During further investigation by the police of Family Unit, State CID, the real mothers of two of the children were found and arrested at their hotel room in Benin. They all confessed to the crime and admitted that that was their 4th trip to Benin.
Below are some comments culled from the online debate the report sparked ;
One of the thousand reasons I find it hard to give beggars money.. Like the 2 in my area, those guys will be on the floor hammering beans & bread while I pass gently to hustle with empty belle.. With food in their mouth they’ll still be begging smh!
Chai na wa o… why people dey like this na? We dont even know the real beggars on the street anymore
Is this the problem of Nigeria ? Rented right ? The person rent pikin give am to do bizz, agreed and paid for so why arresting her ? Una give her money ?

Celebrity Stylist and Payporte’s creative director, Toyin Lawani of Tiannah’s Empire has reacted to the controversial actions by Housemate, Cee-C after she decided to use a scissor to cut out her outfit for her Saturday Night party, which held yesterday.
Recall, Cee-C labeled the dress as “nonsense”, and even “insulted” payporte for giving her such a horrible dress for the party yesterday.
In reaction to this, Payporte’s creative director, Toyin Lawani as reacted, and below is what she wrote;
As the creative Director Of @payporte Everyone expected Cee C’s dress to Be designed by me Via @elegantebytiannah styling as usual,well to everyone tagging that I made the dress and I should feel insulted she cut it, payporte gives other designers the chance to grow and get known,so we do a mix everytime or payporte themselves come up with the looks a times.
Unfortunately I didn’t design that dress, so you can stop the endlessly tagging and secondly I don’t care what the dress looks like,we go with the theme of the party every week to come up with looks for the house mates, you are to wear what you are given, she’s extremely wrong for ripping the teams hardwork apart and disrespecting that tribe like that, she doesn’t even look the part at al ,the dress is not meant to be a fashion accessory,it’s a role which she’s meant to play the part,simple as abc.
It’s a cultural dress for christ sake,she even went ahead saying is “someone that sat down to sew this dress?” wow,someone’s father and mother didn’t sleep at night cause of that dress,does she know the sleepless nights the team @payporte goes through daily,you people just watch the show and enjoy,you don’t know half the stress the team goes through just to make them look the part for the show,then to send it all the way to South Africa again,it’s not even about ripping the dress,it’s her mannerism, The red transformer dress @elegantebytiannah styling sent her previously was selling for 500k at Tiannahsplacempire,we slashed the price down to 115k on payporte platform so more people can buy the dress cheaper,she still didn’t appreciate it and since the beginning of #bbnaija that’s bn her best look so far,she didn’t even Transform the lower part and rock it as an after party dress,like khloe did,so to me I just think it’s her way,she’s just naturally nasty,others Got difficult outfits but they didn’t rip it apart,Alex had issues tying her Gele but she still wore it ,we could have sent her auto Gele but it’s A game don’t forget ,things are not meant to be easy,she Really owes payporte An apology for that mess up she did and from now on i will be sending her only ugly clothes ????? or none atall. #kingofAllQueens ?
British-Nigerian heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua’s wallet is set to become fatter as he is expected to earn between £18million and £20million, after beating New Zealand’s Joseph Parker in the unification fight in Cardiff on Saturday night.
This new paycheck will take Joshua’s gross earnings from three fights to £50 million, according to reports. Joshua will even take home more money if he faces the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion America’s Deontay Wilder, who recently produced a tenth-round stoppage to beat Joe Ortiz.
The mouth watering fight is being scheduled for the last quarter of the year, according to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn.
The size of Joshua’s paycheck was determined by two factors, his being the home fighter and his being the headline name on the card. Parker is expected to earn £13million, far more than the £1million pocketed by Joshua’s previous opponent, the Cameroonian Carlos Takam. Joshua then pocketed £15million.
