Big Brother Naija housemate, Mercy seems to be gaining international fame, as she caught the attention of American model and socialite, BlacChyna.
The American Model followed her on Instagram some hours ago, an action which generated wild excitement from Nigerians, especially Mercy’s fans.
Also, in an interesting turn of event, with Tacha‘s disqualification, some Titans (Tacha’s fans)and celebrities have recently decamped to Mercy‘s team.
While some blamed switch on the trolls from Cyber bullies, others claimed that Tacha‘s behaviour could not let them stick to her anymore.
Mercy’s stake to the game of Big Brother Naija’s throne gets stronger by the day and we can’t help but wait to see who sits on the Iron Throne.

Twitter user, Ojugo Onyeluka (@GentleOjay), he spoke with Mr Nwabia’s wife and she confirmed the passing of her husband.
“His wife was sobbing uncontrollably. I was also too emotionally broken to ask him why the transfusion had to be done so urgently” Onyeluka said.
His last Tweets were on September 25th and it reads,
‘Oh well, let bygones be bygones’.
Oh well, let bygones be bygones. #FreeSowore
Then another reads ;
“Stanley Nwabia, what is the pathway to securing a resilient future for your family?”
Me: That time when rain was falling, I take umbrella outside. I come and see plenty people inside rain. But plenty breeze started blowing, it come and spoil my umbrella. So I come and go inside
Some of his associates have also tweeted confirmation of his passing and hailed him as a courageous political commentator and patriot. Nwabia is popular amongst supporters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, which he used his Twitter handle (@MrStanleyNwabia) to champion online.
A native of Abia State, Nwabia was born in Lagos and lived there throughout his life. He was survived by his wife and four children.
Nigerian rapper, Vector drops a new diss song for MI Abaga, tagged this “Tetracycling”. The rapper takes on MI, just after the Hennessy Cyper.
Vector is not kidding about this rap fight with Abaga who is as yet thinking that its difficult to answer him after the arrival of ‘The Purge’.
Vector says if Abaga likes harmony he ought not take a stab at defying him, he should preferably run since he is called King Kong which is as it should be.
Warri-based Instagram celebrity, Freedom Astepoyi A.K.A Mr. Jollof, has taken to his page to show off his excitement as he confirmed receipt of Jaruma’s gift of 1 Million Naira for speaking against Tunde Ednut’s “hatred” towards Tacha.
While sharing the screenshot of the alert he received on his IG page, he wrote;
“The Queen mother @jaruma_empire just melt my oil with N1,000,000 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ chai I don well o”
In another post, Mr Jollof revealed that he threatened to beat up Tunde Ednut because he felt Tunde’s was doing too much against Tacha and wanted to drive her into depression and possible suicide before he would be contented.
Big Brother Naija’s Ex, Tacha is still giving viewers of the show many things to talk about even after she left the house under troubling circumstances.
The Disqualified housemate, unfollowed the official Big Brother Naija handle on Instagram.
Tacha was disqualified on Friday night for getting into a ‘fight’ with fellow housemate, Mercy who was issued ‘two strikes’ as well.
See the screenshots below ;
However, Big Brother’s account is still following Tacha..
This is coming after it was reported that Tacha’s management called out the organizers of Big Brother Naija, who they accused of holding Tacha hostage after she refused to grant an interview after her disqualification from the show.
It might be safe to say Tacha does not want anything to do with the Show at the point.
Veteran Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman has shared his thoughts on the current situation in the country and how some Nigerians are channeling so much energy into the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality show.
According to the rapper, Nigerian Youths act weak ‘when it comes to a political or police brutality issue that affects their lives personally, but spend their energy on frivolous things like blasting celebrities and supporting BBNaija.
Read his full article below…
Dear Nigerians,
Coming from hosting (without one corporate sponsor) a very successful #TheFoundationConcert that celebrated great Nigerians, I thought to say a few words to you. Have you seen any youth calling out celebrities for not supporting BBN house mates? No. They gathered themselves and are doing a great job on their own. They raised money amongst themselves to print tshirts, even going as far as holding campaign rallies and parties.
But when it comes to a political or police brutality issue that affects their lives personally, they will act weak and instead spend this same energy bashing celebrities for not speaking up. These are the same people who do not need any assistance to support bbn housemates with everything they have got.
So who is fooling who?
