Phyna opens

BBNaija level-up winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has finally addressed her altercation with her co-star, Chichi, during their reunion show.

Phyna opens

She explained that she reacted to the offensive comments Chichi had made about her, comments that were not aired by BBNaija organizers.

She claimed that Chichi body-shamed her, called her an “abortionist” and made other derogatory remarks about her. According to her, she could not allow Chichi bodyshame her when she has a natural body.

On the N100 million lawsuit, Phyna stated that she was unfazed by the threat and was ready to go to court.

Her words,

“The way I attacked her they should have known she said something, that part was mute. Because the previous day, you body shamed me, you called me shapeless and saggy boobs, that’s why I had to use the word for her that she would record in her heart and brain. Because you can’t be body-shaming me that have a natural body, I had to remind her that there are stuff.

You called me an abortionist, I reminded you that you have two kids that you abandoned.

Two days later, she is suing me in court for N100 million for libel and defamation of character. I called my lawyer that if we didn’t reply to the lawsuit, what would happen? My lawyer said if we didn’t reply within 7 days, she could charge me in court. The next day I bought a suit to prepare for court.”

“Nigerians love Hilda Baci because of her body shape not as a chef” – Blessing CEO

Controversial relationship expert, Okoro Blessing, also known as Blessing CEO has opined that record breaking chef, Hilda Baci is loved and celebrated by Nigerians mostly because of her curvy body, not her food.

Blessing CEO made this statement on the most recent episode of the Terms & Conditions podcast, while discussing how many people had improved their bodies through Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL).

The self-described relationship expert claims that a woman’s body attracts men before her brains. To back up her argument, she cited the well-known chef Hilda Baci.

According to Blessing CEO, who also noted that the cook is a beautiful woman with high aspirations, Hilda defies the stereotype that “attractive women don’t like to work.”

Blessing continued by saying that Nigerians were only drawn to her body after that.

She said,

“I’m going to use the lady who trended for cooking Hilda Baci what made us even love her is her body, not the food per se.

Let’s be honest when she started going viral and we started seeing how pretty she is, and how hard-working there’s a perception that fine girls don’t work… then when they saw how beautiful she was and was willing to put in such energy that was why Nigerians came out with full force so when you have the body and you have them brain it helps you achieve things.”

The relationship coach also observed that after she got a BBL, people have been talking to her more than they did before. She went on to advise women that in order to hold people’s attention, they should be both physically fit and intelligent.

She said,

“If you have a BBL just like me people would talk to you, ever since I got a BBL I’ve had so many people who didn’t want to talk to me then want to talk to me now and ask me out. That’s why I say have nyash and have brains, now when they come to you, the butt attracts them, and then when they now see that you have more to offer, that’s the beauty and the brain.”

Peter Obi failed to prove how he scored majority votes in the election – Tribunal

Peter Obi failed

The Presidential Election Petitions Court has ruled that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to specify how they obtained the majority of lawful votes during the February 25 presidential election.

In the leading judgment delivered by Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, the tribunal concluded that the Labour Party made generic allegations of irregularities, vote suppression, and corrupt practices that allegedly affected their votes, especially in states like Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Imo, and Osun.

However, they failed to specify the specific polling units affected or present concrete evidence to substantiate their claims.

Peter Obi failed

The court noted that although Peter Obi and the LP asserted that they secured the majority of lawful votes cast, they did not provide the actual number of lawful votes they received.

Nigerian lady narrates

A UK-based Nigerian lady has recounted how she almost landed into trouble for saying “sorry” in the United Kingdom.

Speaking in a video she shared on social media, the lady said she went to return an item she bought at a store after realizing that she already had the same item at home.

However, when the storekeeper started the refund process, she politely said “I’m sorry for the inconveniences”.

This unexpected apology didn’t sit well with the storekeeper and she questioned if she had used some of the product before returning it, implying that she apologized out of guilt.

Following this experience, the lady stated that Brits only apologize when they are wrong or have committed an offense.

She added that when someone falls down, Brits would only ask if they are okay, instead of saying sorry. According to her, this encounter has taught her how to deal with Brits.

“It’s disgusting” – Catholic Priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu reacts to viral video of single women in wedding gowns praying to find husbands (watch)

Fr. Kelvin Ugwu reacts

Nigerian Catholic Priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, has shared his thoughts on the viral video of single women praying fervently to get married before the end of the year.

In the trending clip, the women were seen wearing wedding gowns as a symbolic “act of faith” while fervently praying for husbands during a ‘spiritual event.’

 Fr. Kelvin Ugwu reacts

This didn’t sit well with the missionary priest and he took to his Facebook page to strongly condemn the practice of women wearing wedding dresses to pray for husbands.

He deemed it “disgusting” and indicative of desperation, and emphasized the urgency of putting an end to the trend before it becomes accepted as normal.

