#BBNaija: Cee-C says she doesn’t have any regrets, everything was real

Cee-C interview

Cee-C in an interview with Sunday Punch revealed some intimate details about herself and all that happened in the house, among other interesting issues.

Excerpts from the interview below…

When did you decide to participate in Big Brother Naija?

A few weeks after I saw the advert on Instagram, I decided to attend the audition and I was successful.

Did you share your plans to participate in the reality show with your family?

No, I did not tell anybody.

How did they react when they found out you were going to be a housemate?

They know I have always wanted to be on TV, so they were not surprised about my decision. The fact that I made it into the house despite the large number of people that auditioned also impressed them.

What are some of the most important lessons you took away from the Big Brother House?

I learnt to live and let live. Also, adversities are opportunities for you to shine, so make the best of it.

If you were to go back into the house, what would you do differently?

I think I would be an older version of myself; this means I would be more mature.

Was your attitude part of your strategy to win the game?

I am always myself. Everything you saw in the house was real.

What do you regret doing while in the house?

I don’t have any regrets.

What’s the next stage for you?

This is a new environment, so I am trying to get used to it. I’m looking at the opportunities I have to know the ones to go for and make money. I hope to act and I’m also a music artiste.

Were you in a relationship before the competition?

No, I wasn’t and I never thought of finding love while in the house. I was there to play a game and I planned to do whatever it took to win.

If you could date one person in the house, who would it be?

Nobody. I wasn’t attracted to anybody in the house. As regards the kind of man I like, the God factor is very important. It also has to be someone who understands and loves me deeply.

RCCG worker disgraced

A female worker at a parish on the mainland, has taken to Twitter to share how she was disgraced and sent out of the Church over the dress she wore to church today.

Identified as Adeola, she says the reason she was sent away from the church was because the dress is short and figure Hugging.

Apparently, she says she worked till 11:00 pm yesterday, Saturday, got home and just slept off without preparing what she’d wear the next day, which is today Sunday.

I worked till 11pm yesterday, got home and just slept. Woke up 6:00am and there’s no light to iron and I have to be in church by 6:45 so I don’t get punished.”

“This experience just made me hate my body in general. I feel like my body has failed me. I am back home to change… Looking for one of my mums clothes.”

Dino Melaye survives

Dino Melaye survives attempt to recall Kogi West flopped on Saturday following a low turn-out for the signature verification.

Results announced by INEC at the end of the exercise showed that only 18,742 signatories to the recall petition were verified out of the 189,870 signatories on the petition.

The verified signatories fell well below the requirement of the law that 50 per cent and one of the signatories must be verified before the recall process can continue.

Consequently, the embattled Senator Melaye who is in the hospital owing to the drama that followed his arrest has survived the recall attempt.

Here is how the verification exercise turned out in the seven local government areas in the senatorial district, which has 351,146 registered voters.

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier assured the people that it was only concerned with transparency in the exercise and could not be held responsible for the poor turnout of petitioners.

The INEC Federal Commissioner in-charge of Kogi, Kwara and Nasarawa states, Alhaji Mohammed Haruna, made the statement in Lokoja shortly after the end of the exercise.

Haruna said that the main concern of INEC was to ensure transparency in the process, insisting that the organisation was neutral in the bid to recall Melaye from the Senate.

“Turnout is not our problem; turnout is the problem of parties concerned, ours is to ensure transparency,” Haruna said.

Commenting on insinuations that INEC might tamper with the wish of the people, the commissioner said that nothing like that would happen, stressing that the agency had no interest in who won or lost in the matter.

“Nothing untoward will happen, I assure you . Whatever happened at the polling units is what INEC will announce,” he stated.

Commenting on the mix up in the list of petitioners, Haruna said that mistakes in such exercise was normal but gave an assurance that the mistakes would be corrected.

He lauded the peaceful conduct of the people before and during the exercise.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in Koton Karfe and Lokoja, the people conducted themselves well, although the turnout was poor.

During the exercise, there was no case of malfunctioning of card reader machines while security personnel adequately manned the polling centres.

Eniola Badmus says there is no beef between her and Toyin Abraham

Nollywood Actress, Eniola Badmus recently made some controversial posts on social media which many believed were targeted at Toyin Abraham.