Their earnings form a proportion of the revenue from pay-per-view TV sales and sponsorship deals with the bout being shown live on Sky Sports Box Office. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn recently revealed a world unification bout was provisionally pencilled in for November or December 2018.
“The fight with Anthony Joshua is unquestionably the biggest fight in world boxing and anyone that knows me knows how much I would love to stage a fight like that. “The options are that we go in August in America against someone and then Deontay Wilder, or straight into Wilder. But if we do Wilder it will probably be October, November, December.”
Payporte, the official sponsor of Big Brother Naija reality TV show is not happy with Cee-C for ripping the outfit they gave her on Saturday, however cee-c is also not happy with them.
When fellow housemate Nina asked why she didn’t wear the traditional attire they got her for their weekend party, Cee-C said she looked like a character from ‘The Sound of Music’ movie after trying the dress on.
She said; “Me i know say na calabar outfit be this, i see myself inside, e be like sound of music, me i no fit lie or pretend, i no like this cloth. Me i am an Igbo girl, i am not from calabar.”
Watch Video Below;
Nina asks Cee-C why she didn't wear the dress that it looks a fine dress she could have won. Cee-C says she looked liked a character from 'Sounds of Music". She says Payporte fell her hand. – .#bbnaija#bbnaijafans#doublewahalapic.twitter.com/pjkiIFyeqj
Payporte, reacting to CeeC’s action wrote on its official social media page, “PayPorte is very dis-pleased by the comments made by @ceec_official about the outfit given to her.
“We take out time to style all housemates with respect to the theme of every Saturday party. We consider this a disrespect to our brand and consider this offensive.”
However, Big brother is yet to disclose if any punishment awaits Cee-c’s actions.
Explaining why she tore the outfit, Cee-c told Khloe that she is Igbo not from Akwa Ibom.
“Payporte come and take your cloth! I hope you saw what I did to it.
“Yes I tore it. I am proudly Igbo not from Akwa Ibom,” Cee-c said.

Miracle’s win might have been a reason to celebrate for him and his, but his counterparts couldn’t have been happy with his last minute victory. His sudden championing mimicked Lolu’s win last week. While everyone thought the game had ended and could have sworn Miracle had banked the Million, Lolu came, raced and conquered the million. Nina, Tobi and Alex were unsurprisingly the most excited about Miracle’s win.
As per norm, Biggie rewarded the Housemates with a few bottles of liquid courage and had the House buzzing with celebratory wails. While the ladies negotiated their bath prices and prepared themselves for good wash ups, the guys popped bottles and gulped away at their courage.
Thanks to their very intense closet conversation, Anto and Lolu seemed to have found their ‘good’ place as she voluntarily massaged his head and judging by the way he sweetly declared her his girl, Lolu couldn’t have been in better hands. This sudden turn of events had Tobi questioning Anto’s motives and trying to find out what was going on because just a night ago, Anto seemed cozy beside him while Lolu found solace in the bath tub. Khloe caught on to the narrative and offered her unsolicited advice, reminding Tobi just how much Cee-C was into him, in case he’d forgotten.
When everyone was mud free and ready, the Housemates gathered in the kitchen and had a mini feast and enjoyed a game of beer pong. With Khloe’s broken bars for entertainments, the Housemates had a long night ahead of them.
Waking Up Alex’ Way
For the past 62 days, the Housemates have had time to enjoy their sleep on weekends without being woken up by Big Brother’s strange sounding alarm. However, today was a bit different when Alex took the initiative of being the alarm itself.
Much to their amazement, they had no option but to wake up as Alex wasn’t backing down until she got the satisfaction that everyone was awake.
Wakey, Wakey
Known for being unapologetically loud, the pestering of her fellow Housemates wasn’t unexpected of her.
As if banging the spoon against the bowl wasn’t enough, Alex made it a point that she reached each and every individual’s ear as she walked from bed to bed.
Tobi on the other hand didn’t hear the end of it as the pestering from the Shaku Shaku queen continued.
