Tinubu’s Minister, Umahi Accused Of Demanding Hot $3x From Popular Business Woman
Nigeria’s Minister of Works and former Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has been accused of refusing to pay a businesswoman, Tracynither Nicolas Ohiri, for promotional items she supplied during his 2014 governorship campaign.
The former governor led Ebonyi state for eight years from 2015 to 2023. Prior to that, he was a deputy governor of the state.
In an interview on Friday, Mrs Ohiri alleged that Umahi deliberately withheld the N200 million payment because she rejected his $exual advances.
She claimed that Umahi initially assured her she would be paid after he won the 2014 gubernatorial election. However, she said that when she began demanding her money, he attempted to turn their business relationship into a personal affair.
“When I supplied him with the goods, he told me that he did not have money, but that I should not worry. As soon as he finished contesting for the governorship election and won, he would repay me,” she said.
She alleged that after Umahi became governor, he started avoiding her calls and only engaged with her when she entertained his advances.
“When he won the election and became governor, I started asking him for my money, and he began asking me out,” she stated. “I gave him about a year and eight months before I started asking for my money. So, anytime I asked him for payment, he would say, ‘No problem, I’m going to pay you.’ But then he would bring up the topic he had been discussing with me.”
She further alleged that when she refused his advances, he became angry and stopped responding to her calls.
“When he mentioned it to me twice, he took offence and said, ‘Do you know that since I was born, no woman has said no to me?’ I said I don’t know about that, but I cannot have anything to do with you, sir. I want it to be purely business. The next thing he did was block me.”
Ohiri said that after years of trying to get her money, she has resorted to public protests and social media campaigns to demand payment.
Ohiri, a mother, lamented how Umahi’s alleged refusal to pay her has left her struggling financially while his son enjoys a luxurious lifestyle.
“Give me my money. I am a mother with children. I see your son flying private jets. The money your son is using to fly private jets is enough for you to pay me. You withheld my capital. I am a nursing mother; I need my payment. I have waited enough for nine years.”
Meanwhile, a similar controversy recently involved Senate President Godswill Akpabio, a key politician in Tinubu’s government.
In February 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, alleging that he made inappropriate advances toward her during a visit to his residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on December 8, 2023.
She claimed that Akpabio tacitly demanded sex from her to facilitate the consideration of her motions in the Senate.
Meanwhile, the Senate has suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months, citing violations of legislative rules.

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal
A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.
According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.
She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.
With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.
The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.
She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.
“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps
A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.
The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.
Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.
Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.
In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).
The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.
One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”
Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