Both actresses are currently promoting their movies and from sneak previews online, it seems the movies have the same theme and thrust.

Abraham’s movie is titled, The Ghost and the Tout and she has been promoting it for months now.

Meanwhile, Badmus’ movie is titled, Ghetto Bred, and she only started promoting it sometime after Aimakhu had been doing hers.

Many felt that Badmus wasn’t pleased that Abraham was portraying herself as a ‘ghetto bred,’ hence her social media updates.

She had written on Instagram, “There is no point sugar coating or stealing title…ema lo wa o (don’t come).”

Shortly before that, she had written, “There can only be one ghetto bred produced by Eniola Badmus.”

However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Badmus denied that there was any rift between her and Abraham.

She said, “There is zero beef between me and Toyin. We are very good friends. People always read different meanings to things but it’s not always as it seems.

“All I am doing right now is to promote my movie and I have gotten a lot of love from colleagues.”

Explaining the concept behind the movie, Eniola said, “I play the role of a dramatic taxi driver with the soul of a tomboy who lives in a ghetto with her educated elder brother.

“My character is an energetic and aggressive lady that never thought of having a boyfriend but later fell in love.

“The movie, which cost millions of naira, features top comedians and Nollywood actors.”

Meanwhile, the actress has not been paid her prize money for emerging the winner of the Celebrity Housemates reality TV show more than a month ago.

However, she expressed confidence that she would definitely be paid. She said, “They have no choice but to pay my money; trust me.”

Davido didn’t fight South African actress over sexual advances – Manager, Asa Asika

South African Actress

Recall that last week, Davido was accused of fighting a South African actress, whose name is Boity at a hotel after his performance.

It was alleged that it happened after she turned down Davido’s sexual advances.

Reports of the altercation were even published in newspapers in Zimbabwe.

Days after that, the singer was also accused by a jeweller, who claimed that Davido made away with some of his jewellery.

In a four-part post on Instagram, the jeweller, known as Michael Kaycee, claimed that he gave some jewellery to Davido and his brother in 2011 in Ghana to sell in London.

According to him, upon getting to London, Davido refused to give him the proceeds of the sale and subsequent efforts to get his money have been futile.

However, in a brief chat with Davido’s manager, Asa Asika, he simply said, “I don’t have any comments about that issue.”

Commenting on the Zimbabwean scandal, Asika said, “That is not true; it never happened. I don’t know about what was written in any paper.”

Meanwhile, Davido commented on an Instagram post that reported the story, saying, “Part five dey?”

I want a man richer than Otedola – Blessing Ofoegbu

Nollywood Actress, Blessing Ofoegbu has said that marrying a man richer than billionaire oil magnate, Femi Otedola is her ultimate aim.

In her words, “I’m single and not in any relationship now, because I just broke up with my boyfriend a short while ago, so sexual urge is not my problem.

“However, when it’s time for marriage, I want a humble, God fearing, intelligent and bold man, and a man with good morals. I want a man with too much money. I want a man richer than (Femi) Otedola. I don’t want a stingy man.

“I want someone that will look at me and say ‘baby girl, you are worth eating my money’,” she told Inside Nollywood.

The Biochemistry graduate of Anambra State University also has a word for producers who take sub-standard films to the cinemas.

“The main problem with these producers is that they want to do like others, forgetting that quality of movies matters. They should try and bring out meaningful stories, then shoot with good budget.

They must not always use top stars to get a better movie, there are also quite good up and coming actors that can interpret roles very well. They should give the younger generation a chance to grow,” she stated.

 

Actress Charity Nnaji claims BBNaija housemates make better money sleeping with politicians

Charity Nnaji claims

Charity Nnaji, a Nollywood Actress has said that most former female housemates of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show make more money when they sleep with politicians.

 

According to her, she believes the girls among them should seize the opportunity of the moment to make more money by sleeping with politicians like their predecessors are doing instead of glamorizing the social media for nothing.

Welcome back to Nigeria,” she began in a chat with Potpourri

Please tell the housemates of Big Brother Naija, especially the girls to utilise this opportunity and platform to make more money by sleeping with politicians instead of taking selfies and uploading on Instagram,” she advised.

