Read the excerpt from the interview;
What’s the biggest lesson you guys learned in the Big Brother Naija challenge?
Ike: I learned about valuing other people, valuing different personality, and love. I came with the intention I know it all, but I discovered I still have a lot to learn.
You came with that gangster-like attitude to the house, but slowed down afterwards. It seems Mercy tamed that part of you, she influenced you and you mellowed a bit because you didn’t want to wrong her.
Ike: If the truth is 100% that’s like 40%. I realized that I was given strikes and the concept of the show from the beginning was not what I thought, the concept was to showcase and sell yourself. Come in there, act a fool and entertain. When I came in, I started to realize what the show was all about and I started changing, the strikes helped me change. Of course, Mercy did help me change too.
So how’s the journey for you?
Mercy: Ever since I left the house, I learned to be more patient, to respect people’s space. Before the house, I used to be with my friends. I was not used to being in a circle of 25 people and sharing the same bathroom, doing everything together, when you wake up someone is either to your left or to your right. I learned to accommodate people. It was really educative for me, during my stay in the house, there was no pen, no paper, everything we had to do, if you didn’t have it upstairs; then you were not going to perform. During our tasks, the house really shaped me in a positive way. The house helped me. I used to flip at every little thing before, the strikes too like he said mellowed us down, those are the things that I took away from the house.
Did you go to the house hoping you would meet your man?
Never! During my audition I said it, that I was single but not searching. I said to myself I can do it all alone, like I want to play this game alone. I am a big fan of Big Brother Naija. I used to watch the show back to back, I have a particular housemate then I want to be like, during that time I was single, I just want to play it alone and have fun. But when I met Ike, a whole lot of things changed, we started off as best friends, then the house… They started calling us boyfriend and girlfriend even when Ike hasn’t asked me out, they are already instigating, you know when you wake up, you gist and see this person, there are possibilities of falling in love.
Who approached the other first?
Ike: I think I approached Mercy first. I have met Mercy before the house, on actor, model business level but when I came into the house I looked at her as an ally. The house is about nomination, I looked at her as a strong ally.
Mercy: You were using me?
Ike: No, in the beginning we were just friends. I thought, let us do a team work. One time in the house, i said what’s up, I’m a fine boy and you are a fine girl. She told me everything that’s not what I came here for. After seeing everybody’s character in the house, you noticed this person that’s too fake, too annoying, but Mercy seemed like the person I could connect with. I saw some potential in her and I saw similarities in myself. So, I had to chase her and that was it.
Do you have girlfriend in America or Nigeria?
Ike: I have friends that are girls, i haven’t had a girlfriend since February 2018. I was happy being single, extremely happy. Like my first love was money, but when I met Mercy she really started helping me see a lot of things, she made me make some choices in the house that I normally wouldn’t make. I mean that’s love.
People said you were using her in the house. Would really say that you love her genuinely? At some point you forgot about the game, you became a lover boy.
Ike: I thought I was too strong, I wasn’t scared of eviction. I was comfortable with the confidence I have in myself. That’s kind of helping me focusing on Mercy. She’s a difficult lady, I had told her a lot of time to turn on the fire and all.
People felt you were also liking Tacha in the house before you and Mercy bonded
Ike: Throughout the house, everybody was my friend except Joe, especially Tacha. People came up with that idea because Tacha didn’t have a lot of friends. Mercy understands that we discussed it after the house. Me and My Tacha we are friends; Mercy is my number one.
Are you and Tacha still friends?
Of course, we are. I think a friend is a loose term, to me we are definitely cool.
There was a time in the house when Mercy and Tacha were fighting; you were worried but when Mercy reported to you, you became calm and smiling. Are you always like that?
Ike: I know I am too intelligent to know if someone wants to put me in a fight, if you have an issue with Mercy, deal with Mercy, the way I grew up, I like being calm and cool I knew not all that stuff should end up a fight. That stuff is funny, it is entertaining to me. I know Mercy can handle herself. I knew she was good. If I knew the stuff would affect her like that, I would have jumped it, I know she’s good.
At some point you were attracted to Tacha, at what point did Mercy take over your mind?
Ike: The second day in the house, Frodd, Jeff and Seyi were talking about the girls in the house and I just said they are cute, who was cute and all. Mercy was beautiful, it was Seyi that told me Tacha has a boyfriend. Mercy was my first choice.
Mercy: You were my first choice. I wasn’t ready for Ike. I could remember I was chasing him, go and meet other girls, then I meet someone, Ike was the first one, my first choice.
Are you guys considering marriage?
