Big Brother Naija 2018 finalist, Tobi, has shared the feeling he felt when he finally kissed his former romantic partner, Cee-c during the show.
Tobi, who has been on media tour after finishing in the top five in the Double Wahala edition of the reality television show, spoke with Punch recently.
Tobi said he was surprised when the long awaited kiss finally came, adding that even when it came, he felt Cee-c was playing game.
While in the Big Brother House, Cee-c and Tobi were chosen as strategic partners, a relationship which later brewed into a somewhat romantic affair.
But unlike other partners who shared kisses freely, Cee-c found it difficult to be that intimate with Tobi.
It took a long while before Tobi kissed Cee-c but it finally happened. Asked how he felt about the kiss, Tobi said,
“I actually did not see us kissing because I felt she had a picture she wanted to paint to the world, so I never really expected a kiss despite the fact that we played around the house and it was almost as if we were flirting with each other.
“Even when she kissed me, I thought she was playing a game with me and this is me being honest.
“The kiss came to me as a surprise and for a few days, I was worried because I began to wonder what game she was playing.

According to reports making the rounds on Facebook, a Nigerian lady has been declared insane after she was dropped off on the road by a moving vehicle.
Reports on Facebook reveal that yesterday evening, a young Nigerian lady ran mad after she was dropped off by a vehicle in front of Kilimanjaro fast food in Owerri.
A Facebook user, who shared the news with videos, wrote,
Breaking: This girl run mad this evening in front of Kilimanjaro fast food / Skin Xclusive boutique Ikenegbu Owerri after one flashy car dropped her and ran away.. girls pls make una take am easy kwanu.. too much waka waka is very bad and jumping from one man to another in the name of RUNS is osheyyy baddest.. for all my slay queens pls mind who u run sh*t with Biko ?? bad customers plenty for street now
As at the time of filing this report, it was gathered that she was rushed to a nearby church and a pastor has healed her spiritually… (photos below) More details on this will follow soon.
In another episode of things-we-see-on-Nigerian-social-media, a lady has heavily planted her lips on that of her maybe ‘friend’ or ‘partner’.
As she celebrated her birthday sometime in March, this Nigerian lady took to her Facebook page to share photos she took while celebrating her special day – one of these photos show her lips locking with that of another female.
Questionably, the photos she took only show her with female friends and with the photo of her kissing one of them, it has tongues wagging whether it’s a clique of homosexuals.
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Leo recently dropped an eyebrow raising comment on fellow housemate, Cee-C’s Instagram page.
The comment has driven Cee-C’s fans gaga as they say his former in-house love interest, Alex will get a taste of her own medicine after they accuse her of not letting Cee-C reconcile with Tobi.
Leo wrote,
‘@Cee-Official See you tomorrow ?’
Recall that Cee-C had always made it clear, Leo is the only male contestant she could date apart from Tobi.
Well, we never might know, they just might be the next raving Big Brother Naija couple… Would it be such a bad thing?
Nollywood veteran actress, Rita Dominic has in light of the controversy trail former housemate, Nina’s love life, dished out a word of advice to the fair skinned beauty.
Rita who has been a staunch supoorter of Miracle and Nina, tweeted,
You do not have to answer every single question that the media asks you. Your personal life is yours. You can choose to keep it private. Learn to say- “Next question please” ?❤
Nina shared a video on social media recently after fans trolled her calling her a gold digger et all because her relationship with Miracle obviously changed when he won the big brother game. [WATCH THE VIDEOS HERE]
In the new video she shared, she says it’s not possible for her to have done all she did in the house with Miracle and expect her boyfriend to still want her. This obviously means she’s ditching Collins and she was abruptly blunt about it.
Well, let’s see if she’s going to heed to the wordings of the actress…
From the look of things, fans of former housemate, Alex, just might not be so happy with her former love interest, Leo following a recent gesture he made towards her.
It should be recalled that Alex and Leo were an item while in the Big Brother house and when Leo got evicted, Alex almost cried her eyeballs out.