The actress who didn’t seem to care about the gravity of her statement went further to say that she has her proof of how former housemates have made so much money sleeping with politicians across Nigeria.

She claimed she witnessed a particular incident where a former housemate on the show was on the phone with a politician and she charged him a million Naira per night to have fun with him.

Charity Nnaji said:
“They can confirm from the first set that left the house. Some charge one million a night. One such incident happened right in my presence. One former housemate was telling a Senator on phone that if he could not pay one million naira for a night, he should forget about it”.

Why I will not marry a Nigerian woman – Super Eagles’ Coach, Gernot Rohr

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has given reasons he will not marry a Nigerian woman.

Just like former Nigerian manager, Clemens Westerhof got hooked to a Zimbabwean lady during his sojourn in Africa, Rohr, when asked in an interview with the Sun if he would consider marrying a Nigerian lady, said it would be difficult.

He cited cultural background and language difference as main reasons he won’t marry a Nigerian.

Rohr, a Franco-German replaced former Nigerian international, Sunday Oliseh as Super Eagles coach.

Asked if he would likely take a second wife in Nigeria just as Clemens Westerhof did in Africa, he said, “My president (Amaju Pinnick) joked about it recently.

“He said he was going to hand me a Nigerian woman and we all laughed about it.

“To be sincere, Nigerian ladies are very beautiful and tempting but it is going to be very difficult to marry one. Language and cultural background will be a serious barrier.”

“How my friend tried to forcefully sleep with me after being nice” — Nigerian Lady writes

friend

A Nigerian Lady has shared a story about how her friend tried having his way with her, when he was being nice initially.

The user, @Mhiz_merci shared the story below:

Sometime in 2016 I was flying from Lagos to Abuja in the evening. Aero rescheduled the flight and I ended up getting to Abj after 11pm . I was to go to school(Nasarawa state university) straight and it was already late. Before I will get to Nyanya

There won’t be a car for keffi as it was too late already. My sister suggested I sit at the airport and press my phone till morning then be on my way, it seemed like the best option since I didn’t want to waste money that I did not have on hotel.

I settled down to chatting while waiting for 4am to be on my way. Seyi(a guy I met once at dreams garden in Abj) was online and he was asking how was school, I replied by saying I wasn’t in school, travelled and bla bla bla. Seyi said why sleep at the airport, you can come To my place, I thanked him and declined, reason being, Yes we’ve been chatting well but we’ve only met once and I didn’t know him beyond our chats and phone calls after the first day we met. he called me on the phone and convinced me to come over, said what I’m I scared of?

He is not a child and can’t go to bed knowing his friend is stranded at the airport. Long story short I took a cab to wuse and met Seyi then the drive to his house somewhere around Apo extension. He went to bed straight, I’m naturally a night person plus the fact that I was

Not in a familiar place, I could not sleep. Had my bath then started pressing my phone. Seyi woke up later and started trying to touch me, I told him no, got to the point where I started pleading and crying because he was becoming difficult. In his words “Things cannot

always go your way” . After plenty begging and crying I asked him “Do you want me to leave your house this night?” Seyi said yes, if you cannot have sex with me you will have to leave. I was fully clothed already so I just wore a sweatshirt on the top I was wearing and

Picked my small traveling bag. I walked out of the door, it was 2:18am. Made the long walk to the estate gate and asked the security guys if I can get a cab they said no. I asked if can sit with them till daybreak and they agreed. Few minutes later

Seyi appeared at the gate and asked the security guys “What is she doing here? Are people allowed to sit here? The guys started saying no Sir and he told them if she can’t go back to where she is coming from let her go out. They were all staring at me , I told them to open the gate and I sat outside. I was sobbing quietly, minutes later Seyi came outside to tell me He was sorry, he didn’t know I have mind like this, please he can’t sleep knowing I’m out here, bla bla bla. I didn’t say a word to him. He stood there with me and talked plenty.

In my mind, I was just saying the God that has delivered me from that lions den nothing is taking me back there. Seyi went inside, drove his car out and told me to enter the car, that he will take me to wherever I want to go in Abuja that night. It was almost dawn by this time. I refused, he begged me for over 30 mins until I saw another car coming from a distance, since it’s a lonely and untarred road that leads to the estate I entered the car so there can be another car behind us Incase he tries something funny.

that was how we drove to the junction, where the tarred road begins and we saw two cabs and the drivers gisting. I told him to drop me. I came down and asked one of the cab men(an older man) if he can take me to Nyanya he said yes, called a big amount.

