Big Brother Naija ‘shine ya eye’ housemates, Whitemoney and JMK were recently spotted cuddling under the duvet after light out.
While the other housemates went to bed the camera captured Whitemoney fondly called Mazi and JMK enjoying some romantic moment together.
This is coming after Whitemony opened up to the curvaceous housemate, JMK on why he can’t date her. He thinks he’s a clingy lover which might be bad for her game in the house.
According to him, it’s better for him to be close to all female housemates at the same time than focus his attention on her alone.
“If I give you affection you’ll run away because I’ll do it too much. I don’t know how to approach women but once I like you I wouldn’t give you space and I’m sure that will affect you in the house. So I’ll just be with all the girls in the house,” he said.
Media personality, Shade Ladipo, has reacted to the viral video of actor, Jim Iyke, confronting his colleague, Uche Maduagwu, over his comment about him.

The controversial actor had likened Jim to embattled Nigerian sociality, HushpuppI, who is currently in FBI custody for alleged fraud. According to him, he wants Jim to be arrested as well because he doesn’t know the source of his wealth.
Jim didn’t take the accusation lightly as he tracked him down to a movie set and physically confronted him. In the viral video which trended on social media recently, Jim dealt him blows and kicks before they were separated. ICYMI
Reacting to this, Shade Ladipo took to her Instagram page to throw a subtle shade at him, adding that people should get busy so they won’t be looking for trolls up and down.
She wrote in part, “I hope this thing of Jim Iyke tracking down a troll is a stunt, all these antique actors that don’t have much to do are really becoming a problem. Get busy my brother so you won’t be looking for a troll”.

She revealed this during her Diary Session on Tuesday with Big Brother where she said,
“I felt a certain way when my name was called. I think some housemates hate my guts. I think Whitemoney, Angel, Queen might have nominated me.
“I was really hurt that Liquorose couldn’t save me with her veto power but then I thought of it and I felt I really messed up. I don’t think Liquorose’s choice of deputy is a good one.

Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani has stated that her children are not allowed to call her husband, Segun Wealth, Dad.

She noted that she will never let him do that, as the idea is wrong and would be unfair on the little child.
“I won’t let him do that no matter what, is it like he doesn’t have his own dad, no is no, that is wrong”, she replied the fan.
Sharing a screenshot of her exchange with the fan on her Instagram page, she further explained why her kids are not allowed to call her husband ‘dad’.
“On this pregnancy series I’m here to touch all areas, someone made this comment on my previous post, And I had this to say, Why would I feel comfortable for my kid to call my husband dad when it’s not like his dad is dead or something, I have never and will never stop my kids from their dads regardless of our situations.”
“I make sure they have a life with their dads and I don’t get involved, I feel its extremely wrong to support such, Every child deserves the right to know right from wrong, everyone’s pain and story is different so they are free to make their decisions the way it dims them fit, you don’t even want to know half of my pain but I decided to choose my kids happiness always and put things behind me to co-parent.”
“For the greater good and balanced life for my kids, some people don’t forgive easily, so I can’t be the one to tell them what to do or decisions to take or what to do with their kids, But as for me, I can forgive but I don’t forget, my child ain’t calling nobody dad except his dad, it’s still doesn’t mean he won’t respect his stepdad and know that’s a fatherly figure to look up to, but it’s best to let them know the truth and value it for the future the way you go with them might be the same way they go with their kids and they will think that’s the right thing to do, always think about the future when making decisions, teach them love and compassion over pain.

Brand strategist, Samuel Otigba has opined that lack of money has a way of giving people a false sense of modesty and humility.
According to him, people’s core values are tested when they have money to fund their desired lifestyle. So, they shouldn’t think they are humble until their values are tested.
The businessman added that once they are wealthy, a lot of people will be shocked to realize that it wasn’t their self control or their faith in God that made them humble.
“When you are broke, everything seems linear, your taste in things are simple & sometimes that creates a false sense of modesty. Having money opens you up to a world of choices & gives you access to options you thought you never had, where your core values will be tested daily.”
“If you think you are humble, wait till you have money that can’t finish & then check yourself again. You’ll be shocked it wasn’t self control, good upbringing or your faith in God that was keeping you lowly, it was constant lack.”
A Nigerian man identified as one Saviour Aniefok is reported to be on the run after allegedly beating his seven-year-old son, Nathaniel, to death over a piece of fish.
According to reports surrounding the incident, the tragic incident happened at the suspect’s residence in the Shangisha area of Magodo Phase 2, Lagos State.
Aniefok allegedly tortured the boy over the allegation that he stole a piece of fish belonging to one of his customers.
A report by Punch reveals that Aniefok, an artisan, had repaired a faulty microwave oven for a customer, who gave him a piece of fish to test it after repair.
Aniefok reportedly forgot to return the fish while delivering the repaired microwave to the customer so he took it home for preservation.
One of the neighbours told the publication that Saviour was fond of torturing Nathaniel and his brother, Charles.
“I still saw Nathaniel on Sunday afternoon. In fact, I gave him snacks to eat. Around 10pm, we started to hear Nathaniel shouting and crying for help; we also heard loud bangs on the floor and wall indicating that he was being beaten,” the neighbour said.
“As he was crying, Saviour was telling him to shut up. I personally thought their stepmother was at home to caution him. But later, we got to know she had travelled. Surprisingly, I heard Nathaniel died the following day.”
Another neighbour said the father facilitated Nathaniel’s burial the following day, adding that he went into hiding and took Charles along to conceal the crime
“I was told his father said he was sick; someone that I saw playing in the compound. The injuries he sustained during the torture must have been responsible for his death. We only saw Saviour on two separate occasions after his son died. We have also not seen the stepmother of the children
“We learnt that the police have arrested his brother but we don’t know if Saviour has been arrested. I have seen him torturing one of the boys to the point of carrying the boy up and slamming him to the ground,” the neighbour said.
Another neighbour said he saw Saviour and three other persons attempting to convey Nathaniel to a location in the state around 4am.
“I saw Nathaniel lying naked in the back seat of Saviour’s car. I observed that a pain relief substance had been used to massage his body because I smelt it. I was on my way to work when I saw them.”
Good Samaritans contacted the Child Protection Unit of the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development, which informed the Isheri Police Division to investigate the case.
When contacted, Saviour denied torturing his son to death, adding that Nathaniel was fleeing from being disciplined for stealing his customer’s fish when he fell and smashed his head on tiles.
“I didn’t torture my son to death. After I returned from church on Sunday, I got home and realised my customer’s fish had been touched. I asked who touched it and Charles said he was not the one. I asked Nathaniel, but he also denied it. I was going inside my room when Nathaniel thought I wanted to get a cane and as he attempted to run, he fell and hit his head on the tiles.
“I observed he was behaving strangely around 2am, so I quickly rushed him to a nearby hospital but it was locked. I rushed him to another hospital in Ketu, where he was referred to another hospital, but he died
“I didn’t go into hiding; my mother was sick, and I came home with my other child to see her and tell her what happened. I wanted to return to Lagos today but the IPOB stay-at-home order prevented me.” he added.
….Nice Work Guys”
