Nollywood Actress Opeyemi Adetunji is an intimidating figure, a litany of movie appearances and commendations
The actress who has featured in movies like Mopelola, Omo Alhaja 2, Omo Ijoba, to mention just a few, told TheNewsGuru that she has always wanted to be an actress.
“I have always had passion for acting. So it was a case of me deciding pursuing my passion for acting.
I was kind scared and timid when I went for my first audition. I was accompanied by a friend who really encouraged me”.
Speaking on the challenges she has encountered on her voyage to the top, she said ;
“Being visible and getting roles has been a challenge. I know that it’s only a matter of time.The pay is fair for now. When you are passionate about a craft, you won’t think about the money as long as you are happy doing it”.
Tales of sexual harassment is rife in the entertainment industry globally. The Osun state born actress said whenever she gets any hint of sexual harassment, she would quit.
“Sexual harassment is my limit. If it gets out of hand and i can’t control it. I will gladly quit. It is not a do or die affair”.
“I have put my life at risk so many times because I had to be on a movie set. Most times I travel late at night”, she recounted.
The busty actress insisted that she has a limit when it comes to playing romantic scenes, adding that she can only be kissed but will not allow her boobs to be touched in a movie.
”I can act a romantic role, but I cannot go nude on set. I cannot allow my boobs to be touched in a movie Kissing is my limit when it comes to playing such roles”, she said .
A Nigerian writer, Ozzy Etomi has sparked up a debate on micro-blogging site – Twitter on whether husbands should pay their stay at home wives salary.
She also listed the reasons why she feel husbands should pay their wives salary and even suggested they have a pension plan.
Read her reasons below (Brace yourself, it’s quite lenghty);
Husband is away, Nanny had an emergency, had to work from home today while handling an extremely precocious 10 month old. I’d pick going to work over staying in with a baby/toddler all day. Stay at home mom’s dont get enough appreciation, admiration or respect. PAY YOUR WIVES.
I truly believe stay at home mothers should earn a salary, paid by their husbands. I dont want to start another twitter war, so instead I will write an article about this because I can ignore medium comments ? I also believe they should insist on pension payments.
Why? Because more often than not, the exchange that is meant to be occurring is that husbands are “working for the family”, while the woman is manning the domestic/childcare homefront. But the reality, especially in Africa is that husbands are working for themselves.
Wives hardly ever have unmonitored & unrestricted access to the man’s earnings. A lot of us get to enjoy the “trappings” without actually being in control of any considerable assets. You enjoy benevolent gifts & ppl say “you’re lucky your husband is generous”.
But in truth it is not generosity. It is YOUR money too. That is the agreement. The wealth gap never closes because as husbands get richer, wives do not get richer. Stay at home wives do not get their monthly share of their husbands salary as theirs to keep/ save/ invest.
A lot of women with wealthy husbands get tickets bought, houses to stay in, clothes & expensive gifts, and “spending money”. But most times do not have 2 cents to rub together without their husbands despite working together to build up the family for years. It is HIS money.
Thennnnn after years of being married, that nigga dies and lives everything to the kids. And then the cycle starts over with your children handing you pocket money. I’ve already said too much. Men, pay your wives sha. Build up her wealth too. Let her have a retirement plan.
It’s not a curse to stay home and take care of kids, women shouldn’t have to suffer for it.
When she does that, she is still using many considerable skills to keep the home organized, the house finances straight, making sure the kids are good, keeping staff in line, etc. She is doing a LOT OF WORK which is essentially unpaid labor.
You on the other hand are doing a lot of work which you are freed up to do because you dont have to worry about your home or your kids. When you bring home your share aka the finances. It is for you & your wife & kids. Not yours to mete out as you see fit.
Your wife, being someone who is at home, is not EARNING AN INCOME. Therefore if youre income isnt shared fairly with her, she is essentially living a life of poverty only offset by your ‘generosity’ and those are the men who even bother giving their wives an ‘allowance’.
In a good % of this situation, women make money off skimming off the top of household expenses they have to inflate just to get extra money. Which is why when couples break up after years of marriage, or when a man dies, their wives can barely afford to take care of the kids.
Your wife deserves her fair share of your salary. Choosing to focus on the home/kids shouldn’t result in financial exclusion for women as it often does. Suggest to me then other ways in which a full time stay at home mother can grow wealth, have investments and savings?
