Since the beginning of the Big Brother Naija Show, some Nigerian FBI’s revealed that one of the housemates, Tobi Bakre worked with Heritage Bank prior to the beginning of the show.
Many evey claimed that the Bank, one of the sponsors of the show, fixed their staff, Tobi into the show, so he “could” carry the bank on his shoulders with the fame he’d attain.
Well, the management of the Heritage Bank has on social media set the records straight about their relationship Tobi.
They decided to make this clarification following the news making rounds that the bank, which is the official sponsor of this year’s show, are influencing it in favor of Tobi.
Although, they didn’t give full details but they made it known that he no longer works for them – meaning they could never influence it in the favor of an ex-staff.
They wrote:
“We know you have all been wondering about Tobi’s connection to Heritage Bank. This is to clarify that he is a former staff of the bank and resigned appropriately prior to the Big Brother Naija show @bigbronaija #HeritageBank #BBNaija2018″

A Junior Secondary School pupil at Ohafia in Arochukwu Local Government of Abia State has reportedly died after consuming 10 tablets of Tramadol.
This statement was made by the Commandant of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Mr. Akindele Akingbade.
Mr. Akindele Akingbade. who spoke in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, while delivering a lecture at a seminar NDLEA and Office of the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu on Narcotics and Abia State Drug Abuse Control Committee (ADCC) organised for patent medicine dealers.
The Nation reports that Akingbade mentioned in his lecture that the pupil was alleged to have taken the Tramadol tablets to enhance his performance during an inter-house sports competition in his school.
He was said to have died shortly after taking the drugs.
The NDLEA boss, who said Abia was among the states with a high level of drug/substance abuse, added that the governor had been informed about the incident.
He said efforts were being made to apprehend the seller as directed by the governor.
Akingbade advised patent medicine dealers to desist from selling drugs without prescription by doctors or pharmacists.
He attributed the high rate of crimes, including robbery, rape, kidnapping and others to the effect of drugs.
Akingbade said besides the agency’s resolve to take the awareness campaign against selling of harmful drugs to the abusers, they (NDLEA) had begun encouraging schools to establish Drug Free Clubs, to discourage pupils from taking drugs.
The Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Ministry of Health and Chairman, ADCC, Chief Chimezie Uzuegbu, as well as the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ikpeazu, David Anyanwu, hailed NDLEA for its efforts in curbing drug abuse.
The rate at which young people consume the banned drug is quite alarming. Another man was reported to have lost his sanity after consuming 7 tablets Tramdol in Lagos yesterday.
His friends who noticed his unusual behaviour immediately tied him up before administering first aid treatments on him.
Few hours ago, YBL brought you reports of a housemaid, identified simply as Samson who beat her boss to coma in Lagos, after stealing her money and property.
Susan Samson
Well, the young woman – the housemaid who beat her boss to coma has now been identified as Susan Samson – an indigene of Cross River State.
Ok, so just in case you missed it, Doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, are battling to save the life of a civil servant in the state, identified only as Mistura, after she was allegedly attacked by her maid in the Ejigbo area.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Mistura had been in a coma since Monday, March 5, 2018, when she was attacked with blended pepper and a wine bottle by the maid, identified as Susan Samson.
Our correspondent was told that despite a three-hour surgery on Wednesday, the victim had yet to come round and was in the intensive care unit of LASUTH.
It was learnt that Mistura, who taught in a public secondary school in Lagos, had employed Samson on February 4, 2018 to assist her with domestic chores.
The 18-year-old suspect was reported to have stolen her boss’ money last Friday and Saturday.
After the stolen money was recovered from Samson’s bag, Mistura was said to have alerted the agent who brought her.
The Ogoja, Cross River State indigene, in a desperate bid to escape from the house, which Mistura had locked, allegedly poured blended pepper on the boss while she lay on the bed.
She then grabbed a champagne bottle and smashed it on the victim’s head repeatedly until she passed out.
The suspect was reportedly apprehended by residents who heard the victim’s scream for help.
PUNCH Metro was told that the suspect was handed over to policemen from the Ejigbo division.
The victim’s husband, who identified himself only as Alhaji Sikiru, said he had gone to work when the incident happened.
He said, “An agent brought her to my wife on February 4, 2018. The girl said although she was from Ogoja, Cross River State, she had her primary and secondary education in Ikorodu, Lagos State, where she had lived the better part of her life.