Let’s Talk About It
However, things flipped this morning when Housemates opted to talk about the benefits of the workouts instead of going to the Arena and working out.
Normally, the weekends are all about rest for the Housemates and waking up for their daily workout isn’t something they worry about.
Cee-C, Teddy A and BamBam spoke highly of the workouts Biggie makes them do every day.
With less than four weeks the trio have vowed to keep on exercising, with Teddy A mentioning that if someone becomes a public figure, they should at least make an effort to look good.
Workout, Why Not?
While others were preparing food, Tobi and Alex had their workout moment in the garden. Though unaware of the others’ chat, they unconsciously confirmed that working out is good.
Sugar Rush
The treats from Biggie this afternoon, rewarding Miracle for winning the Arena games, seem to have triggered an already existing hype from Alex.
Anyone looking for peace in the House should basically wait for Alex to go to sleep, which is unlikely any moment from now.
A Sweet Storm
Housemates had a rather slow start of the weekend, and so it came as a delightful surprise when they saw two Ninjas enter the House with huge trays of colorful individual cups that they laid on the coffee table. Biggie had sent them with some very sweet treats to celebrate their victory of the night before.
Earlier today, Alex had taken it upon herself to bang the House out of bed as she walked from room to room beating a metallic spoon against a dish to her peers’ greatest annoyance. At least this unusual alarm-clock left them no other choice than begrudgingly leaving their beds. Yet even after breakfast, Housemates were still lazing around wearing pyjamas. Even Miracle who had won with flying colours had to be dragged out of bed by the feet and escorted by the Ninja to the lounge to unveil his recompense.
The Storm Before the Strike
The sight and smell of the cups of ice-creams, chocolate and all-sugary desserts quickly got Housemates back on their feet as they needed no persuasion to let the sweet storm sweep through their bodies. Judging by the sparkle in their eyes, and satisfaction on their faces, Housemates made no attempt at hiding their sweet tooth. Everyone was happily munching, licking spoons, chewing and making crunchy noises of contentment.
Yet with a sugar high, the chit-chats started again, as if no one seemed to remember that Evictions were just around the corner of the Double Wahala House.
The Super Eagles Fever
In the spirit of connecting with greatness, the Housemates have spent the afternoon making art work and hence showing support to the Nigerian National Football team.
The Super eagles as affectionately known will be representing the country in the upcoming World Cup in June.
Dressed in their Supersport t-shirts the Housemates have really gone out of their way to ensure the message that translates from their pieces are of Nigerian pride.
Papers, Scissors and Paints
In their efforts to conveying a very special message to their fellow countrymen, the Housemates have somehow turned the Big Brother House into an art studio.
Papers, scissors and paintings have been all they concentrated on and even though there’s a party later in the evening, they have made sure that their show of support for the Super Eagles takes priority.
Presentation and Party Mood
It hasn’t been all seriousness in House, the Housemates have taken time out to dance in between their display of creativity, which of course is sparked by the thought of having to enjoy a few cold ones after their work.
What makes it more interesting is the fact that, for the first time, apart from partying with only the DJ, Ebuka will grace them with his presence.
With all the effort that they’ve shown, the outcome of the arty crafts will be interesting to see.
BamBam Evicted!
Last night was full of surprises from Biggie, the euphoria from the Saturday party was quickly turned to pure shock as BamBam landed up getting Evicted.
All Shook Up
Biggie really swicthed things up this evening, but the pinnacle moment of shock came after Ebuka partied with the Housemates and went into the House with them. He then asked them all to sit down in the lounge, all of a sudden the mystery of the special guest was put to rest when Steve, the auditor from Deloitte rang the doorbell. He handed Ebuka the envelope and in an instant it was all over for BamBam. She looked utterly flabberghasted, as did everyone else in the room. It was a sudden and brutal end to her journey in the House.
