BBNaija: Shine Ya housemate, Angel has explained why she played the Head of House game without enthusiasm on Monday, September 13.
Before the games, the 21-year-old housemate was nominated for possible eviction however, she had a chance of saving herself by winning the Head of House game or coming behind as the second runner up and be vested with the veto power to save and replace herself with another housemate.
However, during the games, Angel acted nonchalantly like she didn’t care about winning the game. Although the challenge is a game of luck, the housemates are expected to run with speed and agility but Angel walked majestically with her hands in her pocket.
This didn’t sit right with viewers of the show as she was bashed online for not putting any effort into the game. According to viewers, she should have at least tried to save herself inside the house as this would motivate viewers to vote for her.
Her Instagram handler had to apologize on her behalf.
Well, the Akwa Ibom-born housemate, in a conversation with Saskay, has now cleared the air about her attitude during the game. According to her, she is not as lucky as the other housemates so she decided not to stress herself.
Her words,
“People supporting me will be wondering what was wrong with me during the Head of House game.
“Some people have luck with the game and I don’t, so I don’t bother stressing myself.
“I hope people supporting me understand. My body was just weak. I need to tone down a little bit this week and watch from the sidelines.
“I’m not looking for the fame right now. I just want to rest.”
Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has tackled netizens who always expect people in happy relationships to break up.

According to the mom of one, such people are witches and wizards because it is pure witchcraft to wish evil on people in love.
She added that the bitterness in some people’s heart is the reason why they are not making progress in life.
Here’s what she wrote;
“Witches and wizards wey full Instagram, you see people happy in a relationship and the next evil thing that comes to your mind is **leave them they will soon break up. How do you even sleep at night? Na why most of una no dey ever move forward in life… stagnant piece of shit!!!”

A Nigerian man took to his LinkedIn page recently to share a really lovely story of how he and his current partner met some 8 years ago but after about two years of being friends, he finally summoned the courage to ask her out.
Sharing lovely before and after photos of themselves, the gentleman identified as Bayo Lawal wrote,
It was a sunny day in 2013, I had gone to church to seek God’s face for direction when I saw a beautiful lady on a white dress walking into the church auditorium wearing a white dress, my heart skipped a beat, smiled and thought “This must be an angel” . Few weeks after she was back again to worship and being the fellowship leader of the chapel, I was too serious but not too busy to notice the beauty of this angel. Then she walked up to me & said “I would love to join the workforce” worker”…. “Oh really” I smiled & responded “you are welcome”
I picked interest in her while I was training her group but i wasn’t thinking of any serious affair because at that time I was only thinking of graduating with a first class but yet I was distracted by the beauty & candor of the angel amongst men. I decided I was going to be her friend, I found her to be very calm & cool. So we started rolling together as friends, I was always looking forward to seeing her in the fellowship where we spent quality in presence of God with our minds connected to each other.
Each time I am with her I feel peace and love, so I said to myself one day, ‘I think God sent this angel to me’.. I asked God in prayers and he confirmed the she was mine anddddd so I grabbed it 🤩.
12th of November 2016 was her birthday so I went to her hostel very early that morning with a love note hidden in a book I bought for her as her birthday gift. I think I was shy to ask her out, but I sha did 🤩🤩. Few days after I was expecting an answer but it was as if she didn’t open the book, I was shocked 😳. I waited for months and didn’t get a reply. Hmmmmmmm it was one very long WAIT.
Finally on the 1st of January 2017, after cross over service I received one of the best message of my life from guess who? The very angel God sent to me, it read : “yes I will be your partner, yes I will be your lover, yes I will be your wife, I want to spend the rest of my life with you” .. OH BOY It was a day of celebration!!!
I love you babe with all that is within me and I look forward to ‘husbanding’ YOU for the rest of our lives.

In a quite devastating report, a young girl in Benue state has been admitted in a hospital after she was allegedly battered by her stepsister.
A Human rights activist, Ukan Kurugh shared the story online where he revealed that the young girl identified as Ngohol was rescued on Saturday, September 11 from the hands of her stepsister who allegedly physically abused her.
According to Ngohol, her offense was that she closed the door on the finger of her stepsister.
Sharing the incident alongside photos, Ukan wrote,
“At about 2:37 pm, on Saturday, 11th September, 2021, I received a distress call. It was a case of physical abuse of a minor, Ngohol Sonter (exact age not known) by her step sister, Wasen Sonter (names have been changed).
Ngohol was that afternoon severely beaten by her step sister for allegedly not shutting her mouth, thereby revealing happenings at home to neighbours and whoever cares to listen to her.
She was not fortunate that day because concerned neighbours tried to talk her step sister into avoiding the temptation of abusing the little girl. The abuse, which left the minor with bruises all over her body is coming shortly after Ngohol was beaten for allegedly closing the door against the finger of one of her step sister’s children.
Angered by words from neighbours, Wasen took Ngohol into her room, closed the door and gave her the beating of her life.
Ngohol said she receives beating severally in the hands of her step sister daily, though not as bad as that of Saturday.
She is on admission in a private hospital Makurdi. Doctors at the facility are suspecting a case of dislocation in one of the hands.
It is a clear case of abuse as it is beyond child’s discipline. My boss Dr. Mrs Helen Teghtegh had put a call to NAPTIP who came and picked the lady in question to their office while the girl is to continue with her recovery and we are possibly gonna be handing her over to the agency tomorrow officially when she is discharged.”
