Her tweet reads,
“Women openly market charms that keep Men vulnerable in order to milk all their money, Women openly buy, no outrage, no arrests.
“If a man lace a girl’s drink To sleep with her he’s a monster. If a woman use dark powers to milk a man’s wealth she’s securing the bag.

“A fool can be described as a man with an iPhone 10 who sends money to a girl that sends him an ‘urgent 2k’ text with an iPhone 12. These girls are marketers. They have their daily target. You are not special to her. You are just one mugu among her many Maliyamungus”
Other men use their phones to transact shares, bitcoin and trade forex. And you are there trading in the shares of urgent 2k girls. When poverty hits at the end of the day, you will start blaming your innocent village people for your predicament”.
WhiteMoney, one of the popular Housemates for Big Brother Naija Season 6 has said that Pere’s hatred towards him started from outside the house.
This was disclosed during his diary session, yesterday, Wednesday, where he told biggie that Pere seems to know him from outside the house.
According to him, he didn’t know Pere until they crossed path during the first day in the Big Brother Naija house.
Mazi, as he is fondly called by other housemates noted that the hatred heightened after Pere figured out that he knew who the wildcards were.
“After the altercations I had with him the head of house called the both of us and Boma as the agitator to settle the issue.
“He gave his side of his story and apparently he has been holding this grudge for me from outside the house. Pere’s hatred for me started from outside the house even though I don’t know him.
“He even started saying something about the wildcard that someone who works with the BBN team told me like say Biggy na my neighbor for house.
“I was really upset with the way I was treated but the moment he said he wasn’t going to apologize to me all my anger melted down. It became obvious that this guy naturally had very bad behavior.
“However, I told him that he can only do this inside Biggy’s house because if it were to be outside, I won’t be the one fighting him a lot of people will treat his fuck up,” he said.
Big Brother Naija housemate, Maria recently expressed her displeasure with her co-housemate, Angel, for flirting with Jackie B’s love interest, Michael.

You would recall that Maria in her intro-video, had stated that she’d make the guys in the house fall in love with her, so it may seem as though Angel is a big barrier in achieving that goal.
The Facebook user wrote ;
Who watched Maria’s interview where she said she’ll make all the guys in the house fall in love with her? My take is, she’s angry angel is shifting the attention of the guys to herself. Aunty Maria live and let live, don’t be like pere that brings down other people just to shine

He said he is currently in a medical facility where he is working through the debilitating anxiety.
The statement reads ;
Statement on My Withdrawal From The Big Brother House (Shine Ya Eye) House
I, Ololade Gbolahan Olajide (KayVee), would like to thank everyone for their love and support for the week I spent in the Big Brother House. I am overwhelmed by the love I have received from people within and outside Nigeria.
I must also thank my family and friends for their unwavering support while in the holding house for four (4) weeks.
Being in the Big Brother House has been an experience of a lifetime and has afforded me access to networks and the best supporters a photographer could ever have.
I underestimated the effect isolation would have on my mental health and integrating with the other housemates. I honestly wanted to stay till the 72nd day, and I believe that I have the personality, the empathy, and the game spirit to have made it to the end. But, certain events that happened in quick succession escalated the anxiety I felt and impacted my being the jovial, energetic, and fun person I am.
Since my withdrawal from the House, I have reconnected with my family, and I am currently in a medical facility, working through the debilitating anxiety I felt. I covet your love and prayers.
I look forward to publicly connecting with #KayVeeFC , whose love and commitment has been nothing short of astounding. Words will never be enough to convey my gratitude.
And to my team who have held it down on social media, hey, rockstars! With all my love and thanks, KayVee.
