Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ star, Saga Adeolu has revealed that his much-publicized proposal video to his co-star and love interest, Nini Singh, was a skit.
In a recent interview on Naija FM, the fitness enthusiast and artist made this shocking revelation that has dashed the hopes of many fans of their unique love story.
This comes weeks after photos and videos from the romantic proposal surfaced on the internet, leaving many fans excited that Saga’s relentless pursuit of Nini in the BBNaija house had finally paid off. Watch the proposal video here
Sadly, in an unexpected twist, Saga has disclosed that the proposal was not real and was only a skit they both featured in in December last year.
According to him, it was a very private video and he doesn’t know how it found its way to the internet, stating that he was surprised when he got wind of its virality.
In an interview with media personality Chude, Saga addressed the relationship between himself and Nini.
According to Saga, he was closer to Nini because, he is naturally an emotional human being and didn’t see his closeness to Nini as something strange.
“It’s not like I committed any crime. I followed one woman, as it should be,” Saga said.
According to him, he is to blame to some extent for the way people perceive him because of how close he was with Nini, since he recalled the tears he shed in front of the camera when Nini was nowhere to be found, when he could have cried under the sheets without anyone seeing.
Big Brother Naija season 7 finalist, Chinenyenwa Desire Okoebor, popularly known as Chichi, recently lashed out at some trolls who berated and wished her dead on Twitter.

“God Abeg
My TL is an absolute Mess!!

“Haha is this woman alive?” the troll with handle ‘Phynas heel on floor’ wrote.
Chichi didn’t take the comment lightly as she fired back at the troll with harsh words.
“I should be asking you because the fxxl that let you escape the gate of hell should be defunded and relieved of their job,” the 23-year-old star wrote.
Another troll who labelled her a ‘failure’ wrote,
“Afa , how market ,you still even reach morning I taught you have kicked bucket since last night cause you failed woefully ”
In response, Chichi wrote,
“If I come for you now you’ll be in shock again and tag it “it’s not chichi typing” to make your low self esteem feel good anuofia”

A final-year student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, identified as Okoli Ahize Chizoputam, has reportedly been beaten to death by an irate mob over an alleged theft.
According to reports, the deceased was alleged to have stolen a phone at the Obafemi Awolowo Hall of Residence on the campus on Monday, April 10, but rather than reporting him to the university management, he was lynched by a crowd of angry students.
He was later rushed to the OAU Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, where he was confirmed dead on Tuesday afternoon, April 11.
The university, in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olanrewaju, confirmed that the victim died from a “mob action on the allegation that he stole a phone.”
Olarewaju added that the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Adebayo Bamire, has set up a committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
“A student died and the management is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. We will make our position known after investigation,” the statement read in part.
Meanwhile, the university’s students’ union, via a statement signed by its president, Olayiwole Festus, said the deceased was assaulted by a mob at Awo Hall on Monday and was later declared dead on arrival at the OAU Teaching Hospital.
“I regret to announce the death of a Part 5 student assaulted in a mob action at Awo Hall on Monday. The student was declared dead on arrival at the Emergency Medicine Department of OAU Teaching Hospital this (Tuesday) afternoon.
“Preliminary investigations show that the deceased was accused to have stolen a phone. While we await an official report from the law enforcement agencies, I must state that this incident is a very sad one for Great Ife Students’ Union because our union is not a union of barbarians but that of intellectuals.
“Arrests and investigations of individuals suspected to be connected with the assault of the deceased are being made for consequent legal actions. Our union does not support mob actions and justice must be served in this incident. Pending investigations of this unfortunate development, the activities of the Hall Executive Council of Awo Hall are suspended immediately.” Olayiwola said.
Olayiwola condemned the mob action, describing it as inhumane, and insisted that the perpetrators be brought to justice, irrespective of those involved.
“Mob actions are banned and not allowed on the OAU campus! I reassure Great Ife students that the union is working assiduously with the school authorities and the relevant law enforcement officers to make sure that justice is meted out appropriately,” he added.

