Most importantly, I am deeply regretful for the harsh words I tweeted when I felt provoked by her passionate FANS who were upset

It was not fair to her as she had PERSONALLY not done anything to ME.
My reactions to the insults were totally wrong and not inspired from a place of Love which I always champion

How others treat us is no fault of ours. But how we respond/ REACT is fully up to us.

An eye for an eye leaves the world Blind (I’m still learning this one sha cos sometimes the spirit of Gbas gbos is tooo strong lol)

I’m also someone that says, don’t insult me in public and then come and apologise privately

So symply_tacha I am extremely sorry for the mean tweets I responded with last year.
Please accept my deepest apologies

I can’t imagine what you must have gone thru and still go thru on a daily basis. All I can say is your tenacity is admirable

To the Titans. Na Una come for me o! Lol *jokes*.
I whole heartedly forgive you all for any and everything u guys said or did.
But more than anything else, I am also sorry for the way I addressed you guys.
Our fight don reach one year o lol. So make we hug an out

I am officially extending the olive branch to you guys and saying I am sorry
Trust me when I say I NOW KNOW HOW U GUYS FELT and FEEL

I’m not justifying anything from anyone but as Public Personalities we have to actually practice what we preach and tho we may fall a few times, we owe it to our followers to get up and inspire them by doing the right thing

Let love TRULY lead. And let’s be compassionate.

As Ephesians 4:31-32 says : Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you??

Not every disqualified housemate turns out successful like Tacha – Man

A Nigerian man on has said that not every  disqualified housemate from Big Brother Naija, BBNaija reality show turns out successful like Tacha.

According to the man identified as Danny Walter on Twitter, stated that, Tacha became the standard and a ray of hope because she became successful against all odds.

Backing his opinion, he mentioned the likes of Khloe and Kbrule who were disqualified from the show but are not as successful as Tacha.

“Not every disqualified housemate turns out successful like Tacha. Khloe and Kbrule were disqualified. No one uses them as yardstick. The only reason Tacha is used as a ray of hope for Erica fans is because Tacha became successful against all odds. Tacha is the standard”.

Below is the list of the five housemates who have been disqualified by Biggie.

Kemen: I’d start this list with Kemen who was disqualified from the show after a video surfaced where he was seen sexually harassing TBoss, while she was asleep.
K.Brule: He was an interesting housemate in the third season of the show, but his strategic pairing with Khloe proved an undoing – for both parties. K.Brule got a second strike following Khloe’s use of “strong abusive curse words”. Well, he eventually got himself disqualified after receiving a third strike for using “strong threatening words and attempting to physically harm a fellow housemate”.
Khloe: Okay, since K.Brule made the list, she obviously comes next. Like we said earlier, the pair both got strikes each to get themselves eventually disqualified from the show.
Erica: A newcomer on this list, Erica was disqualified following her verbal abuse on Laycon after yesterday Biggie organization decided to disqualify her for breaking the house rule.
Tacha: Queen of drama? Queen of highlights? Depends on which camp you belong. Natasha Akide stay in the house was highly controversial, and can be said as one of the most popular housemates ever. Tacha was disqualified from the ‘Pepper Dem’ season after physically assaulting fellow housemate and eventual winner, Mercy Eke.

It was only Nigeria that I believe that if I want to have a house, I can build it myself, if I want to build a brand, its Nigeria that I can start from scratch and be somebody and I just always knew that it was Nigeria that I would become great. I got connected to people quickly, people ready to work with me, people ready to build something with me. So I’m just like I can come here, leverage on it and become someone successful so I took the chance, took the risk and here I am today.”

Uniben student allegedly strangled to death inside a hotel by suspected ritualist

An undergraduate of University of Benin, Chinenye Promise Nwoye has died after she was allegedly strangled by a suspected ritualist in a hotel room at Abagana, Njikoka Local Government Area, Anambra state.

According to Anambra Broadcasting Service Radio, the young lady is believed to be a victim of scammers or kidnappers who lured her into the hotel for ritual purposes on August 27, 2020.