After Alex and the other top finalists left the house last Sunday, Leo didn’t for once acknowledge her on social media.
Alex who was voted the most fun housemate during the show was presented a N1 million cheque yesterday, which she shared on social media. Happy that she emerged winner, Leo wrote
“Congratulations darling “
After this, Alex’s fans then attacked him for referring to her as ‘Darling’ – they say he should not come and disturb Alex’s budding love with Tobi who has since declared interest in her.
After former Big Brother Naija housemate, Nina dumped her boyfriend, Collins on national radio, there’s been numerous reactions over her action.
Shortly after revealing that she was ready to continue with Collins despite allegedly getting down with Miracle, the 22 year old recently announced during an interview with Beat FM Lagos that there is no possibility of reconciling with Collins.
This action of hers affected the way her fans see her – many are now of the perception that the N45 million prize won my Miracle and his new found fame must have influenced her selfish decision.
One of her fans who’s not in the league of dubbing her gold digger, but actually supports her decision, is popular Twitter user, Eric Okafor.
Eric Okafor says Collins is just a kid, so it’s cool if he got dumped by her… Sharing a photo of the gentleman on his Twitter page, he wrote,
So this is Nina’s ex that you people are taking panadol for. He’s just a kid and y’all are acting like he sponsored her through school in hopes to marry her. Common stop it! #BBNaija

Kaywise Entertainments present a new single by DJ Kaywise, titled “See Mary See Jesus” featuring the YBNL Boss Olamide on this Young John produced tune.
“See Mary See Jesus” is DJ Kaywise first official release of the year 2018 as it was sequel to the viral success of “Informate” on which he feature the mavin records first Lady Tiwa Savage.
DJ Neptune continues preparation for his ‘Greatness’ album scheduled for release in May with a new single, titled “Shawa Shawa”.
The single features an all star collaboration as he teams up with Larry Gaaga of the ‘Gaga Shuffle’ fame, YBNL boss Olamide, Indigenous rapper CDQ and Slimcase of the ‘Shaku Shaku’ fame.
‘Shawa Shawa’ is tailor made for the dance floor as each artist take turn to deliver a humorous and vibey verse. This is also going to be the last single off the album.
Naira marley first emerged on the U.K. scene with “Marry Juana” in 2014, a lilting summertime bop using clever wordplay to extoll the virtues of weed.
Since then, he’s put out a steady stream of tunes straddling both London and Lagos.
His latest single, the delightfully joyous “Issa Goal,” has spawned thousands of videos of fans doing the shaku shaku.
The track features guest verses from Nigerian stars Lil Kesh and Olamide, and is something of an official-unofficial anthem for Nigeria’s soccer team as it prepares to compete in this summer’s World Cup.
Its video is a beautiful, green-and-white celebration in the metropolis of Lagos.
The Federal High Court, Abuja on Friday fixed April 30 to hear a suit filed by Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege against the Senate, the Senate President and Attorney-General of the Federation.
Omo-Agege, who represents Delta Central Senatorial district, filed the suit to challenge his suspension from the Senate.
The judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba fixed the date after refusing to vacate an earlier order he made granting accelerated hearing of the matter.
The Counsel to Omo-Agege, Mr Alex Izinyon, (SAN) had approached the court with an ex parte motion seeking an injunction against the Senate, but the court declined.
The court then asked Izinyon to put the respondents on notice. Justice Dimgba ordered that the Senate and Senate president to show cause why the reliefs sought by the senator should not be granted.
The court gave the respondents seven days to show cause, ordered an accelerated hearing of the matter and adjourned to April 27, for definite hearing.
However, when the matter was called, Izinyon informed the court that he was ready to move his motion saying that the matter was slated for hearing of the substantive case.
Izinyon also told the court that the respondents had been duly served with the originating summon.
But Mr Mahmud Magaji, (SAN), counsel to the Senate and Senate president, raised an objection, saying that he had filed a memorandum of conditional appearance.
