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

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.
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?”
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.

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”.

The homecoming party for the Top 5 went down yesterday 28th April, at Club Cubana in Victoria Island Lagos.
Big Brother Naija 2018 finalists, Cynthia and Nina have struck a close friendship since their exit from Biggie’s house.
Ceena as they are popularly called both looked stunning at the final homecoming party last night.

Ex-housemates from Double Wahala and See Gobbe were all present, including the host of the show, Ebuka.
See some photos below:

Hollywood A-List actresses, Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira are both in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Black Panther stars are seen in a photo shared by Lupita on her Instagram page which also showed her current location to be Lagos.
“Girls Trip! #Lagos #Nigeria,” she captioned the photo.

After she shared the photo, Hollywood actress Uzo Aduba, who is from Nigeria, reacted by encouraging her to enjoy the country.
Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon also commented, saying she wants to come to Nigeria.
This is the first time Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira will be visiting Nigeria and the reason not yet stated, but it is likely to have something to do with Black Panther.

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.”
Nina had a quick chat with Cool FM, and they played a game. To choose who she’d Smash, Marry and K-ill between Tobi, Miracle and Rico.
Nina says she was gon kill Tobi, but doesn’t know who she’d smash or marry… But will particularly kill Tobi. She also says she doesn’t like Tobi because he’s a gossip.
Watch the video below:
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.
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..
“He’s human…Please Let him Be..#BBN is over.”
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.

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.
Winner of Big Brother Naija, Miracle has his homecoming party tonight and in light of this, he has ditched his signature dreadlocks.
Big brother Naija 2018 winner, Miracle visited a salon earlier this morning and got a clean cut.

During his stay in the Big Brother house, Miracle continued to rock his dreadlocks hairstyle all through his time in the house and fans have kinda gotten used to the look.
Now he’s changed it and we’re wondering which you prefer – whether his dreads or this new look… See below:

Anytime DB Records Boss, D’banj comes with a new music, we all know it’s a banger. This new banger is titled, “Action”.
“Action” is D’Banj’s second track of the year which was premiered after the massive success of “Issa Banger”.
The beautiful tune of Action was perfectly produced by YBNL in-house Producer, Pheelz.
Listen and Enjoy!
Collins friend has written down a message to Nina asking her to desist from dragging him into all her interviews.
Nina’s boyfriend Collins has being in the news since the beginning of the show as she always had reasons to bring him up in every conversation.
Recently in an interview, Nina mentioned she is in love with BBNaija winner Miracle, and doubts if she can continue her relationship with Collins.

This might be what has prompted Collins’ friend to come out to probably speak on his behalf.

The lady who is so pained from all the gist surrounding Collins couldn’t help it but react.
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.

So, it seems Big Brother Naija Finalist, Nina and Bobrisky have fallen out, as Bobrisky just unfollowed her on Instagram and even deleted all her pictures from his page.
Bobrisky is a big fan & supporter of Nina in and outside the house.
Bob even promised Nina luxury items and gifts. Bob yesterday styled Nina’s hair/ dress yesterday and with the help of Tonto Dikeh, bought her a phone..
Now this makes fan wonder why the sudden change of attitude.

A quick check on Bobrisky’s Instagram page shows the cross-dresser has unfollowed Nina, and deleted her pictures from his page. Bobrisky currently follows just 12 people on Instagram:

Also, a quick check on Nina’s Instagram page shows she’s following the cross-dresser:

A security guard threw a fan off stage who ran towards Wizkid to embrace him during his performance at the #Castleliteunlocks event in Lagos.

The video below shows how he was lifted and thrown off the platform to the ground.

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.

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.

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.

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.