Seyi was trying to negotiate price and all, without saying a word to Seyi I entered the cab, Baba please let’s go. The moment the Baba started started moving that was when my tears and serious sobbing appeared from nowhere. My God, the man asked me what.

Was wrong and I explained to him. He consoled me and dropped some words of wisdom. Did not drop me at Nyanya but took me to the house I was going to in Karu, I had to sit outside and wait for the time for prayers then some Muslims going for prayers opened the gate and I went in.

I don’t tell this story because even me I find it difficult to accept that this poo happened to me, somehow it still makes me emotional when ever I remember. And anytime I’m asked what’s the most terrible experience I’ve ever had, I don’t share this but this is really the most horrible experience I have ever had in my life. I never called, texted or insulted Seyi. He called that morning I don’t pick then sent a text that he wanted to be sure if I got to where I was going to safe. I replied in the affirmative and that was all..

I decided to share this story after seeing a similar story shared on an Instagram page today. This has affected my meeting new people and trusting people enough to visit them even after meeting up in open places .

Ladies let’s be careful.

Thanks for reading.

Meanwhile, during Nina’s media tour, she made a stop at Beat FM, and had a chat with Toolz where she officially dumped Collins for Miracle.

In an interview with Toolz of Beat FM on Friday, she revealed that she has not spoken with Collins since she came back to Nigeria.

Nina also said she was attracted to eventual winner, Miracle, because things happened naturally between them.

When I got into the house, Miracle and I bonded very well. Everything happened naturally,” she said.

When Nina revealed that she had dated Collins for a year, Toolz asked if she had reached out to him.

“I don’t think I want to do that. I don’t want any negative vibes around me right me,” she replied.

Old chat

Before Nina went into the Big Brother House, she had a really strong relationship with her former boyfriend, Collins, and they both flaunted their love on Social media, Facebook especially.

In a post shared by Nina herself, in October 2016, Nina explained why she loved Collins, adding that their love is forever, and nothing can probably hinder it.

“Do u guys know y I luv Collinz Onyex…..He is d male version on me ..and trust me we are ride or die,” she wrote.

In reply, Collins wrote: “Awww….you are so sweet, love you foreva.”

According to reports, Collins, Nina’s boyfriend of over a year, was the one who encouraged her to go for the reality show.

However, since coming out of the house, they have not spoken, no doubt due to her relationship with Miracle in the house. And Nina has said she doesn’t intend to call him or his family and friends because she doesn’t want negative vibes.

Collins friend, Cythia, also wrote an open letter to Nina. In the note titled, “Dear Nina”, she wrote:

“Dear Nina, First of all I want to congratulate you on Your achievement on being one of the finalist of the just concluded #BBNaijaDoublewahala..

“Since the 2nd week of the show when you supposedly fell in love with fellow Housemate miracle, please note that Collins had given up on the notion that you will come back to him so please desist from Slandering him and saying things that will hurt him more than you already have.

“Mind you he supported you to the very end,I helped him create the #Ninaivy Facebook page even before the show went live.. we all did..despite being mad at you we all still supported you till the end..

“Please note : this is not a reprimand but an appeal to you and everyone that has been Dragging my Gee on social media to let him be.

“Collins Nwamuo aka Spirit Child like I fondly call him will be fine but his hurt will go away faster if you stop dragging him on social media ..

“Nina Live and prosper..but Please be Humble and Don’t let life Humble you..

“#PS Collins is not a Child Collins is not based in Owerri Collins is not a Barber Collins is a Graduate of banking and Finance he graduated in 2012..

#BBNaija : People think i’m a bitter person, I don’t even know what that means – Cee-C

bitter person

First runner-up in the just concluded Big Brother Naija, Cynthia Nwadiora, aka Cee C, tells TOFARATI IGE about her time in the house and her future plans.

When did you decide to participate in Big Brother Naija?

A few weeks after I saw the advert on Instagram, I decided to attend the audition and I was successful.

Did you share your plans to participate in the reality show with your family?

No, I did not tell anybody.