Magaji said he filed an application, seeking the court to set aside its order which granted abridgement of time to hear the matter.
The counsel maintained that he was just briefed of the matter on April 19, and that he had not sighted any of the originating processes.
The judge, however, said that the court had proof that the Senate and the Senate president had been served through clerk of the Senate.
“I have to protect the integrity of the court. On two occasions, this court has respected the Senate and as well, I expect the Senate to respect the court,” Dimgba said.
He directed the respondents to serve advance copies of their counter affidavits and other processes on the plaintiffs through email, not later than 7 p.m, April 27.
The judge adjourned the matter until April 30 for hearing of the substantive suit.
Omo-Agege is asking the court to among other reliefs; grant an order restraining the defendants, their servants, agents, privies or officers from interfering with his rights and privileges as a Senator.
“An order of perpetual injunction, restraining the defendants, their servants, agents, privies or officers from interfering with the plaintiff’s rights and or privileges, as a Senator.
The reliefs also including ‘’preventing him from entering or remaining within the precinct or chamber of the Senate or National Assembly”, among others.
Poe is a rapper signed on to the Don Jazzy led Mavins Records.
Critics and music pundits have been speculating that he would not enjoy equal attention from the label like Tiwa Savage, Reekado Banks, Korede Bello, Dr. Sid or D’Prince.
But in a chat with Showtime, he revealed that contrary to public opinion, he enjoys the same attention and benefits his label mates enjoy.
“I don’t agree that Mavin Records hasn’t done much to give me visibility because I feel like each artiste is different. I also feel one of the most important things people need to understand is that we’re nine artistes on the label; everyone is different, the timing is different for every single artiste and there is a period of incubation, creating your sound, finding your feet, finding out which direction to go”, he said.
He suggested that because he is a rapper, it may take some time for him to gain popularity like Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello or Reekado Banks.
“I’m the one signed on to the label, everyone is on the outside looking in but I’m the one on the inside so I don’t think the label isn’t giving me much attention. I feel the attention and for me I know that it’s going to take longer because I rap; I don’t sing, when I make music I rap, I write lyrics.
Recalling the most painful love experience he has had to grapple with in a chat with Showtime, Adekunle Gold said he was heartbroken when he discovered that his ex- lover had another lover while she was also in a relationship with him.
“My most painful love experience would be dating a girl that had a boyfriend and I did not know. It’s actually the reason I wrote ‘Nurse Alabere’, in my new album”, he said.
Unlike some men who would resort to playing games after such a heart-rending experience, Adekunle Gold has found love again and he is proud to affirm that she is the very understanding type who has found a way to cope with his celebrity status.
“Yes I have a girlfriend and she is the understanding type”, he said.
Cynthia Morgan has been missing for a long time and people have been asking questions.
Her absence from social events and even social media has been so noticeable that Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi asked about her whereabouts in a tweet last week.
According to Saturday Beats, the music artiste is currently facing financial difficulties.
Saturday Beats exclusively obtained court documents showing that Cynthia Morgan has been charged to the Ikeja High Court for failure to pay her rent at her Omole apartment.
Sadly, it was learnt that on the same day the artiste was served court papers for defaulting on payment of rent, she was also served with court papers for evading tax.
A source close to the owner of the apartment where Cynthia Morgan currently lives told Saturday Beats the amount she owed, which tallies with the information on the court papers obtained by Saturday Beats.
The source added that the singer’s brother has been begging the owner of the apartment for further grace period even though the initial six months grace given to the artiste ended last month.
“Ever since she moved into the apartment as a tenant, the owner of the building has described her as a nightmare. She has since been given quit notice.
“At a point, the owner of the house didn’t even know who was staying in the flat because every day, new faces showed up at the apartment and they would leave the gate open at odd hours.
“Young scary looking boys with different hair colours come around and they smoke in the compound.
“They disturb the nice couple living in the flat upstairs, who have been complaining that they can’t even let their kids play in the compound because of the type of people they see around.