I have seen too often in many ppls situations how the household budget doesn’t include the wife. Everyone gets taken into consideration except her. There is money for kids. Money for feeding. Money for house expenses. Staff gets paid.
But the woman is doing/supervising the cooking, shopping, managing, organizing, caring, etc, working herself to the bone exhausted every day for FREE, and the general sentiment is “what do you need YOUR own separate money for, everything is paid for” like she isn’t her own person
Man, whatever, examine the lives of many couples around you and you know what i’m saying is true. Men spend the family money whenever and however they please with little or no permission. “Oh i feel like a new watch”..BAM!
But you see women strategizing how best to ask/request money for their husbands especially when it is something that is simply for them and not tied to household or kids. Thesis & speeches justifying the spend. Its such a scam.

Miracle alleged girlfriend who goes by the name _nekky_01 on Instagram has showed how disappointed she is in him for leaving her behind after he became famous.
The young lady lamented that the BBNaija winner has been ignoring her messages just because she is now his ‘supposed ex’, claiming that she had done alot for the young man and sacrificed alot in the name of love.
She came online to write saying;
“Its gotten to the extent that you don’t reply me again because i am now your supposed ex, after everything i did for you all the sacrifices i made for you”
An instagram user then asked her;
“lolz…is this a joke or what, do you know him personally”
Former Big Brother Naija’s first runner-up, Cee-C and second runner-up, Tobi Bakre have spoken on their relationship in the BBNaija house.
The two stars talked on the game which lasted for 85 days and how they hurt one another in the process.
Cee-C and Tobi played a cat and mouse game which got their fans riled up, they admitted that they are hurting and also talked about their career plans in the MediaRoom Hub magazine.
See excerpts from their interview below:
ARE YOU BOTH AWARE THAT BIGBROTHER HOUSE IS A GAME HOUSE?
Cee-c – yeah…of course, I will speak for myself I’m very much aware that it was all a game.
Tobi – it’s a game but then you play it in a certain type of way, there is a part you have to play as a game. So, it’s a reality show and there is a reality and a show you also have to be part of. You can’t really play the game for 95days, we are humans. The game part is your nomination show.
BOTH OF YOU WERE THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL IN THE HOUSE, CAN YOU TELL US IF THE WHOLE DOUBLE WAHALA DRAMA WAS SCRIPTED OR IT JUST HAPPENED WHILE YOU GUYS WERE IN THE HOUSE?
Tobi – In the bigbrother house generally, nothing was scripted, everything that happened in there was very natural.
Even at a point we thought we were boring and they might probably want to scrap the show that was how bad it was.
So, nothing was predetermined everything was totally natural and that’s the nature of the game.
Cee-c – Eeeeerm…I totally agree with what Tobi said, in the house nothing was scripted.
None of us was given any script to work on, everything that happened in the house were normal day to day activities.
TOBI THERE WAS THIS MAGICAL THING ABOUT YOU TWO WHEN YOU JUST GOT INTO THE HOUSE, SO WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO HER?
Tobi– In the game, how it happened was the head of house challenge.
First of all, when we got on stage I saw this beautiful lady that was wearing a nice dress, so I complemented. And when we got to the house, we fakely got evicted and went back to the house.
At first, I was meant to choose Koko, but she denied knowing me at a point prior to winning head of house, so I chose Cee-c as my partner.
Naturally we started to bound, for the first two weeks it was more like sharing and knowing someone you kind of have like minds with, so we used to share thoughts and we kind of built a safe space around each other at that point.
SO CEE-C WHAT IS YOUR ATTRACTION TO TOBI?
Cee-c– So I got into bigbrother house amongst all the guys in the house , I saw this very nice looking young man, of course he is mentally attractive and I watched him every day, watched the way he handles the task, he pays attention to details.
He is this guy that always cares about me, asking me questions about my wellbeing, more like we built a home together in the first few weeks because every night we come back to the bed to talk about the day.
For me, the attraction was all package, it was amazing, he was an amazing guy too.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT PEOPLE’S OPINION ON YOU BEEN POSSESSIVE IN THE HOUSE?
Cee-c– The truth is YES, cee-c is possessive, what belongs to me belongs to me.