Ike: I think a lot of things happening in our lives, a lot of business and all, but I am holding on to Mercy. I don’t play with my things. So, let’s see how things go.
So, Mercy is that same with you?
Laughs… Yea, same with me.
While in the house, there was a particular day of the week you guys had the heart-to-heart talk and Mercy was all emotional…
Mercy: It always gets to a point, your mind is clouded with a lot of things, the votes don’t matter. What is a vote when you are not happy? I believe at that point, nobody is acting anymore, if you are fighting with someone, it’s real. I fell in love with this man, we were two weeks from the grand finale, I felt that was a perfect moment to let him know things that he needs to know before we get outside the house. I know there was a camera everywhere, it didn’t stop me from saying what I felt and that was my truth. Saying it freed me, now what are you going to say to me? Nothing. At that moment, I said okay, this is your champ. There’s something I felt I should have done that I didn’t do, there’s something I wanted to tell Diane, but I didn’t. I already bought immunity, so the votes weren’t anything to me as of that moment. I hate sympathy, even in the house that’s why you see me act all strong and all. In that house, I put up a strong act, so people can respect me and all, but outside the house, I am nicer than that. That moment I wasn’t doing that for sympathy for people to vote for me, that Friday night before the eviction party. Diane and I had a heart-to-heart talk, though we were a bit intoxicated more than what people think, we couldn’t even hide the feelings we just let it out.
What did you feel when she opened up to you, her family, her background.
Ike: I always feel like, people think where I came from, a lot of things will shock me and me feel bad or something. I was happy that she opened up. While in the house, Mercy was always ahead in the task, but when it comes to games where people share stuff about themselves, she was always quiet. Then, I wanted to know more about her, so when she did that, I was happy, I felt good. I know whatever it is we can handle it together.
Does that mean her background doesn’t matter to you?
Ike: Laughs… Does she even know my own background? It doesn’t really matter. People were thinking if you know her background, you might not really be cool about her and all
Ike: Yea! That’s why I had to show her that night, though we have to comport ourselves in a certain way. Letting her know, your family background doesn’t change you and why I want to be with you, at that point it was too late, she already knew I was seriously in love with her. I wasn’t too shocked or worried I just wanted her to know that- baby, it’s okay.
Eventually, when you guys get married, how many kids do you want to have?
Mercy: Two Ike: I was thinking like six. Mercy: I know you want to pack up this my engine. (Chuckles)
You mentioned that you were into properties, so tell us that aspect of your journey
Mercy: I moved into Lagos last year from Abuja. I met this lady she’s into real estate. I told her I want to learn, she took me to her firm, it was moving on, that was when I started auditioning. We did it throughout last year, we were just working and selling. I was still with her when I started my audition, real estate is what I really wanted to do. Even before working with her, then I used to buy land and resell it. That was what I was doing, but it wasn’t as professional as that woman. After the house, I met with Mr. Ned Okonkwo, he and his wife are willing to support me to achieve my dream as a real estate management or an agent.
They say he’s a very good man, a fantastic fellow…
Mercy: I know him, yeah, he is.
In the house, the sensuality around you guys was too much and people talked about you kissing, caressing and all. So, we were thing did Ike make out with Mercy? They also said the same all over Twitter
Mercy: You know in the morning we were trying to clear it with people that it didn’t happen. From the outset, I told Ike I don’t want to do this thing in the house. I don’t want to have sexual intercourse with him on live TV. We can have fun without having sex. And that aspect was so clear and he was cool with it. In fact, he told me he can stay for one year. That was what he said to me, no matter how pressured we were, we were not going to do this. He tried a lot, even when we were closer. I just say okay, we’ve had enough, this is the end of the road, we have to sleep and that’s how we never did it. At times when I wanted it, he would just tap me and say, you said you didn’t want us to do this and I’d say, okay.
So, you mean you’ve had no sex with him till now?
Yea, nothing has happened, but it’s not going to be like a one-year thing. It will happen, we don’t pretend, it might even be this night. Definitely, it will happen. He is a sweet guy, I have heard other guys tell him, give her alcohol and all, but he still kept his calm. He’s a good guy, but there was a day he said, I will get this, I must get this then I told him that means I won’t be drinking in the house again. I won’t be playing with you this way anymore, I play with you this way because I know you, trust you. But he was like I seriously need it and all, then I told him I will be wearing jeans to bed and all, then he saw I was really serious then he said okay. It’s nothing, but we had fun in the house.
After the house, have you guys sat down and planned for the future because you have a lot of connection?
Mercy: Ike and I will definitely work together, he’s very ambitious, Ike wants to make money. The only thing Ike likes is money. His password is money. Whether dating or not, we will work together, but we will be dating.
