#BBNaija: “How do I lead people who don’t want to be led” – HoH Chichi breaks down in tears following wager loss (Video)

Big Brother Naija level-up housemate and current Head of House, Chichi, got quite emotional on Friday night after the house lost the week’s wager.

The house often receives a wager task every week for food supplies as part of the twist that was introduced this season. Winning the task means that the house will be provided with enough food supplies for the week.

However, last night, after Biggie announced that the house had lost the wager, the Head of House, Chichi, who earlier in the week had trouble getting the housemates to obey her orders, broke down in tears.

Sobbing profusely, Chichi lamented how the housemates frustrated all her efforts to see that they won the wager task in her tenure.

A disappointed Chichi told Bryann that she was certain the housemates would have given the task their best if it were another housemate that won the Head of House.

Watch video below,

It was earlier reported that Chichi appeared to be having a tough time coordinating the house since she emerged as the Head of House.

The 22-year-old exotic dancer emerged as this week’s Head of House after she won the Head of House game on Monday and clinched a spot for herself in the grand finale.

After the argument with Bella during the wager task meeting, Chichi broke down in tears as she complained to her friend, Phyna, about the housemates’ constant questioning of her orders since she emerged as the HOH.

Recall that, on Tuesday night, the housemates met to discuss their weekly task wager, and while Chichi was addressing the house, Bella interrupted her and, at a point, burst into laughter.

Chichi, who wasn’t pleased with Bella’s actions, asked that no one interrupt her. Bella, in response, flared up and stated that Chichi’s approach was wrong and she wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect.

After the drama, Chichi, while speaking to Phyna, sobbed profusely as she questioned why she was the HOH if she could not put the house in order.

Congratulations are in order for a 52-year-old woman as she welcomes a set of triplets after many years of waiting.

A Ghanaian lady , Vivian Akoto Addo-Brown, who shared the story of the quinquagenarian who just became a mum for the first time , said she’s been married twice and her first marriage ended after 10 years when she didn’t bear a child.

After the woman’s first marriage ended, according to Vivian, she wed her current husband, and after eight years of marriage, they were ultimately blessed with triplets.

Sharing videos of the new mum testifying to the goodness of God, Vivian wrote,

“This is how this 52 years of age woman decided to testify to the glory and mercy of God Almighty upon her life.The story is a long one but I will cut it short. She was married to a pastor for 10yrs there was no child, and the pastor husband decided to have children outside, going against their matrimonial vows….,of course that marriage ended.

“She got married again to her present beloved husband and 8yrs later, God has blessed her with not one, not two but three beautiful children this woman who was referred to as that barren, (unfruitful, unproductive, sterile infertile) and so on, is now a mother of triplets very healthy, beautiful and blessed “the triple D”. TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY! GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE”.

“There is no honor in a woman’s love, empower 100 men instead of 1000 women ” – Twitter user Bqmbulu analyzes.

A lot of people believe human empowerment is a great way to help improve the wealth and development of any growing society.

Nigerian Writer – @Bqmbulu who also believes this theory has taken to twitter to explain how empowering a particular gender is the perfect way to help the society grow.

“Dating wise, it’s better to empower 100 men financially than to empower 1000 women. This is because men are hypogamists, ie, they all marry down. While women do the exact opposite. Let’s explain further.

In this case, 99% of those men will most likely pick women who are lower than them on the financial scale. Some of those women will be broke & jobless & even from poverty-stricken homes.

Thus we see that the man’s money doesn’t stay with him alone. He transfers his wealth to his woman & his in-laws. On the otherhand, 100% of those women will aspire to settle for men who are richer than them. While some are lucky to get richer men, some get men who are equally as rich as them & the rest who couldn’t get their first choice often stay single, rich & unmarried.
So we can say that the chances of those 1000 women settling for a broke, jobless man & empowering him & his family is next to zero.

This is why I always say that there’s no honour in a woman’s love. Her love is always selfish & self-seeking.

To buttress further, when you check the list of richest women in the world. Women who came from nothing made the list because they were beneficiaries of either divorce or inheritance from their late partners. Whereas this is never the case with the men’s list.

“It’s been difficult keeping my virginity” – BBNaija star, Cindy

It may seem as though a number of Nigerian women have been inspired to announce their virginity after skit maker Ashmusy announced her status on social media.

Only a few days after Ashmusy announced she’s keeping her chastity until marriage, Big Brother Naija season 4 star, Cindy Okafor, has revealed that she’s also a virgin.

The reality TV star, however, lamented the fact that it has become quite challenging to maintain her virginity in recent times.

Cindy declared that despite the difficulty, she would persevere and resist the temptation to compromise her chastity.

“It’s been difficult keeping my virginity but I’ll stay strong”, she wrote.

In related news, a young lady has taken to social media to cry out that she and other virgins are being marginalized because of their resolve to keep their chastity.

The lady, identified as @Peacelois, in a now viral video, disclosed that she is a virgin, and she decided to go public with her status after realizing that virgins are marginalized in society.

She went on to tell men that virgins still exist and that they should also look in their direction when searching for a wife.

Abuja Professor denies ordering assault of her female police orderly, shares her own side of the story (Video)

Professor Zainab Duke Abiola, who allegedly ordered her workers to beat her female police orderly, Inspector Teju Moses, has denied the allegation.

Reports made this rounds on Thursday morning that the professor ordered an assault on a female Nigerian police officer attached to her as an orderly after she refused to do some domestic chores assigned to her.

A video clip showing the female officer in uniform with a bloodied face went viral and sparked outrage online, with many calling for the professor to be brought to book.

Nigerian Police Force spokesperson, Prince Ademuyiwa Adejobi, later confirmed the arrest of the professor and said the case would be taken to court.