Teddy in Tears
In true Big Brother fashion, BamBam did not have much time to leave the House and only had a swift moment to say goodbye to her lover in the House. Teddy A and BamBam shared a kiss and said goodbye but after she left he was in pieces. Crying in the bedroom while Alex tried to console him. He kept his sunglasses on but the shock was written all over his face and he was visibly distraught.
BamBam and Teddy A.
Twists
Tonight was just one twist after another, first the party location changed to the Arena, then it was Saxokay absolutely killed it as the live act for the night as opposed to a DJ. Ebuka, looking dapper as ever, came to party with the Housemates and then entered the House. All in all, no one ever could of expected this evening’s events. It was the wildest ride yet!
What did you think of BamBam’s exit from the House?
Controversial Media Personality and covener of the #FreeTheSheeple movement – Daddy Freeze, has shared his thoughts about BBnaija ex-housemate BamBam who was evicted last night .
Daddy Freeze sympathized with BamBam saying that if she had won the N45 Million grand prize, her tithe of N4.5 Million would have appeased the ‘gods’ and as such would not face backlash from the HYPOCRITICAL world alone over her behaviour when she was in the house.
It is no longer news that BamBam fell deeply in love with her fellow housemate Teddy A, and they were later filmed having sex in the toilet.
Daddy Freeze wrote: “BamBam has a lot of explaining to to to her parents and to her church..Especially since she didn’t win the N45 million. Imagine how far N4.5million tithe would have gone to appease the gods. I feel for her, especially since she has to face this hypocritical world, ALONE #BBNaija”
Nigerian singer and model, Papa, has many things that are unique about her. First, at the mention of her name, one expects to see a guy, probably with dreadlocks and some bristling muscles, but Papa is a girl, a delectable one at that.
In a recent interview with Vanguardngr, the Abia State born singer whose real name is Princess Nnochiri gave some insight on her views on love and sexuality.
“My biggest selling point is in my name. I enjoy the controversy my name creates. At the mention of my name everyone expects to see a guy but at the end of the day it turns out to be a sexy girl. Yes, I am sexy and the style of my music and personality is very unique and original,” she said.
Papa also asserted that most men fall in love out of frustration and poverty.
According to her: “Only 10% of Nigerian men truly mean it when they say they are in love. .
Some fall in love out of frustration, poverty, financial insecurity and other benefits, only few people in this country know what true love means.”
Here is the moment Cee-C made a nasty remark about her Payporte dress before she ripped the traditional attire and turned it into a crop top.
In the video footage, Cee-C can be heard saying; “So na person sitdown do this thing?’ before she then used a scissor on the dress and made a crop top out of it.”
The Official Sponsor of the Big Brother Naija Reality TV Show, Payporte was quite displeased with CeeC’s actions over the traditional outfit given to her by the brand.
They wrote: “PayPorte is very dis-pleased by the comments made by @ceec_official about the outfit given to her. We take out time to style all housemates with respect to the theme of every Saturday party. We consider this a disrespect to our brand and consider this offensive.”
The DressThe DressThe dress, vs what she cut it to…
The Big Brother Naija Reality TV Show took a harsh anti-climactic turn for Housemate BamBam as she was evicted even before today’s live show.
It came as a rude shock to some viewers and most notably her lover in the house – Teddy A,as he was seen weeping following her eviction.
This has led to Reno Omokri reacting to the news and he seized the opportunity to troll BamBam for her behaviour in the house.
Reno tweeted ;
Even after having sex in the toilet, she got evicted. That is how satan deceives. Makes you think you can get the whole world if you bow to him. But after bowing, there’s no guarantee that the riches will manifest #RenosNuggets
South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was recently spotted travelling to Durban in economy class on a Safair flight.
Co-passengers on the flight took photos with the president and shared them on Twitter.
The president’s spokesperson, Khusela Diko told newsmen that intermittently, the president will use the mode of transport which is most practical, convenient and cost effective for his duties.