“I had gone to work around 6am on Monday when my wife was attacked. But when I was called, I went to make a statement at the Ejigbo Police Station where the girl was being detained. That was where she told me everything that happened.
“She said last Friday, my wife accused her of stealing some money. Again on Saturday, there was an allegation she stole another money. I was surprised because my wife did not tell me that the maid she employed was stealing her things.
“After I left the house on Monday, my wife asked her to buy balm for her down the street. While she was away, my wife went to her room and found the stolen money in her bag, including some other items which she (Samson) stole from her shop.
“My wife called the agent that brought her and asked him to come over to the house. The agent immediately called the girl to know what happened. The girl said she didn’t know why she (Mistura) called him.
“At this time, she had become suspicious. So, when she got back to the house, she went to her bag and discovered that the stolen money and other items had been recovered by my wife.”
He said Mistura, while awaiting the agent, locked up the two gates in the house and kept the keys.
She was said to have lain on the bed.
“When the girl saw that her secret was about to be exposed, she wanted to escape. On discovering that the pedestrian and drive gates had been locked, she became desperate.
“She went to the kitchen, took a bowl of blended pepper, and poured it on my wife on the bed. My wife could not see again, but she groped to the main gate. She started calling for help because she could not also open the gate.
“The girl went inside the house and found a bottle of champagne, which I had kept for an occasion. She smashed it on my wife’s head five times. And she collapsed.
“Some residents, who had gathered outside the gate after hearing my wife’s call for help, caught her as she tried to escape. They also found my wife in a pool of blood and rushed her to a hospital,” he added.
He noted that during a visit of the police to the house, they found more stolen items in the suspect’s room.
Alhaji Sikiru, while expressing fear over the condition of his wife, said he hoped she would make it out alive.
“She lost a lot of blood and I had to get six pints of blood yesterday (Tuesday). Because her blood level was low, the doctors gave her four pints so she could go through a surgery which started from 1am and ended around 4.30am on Wednesday. The surgery didn’t bring out anything. She is still in a coma.
“My wife is in the intensive care unit of LASUTH. Her brain has collapsed and has been removed from the body and kept somewhere. Her kidney is already packing up. I hope she makes it out alive,” he added.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the couple had a disagreement late 2017 over the issue of getting a maid as the husband was against the idea.
The source said the dispute was so intense that some relatives had to wade in.
“The woman has high blood pressure and her personal doctor told the husband in January that the woman’s BP was still high but she said she would be better if he allowed her to have a maid. That was when the man succumbed. But see what it has caused,” she said.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, said it was a case of attempted murder.
He said, “The said Susan Samson suspected that her boss had discovered some items she stole and hid in her room. She subsequently mixed a large quantity of pepper in water and poured it on the woman’s face to render her defenceless.
“She subsequently hit her head repeatedly with a big bottle of wine which grievously harmed the woman. The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has decried this act wickedness and ordered a thorough investigation and diligent prosecution of the case.”
The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Professor Wale Oke, said the victim was receiving treatment at the hospital.
He said, “She had a surgery yesterday, which was successful. She is, however, not out of the woods yet. She is still in a coma. We have to wait for the brain to heal from the injuries.”
Ministers in the United Kingdom have drawn up plans to build a prison in Nigeria to enable the government to transfer prisoners from Britain.
The proposed 112-bed wing, built to United Nations specifications in the Kiri Kiri prison in Lagos, is to be built as part of a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement.
According to a statement submitted to Parliament by Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson on Wednesday evening, the proposed prison will cost about £700,000 (N350 million).
Boris Johnson said:
“As part of this agreement, eligible prisoners serving criminal sentences in Nigeria and the UK can be returned to complete their sentences in their respective countries”.
It follows a deal reached between the two countries signed in 2014.
But poor conditions in some prisons overseas have created a legal barrier to returning foreigners convicted in the UK.
“The Government believes that wherever possible foreign nationals should serve their sentences in their own country,” a Foreign Office spokesperson told Sky News.
“Helping Nigeria to improve its prison conditions and increase prison capacity will enable us to transfer more prisoners to Nigeria, which will in turn free up prison places in the UK.”
Deals to transfer prisoners in UK jails to their countries of origin have been made with Albania, Rwanda, Jamaica and Libya, as well as Nigeria.
