various reasons, ranging from weather to reproduction and even environment. Some animal species are even known to move back and forth between sex as the condition demands. Below are 8 animals that can change sex 1. Slugs Slug, or land slug, are shell-less terrestrial creatures from the gastropod mollusk family. The majority of land slugs are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs that are functional at the same time. Some species regularly self-fertilize and two mature slugs can mate and both parties can become pregnant.   2. Frogs Research and observation have revealed that west African fr