BBC’s reporter, Stephanie Hegarty on her twitter handle, has thrown a subtle remark at President Buhari while sharing the report about South African president.
See her tweet below ;

Anthony Joshua unified the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles as a controlled performance saw him earn a unanimous points win over Joseph Parker at a tense Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The Briton used his left hand to telling effect throughout an intriguing affair, in which New Zealand’s Parker displayed swift hands, movement and impressive durability.
But his WBO title always looked like it would end up round Joshua’s waist as a significant points gap opened up, with the favourite landing a hard left uppercut in round eight and two stinging left hooks early in the 10th.
Parker tagged his rival to howls of concern in the 11th and he deserves immense respect for becoming the first man to take Joshua to the scorecards, which read 118-110 118-110 119-109.
Bamike Olawunmi BamBam, was yesterday evicted from the Big Brother Naija reality TV show on Saturday night, immediately after their Night party.
Recall, Ebuka last week, announced that a special guest will visit the house, yesterday night, during their party.. and everyone felt it’d be a celebrity.. The housemates when they heard the Elevator Bell thought Wizkid was coming through the elevators.. and BAM! Steve from Deloitte came through.
Steve came through with the voting results of this week.. BamBam had the least amount of votes, and she was as thus, evicted from the show.
Below are new photos of BamBam after her eviction from the house.
Recall, DBanj during Davido’s 30 Billion Concert in Lagos performed with his former label, Mo’Hits records.. and he’s revealed why hep performed with them.
The ‘Kokomaster’ as fondly called refuted rumors that he was paid to perform.
The Mo’Hits crew comprising of Don Jazzy, D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, K-Switch, Ikechukwu and D’Prince split in 2012 over several internal disagreements.
Dbanj’s Mananager Frank told Punch, “Let us not get things twisted, not a dime exchanged hands for any reason. The entire performance was not motivated by money at all.
“It was Davido’s initiative, he wanted it to happen at his show so he went for it and he got what he wanted. He spoke to all of the former Mo’Hits crew members individually, they saw his point and they granted his request.
” Davido is a good kid, he spoke to every member of the Mo’Hits crew. He thought about having a Mo’Hits reunion at his show and he got it.
“It was an exciting show and D’banj loved the performance. He wanted the Mo’Hits crew to perform at his show because they were people he looked up to before his career started.
“He made a request and they all agreed that it could be done. Before the performance, everybody was backstage having fun and when they were through with the performance, they all went to the green room and the atmosphere was a lovely one.
“I was there with them and if you had the opportunity to have seen them bond, you would not have even believe that they ever broke up. There was no awkwardness at all. It was the same ambiance that surrounded them when they were still Mo’Hits.”
Last week, Ebuka made the announcement that he’d be partying with the housemates tonight, during their usual Saturday Night party.. and also, a “Special Guest” will be coming into the house..
….and everything played out today!
Ebuka partied with the housemate, and the Special Guest came in.. But then, it was “Steve” from Deloitte, the logistics company, responsible for the voting results of the show.
Steve came into the house, with the voting results for the week, revealing the housemate with the least number of votes..
Teddy A is currently talking with Rico Swavey, and he’s of the opinion that tonight surprise eviction is a stunt, having that tomorrow is April 1st, April Fool.
While chatting with Rico after BamBam eviction, Teddy A says he can’t believe BamBam is just gone like that, as he cannot believe people love CeeC and Nina more than BamBam… Then he concluded that “They must be blind”
Below are some reactions:

In a shocking twist of event.. BamBam has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija House…
This is beyond shocking, as no one saw this coming.
Last week, Ebuka announced that a special guest was coming into the house, after their Saturday Night Party.. and surprisingly, the guest was “Steve” from Deloitte.. and he came in with the name of the housemate with the least amount of vote.
Bambam had the least number of vote, and she was evicted from the house.
We all thought the guest would probably be an artiste or a celebrity! But No! It was STEVE from Deloitte.
The Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun state, Oba Adbulrasheed Akanbi Saturday made history when he dropped the the title of Oba and declared his resolve to adopt the Emir title popularly known with Northern traditional rulers.
Speaking at the installation and turbarning ceremony of an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahquub Abdul-Baaqi Mohammed as first Waziri of Yoruba land, Oba Akanbi said he decided to now bear “Emir of Iwoland” because he wants to emulate the attitudes of northern Emirs.
According to Oluwo, Northern traditional rulers are better behaved than his counterparts from the Southwest saying Yoruba Obas are full of bickering, acrimony and enmities.
He said Yoruba traditional rulers lacks cooperation and expected royal characters saying the Yoruba Obas have been polarized owing to enmities.
Oba Akanbi said until Yoruba Obas come together, shun enmities and backbiting, Hausas would continue to rule Nigeria. “I have decided to officially adopt Emir title today because I want to emulate the attitudes of Northern Emirs. They don’t begrudge themselves like Yoruba Obas. ”
It will surprise you to discover that for the past two years, there has not been meeting of Yoruba traditional rulers just because of enmities. There is nothing strange in adopting Emir title. I am the Emir of Yorubaland,” Oluwo said.
Meanwhile, amid tight security presence, Oba Akanbi installed and turbarned an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahquub Abdul-Baaqi Mohammed as first Waziri of Yoruba land. At the well attended ceremony held at the palace of of the traditional ruler in Iwo on Saturday, Islamic scho)lars, Islamic organisations, Imams and Alfas, government functionaries among other notable personalities in the state were present.
The installation of the Waziri was against warning served on Oluwo by the League of Imams and Alfas in Southwest Nigeria, Edo and Delta States asking Oba Akanbi to desist from installing Alhaji Mohammed as the Waziri of the Southwest. In a statement signed by the President, League of lmams and Alfas, Southwest Nigeria, Edo and Delta States, Sheikh Jamiu Kewulere Bello urged Oba Akanbi to limit the title to Iwoland and not to the entire Yorubaland as being purported. ”
The proposed installation of the said recipient by your Highness as the Waziri of Iwo land is no doubt the result of your avowed commitment to the development of lslam, the lwo Community and Osun State in general
“However, it is our considered hope that your Highness should as a matter of urgency correct the rumours making the round that the organisers of this event are trying to over blow the ceremony to capture the entire Yorubaland. This is not right.” But Oba Akanbi shunned warnings by the Islamic leaders and installed the Waziri amid pomp and pageantry saying “Iwo has used this Waziri title to announce to the world that truly Iwo is the citadel of Islamic knowledge.”
The traditional ruler added that “Iwo has a unique and distinctive traditional history among the entire Yoruba race. And these peculiarities have made Iwo to be at the forefront in Yoruba land. ”
The occasion of the installation of Waziri Yorubaland is another great opportunity to create the necessary awareness and promote to the entire world the deep Islamic culture and heritage in Iwo. “Waziri did not come from Northern part of Hausa tribe but from God. So, there is nothing strange in installing Waziri. Yoruba has forgotten their history.
Whoever is critisising me lacks history of Yorubaland,” the monarch noted. The new Waziri promised to render selfless services that would promote religious growth and peaceful coexistence in Yorubaland.
A young man has reportedly killed himself after school management discovered he forged deposit slips for their fees.

The Official Sponsor of the Big Brother Naija Reality TV Show, Payporte is quite displeased with CeeC’s actions today over the traditional outfit given to her by the brand.
CeeC tagged the traditional outfit as rubbish, and she took scissors to cut the outfit to a crop top, and then rocked it with a skirt for the Saturday Night party today.
In her words, she said: “I have never seen such a thing in my life… Can’t believe someone wasted energy to sew this thing.”.. Then she continued, “Na person sit down do this thing o”
Apparently, the outfits given to all the housemates were used to represent the country’s diverse culture.. and hers was that of the Calabar’s.