How did they react when they found out you were going to be a housemate?

They know I have always wanted to be on TV, so they were not surprised about my decision. The fact that I made it into the house despite the large number of people that auditioned also impressed them.

What are some of the most important lessons you took away from the Big Brother House?

I learnt to live and let live. Also, adversities are opportunities for you to shine, so make the best of it.

If you were to go back into the house, what would you do differently?

I think I would be an older version of myself; this means I would be more mature.

Was your attitude part of your strategy to win the game?

I am always myself. Everything you saw in the house was real.

What do you regret doing while in the house?

I don’t have any regrets.

What’s the next stage for you?

This is a new environment, so I am trying to get used to it. I’m looking at the opportunities I have to know the ones to go for and make money. I hope to act and I’m also a music artiste.

Were you in a relationship before the competition?

No, I wasn’t and I never thought of finding love while in the house. I was there to play a game and I planned to do whatever it took to win.

If you could date one person in the house, who would it be?

Nobody. I wasn’t attracted to anybody in the house. As regards the kind of man I like, the God factor is very important. It also has to be someone who understands and loves me deeply.

You were reportedly mobbed at the airport when you got back to Nigeria. How was the experience?

We had just come out of the house and I didn’t know what to expect. We were just in the house doing our thing; we didn’t even know if people really watched us. However, the reception was overwhelming and I felt loved. It felt good seeing so many people rushing to say hi. As for the attack on me, when you have a large crowd, such a thing is inevitable; I think it was a mistake.

People are insisting that you knew Ebuka before the competition. What is your reaction to that?

I would rather not talk about that please.

What’s the greatest misconception that people have about you?

People think I’m a bitter person and I don’t even know what that means. I am not a bitter person in any way.

If you had won the competition, what were you planning to do with the prize money?

I would have used it to finance my MBA and film school education; I still plan to do that anyway.

How would you describe your personality?

I think I am a very strong person.

What’s the reaction of your family to your behaviour in the house?

They were happy to see me. They have not told me that they were not happy with anything I did in the house.

Meanwhile, chart topping hip-hop act, J Cole delivered a stellar performance Friday night at the Castle Light Unlocks concert alongside several top Nigerian acts.

The much anticipated event which took place at the Eko Hotels and Suites attracted quite a large turnout of young, fun loving Nigerians who came out in their numbers to catch a glimpse of the American superstar.

J Cole, who recently dropped his fifth studio album, KOD, has a large following in Nigeria with fans who have been following the progress of his career since his debut studio album, Cole World.

This was the rappers first appearance in Nigeria and it could not have come at a better time, less than two weeks after the release of his album, which has broken several chart records since its release.

Chart topping hip-hop act, J Cole delivered a stellar performance Friday night at the Castle Light Unlocks concert alongside several top Nigerian acts.

The much anticipated event which took place at the Eko Hotels and Suites attracted quite a large turnout of young, fun loving Nigerians who came out in their numbers to catch a glimpse of the American superstar.

J Cole, who recently dropped his fifth studio album, KOD, has a large following in Nigeria with fans who have been following the progress of his career since his debut studio album, Cole World.

This was the rappers first appearance in Nigeria and it could not have come at a better time, less than two weeks after the release of his album, which has broken several chart records since its release.

The show which was hosted by the duo of Nigeria’s D.O.T.U.N and South Africa’s Pearl Thusi opened with performances from several Nigerian deejays and artistes taking turns to thrill the audience.

Themed in a 10 minute ‘versus’ mode, it brought out top performances from the likes of M.I and Ycee, Falz and Tiwa Savage.

For Wizkid, it was a night to forget as coupled with technical issues, his low energy and lack of cohesion made his performance look unplanned and disjointed.

Davido was however impressive with his set, from the selection of songs, bringing members of his crew on stage and his grand entrance, will leave a lasting memory in the mind of the fans.

But the night belonged to one person and the anxious crowd began to chant his name immediately after Davido left the stage.

At exactly 2.05am, Saturday morning, the man of the hour took to the stage in a Nigerian jersey and delivered a standout act.

Performing from his large catalog of songs from past albums like Cole World, 4YourEyezOnly and even tracks off the new album KOD, like the title track, Photograph and Motiv8, J Cole did not disappoint as his energy and crowd engagement was a delight to watch.