In 2015 the Government pitched an ambitious £25m project to build a 1,500 bed prison in Jamaica, with the aim of sending more than 300 Jamaican inmates with sentences of more than four years there.
But the Jamaican government rejected the deal, with local media quoting ministers as saying the offer was not beneficial to Jamaica and did not cover the prison’s full cost.
Mr Johnson said tenders for the planned Nigerian jail had been placed and suppliers identified, bringing the project’s total cost to £695,525 including support, monitoring and evaluation.
The bill will be met by the CSSF (Conflict, Stability and Security Fund), he said.
According to House of Commons statistics there were 320 Nigerian nationals in prisons in England and Wales at the end of 2016.

Doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, are battling to save the life of a civil servant in the state, identified only as Mistura, after she was allegedly attacked by her maid in the Ejigbo area.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Mistura had been in a coma since Monday, March 5, 2018, when she was attacked with blended pepper and a wine bottle by the maid, identified as Susan Samson.

A teacher who walks 42km to school has been rewarded with a standing fan, in appreciation of his dedicated service.
Awudu Kombian, who teaches at Warvi D/A Primary School, Ghana, received the gift at the parade to mark Ghana’s 61st Independence, which held on Tuesday.
Apart from travelling such a long distance, Kombian was the only teacher in the school, and also doubled as the headmaster until recently when three teachers were posted to the school.
The school, which has a population of about 74 pupils with three classrooms, was solely taken care of by Kombian for more than a year.
As a headmaster, he performed other tasks and so the school was always closed down whenever he fell ill or travelled.
“It’s very challenging but as a professional, you have to always do your best to see what you can do in the midst of the challenges.
“Every day, I have to travel about 42km to go and teach because it’s a very deprived community; and places like that, you don’t have accommodation, so even if you are willing to even stay there, there is no accommodation for you,” Kombian is reported to have said.
Receiving his award, Kombian expressed his happiness at the fact that his efforts had been recogniszed.
“The prize itself is not something that I will place much emphasis on but the gesture.
“The gesture of recognising what I have done is what gladdens my heart,” he stated.
The award was presented by the district director of education, Rev. Georgina Anaaba Norga, who asked the teacher to continue with “the good work.”
The Senate today rejected a bill proposing the option of wearing of skirts by female members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The bill which was sponsored by Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba), was debated by the lawmakers today.
Senator Bwacha told his colleagues that the bill is intended to amend Sections 13 and 16 of the Principal Act that infringes on the religious rights of some of the corps members. Bwacha, who is Deputy Minority Leader, noted that the NYSC was a laudable scheme established in 1973 by the then military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon.
It was part of the effort by the Federal Government to rebuild, reconstruct and reconcile Nigerians following the unfortunate incidents of the civil war which ended in 1970.
It is important to point out that while the scheme has lived up to expectation as a reliable platform for nurturing young patriotic Nigerians, fostering unity and promoting a better understanding of our religious and cultural differences, it has, however, become necessary to amend the Principal Act. This is with a view to address observed lapses and shortcomings.
One of such lapses is that the penalty for offences contained in the Act is now outdated and in need of urgent review.
Secondly, Section 16 of the Principal Act mandates the NYSC Directorate to make regulations or by-laws relating to discipline, exercise regimen, uniforms, welfare of corps etc. Uniforms and drills adopted by the Directorate have become a basis for tension and controversy between the Directorate and corps members and other members of the public.
The major bone of contention is that some of the uniforms and drills contravene religious beliefs and practices of corps members and invariably their right to freedom of religion, thought and conscience under the Nigerian Constitution. This bill essentially addresses the above mentioned lapses in the Principal Act,” he said.
Most of the senators rejected the bill, saying it is unnecessary and a waste of time.
One of the senators, Senator Suleiman Adokwe said it should be the religious bodies that feel unhappy by the choice of uniform for its members that should put pressure on the NYSC to change the uniforms and not for the senate to change the laws that guide the scheme.
The amendment being suggested is not even worth the trouble. This is because the powers to prescribe uniform is what the NYSC Act is to the Directorate. “I believe if the directorate wants to change the uniform at any time, it is a matter of deciding because it only has power to prescribe the type of uniform.
The type of uniform is even not prescribed; so I don’t know why we should trouble ourselves; all you need to do is to put pressure on the directorate to change the uniform but not necessarily to change the law. All the religious organisations that are feeling oppressed by it should put pressure and lobby the directorate to change its dress code,” Adokwe said.