NIGERIANS ARE NIGERIAS PROBLEM & UNTIL YOU STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT, NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
I have nothing against the choices you make. You can choose to celebrate negativity or positivity. But just know that you can do these same things to help the lives of all Nigerians and not just BBN housemates.
BBN is a private business that’s enriching some people. Nigeria is our country that can enrich or atleast make life good for us all. Choose your fight wisely.
Big Brother Naija housemates Mercy and Diane have been accused of practicing lesbianism in the house after old videos showed them kissing each other on two different occasion.
Since Tacha got disqualified from the show following her physical assault on Mercy, fans who were dissatisfied that Mercy got two strikes have been digging up reasons for Biggie to disqualify her too.
Diane
In Big Brother’s rule book, that behavior is strictly prohibited and might lead to disqualification.
The prohibited behaviour includes violence, homo-sexuality/Same sex relationship and offence.
Fans have now dug up videos showing Mercy and Diane kissing on the lips, calling them lesbians.
Watch videos below.
Yesterday I post mercy is a lesbian but is fans are shouting and commenting rubbish, hope u can see the evidence now #BBNaijapic.twitter.com/D7SEyN12j5
Here’s a quote from the rule book about homosexuality ;
“Please bear in mind that homosexuality/same sex relationship/LGBT remains a criminal offence in Nigeria and as such will not be tolerated in the house. The country does NOT allow or recognise LGBT rights and there is a maximum 14 year prison sentence for any person(s) found guilty. Any house-mate that engages in any form of homo-sexual or same sex relationship act will be disqualified.”
There has been a lot of party drama in past Saturdays but last night was a night of catharsis as housemates were in sober mood reflecting the events that have happened since the day 1.
What is the Pepper Dem Party without the drama we often get from the Housemates? This time we got served doses of it by Mercy and Ike. It got so hot that bucket of tears was even shed.
After every Saturday Party, the Icy pair has always entertained us with their moments of sweet words and lovey-dovey. Tonight was a little different as Mercy couldn’t hide her fears about their future together. To her, Ike might not be able to cater to her needs, most especially her family needs which she claimed might overwhelm him. Ike’s reply, in his soft speaking manner, was, “I won’t disappoint you.”
We understand how much Mercy wished Ike could understand her. But the way she went all emotional about it tonight further heightened her fears. Worried if Ike could really take care of her, she told him, “I’m a big commodity.” A statement which we felt should hit Ike, but the resident good guy calmed her with reassuring words. Seeing her friend in tears, Diane felt concerned and joined her, taking turns to share her own experience. Talk about friendship goals.
Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Olusegun Runsewe, on Saturday continued his attack on Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye, saying his impact on society is worse than Ebola disease.
Runsewe insisted Bobrisky poses ”serious hazards” to Nigerian youths, he also said if Bobrisky’s activities were not promptly curtailed, the resultant effect would be worse than Ebola outbreak.
Bobrisky
Runsewe urged Nigerian youths to stop imitating Bobrisky, by remaining ”responsible and good ambassadors of the nation.”
”Bobrisky is a national disaster, an embarrassment to the country, engaging in cultural corruption as a cross-dresser and we have to start to curtail his activities before it gets out of hand. We will not allow Bobrisky to destroy the future of our youths and the unborn Nigerians,” he said.
Runsewe said that when the cross-dresser’s birthday was halted in Lekki, Lagos by the police recently, it was revealed that he had been training some Nigerian youths to toe the same line with him. He said immediately the cross dresser’s party was halted a good number of the boys he was training left him. “So that was an achievement”, he said.
Big Brother Naija housemate, Mercy was reduced to tears as she shared her family story with Diane, Ike and other housemates.
Mercy while narrating her family story with other housmates, disclosed that she is the only graduate in her family as her brothers didn’t even attend secondary school and cannot speak English.
An emotional Mercy couldn’t hold back her tears while telling her family story was consoled by her best friend in the house, Diane who reassured her that everything will be fine.
See video below ;
Diane sheds tears while Mercy tells her story. That’s true friendship between the two in #BBNaija. A girl should win this year’s show. Either of the two, I’m good with it. pic.twitter.com/6OEJ534ISc
Mercy who just turned a year older today, also revealed that her sister married early to get a chance to go to school but her dreams couldn’t come to reality after her husband died.