“This is a Calabar Bridal attire belonging to the Calabar people of Cross River State, Nigeria. This simple yet well accessorised outfit was designed and made by the creative hands at PayPorte Production.”, Payporte had earlier described her outfit on Instagram.
Followers of the show have tagged her actions as “ungrateful” and rude, with many calling on the organizers of the show to take actions against her.
Payrote has quickly responded to her action on their Official Instagram page.. They wrote: “PayPorte is very dis-pleased by the comments made by @ceec_official about the outfit given to her. We take out time to style all housemates with respect to the theme of every Saturday party. We consider this a disrespect to our brand and consider this offensive.”
Some comments from Nigerians Below:
Payporte gave Ceec a dress and she called it nonsense then used a scissor to cut the dress… That serves the organizers of #BBNaija and Payporte right. Next time you will do a mental check during auditioning
I remember when payporte gave ceec a dress worth 100k.. ceec is so ungrateful see the way she was insulting the person that designed the dress.. it’s a traditional attire you are not supposed to be looking so sexy.. #BBNaija
Ceec condemned that dress and not adjusting it. Turning a complete Long gown to a top while bashing the Tailor. You talk about adjusting if she tightened, cut just one layer, or used an accessory on it. What she did is WRONG and diff from what Ifu, Nina etc did. #BBNaija
So Payporte replied Ceec’s ingratitude over the dress given her and her fans are all over cussing the organization out.
One even said their business should burn ?
Tomorrow now, lashed would get evicted and they’ll cry SCAM.
FOOLISHNESS and MADNESS. #BBNajia#BBNaija
Ceec cutting dat dress is not even annoying! Why did she say “ so somebody wasted time to make dis dress” “ please I can’t wear this nonsense” dat is fucking disrespectful #bbnaija
That how @payporte sponsored #BBNaija with millions of Naira and It took Ceec’s just some seconds to destroy the Payporte brand by calling their dress nonsense and also using a scissor to cut the dress.
Next time Payporte should conduct a mental check when selecting housemates
CeeC, I’m disappointed in you. You disrespected that dress, you look odd, changed a beautiful traditional to a crop top. Now you’re trying to over dance to cover up your mess. You deserve a strike from God, not biggie. #Bbnaija
edwinebele: CeCe knows what is good for her, how can you expect her to be comfortable with over size dress like that. Payporte should applaud her for doing justice to the cloth
clara_chuks: F-ck that shit..this ceec is something else..watching d show now..she’s so lookn beautiful with her redefined dress..lwkm.

Founder of Complete Care and Aid Foundation, Hajiya Aisha Wakil, has revealed that Boko Haram insurgency has made sanitary pad unavailable to many women in troubled Borno State.
ThisDay reports that Wakil, popularly called Mama Boko Haram revealed that many women who are now victims of insurgency have resorted to using sand and ashes in place of sanitary pad during their monthly menstrual cycle.
“One of the effects of insurgency is that women and girls are using sand and ashes in place of sanitary pad for their menses and this is unhygienic and unhealthy for women and girls.
Menstrual pad is a luxury for poor women in Borno. Strange as it may sound but poor women and girls in community and IDP camps are still using rags filled with sand, or ashes as an alternative for sanitary napkins during their menstrual period, thus exposing themselves more to vaginal infections.”
Lolu and Anto finally spoke yesterday about their issues.
They were both in the dressing room when Lolu approached Anto again with the issue of him deceiving and breaking her heart/not completely being truthful to her.
Upon her return to the house, Anto revealed that she discovered Lolu has been sending messages out to lady outside the house, when indeed, he told her, there was no one. Hence, she felt emotionally betrayed and resorted to giving him cold shoulder as well as staying far away from him as possible in the Big Brother house.
Talking to her, he apologized once again, begging for her to come back to him. I want my girl back, you know you’re my girl. Lolu said.