On the day she was killed, she was allegedly lured to the hotel by her killers. While she was there, she made a phone call to her family members to inform them that she was in danger and needed her ATM pin number to free herself from “kidnappers”.

Her mother, Mrs. Chinyere Nwoye and a member of her family fellowship, Brother Jude Okoye, narrated how they rushed to the hotel shortly after the deceased called them but it was too late.

The bereaved mother recounting the incident said,

“I had immediately dressed up and left for the said hotel with a family fellowship member. On arrival, we met some boys outside the hotel. When I asked the receptionist about my daughter’s whereabouts, they started checking for the booked rooms and overheard her telling one boy to give her the keys to room 57 and 58 and on refusal, the attendant sought for a spare key with which she opened the room and screamed out loud to everyone’s hearing ‘These people have killed somebody ooo.

“I now ran upstairs and was shocked to see my daughter naked, lying face down with her hands and legs tied with her own clothes. From the clothes and the sandals, I knew it was my daughter. When the fellowship member with me started raising alarm, they now called the Police from Abagana Police Divison who came and took the body away.

She further noted that, police officers from Abagana Divisional Police Station took the corpse to Bekee Hospital Mortuary Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area.

Mrs. Chinyere Nwoye and Jude Okoye accused the hotel management of complicity in Chinenye Nwoye’s painful death through their actions and/or inactions. They called on government and human rights groups to unveil the killers.

In her words,

“I did not waste any time in getting there, so there was no reason to kill my daughter. That hotel is a ritual place, and all of them know what happened to my daughter. It was even surprising that none of our kinsmen wanted to hear anything from me even when I went to tell them my story. That is why I am calling on government and human rights group to look into this matter and bring the killers of my daughter to book. This is a promising young girl that her life has just been terminated.”

However, Juliet recently took to her social media page to air her displeasure about being called a half-caste.

The actress told a story of how someone she had a conversation with insisted she isn’t “black enough” to be called a black woman because of her skin colour.

Juliet Ibrahim brags

The beautiful film star revealed people see her and her siblings as half-caste, a term she insists she finds offensive.

Her post reads,

“I had a random conversation the other day with someone and it was appalling when he mentioned passively to me that he doesn’t see me as a #Blackwoman ! He argued, you are not “black enough” your skin isn’t dark enough, your hair not kinky enough. And thus my siblings and I do not “count” as Black.

Now this is Exactly, what we are fighting to correct amongst ourselves and the world at large. I am a black woman! When I’m abroad amongst the whites, I am classified and recognized as a black woman, however, right amongst us Africans I’ll be referred to as a Half-Caste! This is the most derogatory term to describe a person of mixed race or mixed ethnicity.

We are referred to as mixed race or multi-racial! Mixed race people are no less black than their dark-skinned counterparts. So, let’s all say NO to RACISM, TRIBALISM, COLORISM and SEGREGATION. Let’s teach and train our children to grow up and accept people for who they are and not by the color of their skin.”

“What is Erica? a new pandemic or an animal?” – Lady slams Nigerians for supporting Erica

A Nigerian lady has slammed Nigerians for ignoring the important issues facing the country and supporting disqualified Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica.

According to her the Big Brother Naija reality TV show is a waste of time.

In a video which she shared on social media, she said,

“Please what is Erica? I have been hearing Erica Erica everywhere. Please is it a new pandemic? Or is it an airborne disease that just broke out? Or is it an animal? Wait ooo…Is it a new “ororo” that Dangote just produced and people are trying to advertise?

“Maybe I will also buy because it will be good to fry plantain. Why are we doing this to ourselves? I don’t understand. What should be in everybody’s mouth is the high electricity tariff and fuel subsidy. This is bad. Nigerian youths why are you killing yourselves?

“Big Brother Naija is a three months waste of time. Do you know what it means to waste three months in your life? Some people spent more than N20,000 on voting but they are suffering. Shey you dey mad ni? Now they have opened GoFundMe for Erica. Are you guys crazy?”