 Fr. Kelvin Ugwu reacts

Read his full post below,

“It is now becoming a trend, and the more we keep quiet, it will soon be seen as normal,” he stated.

To all those churches asking women to wear wedding gowns to church so they can pray to have husbands, what you are doing is not Christian. . . In fact, it is disgusting.

What sort of desperation is this?

Why are you not asking the men to put on wedding suits and pray for wives?

And by the way, why do you need them to put on wedding gowns, is that what makes the marriage?

And to those who will gladly hire wedding gowns and wear them to church because you were told that it would connect you to your husbands, let me ask you this

When you pray for husbands, what exactly are you telling God to do?

That he should suspend the reasoning and choosing capacity of the type of man you want (and it usually rich men you want) so that even when your attitudes, character, and personality are not what he wants, he will close his eyes to all of them and marry you?”

Angel planted

Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Angel, is plotting to stir up drama in the house between the on-screen couple Adekunle and Venita, and Ceec.

Angel had earlier informed Ilebaye about her plan to prank Adekunle and Venita by planting a love letter in Adekunle’s locker and falsely attributing it to Ceec.

She eventually went along with her plan and was captured hastily writing a love letter on a piece of paper and sprayed it with Ceec’s perfume to give it more credence.

In the letter, she conveyed Ceec’s alleged affection for Adekunle, asserting that she is the best woman for him.

Angel also wrote that Adekunle’s connection with Venita is merely a facade, and hopes they connect outside the house.

Watch a video of Angel reading out the letter below,

She then discreetly placed the letter inside one of Adekunle’s shirts for him to discover later.

“Why it is disastrous for men to marry a woman older than them” – Reno Omokri reveals

Reno Omokri reveals

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has revealed why it is unwise for men who want a monogamous marriage to marry a woman older than them.

Taking to the micro-blogging platform X, Reno argued that men maintain their sexual libido well into their 80s and even 90s, whereas women tend to lose their sex drive after menopause.

According to him, if a woman is older than her husband and loses her libido, it may lead the man to cheat with a younger woman.

Reno Omokri reveals

He added that it is preferrable for men to marry a woman who is way younger than them, instead of their agemate or an older woman

The controversial social media commentator wrote,

“If you are a man with a healthy libido, it is risky to marry a woman who is of the same age as you. It is also risky, but less so, to marry a woman who is just a few years younger than you. However, IF you plan on a monogamous marriage, then it will be disastrous to marry a lady who is older than you. If you both agree that you can be polygamous, then it is not a problem. You say you are in love? Listen, love cannot control your libido. You, as a man will retain your libido into your eighties and possibly nineties if God spares your life. But women do not retain theirs that long. I do not think it is fair. But gender libido imbalance is a fact of life. So, if you marry a woman who is your age mate or older than you, and she loses her libido after menopause, but you retain yours, what are you going to do? Start disturbing Unilag girls? That is why there should be a healthy age gap between husband and wife for a viable marriage.”

Evicted Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Ike Onyema has expressed guilt for throwing Ilebaye’s clothes in the bathroom and apologized.

Two weeks previously, Ike had thrown Ilebaye’s clothes on the bathroom floor in an effort to push her to obtain a third strike, which would have meant that she would be booted from the current season of the reality show.

Ike, however, along with Prince, Lucy, and Seyi, were evicted from the show on Sunday.

Ike admitted in an interview with the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, that after watching people’s reactions, he understood he had gone too far.

He said,

“I am sorry again to everyone about some of the boundaries that I crossed. When I saw people’s reaction to the clip being played back, I was like okay I might have gone too far.

There was no excuse, things just got out of hand. Once the energy came, I overdid it. It is something I struggled with a lot and had a lot of regrets about later. I definitely had to apologize about that publicly to the house and Ilebaye.”

“I made a promise to Alex Unusual” – Prince opens up on why he returned for BBNaija All Stars (Video)

Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Prince Nelson, has revealed that he went on the show in order to keep a commitment to his friend Alex Unusual.

Prince recently admitted that he was one of the initial housemates who was meant to participate in the reality show but turned it down in an interview with Naija FM in Lagos.

He stated he had to be featured as a houseguest because of Alex, apart from promoting his brand, so it was a win-win situation for him.

Prince said,

“Alex was one of the reasons I came into the [Big Brother] House apart from promoting my own businesses and everything. She made me make a promise because I was one of the original housemates that were supposed to go into the House but I declined.

But she made me promise that if at any point Big Brother ever called me again to come into the House even if it is for one day, that I should come even if it was just to say hello and leave that she is going to be pleased. And I said no problem.

So, when the call came, it came at a very convenient time. I was like, okay, it’s cool. I have a promise that I made to someone. I would fulfill the promise and I would also use the opportunity to promote my brand. So, it was a win-win for me.”