For a guy to say he likes me, and I like him too, it’s very normal for me not to want any girl around him. It wasn’t all about me been possessive.
I think also I was scared about the fact that it’s a game and many girls would like to play dirty in there, so I didn’t want him to get close to these girls because they could use him to get to me.
SO TOBI WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO A WOMAN BEEN POSSESSIVE?
Tobi – well, it’s normal for a woman to be possessive but not to be over possessive.
Its okay to want something and want it to yourself, but you can’t be extreme about it. That is just my opinion about a woman been possessive.
YOU WERE LIKE A VERY STRONG CONTENDER IN THE HOUSE, DO YOU THINK ONE OF THE DRAMA BETWEEN YOU AND CEE-C COST YOU THE PRIZE?
TOBI– for me I went into the house to be myself and I will never sacrifice being myself for 25million naira or 45million naira prize.
Like if I’m going to win let me win as myself, of course I had my flaws.
THERE WAS A TIME IN THE HOUSE CEE-C ASSAULTED YOU VERBALLY, DO YOU TINK YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO MAKE HER REACTE THE WAY SHE DID?
TOBI– I did not particularly do anything to get what I got from cee-C, we were all been ourselves and natural. So I’m not responsible for people’s actions, in fact nobody is responsible for anybody’s actions.
Actions or reaction is totally dependent on who you are as a person.
WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALEX TO SPITE CEE-C OR WHAT?
TOBI – At no point did I do anything to spite Cee-c, even Alex sometimes preach to me about her, she’s the kind of girl who sees good in everybody, even when she thinks you are not so cool.
I actually learnt that from Alex, I learnt to see good in people because it gives positive energy.
BEFORE YOU LEFT THE HOUSE, EBUKA ASKED IF YOU WERE GOING TO DATE ALEX OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?
Tobi– truth be told, that question was a very objective question, it’s like me getting to know you and I was asked that kind of question at that time.
Alex is a good girl, why won’t I want to date her? For me to say I can’t date her means there is something wrong with her, but there is nothing wrong with her.
Even without the last couple of weeks trying to know each other, I still think she is a good girl and I would give the same response. You see something good; you accept and acknowledge it is good.
YOU TWO GAVE US TOUGH TIME TRYING TO GET A PERFECT COUPLE PICTURE O BOTH OF YOU FOR OUR COVER , ARE YOU STILL ANGRY WITH CEE-C OR ARE YOU GUYS COOL NOW?
Tobi– As far as been professional and working together, definitely I’m sure we are both open to that.
Nothing stops us from been cordial, but at the same time we are human beings. Y
ou saying we just drop whatever happened in the is like asking us not to be human and that’s not fair, if you ask me. I mean, we are human beings, definitely lines were crossed, things were said, and things were done.
And it’s different when you come out of the house and you apologize genuinely for the things you did, like oh!! whatever thing I did or said that was me playing a game, outside the house sorry that wasn’t me , it was a different ball game sorry, then we access the whole situation and be like , okay it’s was just a game.
But when you come out and even almost after leaving , you getting the same vibe, same responses, the same verbal interaction, it’s no more a game.
That is the real situation, the real you, so I’m not upset, I’m not angry. For me it was a ‘let it out’ you know when you are angry with someone and you have exhausted you energy, you will be like come and give me a hug and everything will end there.
I was thinking we would get to that point but we didn’t. What will end all this is a genuine apology, bigbrother quoted one and she apologized for that, but that wasn’t the first time it was going to happen.
It was more like the 3rd time, at a point I almost felt like, yo mehn… it’s like this thing is partial, Bigbrother you are seeing this, this is not right.
You don’t apologize for the one Bigbrother saw, if you want to apologize, you do it genuinely, and you apologize in totality.
If you want to change as a person, you acknowledge and accept your mistakes, apologize and then try to be better, that’s just it for me.
BASED ON WHAT WE WATCHED ON OUR SCREEN, BOTH OF YOU OFFENDED EACH OTHER AND YOU OWE EACH OTHER APOLOGY. SO ARE YOU GUYS READY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT?
Tobi– yeah, I agree. I have been the one talking since; to be honest nobody can tell me that part in the house was a game.
Of course, professionally I don’t hate her. A lot of things I did do in the house, how I was able to handle a lot of things in the house was because I still see her as a friend.
