Big Brother Naija 2019 is set to hold after the country’s 2019 Election and Inauguration. According to officials, they do not want the show to be mixed up in politics in any way.
Last year, Big Brother Naija Reality TV show kicked off in January, with it auditions in November, same with 2 years ago.. But right now, for some reasons there has been an unusual silence about the show this year.
According to multiple reports, the show has been put on hold due to the forthcoming general elections in February.
A source from Payporte confirmed that the show will still hold this year, speaking to LI, they said; ‘Big Brother will still hold but because its a political year, we can’t really control to what extent what the housemates will say in the house and we dont want it to become a tool that will heat up the polity’.
The source went on to add that, ‘the show itself normally gets twisted so we don’t want to mix it up with politics in anyway. Its supposed to be entertaining, we wouldn’t want it to be divisive in anyway. If you notice, no religious activity gets discussed in the house too, if you want to pray you can pray, we don’t want anyone to be forced to do it or divide Nigerians along those lines. So after the elections and inaugurations, it’ll happen’.
The last edition of the show kicked off on January 28, 2018 and wrapped up in April with Miracle Ikechukwu emerging winner of the hotly contested reality show.

In the video shared online by Tony Krooz, the mourners can be seen carrying the casket while running and dancing with it as some others played different instruments, like the drum, and sang.
People walking on the street had to run as the mourners approached with the casket.
Sharing the video, Tony wrote:

A 27-year old graduate named Abubakar Abdul Mumin, a student of the Tamale Technical University has made news headlines due to his sheer will and desire to survive.
According to reports, the young man’s story inspires the majority of the youth today as he does several menial jobs as well as sell coconuts to make money.
Narrating his story, he said he started the coconut business at the age of 19.
“My name is Abubakar Abdul Mumin, from Yepeli in the Northern Region of Ghana. I am 27 years and a final year student of Tamale Technical University. I am studying Statistics. I am also the Organiser of the Statistics Department. I won the position in a very hot election.
I didn’t know I could win because I didn’t put any money in that but those who voted for me explained that they like my diligence and ability to unite people. I appreciate. Statistics is a very a very difficult course so I have little time to spare. A lot of my friends think I have left them but my education takes a lot of my time now.
I am always indoors reading and learning new things to master the course. During my long vacations, I take time to teach Mathematics at the Yepeligu Junior High School. I have done that for three years and I do it for free. The School is not far from my place so I can manage. I had a very difficult time in the JHS because even though I like mathematics, we never had a Mathematics teacher throughout my stay. It was hard but I passed. I go to teach because I don’t want them to experience the same difficulties. The children like me and I feel proud.
When I have other opportunities on short vacations, I sell coconut and support my education. I started selling when I was 19. I never get embarrassed when people look down on me because of what I do. I am strong. Peoples opinions do not put me down because I know who I am.
I want to learn to the highest level and achieve my goals. My goal is to make a very good impact on my people in the North and in Ghana. I want to teach. I also want to help my district with my statistics education and compile data that has been overlooked about my people. My brother is the administrator at Karaga District Assembly.
He helps me a lot and I also want to help my parents and siblings wholeheartedly. I have supported myself and paid all my school fees for three years through selling. I move out of Tamale to other regions to sell. Sometimes for two months, I stay with my friends in those areas and then when I have enough, I move back to school. I want to graduate with a good grade, I am currently on second class upper and I feel proud. I will make it one day. Now, I have saved enough to buy my handouts and pay other dues. I will return to school by mid January and complete my school. I believe the future is how you choose to make it, sometimes. I love peace and we must all help make our lives better.”

Ngozi Nwosu in a recent interview said she is waiting on God’s time before she gets married again, to avoid making another mistake. She also blamed Nigerian parents for increase in marriage crash. The veteran actress advised Nigerian parents to stop putting pressure on their kids when it comes to getting married to reduce the high rate of divorce in the nation.
According to her, such pressure might end up making the kids choose the wrong partner and then eventually having them split when things don’t work out. Citing her failed marriage as an example, the 55-year-old beautiful actress in an exclusive interview with Plus TV Africa, said “No Parent should put pressure on their kids to marry, it is better to be late than to marry early and choose wrong. That was part of what happened to me, I was under pressure to marry and things eventually didn’t turn out right”
The actress who admits being single and searching for the right man further said “when you rush to do things because you are ageing or because your mates are doing it, it might be your doom so just live your life and wait till it is the right time. I am waiting on God’s time before I get married again, to avoid making another mistake”