A Kenyan man has sparked outrage on Twitter after he made an insensitive comment about women who gave birth through cesarean section (CS).
The man, a computer scientist from Kenya, opined in a post he shared on the microblogging platform that women who gave birth via cesarean section (CS) don’t love their children as much as women who gave birth naturally.
According to him, women who gave birth through CS don’t love their children enough because they don’t know the pain of giving birth.
He noted that they didn’t labor enough for the child, and the only experience of childbirth they have is surgery pain, which is reduced by anesthetic drugs.
“UNPOPULAR OPINION: Mothers who gave birth through cesarean section(CS) don’t know the pain of giving birth. They didn’t labor enough for the child hence they don’t really love their children. They only know surgery pain which is reduced by anesthetic drugs. Anyway, what do I know?” He wrote on Twitter.
His post sparked reactions from netizens, especially women, who condemned him for trivializing the pain of childbirth.
Reacting, a Twitter user @LauraJackieCar2 wrote, “Unbelievable! So being cut and opened up has become the new ecstasy? Even being pregnant for 9 months isn’t pain enough to love a child?”
@gbaoo wrote, “Labour Pain can be intensed but shorter to the pain of CS, after many years the pain sensations and the scar remains for life. Don’t compare the two childbirth mode. I know how it is because I experienced it. It made me love my spouse better than before, seeing her slashed opened”.

A Kenyan man has sparked outrage on social media after he shared his unpopular opinion about women who gave birth via cesarean section (CS).
The computer scientist took to Twitter to argue that women who gave birth via CS did not ‘labour hard enough’ for their children and so do not love them as much as women who gave birth naturally.
According to him, such women did not feel the pain of childbirth because they were sedated with anesthetic drugs during the surgical procedure.
He tweeted:
“UNPOPULAR OPINION: Mothers who gave birth through cesarean section(CS) don’t know the pain of giving birth. They didn’t labor enough for the child hence they don’t really love their children. They only know surgery pain which is reduced by anesthetic drugs. Anyway, what do I know?”

The 13-year marriage between Susan Udeze and her estranged husband, Frank, has been annulled by an Ibadan Grade “A” Customary Court on the grounds of an alleged threat to life.
The court’s president, Mrs. S.M. Akintayo, gave the ruling and stated that she had decided to dissolve the marriage for the sake of peace and order.
Udeze was given custody of the two kids by Akintayo, who also mandated that Frank pay N15,000 per month as a food allowance.
She gave Udeze and Frank shared responsibility for the children’s education, health care, and other wellbeing.
The injunction preventing Frank from harassing, intimidating, or meddling in Udeze’s private life was also approved by the court’s president.
She gave Udeze the directive to allow Frank access to the kids.
NAN reports that Udeze told the court in January 2022 that if she continued to live under the same roof as her husband, he may “sniff life out of her.”
“Frank labelled me a witch and sent me out of the house at night after beating the hell out of me. He showed no form of consolation when my mother died. He does not provide for our three children. I became more scared of Frank when he threatened to pour acid on me. I reported the incident at the police station and ran away from his house,” she said.
The defendant was not present in court when was summoned to begin his defense.
A yet-to-be identified man has gone to the great beyond after he slumped by the side of the road in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

She said passersby who gathered around the embattled man were only taking pictures instead of helping him.
“This afternoon, the man was walking by the roadside. Later he fell down. Some people gathered around him. He was struggling to stand up but couldn’t. He later died,” she explained.
“Nobody knew him. People were afraid to touch him because if police come now they may arrest you for questioning. So nobody wanted problem. The man died there.”

Nollywood actress, Ruby Ojiakor has averred that only actresses desperate for fame sleep with movie producers in exchange for a movie role.
The mother of one stated this in a recent interview while speaking on the rampant cases of sexual harassment and sex-for-roles in the movie industry.
According to her, only those who want to be famous by any means allow themselves to be used by randy producers to satisfy their sexual desires.
She said: “It is good when an actress is talented and knows what she is doing. Many of the girls that prefer to sleep with filmmakers are not that good at what they do. They are just desperate, want to become overnight stars. If one is not desperate and one keeps praying to God, one will get movie roles, even if one does not sleep with filmmakers. The filmmakers will not have any option in such a case because the person is good. It is important for actresses to always work on themselves. Once they do so, they will always get jobs. I still get calls despite turning down sexual advances from producers.”
Speaking further, Ruby recounted her ugly encounter with a movie producer who wanted to sleep with her for a role.
“I remember when I was called for a job in Enugu and we shot it for two days. I was supposed to be the female lead character in the movie. The marketer that owned the job wanted to ‘get down’ with me. But, I told him I could not do such a thing. I thought that since I had started shooting some scenes in the movie, nothing could be done to me and he cannot cancel my scenes, which I shot with Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, then.
I also felt Majid would not want to re-act the scenes he had done before. Those factors made me think that the producer’s decision to change me would be fruitless. But to my surprise, I was not called to continue my scenes. When I challenged the production manager, he said I should not be angry because someone else had been called to play the role. I was not given any reason for being removed from that project.
I asked if Majid agreed to re-shoot those scenes, and I was told he was paid extra money to do so. That was how I lost a movie role because I refused to sleep with the owner of the movie. The scenes I had already shot were wiped out from that movie. That was a painful experience, but I have moved on.”
On how to curb sex-for-role which has eaten deep into the film industry, the Enugu-born actress stated that she does not believe it can be eradicated and that it is up to actresses to maintain high standards and refuse to sleep with film makers.
“I don’t think anything can be done to stop sexual advances from filmmakers. Some people have tried to report them, but it has not yielded any positive result. When an actress reports an offender, she is practically setting herself up for a fall. The offenders know themselves, and if one person reports any of them, they would gang up against that actress in the industry, and she would not be getting movie roles.
It is just like a cartel. The best thing is to train oneself and be firm that even if others are doing it, one will not do it. That was what I did,” Ruby Ojiakor asserted.
Comedian Basketmouth has seemingly clapped back at his colleague, AY, after the latter shaded him during his show.
AY, who recently opened up about his over 17-year beef with Basketmouth in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, threw a jab at Basketmouth at his AY LIVE show a few days ago.
While performing at the show, which was held on Easter Sunday, AY made reference to the N30,000 saga, which he claimed was the genesis of their squabble, using singer Portable’s trending sound, “I am a baboon, I live in the zoo”.
“30K.. Basket “O feku, O feku,” he sang in Yoruba, which means, “Basket, do you want to die?” “You want to die.”ICYMI, watch video here.
In what seems to be a response to AY’s criticism, Basketmouth jokingly asked his Instagram followers if a “beast” could consume chin chin while posting a video of himself eating it on a plane.
“Beast wey dey chop Chinchin…that wan na Beast?” He captioned the video.