But for me, for this relationship to continue three things are involved. Accept you were wrong, apologize and then try to be better.
Cee-c– I don’t want to sound defensive in here but the truth is I don’t think I owe Tobi any apology as at now. You know why? Because I have already apologized for using certain words at him that is, what I know I said wrong.
When I went into the house, I didn’t ask Tobi to come around me, I didn’t force him to like me.
He should have simply walk up to me to tell me what I did wrong. One thing I know I did very wrong was the day that I used a lot of bad words to him, for that I apologized to Tobi.
Tobi- It wasn’t the first time.
Cee-c– I apologized not because he wasn’t wrong or didn’t do anything for me to do what I did , but because no matter what, attitude is good with all regardless and I feel like that is not who I want to be.
I don’t what to hear Cee-c is this Cee-c is that, and I don’t want that for myself either.
Everybody watched the show; you all saw what went down in the Bigbrother house.
You all saw what Cee-c did wrong, what Tobi did wrong. I agree I was wrong by using certain words for Tobi and I apologized to him.
Whether he thinks it was a game of whatever, that’s his cup of tea and he can drink it.
SO TOBI, DO YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR CEE-C?
Tobi– We are friends; I just really need her to learn. Learning is vital, even when we were romantically involved, we were friends and we had issues, nobody is against you. So from a friend to a friend, learn to be a better person.
SO IF MO’ABUDU CALLS YOU GUYS FOR A SET TOGETHER , WILL YOU ACCEPT OR DECLINE THE OFFER?
Tobi– we can work together, I am very professional or let me say I have to be professional.
When I was head of house, I had issues with a lot of people. People dint like me but regardless we come together and achieve.
Smile when we have to smile, get the job done. For me, I would like to get the job done regardless of personal issues. So working professionally? Definitely we can, but to try and be in a relationship, we can’t.
We just have to be friends, I repeat just friends. Looking at the kind of support she is getting, she feels there is nothing wrong with what she did or said in the house.
Before leaving the house she felt that way, leaving the house now she even feel more like that.
Cee-c- Sorry about what exactly, like I said earlier I owe Tobi no apology.
WHO WAS YOUR STRONGEST CONTENDER IN THE HOUSE AMONGST THE GIRLS?
Cee-c – I think Anto was my strongest contender in the house.
WHY ANTO?
Cee-c– I chose Anto because she is never vocal, she never got involved in any fight or argument in the house , so I felt like she was more composed than I am.
For the ladies, its either you want the one who is very quiet ( Anto) or the one who is crazy ( Cee-c).
WHAT WAS YOUR HAPPIEST MOMENT IN THE HOUSE?
Cee-c– I think it was the day I won the Payporte Arena game, because I was really sick.
I had panic attack before the task, biggie dint even think I could participate in the task. I went there and I won the game, that day was my happiest day in the house.
SO WHY DID YOU HAVE A PANIC ATTACK?
Cee-c- To me that environment was new, I’m not used to staying in a place with so much people.
I’m not use to a lot of things that happened in the house. I had a lot in my head, thinking about my family, thinking about the people out there and how they see me, there was Tobi’s issue too.
DO YOU THINK TOBI HAD A HAND IN THE WAY OTHER HOUSEMATES SAW YOU IN THE HOUSE?
Cee-c– No, I wouldn’t do that to Tobi. I feel like he is an adult, you should be able to see things for yourself. You shouldn’t form an opinion based on what people tell you, People say want they want to say.
IN THE HOUSE, SOME OF THE HOUSEMATES SAW TOBI AS A GOSSIP, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THIS?
Cee-c– Tobi talks about people a lot, to him it might not be gossiping but I call that gossiping. He talks about people when they are not there; he does that a lot with his friends so I see Tobi as a gossip.
DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE THE DOUBLEE WAHALA?
Cee-c – yeah!!! I’m surprised to hear that, I felt like I was doing my thing .All that happened was just Cee-c being cee-c.
Honestly, when I came out and I saw some of the videos I was shocked and surprised to see what I did.
Though I started watching from Bigbrother house, when we are about to get a strike biggie show us the video.
SO WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE NOW THAT THE GAME IS OVER?
Cee-c– I have a lot of plans funny enough, because before I went for Bigbrother I wanted to go for my masters (MBA) and I wanted to finance it , because I’m very independent .
