It’s only the third week in Big Brother’s house, and the season 7 housemates have undoubtedly been serving up drama from all sides.
Only days after a housemate was disqualified for violence, another pair, Bryann and Ilebaye, got into a heated argument on Monday.
Ilebaye and Bryann, who have gotten along well since the start of the season, got into a fight on Monday night over rumours going around the house that they are dating.
During the heated argument, Ilebaye issued a stern warning to Bryann to stay away from her and stop peddling rumours that they are in a relationship.
Ilebaye noted that she does not need a relationship or friendship with him and whatever they have had so far is pure cruise.
“I don’t even like you, please don’t ever tell anybody we are dating. Nobody should involve me in any shop with him. Stay away from me I don’t want anything to do with you. Relationship or friendship is not by force in this life.” She said.
A furious Bryann in response hurled insults at her and asked her to go and catch cruise with her father instead.
“Go and catch cruise with your father”, he said in part.
Two women who died briefly have revealed what the ‘afterlife’ is really like, and one of them said the experience was so nice that she wants to go back.
The women, Jessie Sawyer and Betty Eadie, shared their stories on America’s Inside Edition TV programme.
Bettie, who is now 78, said she died after undergoing a hysterectomy operation and met Jesus Christ, angels and “three ancient men”.
“I was in the recovery room and suddenly felt every drop of blood had drained from my body and then this sensation of my spirit coming out of body at tremendous speed. I looked down and saw my body lying on the bed.
“I knew I had died and thought, ‘oh my God, I’m dead’.”
She said she saw three “really ancient men” who told her she had died. She then told them she wanted to see her family for the last time, and “flew” out the window and went to her house.
“My husband was sitting in the armchair and I stood next to him, I was concerned because he didn’t know I had died, nor had my children, and I was worried for all of them.
“But then I was given a glimpse into their futures and saw they’d all lead good lives,”She added.
After receiving this assurance, she returned back to her hospital bed and went into a tunnel and into a black space where she felt ‘extremely relaxed and comfortable’.
At the end of the tunnel, she said she was met by a figure whom she said was Jesus Christ.
“He hugged me and said, it’s not yet your time.” She said the experience was so profound that she wants to go back to the afterlife.
The second woman, Jessie, a mother of two, speaking on her own afterlife experience, said she died at 31 after being rushed to the hospital with internal bleeding after a gynaecological procedure.
She said the experience has eliminated her fear of death and she is totally fine with dying now.
She said;
“I have no fear of dying now, I could die right now and I’d be perfectly OK with it.
“If you’d have told me 10 years ago I would have a near-death experience I wouldn’t have believed you, I don’t even believe in God.”
Describing what her death was like, Jessie said:
“In the distance I could see a figure and I recognized it as one of my best friends who had died two years before.
“I also saw a bright light and that’s when I realised this is death, this is my death.”
She also saw how her death would affect her husband and two children.
“I was shown how my death would impact my family – that my two children, although grief-stricken, would grow up and have good lives.”
According to her, it all happened quickly and before long, she saw herself fall back into her body which “hurt”.
She said she told the doctors what she saw on the other side, and they told her she probably died briefly.
“They said I was walking the line between life and death for a while,” she said.

A Nigerian man has counseled married women against leaving their marriages on grounds of infidelity by their husbands.
The young man identified as John Doe, in a series of Twitter threads, urged married women to never be too quick to divorce their husbands because they cheated.
According to him, divorce is not an option except that the woman is no longer interested in being married.
He maintained that while it’s easier for the cheating husband to move on after a divorce and even get a better spouse, it would be difficult, and most times impossible, for the woman to move on.
His words,
“For married women and especially in Africa, never be too quick to leave your marriage because your husband cheated on you. Except you’re done with marriage for good & don’t wish to be married again. I say this because you don’t even have a better option like the men you plan to leave.
“That man you leave can even find a virgin lady to remarry, you can’t. Except you want to stay celibate for the rest of your life, you’re likely going to be sleeping with another man that is cheating on his own woman with you. It’s like from frying pan to fire.
“Imagine once being a revered wife to a side woman that another man will be cheating with? I said revered wife because in truth, you know that your cheating husband will never wish for you to leave him because he cheated. Cheating is bad but you need to weigh your options.”
“Do all that for you & love your children regardless? Your husband can find another woman who will be faithful to him, but can you? You’re better off cheating back in the marriage rather than divorcing him. But if you get caught, I’m sorry for you.”

He added that police and other security operatives would have also resigned from their jobs because they won’t be getting bribes from yahoo boys.
Taking to Twitter to share his thoughts, Sammy wrote,
“Tbh, what is yahoo compared to government looting? Have you ever thought of what the country would be like if there was no means to survive? Police go resign from force, In fact every force personnel go resign. It’d be a war zone with robbery & kidnap, so y’all should be greatful”

A Nigerian father, Malam Tukur, has narrated how kidnappers killed his 32-year-old son, Abdulmalik Tukur, after collecting N500,000 ransom.
The young man was kidnapped from his family house in Vinkilang community in Yola, Adamawa state capital, along with six others on Monday, August 1.
The other five were released after their families paid a ransom of N400,000 for each of them. However, Malam Tukur said the kidnappers demanded for N50 million to secure the release of his son.
After three days of negotiation, they finally agreed on N500,000 and his family sent a representative to deliver the said amount at a spot in bush.
When the money was delivered around 7pm on Thursday, the kidnappers made the victim and the representative count the money to make sure it was all three.
“After they helped them count the notes, they released Tukur to return home. As he started walking to freedom, they shot him without any explanation,” his father told Daily Trust.
The bereaved father said his son’s murder has left him and the rest of his family in shock, but they have left the matter to God.

Horniman Museum in London have agreed to return a looted collection of 72 treasured artefacts, including 12 Benin Bronzes, back to Nigeria.
The museum said the artefacts, which were stolen from Nigeria by British troops in 1897, will be transferred to the Nigerian government because it is the right thing to do.
Confirming this decision on August 5, the chairwoman of the Trustees of the Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, south-east London, Eve Salomon, said,
“The evidence is very clear that these objects were acquired through force, and external consultation supported our view that it is both moral and appropriate to return their ownership to Nigeria.”
The artefacts includes a brass cockerel altar piece, ivory and brass ceremonial objects, brass bells, and others.
This comes after the Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) asked that the artifacts be returned in January 2022.
Both parties – NCMM and the Horniman trustees – are currently in talks about the formal transfer of ownership and the chances of retaining some artefacts on loan for display, research and education.
The director general of the commission, Professor Abba Tijani, said,
“We very much welcome this decision by the trustees of the Horniman Museum and Gardens.
“Following the endorsement by the Charity Commission, we look forward to a productive discussion on loan agreements and collaborations between the national commission for museums and monuments and the Horniman.”

Job still undone you left the seats to come up stage to make videos when the soundcheck is going on when my venue is not set yet.