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi, has reacted to an old photo of his colleagues, Basketmouth and AY, together.
You will recall that amid the ongoing feud between Basketmouth and AY, netizens dug out an old photo of the two together after Basketmouth claimed in a chat with media personality Nedu on his “Honest Bunch” podcast that he and his colleague AY were never friends and had never taken a photo together.
Basketmouth denied ever being friends with AY while reacting to the latter’s claim that he was humiliated at his wedding.
AY, during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, narrated how he attended Basketmouth’s wedding but was denied entry.
According to him, while his wife’s name was on the guest list, his wasn’t, so they had to go back home without attending the wedding.
However, Basketmouth, while sharing his own side of the story on Nedu’s Honest Bunch podcast, said AY or his wife, Mabel, were not invited to his wedding.
He said he couldn’t have invited the whole industry to his wedding, so there was a guest list that contained only the names of his friends.
He said since he didn’t consider AY a friend, he didn’t invite him or his wife. He further asserted that he had never taken a photo with Ay.
However, shortly after Basketmouth’s interview with Nedu went viral, netizens dug out old photos of him and AY together.

Nigerian entertainment journalist, Joey Akan has taken to Twitter to express his displeasure with the streaming manipulation that has been a cause of worry for the music industry.
In a series of tweets, Joey stated that musicians’ fascination with boasting about their songs’ top positions on the music charts was the reason stream farming became so popular in the business.
According to him, stream farming is immoral and artists that engage in it are doing it to deceive their followers, clients, and even other artists.
Akan also claimed that a musician had employed a stream farmer to work on his tune, boosting the number of streams by using robots or numerous phones.
He said that once Apple learned of the violation, they removed the music and the artist phoned the police to report the farmer he had hired to work on his song.
He wrote;
“Stream farming in Nigeria gained prominence with our collective obsession with taking screenshots of “number 1 song in the country.”
Especially when we all know that Apple Music top 100 isn’t reflective of listener habits. As the chart gain prominence, we decided to hack it.
I know showbiz is rooted in invention and everyone creates a facade for sale. But stream farming isn’t just synthetic social ops. It’s a moral crime against the perpetrator, and other artists looking to advance. You deceive fans, business partners and even your colleagues.
For many, stream farming is more marketing tool, than an end in itself. If I drop a song, I can engineer people to care by pushing it to Top 10 on the charts. When people see a top 10 record, FOMO creeps in and they stream. If they like the song, you have a hit. So for many stream farming is just another way to put the music in front of everyone.
The more people go to these charts to listen to songs, there is a higher chance that they would mindlessly stream through the top 10. If your song is any good, people then love it.
I remember last year when someone dropped a wack jam, and no one cared. He hired a stream farmer to work on it and send bots to jack it up the charts. And initially, they were successful.
And then Apple noticed, pulled it down. Artist carried police and arrested the farmer.
Artist: “You promised to market my song, why has Apple Music removed my song. Please put back my song.
Farmer: “I no know. I did my normal marketing thing.”
Artist: “You will like police station. Olopa ma ko everybody. Oya, enter van.”