Have you spoken to any of his family?
Mercy: I have spoken to his mom, uncle, and aunt, cousins, almost everybody.
Has he spoken or met any of your family?
Mercy: Yes oo, he has spoken to many, even met with uncle Uzo.
Ike: Her mum and I had a small talk.
What’s friendship to you guys?
Ike: Friendship is a connection to someone you can trust, they are loyal to you. You are equally loyal to them. You keep each other happy. I think that’s what friendship is.
Tell us briefly about your formative years
Ike: When I was in fifth grade, I never really had too many friends. I have this childhood friend that we grew up together, they are all Nigerian, but we grew up in the United States. When I was in school I was always to myself. I was always by myself, I didn’t want anybody close, he was selling CDs, candy. Then I met a guy, Anthony, he said men! I see your spirit. We started selling stuff online, on eBay. I was making money more than I could imagine, that was in my sixth grade. I was like 12 or 13years old. At 14 I started buying things for myself, clothes and all. Myself and Anthony, we’ve been on it since, this entrepreneur. That really taught me about friendship, though I don’t have too many friends and all. The ones I have are close enough and good for me.
Mercy: Growing up is not something that I really want to talk about. My growing up was not sweet, but I thank God for today. We went through thick and thin, there’s nothing I haven’t done, I have sold fuel with my mom, my mom used to sell black market. I am selling fuel, roasting corn, I have done a dry cleaning business before. My mom used to take-up people’s farm and we work there, we farm for them, I have been through it. I am proud of where I am coming from, it is what made me who I became today and I’m never going to forget where I am coming from. It gives me the zeal, the hunger, I need to help my family, my mom. I am well focused because I know a lot of things are waiting for me, my growing up is not a bed of roses, but I am grateful, it made me this focused, ambitious. I have friends that they don’t even call their family, what they make is for themselves alone. During school, I used to be in school and I will be sending money home. I see people go home, they come back, their parents will give them money and foodstuff, anytime you see me go home, na me dey always buy go home. That’s my root, that’s where I am coming from and it has helped me. My goal is to have money I can’t count.
What did you study and where?
Mercy: Psychology, at Imo State University.
Ike: I started with Mechanical Engineering; that was too difficult, so I came down to Mathematics, I finished with that. That was University of Houston.
Let’s get down to entertainment, who do you listen to?
Ike: I like Young Six, I like rap and hip-hop. Nigeria music is cool I love it, I like Wizkid, Rema, Patonranking and Phyno. Anything that falls in the category of rap, in that lane, Future is my number one rapper in the world, my favorite right now.
Mercy: I like Tiwa Savage, Simi, Davido, Wizkid, I like Flavour, Phyno and Don Jazzy. They all just give us different vibes.
What was the biggest mistake you ever made in your life?
Mercy: I made some money, but I used it to do a big girl. That money never came back until Big Brother Naija. I spent it all, I love bags and shoes. But now those things have changed, no, it’s all about making money, there are no more shoes and bags; it’s about investing. This is a grown-up Mercy.
Ike: One of the things I think about is my childhood, I love sports, basketball. My parents told me you need to focus on your academics. If I could go back in time to change one thing, I would be doing sports, I would be in NBA right now. Over my life, I never try to have any regrets, they are like your low; you have to move on.
Are there things you desire in life?
Ike: Too many things, the list is so long, that’s why I have too much ambition too much I want to do.
Your woman is very hard working
Yea, I agree, she’s very hardworking.
Advice to your younger self
Ike: Be strong, believe in yourself; try not to be like every other person, be the best of you.
Mercy: I agree with him, be real. Be yourself.
What’s your biggest fear in life?
Mercy: Failure Ike: Going broke!
What can Ike do that will make you get angry and not talk to him for two days?
Mercy: If Ike cheats on me, I love him with my whole heart, I don’t know how to forgive. I can forgive you, but I don’t know how to forget. I give what I can take. Once my trust is broken, that is, he doesn’t seem like a player.
Ike: if he steals from me, she doesn’t even know how to steal, she asks.
If someone comes to tell you things about mercy, that she did this and that, what would be your reaction?
Ike: I can’t believe anything. That could have worked before Big Brother Naija, but after the show, I can’t believe what anyone says.
Mercy: His past is his past, only when I catch him, if not, since we came out a lot of people are forwarding stuffs that are discouraging and all. But I can’t believe, only when I catch him.
What do guys have to say to Big Brother Naija?
