Big Brother Naija house is never devoid of daily drama and that is precisely why the show pulls so much crowd.
There was an infamous altercation between Erica and Lucy where they both engaged in a war of words after Lucy failed to explain properly, a statement she made about Kiddwaya.
Both ladies later buried the hatchet at the dinning where they could be heard apologizing to each other.
Watch video below:
ERICA: I’m sorry I insulted you LUCY: it was a joke, I’m sorry as well. If I had any issues with you, I’d come tell you directly. #BBNaijapic.twitter.com/1Py5W1FOV4
Erica was having a conversation with TolaniBaj and Vee as to how she’s attracted to Laycon mentally and attracted to Kiddwaya physically.
Erica noted that she wishes she could have a guy with Kidd’s Physical features and also same guy with Laycon’s mind.
..and then Vee noted that Laycon is physically loaded down there! In her words; “My girl, streets are saying Laycon is….” ..then she emphatically made a gesture noting how huge Laycon’s eggplant is… and then Erica agreed, saying “Exactly”.. TolaniBaj also said, “I heard too”
Apparently, it may have seemed as though Erica cried in the ‘toilet’ after having a heart-to-heart conversation with fellow housemate, Laycon.
Recall when Erica became the head on house for the fourth week on Monday, she had a conversation with Laycon as to who she may choose as the deputy HOH.
Laycon had told her she’s free to choose Kiddwaya as her deputy, and he’d be unbothered. He also noted that regardless of her decision he’d still care for her.
Below is an unseen footage where Erica went to the toilet to cry her eyes out, shortly after having a heartfelt conversation with Laycon.. and then realizing she may loose laycon if she chooses Kiddwaya as her deputy HOH.
Seems BBNaija: Pepper Dem winner, Mercy Eke is quite pissed with the people who have been pestering her to support one of the current Big Brother Naija: Lockdown housemates.
In a live video she made recently, Mercy is seen quite agitated over how people have been bothering her and asking her to pick a favourite. She’s seen telling those who it may concern, to leave her alone… that she’ll done whatever it is that she want whenever she wants.
Mercy went on to say that she’s busy with her life, busy with business and other things and as such, people shouldn’t miss her with the b.s of using her time to pick a favourite housemate. According to her, the reality TV show is just a game and people should move on with their lives.
She’s heard saying,
“I still don’t know these people, I still don’t know them, so when I have time, I’ll do what I want to do… but don’t try to force me, don’t try to make me see……. You can’t force me to like you, like are you mad?! Are you crazy?”
Another infamous altercation was recorded in the Big Brother Naija house on monday morning and yet again, Lucy was involved, this time, with Erica.
It wasn’t quite clear what exactly started the fight, but Erica called out Lucy on a statement she made, and asked her to explain what she means by what she said.
When Lucy didn’t explain, Erica went guns blazing.
She said ;
“You’ve had issues with me today. You probably have brain problems. You have issues with people in the house because of the way you talk! Are you crazy? You’d better shut up!!
Carrying mop on your head like a clown that you are”.
ERICA to LUCY: What do you mean KIDD is the neck, if it doesn’t turn, the head doesn’t turn? Plus why is ERICA so fine even in her vex mode ? #BBNaijapic.twitter.com/U7TPn4MdDV

Naira Marley gave the announcement on his Instagram page recently with a photo of himself and Lyta signing the contract papers on the bed.
“Welcome to MarlianMusic @official_lyta ???” Naira Marley wrote.

“I’m so excited to be joining my new family Marlian music, thank you my President @nairamarley for giving me this amazing opportunity?⚡️”