However, Professor Zainab, who is also a lawyer and human rights activist, in a statement released on her behalf by the Afro-European Lawyers League, denied ordering the assault of her female police orderly.

Zainab alleged that she rejected the police officer assigned to her after discovering she was among the perpetrators of violence against innocent Nigerian citizens during the ENDSARS imbroglio.

She said after the rejection, the police officer returned with a vengeful motive at night, banging on her gate with some dangerous weapons, including a gun, threatening to kill everybody in the compound.

It was further alleged that the police officer assaulted members of the professor’s household.

The statement read,

“Our attention has been drawn to a fallacious malicious defamatory publication against our respected Alumnus of the National Institute of Policy and Security Studies, NIPPS, Professor Zainab Duke Mni alleging assault on one of Her police Orderlies. We categorically state that this is NOT true and Nothing could be further from the truth. For the records our respected revered Professor Zainab has Never assaulted anybody anywhere at any time. It is not in her character.

“The facts are: 1. That on the 20th of April 2022 the IGP approved the revalidation and deployment of police Orderlies to our leader based on the fact that she is the Chief Legal Consultant to the Nigerian Police and has her office at the Force headquarters, Abuja.

“2. That the police consequently assigned a female police officer who was among the perpetrators of Violence against innocent Nigerian Citizens during the ENDSARS imbroglio.

“3. That consequent upon discovery of her Orderly’s involvement in police brutality against Nigerians that Professor Zainab rejected the posting of a brutal officer and returned the said Orderly back to Force Headquarters to her bosses and told her Bye bye on the 19th of September.

“4. That to our surprise around 10pm the former Orderly returned with a Vengeance banging on our gates with some dangerous weapons including a gun threatening to kill everybody in the compound and that the police Orderly beat up family members of the Professor’s household.

“5. That as can be seen in the video a crowd soon gathered and there was street brawling crowd fighting and loss of properties.

“6. That it is very strange that the IGP will forcefully, brutally and illegally violate the fundamental Rights and liberties of a distinguished law- abiding citizen and proceed to forcefully take her pictures and maliciously publish same in the print and electronic media in this nascent democratic dispensation.”

“We hereby call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack the Inspector General of Police and bring him to book to face the consequences of this gross violation of our constitution as Alkali Baba Usman is NOT a fit and proper person to hold the office of IGP.”

“No one has anything to say about MI marrying at 40, but made a fuss about Mercy Chinwo and Rita Dominic” – Lady writes

A Nigerian lady has sparked discussion online after she spoke on people’s reaction to MI Abaga’s wedding compared to veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic and Mercy Chinwo, who married at about the same age.

The lady, identified as @aunty_neme on Twitter, says everyone seems to be mute, not saying anything about MI Abaga marrying at his current age (40), but had a lot to say when Mercy Chinwo and Rita Dominic married at 30 and 47, respectively.

“No one actually has anything to say about M.I and getting married at his current “age”. But on Mercy Chinwo and Rita Dominic’s day, Una wan use motivational speech finish us. Odiegwu”. She wrote on Twitter.

@vendorsinlagosng, “That’s the world we live in. It favors men because e they feel men can impregnate a woman at 80 but women can’t carry children at 40 🤷🏼‍♀️”.

@hrm_queen_cee, “If it was a woman that got married at this age like Rita dominics ,motivational quotes will be flying up and down”.

The gentleman took to his Facebook page to say that rather than celebrating a new union, one should be celebrating 20 years of marriage at the age of 46. ICYMI

Nigerian man in the US arrested for killing his bestfriend of 30 years over unpaid debt

A 38-year-old abroad-based Nigerian man, Bolanle Fadairo, has been arrested by the police in Houston, Texas for allegedly killing his fellow Nigerian and friend of 30 years, Michael Essien, and leaving the victim’s two-year-old son, Micah, to die in a hot car.

An argument is said to have ensued between the Fadairo and the deceased over an unpaid debt.

Fadairo is accused of shooting Essien to death after an argument outside a strip center in the 5500 block of El Camino Del Rey and Chimney Rock on Tuesday, September 20. Investigators say Fadairo admitted that he had known Essien for about 30 years and even used the victim’s home address to receive mail.

“(Fadairo) stated the argument started from (Essien) owing him money,” court documents Read

According to the police, Essien and Fadairo had a meeting on the day of the incident during which there was a disagreement between the two men, which resulted in Fadairo killing Essien and fleeing the scene in Essien’s SUV while the deceased’s 2-year-old son was still strapped into a car seat.

The victim’s wife alerted authorities that her husband and son were missing about five hours later. She was able to offer details about her husband’s car, which helped the police locate it roughly a mile from the scene of the incident.

Charging documents said the car was locked, and the windows were rolled up as outdoor temperatures reached 93 degrees. The cause of the boy’s death has yet to be ascertained, but it is believed that he died from heat exhaustion.

Essien’s sister, Jessie Okon, revealed that the deceased shared two other children with his wife: a 5-year-old son and a 1-week-old baby.

“Michael never argued with anybody. Michael would take his shirt off and give to others. He gives his last dime to other people. All I need is my brother”, she said

She said virgins should be honored and revered for keeping themselves pure for their husbands.

She went on to tell men that virgins still exist and that they should also look in their direction when searching for a wife.

“I’m a virgin, that feels too good to say and the reason I’m coming out is because I’ve realised that we are the marginalized in the society. We used to be the standard but right now you cant find a single man who says they want to marry a virgin. I don’t understand how that changed but I believe we deserve to be recognized, we deserve to be respected because we’ve kept ourselves pure for the men”. She said in part.