A voice vote was taken and the senators rejected the bill.

She also narrated how she sold pure water on the streets of Lagos and how she managed to school and work part time to take care of herself.
Below is what she wrote (sic):
On March 5, 2018. I became a first time homebuyer in Canada. I Esther own a home in Canada, YH I AM SURE YOU SAID Woooooow………
“I looked back from how it all started when my dad died in 1997, when we thought all hope was lost. i remembered having to hawk satchet water on the street of Lagos.
“I came to Canada in 2015 as a student having to work part time and study. i would come to class and sleep and my colleagues will wake me up and laugh. But the days of suffering is over.
“I am grateful to God for making my life a testimony.
“I am not going to preach,i just want to use this medium to say Trust and Obey God. God has a plan for everyone,just take a second to listen and ask for he right direction, when you think the door is shut, please push harder because sometimes hard work and commitment will get you what you want.
“I am proud of the woman i have become through Christ, i am happy that i feel accomplished before clocking 30 years.
“I never gave up, and i am grateful to my friends i have made and met over the course of my life as you were all there for a reason and i appreciate you all.
“Thanks to my family and friends for all your prayers and support and i pray that May God Almighty grant you all your heart desires.”
Hours after a Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, bus crushed a 16-year-old school boy, Daniel Ezekiel, to death at Ogolonto Bus Stop, along Ikorodu Road in Lagos, his guardians – Dr. and Mrs. Olajide Oyesanya, are yet to come to terms with the tragic reality of their loss.
Vanguard reports they are still in shock that their beloved Ezekiel is gone forever, and more so by the bizarre and cruel manner of his death.
This is because the bus had on impact crushed and decapitated Ezekiel in a manner reminiscent of the guillotine horror of the French Revolution era.
In fact, Mrs. Oyesanya said on waking up Tuesday morning, she momentarily forgot that Ezekiel was gone and was waiting for him to knock on her door and say: “Grandma, I want to go to school”. But that knock never came.
For now, theirs is a lamentation of pain laced with regret. The regret is that their wish of sending Ezekiel to school so that he would become great had ended in tragedy.
Yet when young Daniel left home in the morning of that fateful Monday, March 5, 2018, little did he or his guardians nurse any premonition that death was lurking like a remorseless, vengeful reaper on the way.
Oyesanya told Vanguard Metro that after consuming a heavy meal that morning the boy was in high spirits and cheerfully waved them goodbye as he left home for the school.
“But we didn’t know that was the last time we will see him,” they wept, adding: “We fed Ezekiel at 7:15am but picked up his corpse two hours later, at about 9:45am.”
Narrating their experiences on what transpired on the fateful day, a distraught Mrs. Oyesanya informed that since she enrolled Ezekiel in school last January, he had always taken his breakfast by 7:15am before proceeding to school at 7:20am.
“And on that fateful day, he left home to school. But I was alerted of the incident that happened by someone who told me to find out if Ezekiel was safe. Immediately I started calling his teacher, but she refused to pick my call.
I thought they were on assembly ground so I called the school director who also didn’t pick my calls. At that moment, I knew there was a problem.
I was confused and my husband also called to inform me to proceed to his school. On my way, someone told me that Ezekiel had been rushed to Ikorodu General Hospital.
When I got to the hospital premises, I was told to identify the lifeless body of Ezekiel; at that moment, I knew I had lost our dear child. I couldn’t believe my eyes that the child I fed at exactly 7:15am had become a corpse for me to pick at exactly 9:45am,” she said amidst tears.
“We are only two in this house, my husband and I. Since we are getting old and all our children are grown up, we thought it will be nice to have a small child that can keep us company. So we contacted a lady in our community to help us find someone to stay with us.
They eventually helped us to get Ezekiel from the Northern part of the country; that was around August last year.
Our initial plan was to enroll him in school by October this year but due to the fact that it was late to do so, we decided to enroll him in January this year, a decision I now regret.
He was 15 years when they brought him to us, and they told us that he was in JSS3 in Kaduna State before he came to Lagos. But when we took him to school, they told us that he should start from Primary Four”.
She hinted that their aim of enrolling him in school was to ensure that he became a great person in future and to contribute his own quota to Nigeria’s development,adding:
“Unfortunately that dream has been cut short by the BRT driver”.
“He is a very pleasant child. Sometimes after offending me and I threatened to send him back to the village, he would beg me and say: ‘Mummy pray for me, I will not do that again’.