Multiple award-winning American Singer, Stefani Germanotta professionally known Lady Gaga has revealed she has mental health issues.
Lady Gaga, 34, made the revelations about her mental health during a chat with with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio station today Tuesday August 11.
She said:
‘I wrote a song on Chromatica called 911, and it’s about an anti-psychotic that I take and it’s because I can’t always control things that my brain does and I have to take medication to stop the process that occurs.
”I know I have mental issues and I know that they can sometimes render me non-functional as a human.’
How can I use my humanity to focus on something that I believe to be infinitely more important than what I’ve been through? Which is what the medical community has done.
‘It made me think about the helpers of the world and how their mental states are and how they don’t necessarily have the help that they need.
‘When this is all over whatever that means and things get better whatever that means, who will be there to support them’
‘I don’t lack self awareness and I do understand I’m not the only human on the planet that suffers and I think I have it pretty f****** good and I’m grateful for what I have.’
Former BBNaija housemate and model, Ike Onyeoma has revealed that he is still romantically entangled with his babe, Mercy Eke, who he met while in the BBN house, but they’re yet to be engaged traditionally.
He revealed that he not putting Mercy’s pictures on his social media space and vice versa was a mere strategy to have their fans and brands strong.
The model also noted that they had been incredibly supportive of each other’s businesses as they intentionally reduced posting their pictures on their social media handles.
“We are still doing our thing, we have not officially done the engagement or moved in together yet, but she comes to my place every other day and I go to her place as well.
“We still go to each other’s house and try not to overdo it, maybe stay the night or two, but not too much, just because of tradition.
“When it comes to business, things have gotten a lot better, before it was more like all of us as ex-housemates were in a competition with each other, but now, everyone is finding their place and we are all comfortable helping each other out.
“I will say the Mercy & Ike show was like a blessing because, before the show, we were both focused on our fan base and trying to keep our fan base strong, it was really an idea that promoting one another will weaken our brand.
“Like if I was to promote Mercy, it will weaken my brand or if she was to promote my brand it will weaken her brand, that is the kind of idea people were giving us.
“So, I am now going private, posting just myself and not showing anything about Mercy really calmed things down,” he said.

Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie has come out publicly to debunk rumours about her alleged marriage. She says that the wedding photos and videos were for a video shoot.
Some time ago, pictures and videos of her supposed wedding went viral in Nigeria, which met with a lot of congratulatory messages from fans and celebrities. However, the TV diva kept mute about the speculation and basked in the euphoria of being the centre of media attention, in order to promote her recently released single, Baby Chuchu.
In a recent post on her Instagram page, she condemned bloggers and tagged them as senseless, unprofessional and incompetent for taking up the story and assuming it was her wedding without confirming from a real source. Apparently, the photos and videos were snippets of her beach wedding inspired music video.

A Nigerian Twitter Stop Rape advocate page has taken to the social networking platform to share the story of an 11-year-old orphan who has been raped severally by her stepfather, and other guys on her street.
The page in a thread narrated the plight of the orphan, who has been sexually molested at a very tender age.
The young lady, captured on camera, is seen narrating how she usually sleeps on the street and is frequently raped by street urchins.
The Twitter page @stop_raping, narrating the little lady’s ordeal wrote,
“this is urgent. Please read the thread and watch this video which was recorded yesterday 10th of August 2020. Precisely around 7 pm. It’s about an eleven-year-old orphan who has no home, no family, she has been raped repeatedly and has been living on the streets,
A passenger (the lady asking questions and making the video) asked her why, then she proceeded to tell whoever cared to listen that She has been raped repeatedly by street thugs, touts, several “molas” and by her step father as well, to the extent that she’s unable to hold pee (urine) for long. She revealed that everyone who raped her said her vagina was too wide for a girl her age. (Probably because she’s an underaged young girl who’s been raped, and taken advantage of repeatedly by men old enough to be her father)
She revealed that she was raped yesterday again by two men in the same Kara area of Mowe. She explained that she had sought help from Police Stations on different occasions where she’s been repeatedly victimised. When asked about her parents,She said she’s an orphan with no relative, her mother is dead and she never met her father. While her stepfather lives in Itori, Ogun State. She’s been sleeping on the streets ever since. When we asked her where she was going to, she said she was headed for Itori.
We asked if she had a place to go to there, she said no, that she would just find anywhere to stay. We decided to take her to the police station in Sango, so that at least she can be helped, she refused, saying the police would not help her, instead they’d arrest her.
We assured her that nothing of such would happen. (She didn’t want to go and she told us to leave her alone) On getting to the police station, while explaining the situation to the officers, one of the female officers slapped the girl twice, then told her to go away.
The Police Officers in Sango could not help this young orphan even after hearing her story. By that time, I had gotten past my bus stop and it was getting really late so I had to go home. This young girl however continued on her journey to God knows where.
(Please note that the Police in Sango Police Station threatened us to delete the video and not post it, that we they’d trace us.) I had to create a burner so as to post this video. All of this happened yesterday 10th of August 2020″.
The page beckoned on well meaning Nigerians to help the girl. Watch the video that was shared below,