Mercy: Big Brother has changed me a lot, I can’t thank him enough. Now I feel like I am old, I have to calculate, like 6 am I am awake taking calls, replying emails. Big Brother has really done something great. I don’t have regrets going to that house.
Ike: thank you big brother, I live with no regrets.
Mercy: The people out there trying to go to Big Brother Naija house, do not be disqualified, be yourself. Fight and go home? No, the people who have been voting for you, they’ve been spending their money on you, it feels like a let down; if you go there next year, don’t get disqualified.
Ike: Go in there and do your thing.
Mercy: Big Brother picked you to change you and be the best.

More than 20 persons were reportedly crushed to death after a trailer loaded with farming produce overran several tricycles popularly known as Keke Napep, on Tuesday, at Vunokilang bridge (Hayin Gada) in Yola, Adamawa State.
Residents said that the accident was caused by police officers, who were pursuing the truck driver for refusing to give them money.
A resident of Vunokilang, Malam Umar Shehu, who also sent pictures of the accident to reporters said he participated in evacuation of corpses to the Specialist hospital in Yola.

“But, there was no foreign rice in the truck, it was farm produce. The driver said they were chasing him for refusing to give them money at a checkpoint the police mounted,” Umar said.
Another resident Fidelis Jockthan said he counted several Keke Napeps destroyed by the trailer.

A 20-year-old boy identified as Eyitoluwa Olayeye, has been arrested by the Austin Police Department for reportedly killing his mother.
Eyitoluwa, a University of Texas student was arrested after the police responded to a emergency call made by the Holiday Inn Express at 805 Neches St. just before 5 a.m. on Wednesday November 6.
48-year-old Kehinde Olayeye had flown to Austin from Georgia with her sister to visit Eyitoluwa on Tuesday November 5, after he was released from Dell Seton medical center where he underwent a psychiatric evaluation for touching someone inappropriately at University of Texas library.
Kehinde’s sister told the police that the suspect kept saying “I pray that God brings us together” on phone before his friends told his mother what happened on campus, prompting the unplanned visit to Austin. His aunt also said the boy told them that the hospital was trying to hold him because of a mental issue, but he “just told them what they wanted to hear so they would let him go.”
A security guard at the Holiday Inn told investigators he heard loud noises coming from Eyitoluwa’s room around 4:30 a.m and asked them to keep it down. But he said the noises grew louder and it sounded like people were fighting and banging on the wall.
The policemen found him lying on the back of his mother who was face down on the floor. “A bloody pillow was observed inside the room,” the affidavit revealed. Austin-Travis County EMS medics tried to resuscitate Kehinde Olayeye but she was pronounced dead at 6:12 a.m.
Eyitoluwa who had wounds on his left elbow and bicep, a swelling on the right side of his face and a bruise on the inside of his right bicep told the police he is a junior at UT and went to class on Tuesday. He told investigators he was in class at UT on Tuesday, played basketball at the rec center, and then went to the UT Tower to pray.
Eyitoluwa also told investigators that he remembered being taken to the hotel by his aunt and mother, lying on the bed with his mother who prayed for him before finding himself at the back of a police car with no idea of how he got there.
Eyitoluwa Olayeye is currently charged with aggravated assault and a second-degree felony as it was further gathered that his late mother suffered a deep skull hemorrhaging, hemorrhaging around the neck, lacerations to her inner mouth and petechial hemorrhaging, as well as soft signs of strangulation.

It’s not village people, juju or charm. Penis captivus is a rare occurrence during sexual intercourse when the muscles in the vagina clamp down on the penis much more firmly than usual, making it impossible for the penis to be withdrawn from the vagina.
Penis captivus occurs more frequently in animals than it does in humans. And it’s not uncommon to see animals that “are stuck together” after sex, particularly dogs
If a partner feels penis captivus starting to happen, they should try to stay calm. Added stress can lead to more muscular tension, which can make the phenomenon last longer. It is important not to try to force the penis out of the vagina. Doing so can hurt one or both partners.
“I must tell you it is no myth,” wrote one woman who asked to remain anonymous. “It happened to my late husband and myself one night. He literally could not withdraw…I attributed it to the intensity of the vaginal muscle response during orgasm.”
Braden DeMartin, 22, has died along side his 23-year-old friend after his Porsche boxter crashed into the second storey of a building.
Braen was speeding in his $50,000 Porsche boxter with his friend, Daniel Foley by his side when a fun ride quickly degenerated into a tragedy. The Porsche hit a center median, struck an embankment and rammed into the second floor of a commercial building in New Jersey more than 15 feet above ground. They died on the spot.
Friends and family took to social media to pay tributes to the pair.