People in this community liked him; and education wise, he showed a lot of promise. “Whenever he returned from school, before taking his meal, he would do his assignment and ask me to look at it; and in case there was any error I would correct it for him”.
Ezekiel’s last moment:
Sources said that Ezekiel alighted from a cab with other students, and they were being taking across in batches to the other side of the BRT corridor by the school security official.
But misunderstanding the flag man’s signal, the boy was said to have attempted dashing across the BRT corridor, believing that the road was clear.
Unfortunately he was hit by a fast-moving BRT bus. As a result of the impact, his head severed from his body. The driver was said to have taken to his heels immediately, for fear of possible mob action against him.
Mrs. Oyesanya said that Ezekiel’s family in Kaduna had been notified about his tragic demise. She informed that “their eldest sister lives around here”, adding: their parents gave birth to three of them. His father is late and the mother is in Kaduna”.
Asked by Vanguard Metro team to say what Ezekiel meant to him and his wife, Dr. Olajide Oyesanya was almost overwhelmed by emotion as he informed that doing so would entail him shedding uncontrollable tears.
“To talk about Ezekiel will only make me to cry; yes, the moment I start doing so, tears will definitely start rolling down my cheeks. So, please just leave me,” he pleaded with feeling.
The Oyasanyas, however, would want government to construct a pedestrian bridge to immortalise Ezekiel and also serve the purpose of preventing a reoccurence of such tragic incident.
An official of Primero Transport Services, operator of the Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the management had begun investigation into the crash and there was high possibility of compensating the deceased family.
Meet Stella Adele who graduated with a second class upper degree from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, and is now a Tricycle ‘Keke’ driver in Lagos.
Stella is providing to be the exception to the rule in a male dominated transport sector in Nigeria. She competes favorably with her male colleagues despite the society’s unwritten law that being a driver is not a woman’s job.
She revealed that she used to have a job but it didn’t really give her enough time to take care of her family, so she opted for a job that will give her a flexible time.
Adele delved into the tricycle business upon the advice of a police friend who told her how lucrative the business is.
With the support of her brother and a loan from the bank, she was able to start her own ‘keke’ business and she does it proudly with every bit of happiness.
She said she makes an average of N8,000 to N12, 000 everyday and nothing less than N7, 000 on days she resumes late due to some other engagements.
Adele plans to buy a bus in the nearest future with proceeds from her business.
Some of Adele’s colleagues commended her, stating that she is very hardworking and willing to succeed despite the nature of the business.

BBNaija Housemate, Ifu Ennada had her diary session with Big Brother today, and she made a yet-shocking statement, where she revealed that she’s been having the urge to have sex.
Apparently, Ifu is insinuating that she’s never had intercourse in the house, and this is contrary to a claim by a twitter user who says all the housemates in the house, have had sex.
Ifu also revealed that, Lolu once offered her a massage, but the turned it turned over fears that she might get hot, and want to get down with him.
Ifu Ennada might actually be holding herself away from Lolu with the fear that Anto might not like the outcome, which might spur her to nominate her (Ifu) for eviction.
Ifu Ennada
Well, only time will tell if Ifu Ennada will eventually have sex on the show just like others… or maybe she’s just faking it.

So a South African based Nigerian has made shocking allegations about Big Brother Housemates – according to one @PRODEEGY on Twitter, BBNaija housemates engage in sexual intercourse everyday with each other.
In a series of tweets on his page, he claims that the housemates have already exhausted 50 packs of condom within the period of time they’ve been in the house.
He wrote in his tweets,
These big brother housemates f*ck themselves EVERYDAY. I have seen clips that wasn’t aired on TV. I’m not supposed to be saying this
NBC Warned Big brother not to air these sex scenes on TV. These housemate already finished 50 packs of condoms. They f*ck everyday. I’m not even talking about the couples that y’all know. Almost all of them are f*cking each other.
I saw things. I’m shooketh.
All of them they collect.
A couple even broke bed while f*cking. I won’t tell y’all the couple.
A Nigerian Mental Health Practioner has declared and given her reasons why she feels Children are a burden.
In a tweet that has since gone viral on Twitter, she says children often slow down careers, and they are very costly and time consuming.
Here’s what she wrote;
“Children are a burden (I don’t mean this in a bad way, it is what it is). They often slow down careers, are very costly and are very time consuming. It’s sad that some are carelessly brought into the world by people unwilling to make those sacrifices.”
