A TikTok user, known as Ego Okoye, who was arrested for making defamatory statements against actress Eniola Badmus, has said she defamed the actress because a friend, Fortune Ibe, promised to pay her N200,000.

Seen in a video clip apologising for her actions, Okoye said she needed the money to pay her house rent, adding that desperation pushed her into acting in such a manner.

Okoye said, “What happened was that a friend of mine, Fortune Ibe, said if I should come out and talk about Mrs Eniola Badmus, he was going to send me N200k because I told him about my rent.

“That was what prompted the video. I am so sorry; I just did that because I was desperate to pay my house rent. I just did it because of the money.”

Meanwhile, following Okoye’s arrest, Badmus had rejected pleas to settle the matter out of court as she insisted on charging her for maligning her hard-earned reputation.

Asked if she had ever done anything wrong to her, Okoye, in a terse response, said, “Nothing.”

Badmus added, “You just decided to spoil my name. Don’t worry; we are going to court. This is the girl who called me a professional pimp. Have I pimped you before? Your friend, where is she? You must provide her; don’t you have the friend again? She must come back; she will be your witness.”

One of the video clips had the insignia Eniola Badmus TV.

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and patron of the City Boy Movement (CBM), has officially appointed prominent Nigerian businessman and socialite Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, as the South-East Regional Director of the youth-focused pro-government group.

The appointment was formalized during a visit by Seyi Tinubu to Obi Cubana’s residence in Abuja on Monday night, February 2, 2026, where he personally presented the letter of recognition and appointment. The ceremony, captured in videos circulating on social media, featured supporters singing President Tinubu’s campaign anthem, “On Your Mandate We Shall Stand,” amid cheers and expressions of loyalty to the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The City Boy Movement is a youth-oriented platform aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, aimed at mobilizing support, promoting youth empowerment, innovation, and regional cooperation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a post on his Instagram page on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Obi Cubana shared details of the event and addressed mixed public reactions to his new role. He reaffirmed his commitment to integrity, community development, and inclusive growth, stating, “I am a City Boy through and through, inside and out,” while emphasizing that meaningful change requires active engagement rather than withdrawal.

The appointment has sparked widespread discussions online, with some praising it as a strategic move to strengthen ties in the South-East region, while others have expressed criticism or skepticism. Obi Cubana urged detractors to respect differing perspectives and focus on shared national progress.

This development comes as part of broader efforts by the City Boy Movement to expand its influence and grassroots support across Nigeria in preparation for future political engagements.

Why TV Makers Switched To OLED Panels

One of the biggest reasons manufacturers moved to OLED production was the panel’s ability to use individually self-emissive pixels instead of an LCD panel with LED backlighting.

If you’re looking for a TV that delivers rich colors and the kind of black levels that put actual movie theaters to shame, you should consider an OLED TV. 

The acronym stands for “organic light-emitting diode,” a panel type that signaled a major shift in display technology for TV makers.

One of the biggest reasons manufacturers moved to OLED production was the panel’s ability to use individually self-emissive pixels instead of an LCD panel with LED backlighting. 

The result was something LCD panels struggled with at the time: unbeatable black levels, near-perfect contrast, and a thinner chassis.

While early OLED TVs carried eye-watering price tags (one of LG’s first sets was nearly $10,000), growing competition and expanded panel production helped bring costs down, solidifying OLED’s role as a go-to choice for premium televisions.

Nowadays, brands like LG and Samsung — two of the most reliable smart TV brands on the market — produce industry-lauded OLED TVs at multiple price.

Generally speaking, OLED TVs are more expensive to produce than LED LCDs, and that usually translates to the former being priced a bit higher in stores and online.

And while LED LCD technology has continued to get brighter, thinner, and more affordable with each new generation, issues like light bloom, flat contrast, and poor image quality when viewed from the sides have remained. 

These are all picture maladies that pretty much don’t exist for OLED owners because of how much lighting and color control those self-emissive pixels deliver. 

The Samsung S95F OLED is one of the best TVs to buy on Amazon, according to experts, and part of what makes its picture so great is quantum dot technology.

Interestingly, quantum dots were originally an LCD feature that emerged in response to OLED TV production.

LED sets needed a way to compete with the rich colors and superior viewing angles that OLEDs introduced, and a layer of quantum dots was the answer.

By refining how light is converted into pure red and green wavelengths, quantum dots allowed LCD TVs to deliver wider color gamuts and higher peak brightness levels, without abandoning LED backlighting.

This also led to a new picture tech acronym: quantum dot-light-emitting diode, or QLED.

Brands like Samsung later adapted this same technology for OLED panels, combining a blue OLED light source with a quantum dot layer to create QD-OLED.

The hybrid approach preserves OLED’s near-perfect contrast and black levels, while boosting color volume and brightness, helping models like the S95F deliver a more vibrant, HDR-friendly picture than earlier OLED generations.