The full uncensored footage of Minneapolis officers arresting George Floyd before he died has been released to the public.
The video was initially only available to journalists and few members of the public, but a Hennepin County judge has now ruled that the video be made available for publication.
The video comes from the body cameras of former Minneapolis officers, Thomas Lane and J. Kueng, who are part of four officers involved in George Floyd’s murder.
The footage shows officers arriving at the scene after a complaint that Floyd had attempted to pass a fake $20 bill to buy cigarettes at Cup Foods, a store in the Powderhorn Park section of Minneapolis.
A staff member holding the banknote approaches the officers, saying,
‘Before they drive off. He’s parked right here. It’s a fake bill from the gentleman,’ he tells the cops.
Lane and Kueng both went to Floyd’s blue Mercedes SUV on the other side of the street. Floyd was in the car with his ex-girlfriend, Shawanda Hill, is in the back seat and a friend, Maurice Hall, is in the front
The footage then shows officer Thomas Lane tapping on the window of Floyd’s SUV to confront him about the allegation. When he opened the door Lane pulls out his handgun and points it straight at Floyd’s head.
He then starts pleading with the officers, “Please don’t shoot me, man,” a crying Floyd says. “I just lost my mom, man. I’m so sorry” in the minutes before his death on May 25.
‘Put your f***ing hands up right now! Let me see your other hand,’ the cop is heard saying to Floyd.
Floyd does not immediately put his hands on the wheel. ‘Put your f***ing hand up there,’ Lane orders him again. ‘Jesus Christ, keep your f**king hands on the wheel.’
Floyd tells the officer he had been shot before, and Lane replies: ‘Keep your f***ing hands on the wheel.’
Lane then tells Floyd to put his foot inside the vehicle. ‘I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,’ Floyd replies. ‘God dang man. Man, I got shot the same way, Mr. Officer, before.’
‘Okay. Well when I say ”Let me see your hands,” you put your f***ing hands up,’ Lane responds.
‘Please don’t shoot me, man,’ a crying Floyd says. ‘I just lost my mom, man. I’m so sorry.‘
“I’m not that kind of guy,” Mr Floyd says as he struggles against the officers. “I just had COVID, man, I don’t want to go back to that.”
An onlooker can be heard pleading with Mr. Floyd to stop struggling, saying: “You can’t win.” Mr. Floyd replies, “I don’t want to win.”
A few minutes later, Mr. Floyd was pinned to the ground for nearly 8 minutes and was heard crying in agony, saying “I can’t breathe” before he goes still.”
Derek Chauvin, who held his knee against Mr. Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes, is charged with second-degree murder.
Retired investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has said that ladies aged between 18 to 35 years who have saggy breasts sleep around a lot.

She then advised young ladies to always lockdown their boobs like oranges.
She tweeted… “If you are between 18-35 and your breasts are sagging, you sleep around a lot. Hormonal loss. See my breast at 56yo Mama has spoken Lockdown your boobs like oranges.”
A male follower took to her reply section and insinuated that she’s wearing pushup bra but she countered his opinion, insisting she wore no pushup bra in the attached photo.

For the record, they did not shower together, however, Dorathy has intended to slow down things or probably withdraw herself from him because she sees him playing games with her and she has also realized her arch-rival, Nengi is close to Brighto.

Russia President, Vladimir V. Putin announces the approval of the first coronavirus vaccine “Sputnik V” on Tuesday morning despite testing concerns. He also disclosed that his daughter was among the first to be inoculated.
In a statement at a cabinet meeting, Putin says that the vaccine which was developed by the Gamelei Research Centre in Moscow has undergone proper testing and has been proven to be effective in forming immunity against the deadly pathogen which has caused a global pandemic.
“It works effectively enough, forms a stable immunity and, I repeat, it has gone through all necessary tests.” – Mr. Putin
This disclosure has led to a lot of raised eyebrows in the international scene. The skepticism is because the vaccine didn’t complete the phase 3 clinical trials which usually take months, to confirm its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of the coronavirus.
The Russian health ministry has stated that medical workers, teachers and other front-line workers will be the first to be vaccinated, with plans to begin in October. Vladimir Putin declared that inoculation is not mandatory and it would only be carried out on voluntary individuals.
The number of coronavirus cases has risen above 20 million and 700,000 deaths worldwide since the outbreak was identified in Wuhan, China late last year. Hence, “Sputnik-V” might just be a ray of sunshine in the darkness. The Russian vaccine is hoped to be in general circulation by January, 2021.
US-based Nigerian UFC Welterweight Champion, Kamaru Usman and his daughter have been seen in a video putting up an amazing choreography.