“Without a kid you typically have to mainly worry about yourself. With a child, you have to factor them into every decision you make. You have another load to carry, you can’t be as impulsive and frivolous, you shift your way of living to accommodate them.”
A South African mother took to microblogging platform, Twitter to share how proud she is of her daughter after the latter is now a fully qualified Chartered Accountant.
The mother wrote…
I am a proud mother of a fully qualified C A #proudmommoments.
… but the proud moment certainly didn’t last long after the said daughter came to the same platform to call her out – revealing her misdeeds to not only her but also her other children.
Quoting her mother’s tweet, the daughter wrote,
Did you also mention how you physically abused me or locked me out of home on a wednesday night with nowhere to go?? How we havent spoken in a year and you showed up to your sons birthday for 25 minutes?? Or is that not social media worthy news???
Busy preaching to other people how to Parent but you are your own childrens greatest burden.
Also not here for people telling me this is not the way to tackle izindaba zasekhaya. I have carried the shame as a victim of this for over a year and this is how I choose to break my silence. I refuse to continue to be complicit in this lie through not speaking out.
Just as you’re surprised now, everyone else who’s seen her tweets have been left to wonder whether or not her actions were right but as can be seen, she chose this path to break her silence.
Evicted Big Brother Naija: Double Wahala housemates, Dee-One and Vandora, have given their reasons why they don’t like housemate, Tobi.
Vandora is of the opinion that Tobi is manipulative and turns housemates against each other, which is why she doesn’t like him. She also says that Cee-c is nice and real, and that her character is being misinterpreted by viewers.
In her own words,
“He likes to undermine people, he defines people’s insecurity as flaws. I was quiet when I got into the house but then he made me look fake. The fact that I kept to myself does not make me fake. He is undermining people’s character , he is playing a dirty game. Tobi is really malicious and tries to turn housemates against each other. That shows how desperate he is,” Vandora said in an interview with Linda Tv”.
Akin to Vandora, Dee-One says Tobi is playing mind games with Nigerians, which is why he has a large number of fans. He added that Cee-C is very intelligent and nice but wrongly perceived by Nigerians.
“Tobi is playing on Nigerians, planting ideas on other housemates. In the end ,Nigerians will get to know, Tobi cannot hide his real character for a long time. He is the one playing the mind game, he is calculative and plotting evil . Cee- c is being herself, she is intelligent and nice.Yes, she has attitude but when it looks like shes eyeing you she has eye issue thats why. Its working for him but in the end it does not make sense if u keep manipulating people.”
Do you agree with them?
Meanwhile, Tobi sometime last week revealed that he’s gotten all he wants from his love interest, Cee-C – he made this known while speaking with fellow housemate, Miracle.
According to Tobi, the first weeks in the house were used by him to study Cee-C. He said,
“I have gotten all I needed from Cee-c. She has shown me all I needed to see and I no longer have anything to do with her, I’m telling you the truth. “In the first two weeks of our stay here, I love her genuinely. But later I discovered she wasn’t it, you understand? “See, that girl is poisonous. I’m not apologetic for anything.”
Ex-big brother Naija: See Gobbe housemate, Uriel Oputa, who during her time, brought most of the drama in the diary room, especially with the way she says her “big brother“, has reached out to current housemate, Cee-C.
According to her, every time she sees Cee-C, she sees a troubled soul – she says she needs to be reached out to and she can’t wait to meet her.
She shared a photo of her and wrote;
“Whats your opinion Here’s mine…every time I see this young woman I see a troubled soul.. someone who has a lot bottled up.. I heard she said she would love to meet me.. I would love to meet her 2.. this young woman needs guidance, not only from me but from other women if you ever meet her..oh and a little pinch�. I’M VOTING FOR EVERYONE”
Recently, housemate, Leo revealed why Cee-C and her love interest, Tobi are always engaged in fights – Leo said Tobi’s refusal to show seriousness about their relationship was responsible for the constant fight between them.
He said this while speaking with Tobi after the latter’s heated argument with Cee-C shortly after the house weekend party.
“She wants you to show seriousness, that’s what is causing your fights. Cee-C is possessive but she cares about you.” Leo said.

Of course Hushpuppi replied, and he was rather matured.. [See his reply here]
Will Hush take the bait?