Tacha has literally being a trending topic on Social Media, with many folks taking a ride on the train, talking about her and all of that.
Tunde Ednut is one who has really shown his ‘dislike’ for the disqualified housemate, and this isn’t far fetched.
Tunde has on multiple occasions, used his Instagram page to call out the ‘entrepreneur’, and says he’s going to make sure she doesn’t win the reality show, or probably get kicked out. The musician turned, comedian turned blogger also had his followers turn on Tacha.
When Tacha was disqualified, he was so excited, he couldn’t hide his excitement from his page.
Comedian, Mr. Jollof has now vowed to beat up the blogger, over his ‘hatred’ for the reality tv star.
Taking to his Instagram story, Jollof wrote; “Tunde Ednut is just a biter soul, how on earth will you hate Tacha that is trying to grow? I understand his bitterness because he is always a failure in everything he lay his hands on.”

Media personality, Adesuwa Onyenokwe, who granted a special interview with two of Biodun Fatoyinbo’s former spiritual mentors, has said a pregnant married woman, has also come forward to accuse Biodun Fatoyinbo of sexually assaulting.
Adesuwa who appeared on Arise TV to speak on her special interviews on the rape allegations against Fatoyinbo, said,
There is a lot of cases we could have brought put when we found out. There is a woman who was pregnant for her husband at the time that this said Pastor did rape her.
That woman is still married to her husband. Can she ever publicly come out and say this is what this man did to me? She can’t because first of all, most of the young girls he has done this to are married. How many men in Nigeria are like Timi Dakolo?
Adesuwa added that she spoke to Busola’s sisters who told her they feel guilty because they were the ones who took Busola to the church and made her become a member. The sisters told her that they trusted him so much and never believed he could do such a thing to their younger sister.
“I met her sisters. They feel so guilty. They say Busola was the most holy of all of them. They took her to that church. I asked her if the pastor kept asking to take your sister out, wouldn’t you stop or follow her? They trusted the pastor”
The media personality said from her investigations, Pastor Fatoyinbo may be ill and needs help.
Ex-Big Brother Naija Housemate, Tacha, might be out of the reality TV show but the drama she’s always embroiled in is still playing nice and well as it appears the management of Big Brother Naija have not granted her permission to go home.
According to the post shared by Jaruma, Tacha is being held hostage over her refusal to grant any sort of interview to media outlets (which is normal when housemates get evicted).
However, in Tacha’s case, she does not see the need to grant any interview because she was disqualified from the show and not evicted.
@bigbronaija You USED Tacha to make SO MUCH MONEY! She was up every week & we voted for her EVERY SINGLE WEEK THEREFORE WE WILL NOT ALLOW U TO USE & TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER ANY LONGER!!!!! @bigbronaija Please RELEASE TACHA NOW!!!!
See post below;
Someone from her management also took to Twitter to write; “@BBNaija held Tacha hostage after disqualifying her and insisting she must grant them interview. Surrounded the whole place with mopol and soldiers. When I said this show this season is Tacha it seemed I was making mouth. In less than 24hrs rating dropped.”
“The @BBNaija people got Soldiers and Mopol to surround the entrance to the room where Tacha is refusing her management to gain access to her insisting she must grant interview after unfairly removing her from the show out of bias.”
“….It is a rallying call! @BBNaija @Ebuka release Tacha to her management. You can’t disqualify her and still hold her hostage. Disqualifying her cancels all contracts you had with her. Why insist on holding her hostage till next week? We dong need your interviews. #ReleaseTacha”