I wanted to go into the house, win the money so I can further my education, unfortunately, I dint win the money so I have to stay here and make this money.
While I’m here, I want to go everything entertainment; acting , hosting, modeling , fashion, but I don’t want to be an artist. I’m not going to leave my father’s business,
I’m also an advertising practitioner, but then I’m not going to be doing a 9-5, Probably going to be doing freelance. For me now, it’s all about entertainment so I can be able to get money to fund my masters.
DO YOU THINK OTHER HOUSEMATES WERE TRYING TO FRUSTRATE YOU INTO DEPRESSION?
Cee-c – yeah…coming out of the house now, I realized that other housemates saw me as threat to them and they tried to pull me down. I feel like people were intentionally doing certain things to frustrate me.
DO YOU ALSO THINK ALEX BROKE THE ‘GIRL CODE’ BY BEEN TOO CLOSE TO YOUR MAN INSTEAD OF TRYING TO RECTIFY THE DAMAGES THAT HAS AFFECTED YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
Cee-c– In the house we were just trying to be friends and not to build a relationship.
I had nothing against them being together, but the only thing I have against Alex is the fact that, you are a woman for God sake, you sit with him and discuss your fellow woman, giving false information about her.
So I don’t think Alex snatched anybody from me, Tobi was never mine in the first place. The only thing I frowned at was Alex gossiping about me with Tobi, she painted an ugly picture of me and for whatever reason she did that, I don’t know.
DO YOU THINK THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS OR THEY ARE SECRETELY DATING?
Cee-c – whatever they are doing is their business not mine.
HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALEX?
Cee-c – she’s just like every other housemate to me, because out of this place, we are trying to see what we can all do together.
SO IF TOMORROW YOU HEAR THAT ALEX AND TOBI ARE OFFICIALLY DATING, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
Cee-c– Its fine really, because if I’m not with Tobi, he should be with someone else and if it’s Alex, for me it is the same thing as been with another girl. So it’s no big deal.
YOU MENTIONED A NAME ‘DIDI’ IN THE HOUSE, WERE YOU IN ANY RELATIONSHIP BEFORE GOING INTO BIGBROTHER HOUSE?
Cee-c- There is actually a Didi, he is my best friend. He was the one who told me and pushed me into this in the first place; he has always been there for me.
We were never dating, we are just friends, so any time I’m lonely I just call the name Didi.
THERE HAS BEEN SPECULATIONS THAT YOU AND EBUKA DATED IN THE PAST, BUT HE WENT ON AIR TO DENY KNOWING YOU IN PERSON, SO WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, DO YOU KNOW EBUKA IN PERSON?
Cee-c – Actually, this was the first issue I addressed immediately I got out of the house, he is a married man for Christ sake.
The first time I mentioned Ebuka’s name was when they asked us about role model and I said Ebuka, because he is a lawyer, so am I.
I kept wondering how he was able to make it in the entertainment industry; somehow he is very relevant in the industry.
I always looked forward to time when I can ask him how he was able to achieve all these, I also want to do what he is doing, I want to remain relevant in the industry, and the only thing that got me attracted to Ebuka was his career transitioning.
We never had a personal meeting before the Bigbrother game, I saw Ebuka at a beauty pageant.
I can understand that Ebuka may not remember me; definitely he must have met a lot of faces being an influence, so it’s okay for him not to remember me.
Even when I was doing my Bigbrother registration, I never contacted him.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PICTURE OF YOU TWO THAT WENT VIRAL?
Cee-c – that was a picture from the beauty pageant, that was the first time I met Ebuka .
SO WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH?
Cee-c – coming out of the house to see all the things Uti did for me, I’m crushing on him right now. So, I would say Uti is my celebrity crush. Shout out to Uti and thank you for everything.
YOU WERE THE ONLY HOUSEMATE THAT HAD THE EFFONTRY TO RIP THE OUTIF GIVEN TO YOU BY PAYPORT, WAS THAT ALSO YOU BEING YOURSELF OR A MISTAKE FROM PAYPORTE?
Cee-c – I always try to express myself through my dressing, so when it comes to fashion I’m always conscious of what I wear.
