Mysterious Outbreak Strikes Kogi, Urgent Action Needed
Kogi State has fallen victim to a mysterious and deadly disease, claiming the lives of those unfortunate enough to come into contact with it.
Disturbing reports reveal that even the medical professionals are struggling to cope with the dire situation.
At a local hospital, medical staff can be seen donning protective anti-epidemic gear, while onlookers, unable to contain their grief, keep a safe distance from the deceased.
Speculations among residents suggest that this enigmatic affliction may be a “hemorrhagic Fever.”
Social media influencer Joseph Oseni, a concerned voice in the community, took to his platform to sound the alarm.
With great urgency, he posted, “Baba God delivers Kogi State from the clutches of this ‘hemorrhagic fever.’
We must exercise utmost caution, as this disease is highly contagious.”
The frightened residents of Kogi State are now pleading with the government to swiftly intervene before the situation spirals out of control.
The urgency to contain this insidious disease has become paramount, as the fate of the entire state hangs in the balance.
MultiChoice Nigeria has announced that the tenth edition of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show will begin soon.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the organisers revealed that the audition process for this edition will differ from previous ones.
Unlike past seasons, where aspiring contestants auditioned virtually, those vying for a spot in the 10th edition will have to audition in person.
However, the premiere date for the new season and the audition locations has not been disclosed.
“This time, it’s all about showing up and being you. Ready to shine? Get ready your moment is closer than you think! Season 10 is coming,” the post reads.
The reality TV show first introduced online auditions in its fourth season in 2019.
At the time, the option was created for those who couldn’t attend the physical auditions held earlier.
Since then, the organisers have maintained virtual auditions, adding different twists with each edition.
In the last season, contestants were required to audition in pairs.
At the last edition, Kellyrae defeated other housemates to win the grand prize of N100 million.
The feat also sees him become the first married person to win the show.
As the winner, he went home with a cash prize of N60 million, a new car among others.

“Therefore, tomorrow, Sunday, 30th March, 2025 becomes the 1st day of Shawal 1446 and the Eid-el- Fitr day,” the Sultan declared.