“She has owed waste bills for over a year. They always play loud music at odd hours of the day. Funnily enough, the couple who live upstairs are also popular; the man is a very popular celebrity designer but I would not want to mention his name.
“His wife always complains that her home help sweeps cigarette butts everywhere all the time.
“Cynthia Morgan decided at a point that she was going to be recording in her room.
“When the noise was too much, the owner of the house had to talk to her about it. She has been given quit notice.
“The six months grace period is up and she was meant to have moved out last month. She is flat broke.
“They have been pleading that they don’t have anywhere to move to neither can they come up with the rent.
“But it’s her brother that has been speaking on her behalf. We haven’t seen or heard from her but he claims she is always locked up in her room.”
“The court papers have been submitted to Cynthia Morgan’s apartment already and she has been served a court date. She owes N1.3m.
“According to her elder brother, she is in the house. She was also served court papers for not paying up to N3.584m in tax. It was the agent that sued her on behalf of his client.
“He is a very popular real estate agent; he is like a celebrity estate agent. He’s the one that gets apartments for most of them,” the source said.
Despite the court papers with Saturday Beats, when a call was placed across to Cynthia Morgan’s phone, her representative who identified himself simply as Maze denied the fact that she owed money.
He simply said, “I do not know of anything like that and I would say that it is a lie. I do not know about any court papers, so I would say that it is a lie.
“To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware that she owes her landlord any money. I believe that if they claim she smokes, entertains strange guests and leaves the gate open at odd hours, they should have proof.
“In my book, none of this statement is factual. I don’t know about these details and I would say that it is a lie.”
Ufuoma McDermottduring the week celebrated her birthday and she received lovely messages and accolades from family, friends and fans.
One of the most heartwarming messages she received was from her children, who sang for her while they enjoyed a bowl of ice cream.
The actress could not enjoy the moment alone, so she posted the heartwarming video on her Instagram page and unsurprisingly, fans were quick to adore her children.
But unknown to most people, the actress would have lost her son during childbirth if she had not listened to her doctor.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the actress revealed that both her children were born by caesarean section.
She said only ignorance would make a woman refuse to have a CS simply because she wants to be a strong ‘Hebrew woman’.
She said, “Both of my children were born by caesarean section and I still feel very proud of motherhood. My children are my treasure and pride. I don’t think anyone should decide how a child is brought into the world because complications sometimes warrant CS. If everything is good, then the doctor would insist on a normal birth.
“At any point in time, motherhood is motherhood. It makes me laugh when people say that women who have a CS are not strong women. It is amazing how ignorant some people are. My son, for example, was conceived through in vitro fertilisation and when it was time for delivery, there was a breach, which means that the head of the child was up in the uterus as against it being down, so it was not advisable to push at the time.
“I’m glad that I listened to the doctor because, by the time my son was brought out, he had his placenta around his neck. If I had pushed, I might have strangled him. I think it is ignorance when someone comes out to say that she is a strong woman so she has to do normal child delivery. Yet, I am patient with people because I got to a point where I was enlightened.
“Most people that say they are Hebrew women speak from what they have been taught by their mothers and grandmothers. They have been told that if they do not have the normal childbirth, then they are not Hebrew women. These women can be forgiven because the truth is that a mother is always a mother. When it comes to the process of childbirth, you cannot take away the pain that comes with it whether it is by CS or normal delivery; you would feel the pain whether it is before, during or after childbirth.”
The actress noted that even though her baby was born by CS, she was on her feet the second day just because she wanted to catch a glimpse of her newborn.
“CS is actually a stitch, it is a wound and it takes time to heal but in my case, I was already walking by the second day after giving birth to my son. The labour ward was different from where they kept my son and I could not sleep because I wanted to see him. I was a new mother, the nurses told me to stay put, but I did not listen. I was crying as I dragged myself on the staircase to see my son. In all of it, I think we should just appreciate mothers because they go through a lot. Even if it is an adoption, a mother is a mother and you cannot take that away from her.”