OAP and leader of the Free the Sheeple Movement, Daddy Freeze, has taken to his Instagram page to react to the recently released Forbes list of Africa’s Richest Bilionaires.
According to Freeze, Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga who made the first and second cut on the list, do not pay tithes to any pastor or give first fruits to churches.
He advised Christians not to listen to the messages of the likes of RCCG general overseer, Pastor E. Adeboye or Winners Chappel founder Bishop David Oyedepo, if they want to be rich this year.
Read what he wrote below
Once again those prosperity pastors misled you…. – Where is the prosperity in the land, if we overtook India as the poverty capital of the world and our billionaires became poorer and fewer? – Mike Adenuga was one of the only billionaire that became richer last year and he neither pays tithes nor gives first fruit. In the same vein, the man at the top spot, Aliko Dangote also doesn’t tithe to pastors or churches and neither does he give first fruit. – However, both of Nigeria’s richest men are EXTREMELY CHARITABLE, giving a lot to support the poor, weak and the sick. – It has been shown to us repeatedly by verifiable statistics and empirical studies, that the god of the prosperity doctrine Pentecostals cannot bless anyone with anything except poverty, hardship and sorrow. – If you want to be rich in 2019, stop listening to Adeboye, Oyedepo and the likes of them and stop giving them your money as well, Instead understudy Dangote and Adenuga, while you invest your money. ~FRZ
According to Ihuoma, U.S singer, R.Kelly spotted her at a retail store in South Africa some years back when she was 16 and seemingly took interest in her.
The mother of one says watching the ‘Surviving R.Kelly’ docu-series reminded her of the event, prompting her to assume R.Kelly prefers being with underage girls.
Multiple women have accused R&B legend R.Kelly of sexual misconduct but he has repeatedly denied those allegations.
Her posts :
You guys i actually had an experience with R-kelly.I was about 16 working pertime at a retail store in Sandton (Johannesburg) we heard R-Kelly Was in the mall, The store to see him pass by and i swear we locked eyes.
He stopped and said Hi to me, me out of Everyone?? And was asking me my name when my boss called us back in!!! I was angry at my boss though, But watching this documentary now i’m like wow. Maybe truly underage girls were his type and he was about to show interest.

Nigerian Rapper and Leader of the Sweet Boys Association (SBA) has revealed his new look in his recent post on Instagram.
Falz has decided to reduce his trademark beards to mere stubble and some of his fans cannot believe the way he looks now.
One follower identified as saddidenotnice wrote ; What have u done?
Another wrote : Bro you look sick is everything okay? Where is our beards.
See Photo below :
Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, is a Nigerian singer, rapper, actor, and songwriter. He began his career while in secondary school after forming a group called “The School Boys” with his friend before his professional career as a music artist began in 2009.
American Rapper, Future thinks the world is giving too much attention to R Kelly and the scandal surrounding him.
The rapper stopped by the Power 106 studio during the promotional run for his studio album ‘The WIZRD’. While there, he spoke about everything from his writing skills and upcoming documentary to Lady Gaga and the significance of radio play.
Host J Cruz then asked him if he would record with R. Kelly and Future replied:
Man, who is that? I thought we had forgot about that? We giving it too much attention.
When you give things too much attention, they blow up. That’s why he gon’ blow up. That’s why his music gonna do what it do. If you stop talking about it, it’ll go away.
Future’s statement rubbed a lot of people the wrong way as they pointed out that not giving it attention means that the accusations will die down and sexual predators will thrive and keep going free.
Meanwhile, Future’s 2012 “Parachute” track features R. Kelly and, unlike artists like Lady Gaga and Omarion, Future hasn’t made any mention of retiring the track with the alleged sexual abuser.
American rapper, Eminem reportedly sold more albums than any other artiste in the World in 2018.

Despite releasing his tenth studio album, ‘Kamikaze’, in August of 2018, the Detroit rapper’s surprise project went platinum and was the fourth top-selling album of 2018 (373,067 units). The album including diamond-certified albums ‘The Eminem Show’, and ‘Encore’ catapulted him to the top of the list for the highest selling artist in the world.
Eminem who landed the top slot is followed by ‘Top Artists By Album Sales’ list, K-pop group BTS, who sold 603,307 LPs. Country singer Chris Stapleton landed in third place (577,287), and Metallica came in at number four (539,861). The Beatles, Queen, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake are also amongst the top ten.