I have plans of doing thing that has to do with fashion, so it wasn’t about payporte giving me a bad dress, it was just Cee-c being Cee-c . I always like to look the way I want to be address.
EARLIER YOU SAID YOU PLANNING ON GOING FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES, WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN CONCERNING THIS DECISION?
Cee-c – I won’t say because someone did one or two things and I reacted, I don’t have anger issue.
You can be angry but don’t react that way, that’s not cool. For me it’s all about learning, knowing the fact that bottling thing inside is not good enough, you can explode at anytime and hurt the other person.
DO YOU REGRET YOUR ACTIONS TOWARDS TOBI?
Cee-c – yes , I used certain words at Tobi which weren’t good enough. I shouldn’t have acted that way, just realized there are better ways to talk things out without insulting anybody. Not the fact that I express my anger, but the way I expressed it.

Meanwhile, Here are some stunning new Photos of Davido‘s Girlfriend , Chioma the Chef that is currently making the rounds on social media.
Former Housemate, and First Runnerup of the Big Brother naija show, Cynthia Nwadiora, Cee-C has become the First Female ex-Housemate of the 2018 edition of the show to be verified on Instagram.
This comes after the winner, Tobi and Miracle got verified last week!
Meanwhile, Ifu Ennada has showered praises on fellow ex-housemate, Cynthia Nwadiora popularly known as Cee C.
Ennada took to her Instagram page to describe Cee C as a true definition of a mighty strong woman.
She wrote: “My #WCW is @ceec_official for a number of reasons. We were not the closest of friends in the #Bbnaija house, but something about you stood out.
“I remember the times you wanted to tell me your story and how we could make a movie out of it.
“You said you had always gotten everything you wanted thanks to your awesome dad, but had some struggles that shaped you in certain ways.
“You never told me these things, but I could relate to you in some ways because of my past… I like how you’re out and doing big things. I like how you’re very warm and receptive.
“I like how you left all that happened in the house back there and you’re becoming the true definition of a Mighty Strong Woman.
“So many things could break a woman, but you stand strong and show no weakness.”
“The other day you asked me if I still do my shutouts… Well, here’s one – Shout outs to your father, he’s your biggest cheerleader!
“He reminds me of my dad. Everyone should have a dad like yours. You’re a Beautiful CeeC and I wish you nothing but the best! Cheers, Ifu”.
CeeC was recently spotted with Davido and his Girl, Chioma.
Seems like Big Brother Naija finalist, Tobi Bakre is somewhat still holding on to the grudge he’d had with controversial housemate, CeeC while in the house.
It can be deduced from a recent interview with Red Media Room, that Tobi isn’t quite over the tantrum CeeC threw at him during their final days in the house.
He said she needs to “accept she was wrong, apologize and then try to be better“.
He said in full,
You saying we just drop whatever happened in the is like asking us not to be human and that’s not fair, if you ask me. I mean, we are human beings, definitely lines were crossed, things were said, and things were done. And it’s different when you come out of the house and you apologize genuinely for the things you did, like oh!! whatever thing I did or said that was me playing a game, outside the house sorry that wasn’t me, it was a different ball game sorry, then we access the whole situation and be like , okay it’s was just a game. But when you come out and even almost after leaving , you getting the same vibe, same responses, the same verbal interaction, it’s no more a game. That is the real situation, the real you, so I’m not upset, I’m not angry. For me it was a ‘let it out’ you know when you are angry with someone and you have exhausted you energy, you will be like come and give me a hug and everything will end there. I was thinking we would get to that point but we didn’t.
What will end all this is a genuine apology, Big Brother quoted one and she apologized for that, but that wasn’t the first time it was going to happen. It was more like the 3rd time, at a point I almost felt like, yo mehn… it’s like this thing is partial, Big Brother you are seeing this, this is not right. You don’t apologize for the one Big Brother saw, if you want to apologize, you do it genuinely, and you apologize in totality. If you want to change as a person, you acknowledge and accept your mistakes, apologize and then try to be better, that’s just it for me
Cee-C who has apologized to Tobi for her nasty words at him long before now, didn’t hesitate to let him know that she too is angry at his actions in the house.
She calls him out for gossiping about her a lot while the show was on.
She said,

A former banker at Stanbic Bank in Choma, Uganda has been sentenced to four years’ imprisonment for allegedly stealing the sum of K33, 928.20 belonging to a customer.
