“But you went to big brother’s house twice?” – Netizens drag Mercy Eke over her reaction to GWR’s message to Hilda Baci

Netizens have dragged Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Mercy Eke, over her response to Guinness World Record’s message to Hilda Baci.

Earlier, Guinness World Records had responded to Hilda Baci’s congratulatory message to the new longest cooking marathon title holder, Alan Fisher

Recall that Alan Fisher, from Ireland, dethroned Hilda Baci in the Longest Cooking Marathon by an individual, where he cooked in his restaurant in Japan for 119h 57m 16s.

In response to Hilda’s congratulatory post, the handler of Guinness World Record’s Twitter page questioned if Hilda would attempt to break the current record in the future.

“Will we see you reattempt one day?!” they asked.

Their question, however, did not sit well with Mercy Eke, as she fired back at them, stating that Hilda Baci is not going to re-attempt.

She quoted the Guinness World Record tweet and wrote “NO!!! She’s done and dusted.” Her reply quickly gained the attention of many, based on her huge following and popularity.

Some netizens, however, did not like her reply, and they were quick to question her about why she went to the Big Brother Naija house twice.

Remember that the reality TV star Mercy Eke won the Big Brother Naija ‘Pepper Dem’ edition in 2019, becoming the first woman to win the show.

She also participated in the recently concluded Big Brother ‘Naija All Stars,’ where she earned the first runner-up position

Chef Alan Fisher's Instagram

Some Nigerians have flocked to the Instagram account of Irish chef Alan Fisher, who recently broke the Guinness World Record previously held by Nigerian chef and restaurateur, Hilda Baci.

It was earlier reported that Alan Fisher dethroned Hilda Baci to become the new world record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, as announced by Guinness World Records on Tuesday, November 7.

Following the announcement, Hilda Baci extended her congratulations to Alan Fisher and removed the title from her bio. However, many Nigerians did not follow suit, opting instead to visit Mr. Fisher’s Instagram page and harass him for breaking Hilda’s record.

Some criticized him for not waiting for some time before attempting to break the record to allow Hilda to enjoy it, while others questioned why he was “competing in the kitchen with a woman.”

Surprisingly, some Nigerians referred to him as a thief and suggested that he should have competed in the Olympics instead of a cooking challenge.

Although this is not unexpected, as Nigerians are known to come to the defense of their compatriots, many have frowned upon this behavior and warned the trolls to stop harassing Alan.

“I stopped going to church because of what my pastor did to me” – Daddy Freeze

Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has described how, many years ago, his cleric’s treatment of him caused him to quit going to church.

The controversial OAP claimed that his pastor at the time had barred him from sitting in the front row of the church

Daddy Freeze made this known during a recent episode of the Teju Babyface ‘Deep Dive’ audiovisual podcast.

He disclosed that he was informed by the pastor of the church he was attending that he would have to take a seat in the back due to his divorce.

The social media influencer claimed that he was a church worker who was heavily involved in the program’s organisation. However, following the event, he opted not to go to church rather than “hide” in the back seat.

Freeze went on to say that he began studying and investigating the Bible on Sundays and that’s how he found that the majority of the teachings given by Nigerian churches were flawed.

He said;

“My marriage had always been troubled and in 2014 it came to an end. And I remember I used to do events in my church. The church minister used to pay me then to do events which I celebrated. At least, the pastor was not eating all the money, he was sharing with the people who were working.

I was booked for an event that I used to do for the church, and I got a call that I should cancel it because of my divorce or pending divorce drama. And I was like, ‘Because I’m going through a divorce does that remove God from me?’ I questioned that too.

Then the pastor came to my house and we had a conversation. He was like, ‘I’m not telling you not to come to the church but when you come to the church, sit at the back.’ And I was like what’s all this? So, that made me sit at home on Sundays. Instead of going to church and hiding, is it not better that I sit at home? So, sitting at home on Sundays now started feeding the holes in my brain.”

“I remain a record holder in spirit and in history” – Hilda Baci responds to people asking why she updated her bio

Nigerian chef and restaurateur, Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has addressed queries from netizens about the alteration of her bio information on social media.

Recall that Alan Fisher, an Irish chef, just overthrew Hilda and took the title of the Guinness world record holder for the longest individual cooking marathon.

Hilda Baci congratulated him immediately on the microblogging platform, X, upon the announcement that he had broken the record.

She then proceeded to remove the record-holder title from her bio as she gracefully accepted her current status.