He is not only the driving force behind TraderMoni, but the entire GEEP micro-loans program which has disbursed over 1.5 million micro-loans since 2016.
(Picture Above) Mr. Uzoma Nwagba with the Executive Director, Bank of Industry (Mrs. Toyin Adeniji) and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in a market reporting on progress of the TraderMoni programme. Source: Thisday, Sept 27, 2018.
Unless you live in a cave, you have probably heard a lot about GEEP TraderMoni, the intervention prorgramme of the Federal Government giving loans to millions of petty traders, starting at N10,000. But what surprised us is that it is apparently run by a young guy known as “Oga Uzo” within the GEEP circle.
The Chief Operating Officer of TraderMoni is one Mr. Uzoma Nwagba from Abia State, and he is 31 years old! Sources say he is a prodigy of the current Minister of Industry, Trader and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah. Speaking to our sources at the Bank of Industry, we learn he has in fact been a driving force behind the entire Federal Government GEEP project, since 2016 (so he started at 28?).
Source: Twitter
Our sources reveal that a typical work day for the ex-Goldman Sachs Analyst is full of high-pressure meetings with field operators, technology providers, agent networks and payment partners, laced with long sessions with “the ED” (referring to Mrs. Adeniji, the Executive Director at BOI), and frequent visits to the “villa” (presumably referring to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo). “He comes in and is usually on the phone, giving instructions to the teams. He checks in on everyone, goes to see the ED. Next thing he is off to the airport. He is hardly ever in the office but always in touch,” a source said. Most other days for the ex-Microsoft Project Manager are filled with dusty, muddy roads from Sokoto and Yenagoa, and market squares in several obscure locations in Nigeria, surrounded by cray-fish, pepper, tomato, cattle, and all kinds of eager and excited traders across the spectrum.
“Uzo is young but very smart and very confident; almost intimidating. You can’t bullshit him. He works even harder than us, and asks a lot of questions” a source said.
Having a young person drive such a massive national project with over 4,000 employees is quite commendable, so we looked him up. It is curious how the Harvard grad has made the leap from Engineering or Investment Banking in New York, to taking interest-free loans to millions of traders across the country.
Online sources reveal that Uzoma Nwagba attended Kings College, Lagos where he was head boy of the main campus and consistently top of his class. (KC boys, can you confirm this?). He then proceeded to Howard University, Washington DC where he graduated with a First Class in Electrical Engineering. Whilst at Howard, Mr. Nwagba was a Student Government President, and Student of the Year 2008. After Howard, he worked as an Analyst in Goldman Sachs, New York. He subsequently moved on to Microsoft in Redmond to work as a Project Manager, one of the youngest in the history of the company to hold that role, at age 21.
We are told Nwagba left the dream job at Microsoft and returned to Nigeria for a year to complete his NYSC, after which he proceeded to Harvard University for his MBA. Online sources also show he served as a member and leader of various clubs: African Business Club, Management Consulting Club, Public Speaking and Negotiation Club, Business in Government Club, and the Harvard Christian Fellowship. Uzoma’s LinkedIn profile seems not to have been updated in years.
In a country where 70-year-olds run everything in government, this is strange, but very commendable. We tried to get Mr. Nwagba to talk but our correspondents could not reach him.
Arsenal forward, Aaron Ramsey has agreed a five-year deal with Juventus worth £36m and will join the Italian champions on a free transfer at the end of the season.
The midfielder has been discussing a move for weeks and will leave Arsenal after 10 years at the club. It had been clear the Wales international would move in the summer and Juventus had been the frontrunners to secure the 28-year-old’s signature.
Ramsey will be paid around £140,000 a week (£7.2m a season), making him Juventus’s second-highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo but ahead Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa.
Juventus, who have won the past seven Serie A titles, signed Ronaldo for €100m last summer and are nine points clear of Napoli in second place after 19 games. They have reached two of the last four Champions League finals, albeit losing both, to Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid two years later.
They are in the last 16 of this season’s competition, where they face Atlético Madrid. The Juventus manager, Max Allegri, and the director Fabio Paratici are huge admirers of Ramsey, who is likely to be given a place in the Juventus starting XI, most likely playing with Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi in a three-man midfield. He is likely to replace one of Emre Can, Ro