Ugandan, Ms. Sandra Thindwa was found guilty at the Choma Magistrates Court in Choma, Zambia by Principle Resident Magistrate Exnobert Zulu, on a two-count charge of theft by servant, and money laundering.
Byta FM in Choma reports that on dates unknown but between 31st December, 2015 and 29th January, 2016, Sandra Nthindwa of Choma in count one jointly and whilst acting together with persons unknown stole Thirty three thousand Nine Hundred and twenty eight Kwacha Twenty ngwee (K33, 928.20).
The money came into her possession by virtue of being employed by Stanbic Bank, Choma Branch.
In Count two, she was accused of Money laundering of the same amount by means of false accounting transactions.
The State called 11 witnesses who testified on oath, with the first being Munalula Kusowa from Stanbic Head Office who testified to receiving a complaint from Zambeef Choma through the Stanbic Choma Branch Manager that the amount in question was not credited in the account after a deposit was made by Euclife Chaaba, an Amarguard officer but now deceased.
And in the course of the investigation, Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) Senior Investigations Officer Mwansa Sibongile testified that the bank’s CCTV footage was deleted as the system is on auto delete after 90 days.
She also discovered that the accused even engaged herself in a boutique business.
But in defense, Nthindwa testified that at close of business on the material day, everything balanced and the Bank Custodian signed.
However, in the court’s findings, it was established that the transaction was not indicating on the Teller log and Account statement but only on two hand written deposit slips given to the Depositor.
The Court said if the money was “swallowed” by the suspense account, a shortage would have arisen but it balanced because the paper work was done fraudulently and the cash was not presented to the Bank Custodian.
In mitigation Counsel W.F Cheelo from KBF and Partners asked the Court to exercise lenience stating that the convict is a mother who has lost her job and will bear the tag of being a convicted person forever.
In passing sentence, Principle Resident Magistrate Exnobert Zulu considered the fact that Nthindwa is a first offender but the offence committed has become so rampant countrywide.
He said her actions portrayed greed which may affect the trust between the two organisations.
He therefore sentenced her to four years simple imprisonment in count one and acquitted her for money laundering.
Following Nina Ivy’s Letter of Apology to her supporter-turned-enemy – Bobrisky, some fans felt the letter was not written by the BBNaija Star.
Here’s the letter:
I’m generally a cheerful person. I’m usually full of love, life, and happiness. I open my eyes in the morning and feel excited to be alive.
There was a time, though, when it wasn’t so easy in the big brother naija house When blinking and breathing and speaking all took so much effort that I thought I may as well give up: I was in a dark hole of sadness and anger and confusion.
I didn’t think I was gonna make it, but you rooted for me
For the friend who stood by my side through the storm for you Bobrisky the person who could see through my darkness when I wasn’t able to.
For the beautiful soul who believed in transformation, who believed in healing, and time, and growth. Who never once judged me for my heartache, grief, and anguish ,naevity .
Who, when the world gave up on me , gave me a piece of hope, a breath of fresh air, and a tiny scrap of faith that things might begin to change.
For the friend who was delicate with their words and capable of pushing me forward. Who didn’t mind what people where saying against me in dark corner, who actually stood his ground to help me.
You endured and took alot of insult for my sake, You pulled me through an impossible tornado that I thought was going to eat me whole.
You loved me at my worst. You never gave up on me. You saw through my opaque pain.
Dear friend,
Thank you.
But I’m trying to build up my life,I didn’t know you had all this difference with Toyin Lawani,but then again when i found out i said to myself..i shouldnt involve myself it’s between you two.. And am free with both of you..I hate having enemies….
I’m never ungrateful I have always been grateful for all you did for me and will always be..
I hope you see through my point and understand
Thanks @bobrisky222
A fan who felt Nina did not possess such writing skills, commented; “Nina did not write this by herself tho”
Those words did not go down too well with Nina, hence her reply; “@Teekay_diva use your writing skills and make something out of your life”
The Follower @teekay_diva then tried to explain her comment; “Is like all of you mentioning me are ALL MAD!!! Must your dumb asses always interpret everything to be an insult ? Get a life abeg… Awon didirin”
Madam Nina!! Why are you defensive ? My comment on your page wasn’t an insult… Please have sense abeg.