A few weeks ago, ace comedian, Klint Da Drunk, was in the news after a lady identified as Sandra Novo-Jacob alleged that he impregnated her and did not want to take responsibility for the child.
But since the allegation was made, the comedian has kept mum till Saturday Beats approached him at a recent event.
When the comedian was asked about his side of the story, he said that he would address the matter in due time. “Don’t worry about that one. That gist would come out in due time. Just leave that part,” he said.
Taking a trip down memory lane, the comedian said that initially, no one wanted him to pursue a career in comedy, especially as he was portraying himself as a drunkard. He told Saturday Beats that things were so bad that his father once beat him and locked him in a toilet.
“When I first started the Klint Da Drunk character, my parents did not like it at all; in fact, nobody liked it. There was a time my father locked me in a toilet after beating me, then he brought me out after some time, beat me again and told me that if I ever did the character again, I would be in trouble. When he found out that I was going for shows while in school, he threatened not to pay my school fees and truly, he did not pay. I went for other shows, made some money and it was my mother that gave me the other half of the fees. My father did not pay. When my mother was doing that, she did not like it,” he said.
Klint Da Drunk stated that after comedy made him famous, his father was quick to say that his gift was passed down to him from his paternal grandfather.
“When I became successful in my craft, my father came to meet me and told me that I did not make him understand what I was doing at the time he was punishing me. He said that his father used to be very funny too in those days and he was sure I got the gift from his father (my grandfather). I simply told him that I did not get the gift from anybody and I am the originator of comedy in the family and I would pass it down.
“The truth is that I am grateful to my father for not allowing me the full freedom I desired. If he did, I might not have been the comedian I am today. Simply because he told me to quit comedy, I wanted to prove a point and I took it seriously. I knew what I was doing was not wrong or bad, I just wanted to do comedy,” he said.
After the last release titled Mind which was a star studded offering from the Davido Music Worldwide imprint, a new record, titled “Aje” was released.
DMW wastes no time in dishing out the visuals to their latest effort which features – the leader of the gang, Davido, Peruzzi, Yonda and producer Fresh.
The video was shot on location in Dakar, Senegal and it was directed by Twitch Visuals.
A Nigerian social media critic, identified as Iremide, has taken her time to write about Tboss.
According to the lady, she had never appreciated Tboss until today when she stumbled on her Instagram page, only to see a video of her talking about her fears and how she was able to face them and eventually conquer her world.
So I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tboss. I still don’t think I am. Boss Nation, don’t even try to come for me!!! But now, I respect her.
Read her article below;
I was Instagram-trolling this morning. Yes ke, that’s what I use my mornings for. I go about spreading my brand of pepper around my social media domain. But I stopped by Tboss’ Instagram page today and I was positively shocked. There is some video of her talking about her fears. Tboss has a fear? I didn’t think of her that way. She strikes me as being scared of ants and chicken.
That I can relate to. But talking about her fears, for real? Naaah. But today, I saw a different side of her. Many people have that fear. I had that fear and for a long time, I couldn’t even admit it to myself.
So I will tell you about the woman I was, the woman that gave birth to who I am now. I was sort of like Tboss in the Big brother House. I seemed conceited and full of myself. I was stunning and I am not bragging, trust me, God was having a fun day when he created me. I modelled for a bit when I was in the university. I was the chick who walked down the road and there were whistles. It had become a cliché. But I revelled in it.
But you see, the one person I wanted. The one person I needed never looked my way once. My father, the first man I knew left us when I was 8 and married another woman. Just like that! The last day I really saw him, I greeted him good morning and he smiled, touched my hair playfully and walked out of the house forever.
We all were waiting for him anxiously at 3am in the morning till someone came home to explain some ‘things’ to my mother. She sat on the floor, legs spread wide and didn’t get up for hours. If he disappeared and we never saw him, that would have been awesome. But, no! He moved two houses away and got married to my mother’s step sister! Till today, I don’t understand. I have tried to explain it, but mba nothing comes up.