This did not sit well with some netizens, who opined that she was still a record holder despite everything.

She then took to her X account to state that she was respectfully acknowledging the new title holder, just as Chef Lata acknowledged her.

She wrote,

“Just as Chef Lata respectfully acknowledged the new record holder by updating her bio and later fine tuning the wording I’ve adjusted mine too.
Achieving such a record is no small feat, and I know this firsthand. I have only the greatest admiration for the hard work it took for Alan to reach such heights. Sportsmanship is about recognizing progress, whether the accolade is in my bio or not. I remain a record holder in spirit and in history. Let’s celebrate achievement and the spirit of competition.”

“I have been receiving dǝath threats” – Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi reveals as she narrates how the singer d!ed

Wunmi, the wife of late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad has disclosed that since her husband’s passing, she has been the target of death threats.

Speaking in the Candide-Johnson Court House in Ita-Elewa, Ikorodu, Wunmi said that following her husband’s passing, she started receiving death threats.

She said;

“A lot of people are defaming me on TikTok, (a social media platform). I left my husband’s house because I am not safe there”

Wunmi said in cross-examination by David Fadile, the attorney for Mohbad’s father, that she gets along well with her father-in-law and considers him to be her best friend. She denied getting a visa to Canada as well.

However, she also said that Mohbad wished for them to go to Canada since he was said to have a great deal of opponents in Nigeria.

Wunmi also recounted how Mohbad made sure he didn’t put her and their child on social media because he wanted to protect them. She also disclosed that she had known Mohbad for more than ten years, dating back to her days in secondary school.

Wunmi refuted the claim that she and her late husband got into a fight. She revealed that Mohbad wanted to visit the hospital to get his injury from his run-in with Prime Boy treated, but he chose not to go because of his fear of Naira Marley and his past experiences with NDLEA agents.

She disclosed that on Monday, September 11, she discovered a bloodstain on the bed sheet, indicating that her spouse had suffered a cut during a fight with Prime Boy.

 

She also said that they had to use first-aid and Panadol because the nurse who was meant to treat Mohbad wasn’t there.

The singer had several injections in his left arm on Tuesday, September 12, after her husband’s friend, Spending, contacted a different nurse.

Wunmi, who disclosed that she was in the kitchen preparing food and forgot to ask about the kind of injection he received, claimed to have only witnessed the nurse attempting to administer another shot into his hand. However, Mohbad told the nurse to be careful because he was an ulcer patient.

Wunmi stated on Taiwo Olawanle’s cross-examination from Falana and Falana Chamber that her late spouse was first brought to Kuda Hospital, which did not treat him, and then to another hospital, which declared him dead.

Under cross-examination by Olumayowa Ogunsami, the deceased’s father’s attorney, she said that her late husband broke up his friendship with a certain Michael, also known as Mice, upon learning that the latter was an informant for Naira Marley.

She claims her late spouse discovered he was recording the conversation when he went to a lawyer to discuss royalties Naira Marley owed him.

The case was postponed until November 15 for further proceedings.

“STREETS OR YOUR MARRIAGE!!” – Caramel Plugg questions married men who cheat on their wives (VIDEO) 

Social media influencer Ogechi Ukonu popularly known as Caramel Plugg has questioned married men in Lagos who cheat on their wives.

According to Caramel, Lagos men would lie that they are single, abandon their beautiful wives and cheat on them with little girls.

“You guys can’t even take what you dish out” – Benjamin Hundeyin tackles Phyna following her clash with a police officer

The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, has tackled reality TV star, Phyna, following her altercation with a policeman.

Recall that the Big Brother Naija “Level Up” winner recently went live on Instagram as she engaged in a heated argument with a police officer who took her photograph during a stop and search.

The policeman stressed that it is acceptable for them to film and take photos of the individuals they are keeping tabs on. Phyna voiced her disapproval, claiming to be unaware of any such rule.

Phyna further aggravated the issue by wondering why she was the target of hate crimes and condemning those who were pressuring the authorities to take action against her.

Reacting to Phyna’s outburst on the microblogging platform, X, SP Benjamin pointed out that although Nigerians are unmoved when they film police officers, they become upset and think it is harassment when the same officer does it to them.

He disclosed that the reason she was videotaped as evidence was because the reality star was breaking the traffic rule.

He also called out their hypocrisy, claiming that Nigerians were unable to take the abuse they were giving police officers.