So what do you think guys, was her comment an insult ?
Former member of defunct Psquare music band and CEO of Rudeboy Record, Paul Okoye aka RudeBoy, has released another single.
He dropped the new track is titled, “Ifai” soundtrack with the immediate release of its video.
This song was released days after his Twin brother, member of the former Psquare band Peter, also known as Mr P, released another song titled, “Ebeano”.
The acting chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has defended the agency’s N24 billion new office, claiming it is a modest amount for a building that should cost N100 billion.
The 10-floor building is about 95% completed as at May 9 and is expected to serve as the operating base for the anti-graft body.
Anti-corruption campaigners and other citizens are keeping their eyes on the cost, especially coming at a time that the agency itself is complaining of poor funding that hampers its basic operations.
“You are not being fair,” Mr. Magu said when asked by PREMIUM TIMES to respond to the controversies around the price. “If you go and bring any valuer, they will value it for not less than N100 billion.”
The agency has been renting offices and official quarters for most of its staff at its branches across the country.
On November 24, 2010, Yayale Ahmed, then Secretary to the Government of the Federation, proposed the new building to the Federal Executive Council and later got an initial release of N18 billion for it. .
A few weeks later, Sahara Reporters published concerns about how Julius Berger won a ‘no objection’ procurement certificate to build the office, alongside a slew of other allegedly questionable contracts award by President Jonathan’s cabinet at the time.
The new office includes a mid-size parking facility, three detached buildings, including a clinic, a generator house, and a 33KV step-down transformer station.
Martin Obono, an Abuja-based anti-corruption campaigner, said the EFCC has no justification for spending N24bn on a single office at the expense of the taxpayers.
Mr. Obono said ;
“It is not feasible that N24bn would have been spent on that building, It is too expensive for a so-called anti-corruption agency.”
Mr. Obono added the EFCC could build a befitting office for its operations in each of the 36 states at the price of N24 billion. .
Several Abuja-based staff members will still continue in rented apartments because the new building still cannot accommodate everyone.

A young South African Man has gone viral on the internet for a very funny reason.
In school or even when two bachelors share a room, it is part of the guy-code (Don’t ask me where it is written) for a roommate to vacate the room or indeed the premises when his roommate brings home a girl.
However, this young south African man refused to leave the room, and he even took photos of the two lovers in bed (LOL).
Sharing the photo on his Facebook, he wrote;
My room mate just came back with his girlfriend. They have been here staring at me for 4 hrs. They think I will go outside to give them privacy. I cannot support evil. No way! Let me even start selecting my movies

Beauty queen and chartered accountant, Nneze Richards has blasted pop singer, Rihanna and other celebrities for their choice of outfit to the 2018 MET Gala.
Rihanna showed up to the event in a hat that looks no different from the Catholic Pope’s mitre.
Reacting to the outfit, Nneze Richards who is a staunch Catholic according to her Instagram profile wrote:
Rihanna, I like u a lot… but to wear the pope;s head piece ”papal mitre” is such a disrespect to the Catholic religion. What a disgrace. Mocking religion to create controversy and bring the public’s attention. As if religion is a joke…
I’m so disappointed @metmuseum for allowing a mockery of the Catholic faith. Try using another religion for fashion statement. Something like an Islam theme e.g met Muslim bodies. Of course they wouldn’t dare cause I bet there will be an uproar right away and that your met museum will be a history. But they chose Catholic theme because they won’t make a major fuss about it.
Someone will soon come and say my believe should be in God and not the pope but surely this is deeply offensive and lack of respect.
She’s normally incredible but this is awkward and awfully horrible!!
I feel people are liking it because it is Rihanna. This is NOT OKAY, Catholic iconography is not a fashion trend. Don’t come for my pope.

He’s pegged on 66th position coming a spot ahead of Vice President of the United States of America, Mike Pence who’s pegged on number 67 on the list.
Four factors were taken into account to select each of the World’s Most Powerful People: how many people over whom they have power; the financial resources they control; if they have influence in more than one sphere; and how actively they wield their power to change the world.
Dangote, who made his fortune in the cement industry, is turning his attention to dairy and sugar farming; he’s earmarked $800 million to buy 50,000 cattle in the hope of producing 500 million litres of milk annually by 2019.