Nigerian actor and Model, Mofe Duncan has frowned on Jaruma‘s plan to give Tacha N50m.
Jaruma took to Instagram state clearly that she just needed time to evaluate the situation (deleting Tacha’s photos after her disqualification) and that she still cares so much about Tacha.
She further mentioned that she would give Tacha N50m as compensation for being disqualified from the house.
Mofe Duncan however has frowned on the idea, insisting that N50m cannot buy good character because no matter what she (Tacha) eventually achieves with the money, she would still need character to maintain the wealth.
Talent Manager, Teebillz has said he believes Tacha is “the most bankable brand out of all” the Big Brother Naija season 4 housemates as he defended her in a new post on social media.
According to him, he will rather accept her for being wrong and being herself than to accept hypocrites.
He declared he will make Tacha “the biggest brand out of Africa….. Bigger than Big brother it self.”
His words :
“I will rather accept Tacha for being wrong and being her self than you FAKE ass hypocrites……. The most bankable brand out of all them!!! We are all work in progress in our little ways! I’ve never watched the show besides SM. I LOVE REAL ONES. Love you TACHA! My opinion of empathy to change so keep yours to your page!!!! STUPID ppl will debate on others flaws meanwhile someone else is making money off their DUMB ASS debate about TACHA #! She will come out and make more money than your stupid ass off SM!!!!”
“No be joke I will make Tacha the biggest brand out of Africa….. Bigger than Big brother it self! Tacha is the Kim K of Africa!!! pls connect me with her I want to be her Business manager.”

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of a former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said youths of today are lazy and not ready to work.
Speaking on a Lagos Television programme on this morning, Tinubu said her New Era Foundation Patience Home had concluded plans to empower youths in her senatorial district.
She was quoted to have said most of the youths in Lagos would come to her husband’s house, claiming “they want to enjoy Asiwaju’s money.”
She, however, expressed displeasure that “most of these youths don’t want to work”, adding that “the moment you give them work to do, they fall sick.”
Remi Tinubu added that youths of nowadays are interested in making quick money, “but they don’t want to work before making the money. Our youths are very rude because they want to be like all those people abroad.”
Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday who was a die-hard supporter of Tacha before her disqualification has opened up about the criticisms she endured from Nigerians for being a top fan of Big Brother Naija housemate, Tacha.
She took to her Instagram page to make her opinion known.
She wrote:
Omo fear internet ooo,I know I can be very rude sometimes with my reply to Trolls,But there is a limit? Kai I fear who no fear Nigerians?

Nigerian Singer Jaywon took to his Instagram page to address haters of former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tacha who was recently disqualified from reality show.
Recall that Tacha was disqualified for physical violence during a fight with fellow housemate, Mercy. Mercy, on the other hand, was issued two strikes by Big Brother for not stepping away from a volatile situation.
Jaywon, in his post, stated that 90% of her haters are still broke and poor.
He wrote;
“90 percent of y’all hating on tacha are still broke and poor. No be she be your problem!! I Dey my house! Talk shit and get blocked ??????”
Relationship blogger, Blessing Okoro, has reacted to the new song by music star, Paul Okoye aka RudeBoy, titled Audio Money, which prominently featured her busted ”fake-it-till-you-make-it” scandal.
Blessing said she is glad she inspired the song that preaches against living a fake life.
In her words ;
Glad I inspired the song. The song is titled Audio , meaning fake . The song is about people who live fake life to oppress others and make you feel like you are not doing well for yourself. This young girl as you can see in the video went to snap pictures in someone’s house and claimed it was her own and got embarrassed and humiliated. The lessons Do not run faster than your shadow Take life easy One step at a time . Success is success anytime you attain it you will be celebrated. You are doing ok for yourself Instagram is just a social entertainment.. My name is Okoro Blessing Am glad to be an inspiration to the world .