In his words:

“If you were in my shoes, somebody carries phone on your face, you’ll get angry. You’ll get angry! – a Nigerian 🙄

You guys can’t even take what you dish out. A police officer uses his phone to record you, not randomly, but while you’re breaking a traffic rule and you’re all worked up about it, asking which law empowers him to rightfully get evidence. You’re unusual.

But law does not matter when you record police officers in the line of duty, sometimes just to agitate them and quickly scream harassment.”

“Maybe she just cooked up this lie to implicate Naira Marley” – Yomi Fabiyi accuses Iyabo Ojo

Popular actor and activist, Yomi Fabiyi, has dragged his colleague, Iyabo Ojo for claiming that Naira Marley drugged her children’s food when they visited.

Recall that the actress recently said that she holds a personal grudge against the controversial musician, Naira Marley, separate from the late Mohbad’s case.

Iyabo stated that she used to send her children to the singer’s home because she believed him to be a good and reasonable person.

She claimed that Naira Marley had drugged the food and drinks her kids were served, and three or four witnesses had attested to the incident.

The actress continued by stating that as soon as Mohbad was given justice and his case was finished, she would start her legal battle against Naira Marley.

Reacting to the claims in an Instagram post, Yomi Fabiyi questioned why Iyabo Ojo did not stand up for her children when Naira Marley carried out such actions against them.

Yomi said that no mother would put up with this and concluded that the actress could have made up the lie in order to implicate Naira Marley.

He continued by saying that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the police have to invite Iyabo Ojo’s children for interrogation.

He said;

“I don’t know why Iyabo was sending her children, who are adults, to Naira Marley’s house in the first place. She stated that Naira was putting drugs in their food and she called herself a mother. She never came out to fight for her children then…Maybe she just cooked up this lie to implicate Naira. Why was her daughter laced with drugs if she was not into drugs already? Which mother will keep quiet in such a situation? The NDLEA and the police heard what she said and they are keeping mute. How will this country get better? I expect the NDLEA to invite her to bring her children and investigate her.”

Watch the videos below,

Just recently, a Nigerian woman with four children tragically lost her life after enduring years of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband.

A Facebook user, Amarachi Iwuala, who shared the heart-wrenching incident online, revealed that the husband had allegedly subjected his wife to domestic abuse for years.

She said the husband once beat his wife to the point that she fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital before she was resuscitated.

Despite the abuse, the woman chose to remain in the marriage, primarily for the sake of her four children, including a seven-month-old baby, whom she wanted to grow before leaving. Amarachi claimed that the deceased’s mother even advised her to leave, but she refused.

Regrettably, on Thursday, November 2, her husband once again beat her to pulp, and tragically, she went to bed that night and did not wake up again. Read the full story here

Blessing CEO invited for questioning by the police for accusing Davido of owing IVD motors N4m

Controversial media personality, Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, was recently invited by the police for questioning over her claims that Davido is owing IVD motors N4 million.

This was reported by a Twitter user, Otunba, who posted a video of the relationship therapist being questioned at a police station.

Recall that Blessing CEO had called out Davido for failing to pay the debt of the car he had purchased for his aide, Israel DMW.

IVD Motors, on the other hand, refuted the issue, saying that Davido had since paid off his account and apologized to Blessing for not keeping her informed of this.

“BBNaija All Stars was for those who didn’t utilize their first chance” – Tacha

Reality TV star, Natacha Akide, better known as Tacha, has opined that the All Stars edition was intended for her colleagues who wasted their initial opportunity.

The “Pepper Dem” star made the assertion as she explained her decision to skip the just-concluded eighth season of BBNaija.

Tacha stated that she frequently receives brand deals and enjoys hosting her Big Friday program on Cool FM. She emphasized that she wouldn’t give up any of these opportunities to return to the Big Brother house to receive peanuts.

The self-proclaimed Port Harcourt First Daughter expressed her views in a feature article as she graced the cover of the latest issue of The Will Downtown Magazine.

In her words;

“Some specific deliverables and obligations must come through for me, plus I am constantly getting back-to-back bookings from brands. To leave all of this and then go on a show where I’m going to get paid peanuts isn’t worth it.

I’m enjoying my work at Cool FM every Friday, and I won’t leave my fans hanging. In my opinion, the show is really for, let’s say, people who probably did not utilize their first chances, and honestly, to just be fair, I do not fall into that category.”
