#BBNaija: WhiteMoney flees from room as Princess tries to cuddle with him (video)

Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Whitemoney fled his room after the Jacuzzi party on Friday night to avoid Princess who was waiting for him to cuddle her.

On Friday night while they made dinner, Princess loudly declared that she was horny and wants to make love. Well, after the Jacuzzi party the ‘horny Princess’ shot her shot at Mazi but was curved.

Whitemoney had to leave his room to the Red room to prevent anything from happening between them. On seeing Whitemoney in their room, Angel and Arin asked why he fled his room and in response White briefed them on the situation on ground.

“Princess is on the bed waiting for me to come and cuddle her. Since both of us share the same room, i cannot avoid her and i don’t want to hurt her feelings. I want to stay away from the room until I confirm she is sleeping”, he said.

Angel however advised Whitemoney to openly tell Princess that he doesn’t want to cuddle or better still fulfil her desires and cuddle her as the ‘sugar daddy’ of the house.

“Don’t allow that girl to wait. Just go and tell her that you don’t want to cuddle so she’ll not stay up waiting for you. It’s not nice.” Angel said.

Meanwhile in the other room Princess was seen lamenting to Liquorose about Whitemoney not wanting her and running away from her.

#BBNaija: “We no dey chop since whitemoney go” – Nini attacks Maria over Whitemoney’s kitchen ban (video)

Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Nini and the current Deputy Head of House, Maria were involved in an heated argument on Friday night, over Whitemoney’s kitchen ban.

Recall that the current Head of House, Pere with the support of his deputy, Maria relieved Whitemoney of kitchen duties, alleging that it is his strategy and is bad for the house.

Just a few days after White’s kitchen sack, it started to take a toll on the housemates.. It’s either they are eating food that wasn’t properly cooked or sometimes starve because there was no food in the kitchen.

Boma also confirmed to Pere on Friday morning that ever since his decision to relieve Whitemoney of cooking duties, the kitchen was no longer organized.

Last night one of the housemates, Nini was no longer having it and verbally attacked the deputy Head of House, Maria.

According to Nini it’s okay if cooking and ensuring that the housemates are fine is Whitemoney’s strategy, as he’s working hard so he should not be stopped.

“If it is his strategy, it’s fine, if we don’t get to nominate him, it’s fine… play your game and let him play his… We no dey chop since whitemoney go. If it’s is strategy so what? He’s working hard for his strategy. Do you know what it means to cook everyday, you people are talking about strategy. An hungry man is an angry man I’m very angry”. Nini said

“University made me feel like a failure, Boys were getting As and future looking bright, i was dropping mixtapes..” – Rapper BlaqBonez

Nigerian Rapper, Emeka, AKA BlaqBonez, has revealed that going through the university almost sent him into a state of depression.

According to BlaqBonez, while his peers were focused on getting As, his own priority was his music.

He added that he was grateful the music thing eventually worked out because if he didn’t, he has no idea on who would have been taking care of his mother.

His tweets read ;

I can’t believe I was almost depressed in University cos them engineering shit was killing me, all i wanted to do was rap

University made me feel like a failure, n*ggas were getting As and future looking bright, i was dropping mixtapes and hoping notjustokay would post it Persevering face

Lady restores peace in her marriage after beating up her mother-in-law

No one would have thought that violence in a scenario like this one would be the solution to the problem but the beating a South African lady gave her mother-in-law appears to have resolved the problem of the latter taunting the former in her marriage.

When Twitter user, @TheeLadi’s cousin’s mother-in-law, won’t stop taunting her over her marriage to her son, @TheeLadi’s cousin, who is known to be quite temperamental resorted to boxing her mother-in-law when the chance came.

According to @TheeLadi, her cousin’s mother-in-law and her cousin haven’t been in best of terms for years and because they lived in the same space, her cousin’s marriage was not so peaceful.

There was a brief resolve of the grudge between both women for a while, but it returned when the mother-in-law decided to taunt her daughter-in-law over not baring children and even went as far as bringing another woman for her son to bare him kids.

This action is what led her daughter-in-law into giving a her a serious beating when they were left alone — an action the daughter-in-law denied when she was confronted after the mother-in-law had reported her.