Lasting almost an hour, the rapper who was visibly surprised by the crowd’s reception to his songs rounded up his performance with ‘No Role Model’ , fully justifying why he is the man of the moment.

The performance will go down as one of the most memorable showings by an international artist on Nigerian soil, and it once again confirmed how much Nigerian youths embrace and have been influenced by sounds from the other side.

The night also witnessed top artists like Simi, Banky W, Ikechukwu Killz, who were there as fans of J Cole.

#BBNaija: Tobi Bakre says Efe was voted out of pity

Tobi Bakre has thrown jabs at the winner of Big Brother Naija 2017 See Gobe, Efe Ejeba.

In a recent chat with Punch, Tobi who came 3rd in the 2018 BBNaija show, reportedly said many people voted the last winner out of pity.

What he said when asked how he felt when he made it to the final three of the reality show

I was so happy when I made it to the final three. I was very happy because I knew that at that stage, anyone of us could emerge as the winner. We did not know the amount of love people had for us outside the house.

I particularly wanted people to love me and see the values that I had because I knew that whenever I left the house, that is what people would still love about me.

Personally, I think that in the last Big Brother that held, people voted for the winner out of pity not because they really saw value or potential in the winner, that is just my personal opinion, I stand to be corrected. But as for me, I wanted to go to the house and let people love me to the extent that when I leave the house, I would be a mentor to other people based on my behaviour in the house. I wanted people to still want to know about the Tobi brand after the show and that was my driving force.

#BBNaija: This is not the time to be in a relationship with Alex – Tobi Bakre

Tobi Bakre has opened up on his time in the house, his relationship with Cee-c, and also Alex coming into the picture.

Tobi Bakre in an interview with Punch recently was asked why he moved from Cee-C to Alex after their relationship turned sour.

The second runner-up in his response said he didn’t move on to Alex and what they felt for each other didn’t happen instantly.

On moving on to Alex

I did not move on to Alex; neither was it a fast move. Within the first three weeks, CeeCee and I had a very good relationship but for another six weeks, we began to have issues but Alex and I had always been casual friends from the onset.

When Leo left, we decided to talk a lot more and in the house, typically, you always had that one person you always confided in and both of us happened to be each other’s confidant.

So we got closer and got to understand each other better. It was a case of us getting to know each other better and it was a gradual process.

It was not until the last two weeks to the end of the show that we became very close and a week to the end of the show, we realized that we shared some feelings with each other.

It did not happen instantly. It was a very gradual process. Three months is a long time for a lot of things to happen.

On if he’s in a relationship with Alex?

The truth is that we like each other but the Big Brother has presented us with a very big opportunity we could actually dilly dally with our relationship and work but this is not the best time for anybody to be in a relationship.

Personally, I advised her that this is not the time to be in a relationship, it is a time to focus on your goals and everything you want to achieve in life.

When you get to that comfort zone that you have achieved everything, you desire you can entertain a relationship. That was my advice to her.

I told her that I like her and I am sure she likes me as well but we should maintain a cordial relationship at the moment and keep our friendship going as we achieve things both collectively and individually.

When we get to a stage in our friendship where we feel that we have done well and we have grown together, then maybe we could be together.

When we get there or if we ever get there, the world would know.

SS1 Female student stabs classmate in the eye for refusing to join their cult

SS1 female student

An SS1 female student identified as Josephine, along with her gang members have allegedly damaged the right eye of one Lilian Friday.

She is also an SS1 student of Community Secondary School, Otuoke, Bayelsa State.

The bizzare incident which occurred yesterday evening left many shocked as it was revealed that the suspected cultist, also an SS1 student of the same secondary school is said to have been mounting pressure and persuading Lilian to join her cult group.

The victim’s persistent refusal provoked the suspect and she vowed to disfigure Lillian’s face.

Lilian was attacked late yesterday, while returning from her uncle’s residence place when she met her classmate who insisted that she must join her cult group.

Consequently, the two classmates started fighting, and then the suspect alerted her gang members, who came along and had the victim held to the ground, stabbed her right eye and then took off.

Sadly, efforts to arrest the suspect have not been successful, as the Otuoke community is yet to grant arrest warrant to the parents of the victim, because it is against their practice for someone to make arrest in the community without the approval of its leadership.