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tacha, may be out from the house but she is definitely not down as she is guaranteed to rise from the ashes like a phoenix… or like Ofada.
Nigerian Male-Barbie, Bobrisky, who is a staunch supporter of the ‘Tacha Movement’ has promised to give her the sum of ‘1,000,000’ to Tacha before Monday and fans are super excited at the news. Bobrisky, however, did not state the currency he’d gift her as it could be in Pounds, Chinese Yen or Zimbabwean Dollars.

Bobrisky wrote ;

Jaruma says she never forsook, and gave reasons as to why Tacha’s photos were off her page.
The entrepreneur said she only took out time to analyze the whole situation, and now she’s ready to put all her weight behind Tacha, by supporting her with N50 million.
Sweetheart @symply_tacha come home ❤️ U will use this N50,000,000 million naira to EXPAND ur @everythingtacha brand ❤️
Dear friends, I did not forsake Tacha & I will NEVER abandon her! I only took my time to analyze the whole situation & the fact is that she has no one else but us.
Always remember that @symply_tacha Mother is Late so please, please, I beg you to allow her to heal & allow her to lick her wounds ?
Paul Okoye of the defunct Psquare has dropped a sly comment concerning the ongoing Big Brother Naija show and many people think it’s at his estranged twin brother, Peter Okoye, who reportedly promised to give disqualified BBNaija housemate, Tacha, ₦60 million if she fails to win the reality TV show.
Symply Tacha has finally spoken after her disqualification from the Big Brother Naija House yesterday, after a biter fight with Mercy in the early hours of yesterday.
A statement from Tacha obtained by YabaLeftOnline reads;
Dear Titans,
Words cannot readily express how much your love and acceptance means to me at this point. Even my imperfection could not sway your support.
THANK YOU!
Coming out of the Big Brother House disqualified was never my intention. Unfortunately, my weakness played against my strength and cut short what should have been a grand ending, with or without the prize.
I sincerely apologize for every action on my part that led to this point and I take full responsibility for it all.
I am an adult and ought to be in control of my emotions, but I’m human and I failed time and again. Please forgive me. I sincerely wanted to make it, at least to the 99th day.
The fight to be seen and heard takes its toll on everyone of us irrespective of where, when or how it comes. What counts is what we make out of a seemingly ugly situation.
I know I need to work on my emotional health… That’s a fact as I have become conscious of it now. Being on this show has shown me that, I am not just a work in progress but I have the chance to become a better me on all fronts, if I give myself the chance to heal.
And this I promise to give due diligence.
So for what you have been to me, I heard some of you even cried and held vigil for me. I cannot thank you enough. You all became my mother, friends and family and this means so much to me right now. Your prayers, time and resources spent to push me through to this point cannot be quantified in any form, but i sincerely thank you from the depth of my heart.
Against the odds, you all are the reason why I stand and remain hopeful that everything will fall into place, that I can make it through this storm and come out on the sunny side in time.
My social media official handles are open and I can be reached there for now.
Thank you Titans, Thank you to everyone who supported me privately and openly, Thank you Africa, Thank you Nigeria, THANK YOU WORLD!
I saved the best for last. Thank you to the organizers of Big Brother Nigeria for this platform, it may not have ended as I hoped and wanted, but it gave me the opportunity to rise. It was worth it and for this reason, I am grateful.
Mountain Black, one-half of the music group, Danfo Drivers, has said that the music industry neglected his recently deceased colleague, Mad Melon, before his death.
Shortly after news of the artiste’s demise hit the Internet, many artistes mourned his death on social media.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, Mountain Black said,
“Yes, he was neglected (by the music industry). We became popular in 2003, and we had been managing ourselves since then. I believe that with God, all things are possible. We believed in ourselves, and that is why we were still relevant in the industry till now. The industry is very wide; you can fix yourself anywhere and make your money. We were, also, both involved in transportation business.”