Read the whole thing as shared by @TheeLadi,

My cousin is just one of those people who believe in an eye for an eye. It’s her personal dynamic and if you start with her you better prepare for the aftermath. For instance, a distant uncle tried to beat her once (think she was 9) for being “disrespectful” and she told my uncle gore, “katse e tlo hwa e te ngwapetše” which basically means, “let’s square up!” So yeah she’s just always been like that. However, marriage had tamed her in a way. She has ALWAYS had problems with her mom in-law. Her father in-law would intervene here and there but it wouldn’t help much in the long run. She had never retaliated.

Lady reportedly sleeps with 300 men in 5 months to acquire a Lexus car and an iPhone; plans to stay celibate till end of year to “regain” herself

According to Achalugo, the lady had a target of 300 men to sleep with in five months and she actually did achieve her goal… the result of her perseverance was an iPhone and a Lexus car.

Achalugo shared that her friend then advised her to reduce the number by going for richer guys to which the lady said she plans on going celibate till the end of the year to “regain” herself.

Here’s what Achalugo wrote,

I hate myself for eavesdropping, but this lady told her friend in the lounge that under 5 months she had a Target of 300 men and she fulfilled it; and that’s what got her the Lexus RX 2019 and her iPhone.
Her friend was now advising her to reduce the number and go for richer guys

#BBNaija: “God would save you” – Pere advises Maria to pray against eviction

He said this on Friday in the HoH lounge where he and Maria discussed various topics ranging from the Head of House position to evictions and nominations.

“I’m just trying to think who would save me,” she said.

“God would save you. You’ll need to pray,” was his response.

Lady unknowingly helps her boyfriend shop for his wedding to another woman; she helped him pick his wedding shoes

In what can be said to be another version of premium breakfasts being served this season, a lady has narrated how a friend of hers unknowingly helped her boyfriend shop for his wedding… to another woman.

The lady who gave the narrative of Twitter revealed that her friend wouldn’t have guessed that her boyfriend was planning a wedding because of how he was always physically present in her life.

The said boyfriend gave the lady a spare key to his house and when she calls him before going to his house, he’s always exasperated over the gesture because the symbolism of her having a spare key is she can go to his place whenever she wants without having to announce it.

The spare key, him always stopping by at her place when he’s back from work and seeing her almost all of the time, is the main reason why the lady will be unsuspecting of his motive but on one fateful weekend when she didn’t see him, she asked jokingly if he was getting married and his response was “something like that“.

The lady’s friend, Abeni on Twitter, gave the narrative as thus,

They served my babe breakfast this week.
Oloshi dey do wedding, he no talk anything.
They’ve see each other literally everyday since November.
She asked as a joke cos she didn’t see him over the weekend, ‘what’s up you getting married?’
He say ‘something like that’

Any woman who questions the position of a man in the family is under a demonic influence – Faith Oyedepo

Mrs. Faith Oyedepo, wife of Bishop David Oyedepo, has said any woman or women’s organization that attempts to question the position of man in a family should be seen as one under a demonic influence.

Her comments come just few days after her husband said females who want to practice feminism should forget about marriage.

According to Mrs. Oyedepo, women are expected to be in subjection to their husbands in everything.

In her words ;

”Any woman or women’s organization that attempts to question the position of the man in the family should be regarded as being under a demonic influence. God expects that just as the Church is subject to Christ in everything, even so, women should be in subjection to their husbands in everything.”

In a rejoinder post, she wrote ;

Submission by the woman to her husband has to be done in love, not out of fear or threats. When it is rooted in love, it is perfect and brings God’s presence down in the home. Healing For Hurting Marriages

“People like you may end up as pastors that marry members’ wives” – Reno Omokri slams troll who criticized him over a photo he shared online

Reno Omokri slams

Former presidential aide and author, Reno Omokri, has lambasted a troll who criticized him over a photo he shared on his Instagram page.

Reno Omokri slams troll

Reno had shared a photo he took while on vacation in Barbados and a lady wearing a swimsuit could be seen in the background.

Reno Omokri slams

The troll, named Oke Oghenetegar, tackled Reno for sharing that kind of photo when he claims to be a pastor. According to Oke, Reno should have cropped the lady out of the photo instead of posting it like that.

See the comment below,

The activist spotted the trolls’ comment and made a public shame of him on his Instagram page. Reno fired back at the troll, saying it is his type that would end up as pastors who marry their church member’s wife.

He wrote:

“Dear Oke,

A woman in a bikini is a naked woman to you? I now understand what Governor Zulum of Borno meant when he said ‘some Boko Haram members are Christians’.

Let Scripture teach you what purity is: “Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame”-Genesis 2:25.

Scripture says “To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure”-Titus 1:15.