#BBNaija: Cee-c reacts to viral photo of her and Ebuka at a pageantry

Cee-C reacts

Yesterday, Ebuka had an interview with Beat FM’s Toolz where he talked about his ‘alleged’ relationship with BBNaija’s housemate Cee-C.

Ebuka had said he had never met Cee-C and the first time he met her was on the stage of Big Brother Naija opening show when other housemates were entering the house.

Cee-C, while in the house had told other housemates that she met Ebuka before she came in right the house and once met him for a slot to be part of the BBNaija reality show.

However, a photo surfaced last night of Cee-C during her pageant days where Ebuka was the host of the beauty pageant but now Cee-C has addressed the issue.

Thanking the different sponsors they have been visiting during their media rounds, Cee-C wrote:

I know i have alot to address and answer but I want to address this particular issue.

An interview of someone I respect, admire and see as my mentor was drawn to my attention. Like I said in the house I met @ebuka at an event he hosted, Yo!!! the fact that you meet somebody doesn’t mean that the person has to remember you. @ebuka is HUuuuGE in this industry and probably meets over 100,000 people a week, so therefore he has every right to say he has not met ME. What I said in the house was from the view of someone who does not understand the industry. Guys I have met and had conservations with alot of people this week, that would as well say they have met me this week too and I can’t even remember.

To my fans, I do appreciate you all for always having my back, mehn!! where did you guys get that picture from????

I advise we take it easy with the bashing, negativity, etc

Love You All,

Ceec❤?

Nigerian man exposes face of lady who sent him her “indecent” photo on Whatsapp

Nigerian man exposes

Nigerian man exposes face of lady who sent him her indecent photo on Whatsapp in order to request for help from him.

The foundation owner shared on social media, the nude picture of a lady whom he said is one of those who usually request for help from him on his platform.

He however censored her body but revealed her face to serve as a warning to others who might to send him nudes.

According to him, this particular lady threatened to send him the nudes if he didn’t reply her messages – he presumably didn’t reply her and so she carried out her threat.

He wrote:

”After warning severally on this platform that Im receiving too many nudes from those requesting for help, its driving me crazy and distracting. My phone saves pics automatically..

I’m afraid to show people things on my phone cos I don’t know how many more naked bodies would have lined up again since the last time I deleted.

We have agreed on this forum to expose them, ba?

This girl is a scape goat cos hers came as a threat.

Pls stop people, just stop. There’s no shape you wanna show that I’ve never seen before, you cannot lure me into approving you.

Anyways, if you have sent me naked pics because I have not opened your mail, go and delete. Next time I will show your whole body, name and handle. I will not bring this post down.

Maybe the fear of being exposed will make people stop.

Abi how do we combat men that request for sex before helping when y’all send unrequested nudes to strangers.

Lets put on our bras and pants for now.
Pls lets do normal.

“Leave Senator Dino Melaye alone” — Actress Maryam Charles

Popular Actress, Maryam Charles has spoken about the “unfair” treatment meted on Senator Melaye.

The Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye earlier claimed he is being denied access to his family, lawyers and food.

Melaye is currently on admission at the National Hospital in Abuja after sustaining injuries while trying to escape from the police.

The police were driving him to court in Kogi, when he jumped out of the vehicle.

Writing on Her Instagram page, Maryam said;

“Leave Senator Dino Melaye alone. I watched in amazement how Senator Dino Melaye was been treated by men of the Nigerian police. My amazement turned into shock when I saw Dino on the floor after he alleged that ‘they’ wanted to inject him with an unknown substance.

“I don’t understand what led to his arrest in the first place but I know this is no way to treat a serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. How many senators can boast of the impact Dino has had in his time as a lawmaker?”

“Some may laugh at him and call him the dancing senator, or unserious lawmaker but you have to admit that Dino is playing his part and is still playing his part in the development of this country.”

“This is a man who stood against corruption in the last regime and now, as a lawmaker sponsored bills all aimed at bettering the life of the common Nigerian.”

“If our lawmaker can be harassed in this manner, what hope does the average Nigerian have? Guys, our security forces need to treat Dino with respect. #FreeDinoMelaye”