Flavour has revealed that working and making music with Semah has taught him the virtue of humility.
Flavour had met the talented blind Liberian singer during his visit to Liberia in 2017.
In an Interview with Showtime, singer Flavor revealed that making music with the blind boy has being an humbling experience.
See conversation below:-
“I was introduced to Semah through Masterkraft and the traditional Queen Ruler of Liberia, Juli Endee, during my trip to Liberia last year. He performed at the Liberia Peace Cultural Centre.
His vocals, intonation and confidence blew me away. Working with him has been incredibly humbling.
He is a vibrant young boy, who at a young age was very sure of himself and confident. I admire these qualities in him, which have made it a pleasure to work alongside him on his first E.P. titled ‘Divine’.
I haven’t really experienced any challenges working with Semah. He doesn’t allow his visual impairment to hinder him in any way”, he said with enthusiasm.
Though he is a reputable musician of enviable pedigree, Flavour spared no words in expressing excitement and eagerness to work with unique musical talents such as Semah.
“I love working with unique artistes and talents. Semah fits into this category. Music is all about evolving and going beyond the expected creative boundaries. I’m always inspired to work with such great talent”, he said.
Anto broke down during her diary session recently in an emotional session.
During the conversation with Big Brother, she spoke on the issue of Lolu.
The once evicted housemate who was voted in last Sunday alongside Khloe, found it hard to keep her emotions in check.
Earlier on, Lolu was trying to defend himself by clearing issues with Anto, telling her he chose her over his girlfriend outside of the house.
This happened after Anto found out that Lolu has been sending secret messages to a lover outside the house and confided in Big Brother.
She expressed her intentions of slapping him if they weren’t on a reality TV show.
“Lolu has been sending secret messages to someone in the diary room. I would have slapped Lolu when I saw him. He knows a lot of things about me and I feel I was being led on,” Anto told Big Brother.
Nigerian music icon, Tuface has expressed displeasure at the inability of the President to secure lives of Nigerians against the destructive activities of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.
Tuface is from Benue state, a state which is known to be one of the flashpoints of the herdsmen/farmers’ clashes.
He told Punch Newspaper that the government was not doing anything about the situation except to always ‘condemn the killings.’
He said:
“The Federal Government is not doing anything at all, nothing has been done and as we speak, the herdsmen can attack anytime anyday.
“They would move on then the Federal Government would condemn the killing; that is all they do, to condemn the killing but nothing is being done.
“I feel terrible when I read about the senseless killings that daily take place in Benue. It is not about my state alone. It happens in other states as well and I sympathise with Nigerians. These people are just being lawless and the law enforcement agencies are doing nothing about it.
“As far as I can see, I have not seen any serious effort to address this issue. Nigerians are tired and angry but because we are peace-loving, that is why Nigeria has not exploded and that is what these men are taking for granted. They know we would not do anything. Their case is like that of a man that keeps stepping on the tail of a tiger; one day he would see the trouble he is looking for,” he said. He also said that he agreed with his state governor, Samuel Ortom, who had urged his people to defend themselves because they cannot continue to sit down while the herdsmen continue to plunge families into sorrow.
“I agree that the people should arm themselves against future attacks because if your people are being killed and the government is not doing anything, you would not sit in one place like a sitting duck. You would have to arm yourself so that you would not fall victim to the attacks again. It is the only logical thing to do,” the singer said.
He further condemned the government for suggesting the idea of amnesty for the members of the Boko Haram. To him, that is an admission of defeat by the government.
“There is something that I do not understand, there are so many Nigerians who have graduated from school and they are finding it difficult to make a living; they are trying to make a positive impact but the government is not helping but it is those who kill and maim their fellow men that the government wants to grant amnesty, it just does not make sense.
“It is a very shameful situation and it means that the government has accepted defeat. They are sending a clear message that they cannot fish out the culprits. It just shows that they have accepted defeat. There is no other logical explanation,” he said.