She is on the beach to swim. What did you expect her to wear? Buba and iro?

Me that was in the photo, I did not even notice the woman. What took your eye there? As a man thinks in his heart, so is he-Proverbs 23:7. Oke, check yourself! People like you may end up as pastors that marry members wives!

Human CCTV like you.”

Justin Beiber’s feature on Wizkid’s ‘Essence’: A truimphant win for Afrobeats

If you are a lover of sensational singer, Wizkid or a lover of Nigerian music in general, then you’ve caught the buzz on international pop artiste, Justin Bieber’s feature on Wizkid and singer, Tems’ summer hit, “Essence”. Social media was agog after the international music acts shared news of the collaboration on their respective social media pages because it came as a shock to many.

Although the song has been topping both international and local charts since it’s release in October 30, 2020, and enjoying airplay around the globe, the collaboration between Afrobeat legend, Wizkid and Canadian singer, Justin Beiber, was unprecedented. Essence sits currently at number 12 on the US Apple Music top 100 chart, and No.54 on Billboard Hot 100 — in July of 2021 the track topped the Billboard World Digital Songs Sales list.

Wizkid’s ‘Essence’

Essence, which is a fusion of Afrobeat and R&B has proven to be a timeless piece and while one might wonder why there’s such a fuss about it, one has to understand that Wizkid is changing the world’s perspective about Afrobeat and putting Nigeria and Africa at large on the map. Ghanaian singer, Shatta Wale, even attested to the huge impact of the Nigerian music industry on the African music scene. In his words, “Thanks to Nigeria, we are all Afrobeats artistes.” Billionaire Barbadian singer, Rihanna was recently spotted vibing to the rhythm of the song, which one would not be wrong to describe it as the most successful song on the ‘MIL’ album. Essence also made it to the top list of former U.S president Barack Obama’s favourite songs of 2020.

Thanks to Nigeria, we are all Afrobeats artistes. – Shatta Wale

Meanwhile, millions of people around the world have gotten wind of Nigerian superstar, Wizkid and sensational singer, Tems, with Justin Beiber’s single post on his official Instagram and Twitter page. It is worthy to note that Justin Beiber has over 188 million followers on Instagram and 113.9 million followers on Twitter, as against Wizkid’s 12.6 million followers on Instagram and 8.6 million followers on Twitter, which consequently means more audience and streams for the song.

Wizkid’s ‘Essence’

This is definitely a huge win for Wizkid, Tems and Afrobeat, as they’ve gained international exposure with this collabo. Even though Wizkid has an array of international collaborations with foreign music stars like Beyoncé, Akon, Drake, Tyga, and others, he appears to be gunning for more as seen with this new feature.

Essence could experience a leap on the chart following the release of the remix featuring Justin Bieber. Remember how Bieber’s input on Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi’s ‘Despacito’ made the track become the most streamed song in history. Luis released a remix version of the popular ‘Despacito’ featuring Justin Bieber in 2017 and his feature on the song took it to stratospheric heights, including an impressive run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, July 2017.

Wizkid’s ‘Essence’

As much as it appears Wizkid and Tems are the major beneficiaries of this collabo, other Nigerian and African singers will also get a slice of the national cake. The “Made in Lagos” hitmaker has set the pace for other African singers to collaborate with foreign artistes, without much hassle. This would advertently make African music a force to be reckoned with in the global stage.

At the end of August 2021, Wizkid is set to release a deluxe version to his groundbreaking album, Made In Lagos. Essence remix is only proof that there are more records and boundaries to break, so fans, listeners should sit tight and let the miracle begin.

#BBNaija: “I was married for close to six years, now I am divorced” – Boma reveals

Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Boma has revealed that he’s divorced after almost 6 years of marriage.

The 34-year-old actor and model made this revelation during his diary session with Big Brother on Friday afternoon, August 13th.

Biggie asked what he thinks about married couples running a joint account; a topic the housemates are expected to speak on for their Friday task. In response, Boma noted that his experience would help him in the task adding that the issue of couples running a joint account was one of reasons for his divorce.

In his words,

“I am personalizing the task as someone that has been married. I was married. I think my experience here would play a part. I have been married for close to six years but I am currently divorced and this topic was one of the reasons why I was also divorced.

So preparing for this was very personal. We are following all the rules in the brief as much as we can, dressing for the part. I have been able to share my experiences with the male housemates and they do want me to come in and close the debate because they think my points are really strong coming from a personal experience and the points I have.