Foley’s girlfriend posted on Facebook:
‘I loved you with every atom and molecule that make up my body. I will always love you. Our relationship was one of the greatest love stories I will remember. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for showing me how much I could love someone.’
‘Although we went out separate ways a little bit ago I will always be grateful for you, for the laughs and lessons we had, for every touch we shared and I will always love you.
‘I’m sick to my stomach writing this and I wish this was all just a bad dream. I’m speechless and I wish I had more to say, I do but I can’t seem to put the right ones together. Praying for your family. I wish I could have seen you one last time. I wish this wasn’t real. Rest softly and peacefully sweet boy.’
On Sunday night ( Nov.10), Drake was booed off stage at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, as he was brought on stage as a surprise headliner.
The bitter crowd who were said to be expecting Frank Ocean made their feelings clear when the Canadian rapper stormed the stage.
In the middle of his performance, the 33-year-old tried to calm the bitter crowd. “Make some noise for yourself tonight,” Drake said. “I’m here for you tonight. If you want to keep going, I will keep going. What’s up?”
The unhappy crowd who clearly didn’t want him to keep going began to loudly boo him. “If you want to keep going,” he said again, “I will keep going tonight.”
As the scream of “no” got louder, Drake said: “It’s been love,” he said as he left the stage, ending his performance 20 minutes early. “I love ya’ll. I go by the name of Drake. Thank you for having me.”
Taking to Instagram to address the embarrassing moment, the rapper dropped a major plot twist as he revealed he has signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw, where he was booed and will be performing every single year at the festival for the ‘kids’ until they turn 30.
Sharing the photo, the Canadian rapper wrote ;
“Plot twist… just signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw. sorry kids see you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30.”
The police in Kaduna state have arrested a former chairman of Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited (PAN) Sani Dauda for giving out his daughter, Nasiba in marriage.
Equally arrested along with Dauda who is also the Chairman of ASD motors, was the judge of Magan jingari Sharia court in Kaduna north local government area, Murtala Nasir who consummated the marriage held on Saturday, November 9, 2019 and Shehu Dauda, one of the sons of Alhaji Sani Dauda..
The three of them were arrested on Monday, November 11, and are being detained at the Special Anti Robbery Squad office of the Kaduna state police command .
According to lawyer to the accused persons, Sani Katu, the arrest of the accused persons was allegedly masterminded by former husband of Nasiba Dauda, one Abubakar Musa Abubakar who claimed to be a close associate of the Inspector general of police , Abubakar Adamu.
He said that Abubakar, who was not happy with the second marriage between Nasiba Sani Dauda and her new husband, boasted that he wiiuse his connection with the Inspector general of police to deal with whoever was involved in the consummation of the marriage.
The Sharia court judge however, explained that they were arrested for conducting a new marriage between Abdulllahi Kaluma and Nasiba Sani Dauda , the daughter of Alhaji Sani Dauda on Saturday, November 9, 2019, after her first marriage with Abubakar Musa Abubakar from Kebbi state was officially collapsed on 5th January , 2018.
He explained that the marriage followed due process in line with Islamic laws and the Nigerian Constitution ..
On his part , Alhaji Sani Dauda explained that he gave out his daughter to her new husband after she had officially divorced her first husband, Abubakar Musa Abubakar since January 2018.
He explained that Abubakar who claimed to have a close relationship with the IGP , vowed to deal with him even when there was an existing divorce certificate between him and his daughter Nasiba dated 5th January 2018.
” The marriage between Nasiba, the daughter of Alhaji Sani Dauda, the chairman of ASD motors and her former husband, Abubakar Musa Abubakar ended since January 5,2018. And since then, there was no problem, or was there any existing order restraining her or her family from conducting a new marriage . So, on Saturday, November 9, I conducted a new marriage between Nasiba and her new husband, Abdullahi kullama.
Surprisingly, on Monday November 11, at about 4pm, I was with Alhaji Sani Dauda and many others at his compound when police operatives surrounded his compound, saying they were there to arrest us on the order of rhw inspector general of police, Abubakar Adamu.
The officers invited us verbally to the police command headquarters without any warrant of arrest. Later on , we transfered to the Special Anti Robbery Squad office, where we were detained allegedly on the orders of the Inspector general of police until further notice”.
As at 6am on Tuesday morning, both Sani Dauda and the Sharia court judge were still detained at the Special anti Robbery Squad office with family relations pushing for their prompt release.
Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer.(PPRO), Kaduna State Command, DSP Yakubu Sabo as at time of filing this report proved abortive as he failed to pick calls to his mobile line, or reply message sent to his WhatsApp account.