The boxing champ executed some dance kicks and leg works with his daughter while gyrating to the beautiful collaboration between Wizkid and DJ Tunez.
In April of 2020, around the time the novel Coronavirus started hitting the country, President of the United States, Donald Trump, promised to send ventilators to Nigeria to help in the fight against the deadly disease.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, revealed this during a media briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Tuesday, April 28, 2020.
He said the United States President made the promise during a phone call with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Lai Mohammed said at the time,
“President Muhammadu Buhari today had a phone conversation with President Donald Trump, at the request of the American President. The conversation centred on Nigeria’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. President Buhari used the opportunity to brief the American President on the steps that Nigeria is taking to contain the spread of the disease.
For his part, President Trump assured that the United States stand in solidarity with Nigeria in this difficult time and promised to send ventilators to support the country in its fight against the pandemic.”
In a recent development and in fulfillment of the promise made, 200 ventilators have arrived the country from the United States.

Big Brother Naija housemate, Dorathy, has spoken on the situationship she finds herself in with Ozo and Nengi.
Although all three housemates involved in the love triangle are yet to admit they nurse romantic, viewers can’t help but notice the vibes they’ve been giving off on the show.
In a recent ‘garden discussion’ Dorathy had with Lucy, she gave a hint of her plan to remove herself from any relationship that would derail her focus in the game.
Dorathy can be heard telling Lucy that she has decided she’d no longer humiliate herself.
In her words ;
I am not involved in all those things,
I am not humilating myself further, it’s not that deep.
The fifth season of the Big Brother Naija show kicked off on Sunday, July 19, 2020, and in keeping with tradition, the new season was aptly named after prevailing social circumstances, Big Brother Naija Lockdown.
Since it began, non-stop conversations about the show have been trending on social media. According to Keyhole, a digital media monitoring tool, Big Brother Naija related conversations reach an audience of 370 million online every day, and that in the last five days, over 760,000 users around the world have published content about the show on the internet. This is in addition to the 40 million TV audience watching from all over Africa.
Besides talking about their favourite housemate, social media users found a new conversation starter in the first few days of the show – the aesthetics of the house. Long time followers of the show commended the new look of the house, praising its ambience and attention to detail.
The new decor of the house was put together by Olajumoke Ogunnaike of Lefteye’s Signature and feeds into some new elements introduced into the show this season: the Heads of House now enjoy a personal suite comprising of a private bedroom, fitted bathroom, and a personal lounge/sitting area. Additionally, a salon has been introduced to help the housemates maintain their personal grooming.
While the new look of the house was lauded, not many have stopped to think about how much would have been invested to achieve all that we see on our screens. However, investigations from sources close to the organisers of the show recently revealed that it cost about N2.5 billion to set up the BBNaija Lockdown house.
This figure includes construction costs of over N300 million, N2 billion spent on production equipment such as consoles, cameras, microphones, cables, lighting, audio, and so on. Hundreds of millions also went into the provision of utilities, information technology and safety systems, building modifications, COVID-19 adaptations to the house, etc.
It was further revealed that the company had spent an additional N1 billion or more, on the actual production of the show, including the engagement of over 300 full-time employees and talent involved in the production of the show, in and outside the BBNaija House
Earlier in the year, Accenture released a report measuring the socio-economic impact of MultiChoice in the Nigerian economy. The report revealed that in the past five years, MultiChoice had contributed about N634 billion to the Nigerian economy, investing in Nigeria’s creative sector, content and production infrastructure, and contributing tax and regulatory fees to the coffers of the government. MultiChoice was also shown to have created over 12,000 jobs within the time period in review.