I wasn’t old enough to truly understand but as soon as I was 10 I would go to his house each morning to greet him from the window. He never came out to greet me but he answered. I did that everyday till I was 17 and entered the University. So instead, I sent him money each week from my allowance. You might not understand it. But it made total sense to me.
Because of this -anyone who has done Psychology will relate, I sought validation from men. Older men were my favourite. I was tall, young, gorgeous and in one of the most popular universities in the state. Getting older men wasn’t hard at all, they came in the droves.
But you see these men were mostly married. We never spoke about their wives and I never asked. We had an unspoken understanding. All was great till Dehinde’s wife came to meet me in class! I was too shocked to speak. She was mad and she didn’t mind showing it. She rushed at me and I fled out through the back door.
I spoke to Dehinde and he promised to talk to his wife and we continued. One evening I was walking from school with one of the guys who was after me ( he was a great guy, but he was way too young). I jerked when I heard someone in the dark and the next thing I felt burning powder on my face.
I screamed from the pain and the dark didn’t help. I heard someone laugh and with all my shouts no one came for a long time. The guy beside me had run away.
Later, I found out what happened. Someone had poured acid all over my face and shoulders.
My face was messed up. It was disgusting. My mother never let me look at my face for a month. I wasn’t even going to ask her. I felt my face later and I didn’t need anyone to tell me. My face was gone. When I finally saw my face, I passed out. It was ugly.
My life changed from then on. But you see, I became a new woman. I don’t see my father anymore. I don’t look for him. I haven’t thought about him for the longest time till I began writing this. My fear of validation is gone. It got melted away. I took something horrible and made it into a business. How? I can cover up any scars, marks blemishes.
I specialize in makeup for people with extreme facial imperfections. And I love my job. When I’m not doing that, I troll the internet.
This wasn’t how I planned to face my stupid fears. But I took a grotesque shock and used it to help my fears. That’s my own UNCAGE story. Hehehee… I feel like a celeb …
Just after HKN signed recording artiste, B-Red featured Mavin Records first lady, Tiwa Savage on ‘Connect’, He comes through with a brand new single titled ‘Tire‘.
The song was produced by KrizBeatz and we are expecting the video which has already been shot to be released very soon.
The operatives of Rapid Response Squad have arrested four suspects in Ondo, Edo and Osun States for retailing leaked WASSCE May/June, 2018 Examination question papers on websites and whatsapps platforms.
The suspects namely; Samuel Kayode, 28-year-old from Ondo State, Adebayo Ifeoluwa, 17-year-old from Osun State, Alayande Ahmed and Elusode Festus, 20 years from Edo State were all arrested in their respective states. Samuel Kayode, a part time teacher in two secondary schools based in Ilesa, disclosed that he also taught Physics and Mathematics in a private tutorial class where he assisted candidates who are planning to write the WASSCE examination with questions and already prepared answers for the candidates.
According to Samuel, after working as a tutorial teacher for seven years, he got a part-time employment in two private schools in Ilesa, Osun State, where he also helped students preparing for WASSCE with leaked questions and prepared answers, adding that he did this to make a living.
“I got a part-time teaching job when I couldn’t secure a Government teaching job after graduating for NCE and couldn’t settle for the little salary I’m been paid by my employers, so I decided to help myself with what I have been doing as a tutorial teacher by helping lazy students source for WASSCE examination question and answer via some online platforms that deal in the illegal business.
After registering candidates in their various centers, I then liaise with some anonymous people who we call ‘Web Masters’. The Web Masters have insiders in various examination boards in the country with leaked questions paper and buy such from them”, he explained.
“There are many websites operated by the Web Masters, where leaked WASSCE questions and prepared answers are sold to subscribing candidates. Some of these websites include; www.examloaded.com, www.guruscamp.com, www. ceebook.net, www. Solutionclass.com and www.expotab.com.
They also hawk NECO, GCE and JAMB examinations papers with answers”, he stated.
He explained further, “the contact person on Web master is called ‘Dan’ who doesn’t pick calls but only deal on text messages and WhatsApp messages.
