BBNaija: Shine Ya Eye housemate, Beatrice, has become the first female housemate to get verified on Instagram, after Boma, who is the first housemate to get verified this season.
A quick glance at her page shows that she has been verified, with the ‘honorary’ blue tick present on her profile.
The official handler of her Instagram page shared a screenshot of her profile and wrote, “See who just get verified. Yes. Play me ‘Verified’ by @itslaycon.”
Meanwhile, viewers of the show have taken to social media to shower accolades on Beatrice for getting verified, when she has less than 100k followers, compared to some of her fellow housemates with more followers.
See some reactions below,
“Beatrice just got verified on IG. Underrate that girl at your own risk. I think she’s one of the biggest gamers this season,” @stan4life2 said.
@miciafu said, “Beatrice is verified on Instagram. Madam 1.1M is still pending. How ironic.”
@nessasedudzi wrote, “During yesterday’s argument, Rose bragged about her followers. Now Beatrice is verified and y’all are wailing because her fans are jubilating? I no get. If followers are worth celebrating, why shouldn’t verification be? I laugh in ‘verified is not a big deal’. Do it if it’s easy”
“Not Beatrice getting verified before your favorites,” @k__4KelZ tweeted.
@eghele_esther tweeted, “Beatrice is the first female to be verified. That’s nice.”
Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede has revealed that she doesn’t do giveaway online and prefers helping people physically.
The actress, in a recent Instagram Live chat with Saturday Beats, recounted how a woman who claimed to need money to start a business, blocked her on social media after she sent her some money.
According to the mum of one, she felt cheated and shocked after the incident.
In her words, “I don’t do giveaway online because I know how much I try to reach people physically. A woman once sent me a message that she needed to start egg business, and I sent some money.
“However, by the time I was sending her a message to let her know I had sent the money, she had blocked me. Apparently, she blocked me immediately she got the alert. It was mind-blowing. I was shocked and I felt swindled.”
Speaking further in the interview, the 37 years old actress stated that passion is not enough for someone to have a successful acting career.
She said, “The question is, why do you want to act? That is the first question I ask. When I ask them, they tell me, ‘I love acting’. You cannot come into acting just because you love it.
“Don’t come into acting as your last bus stop. There are other things you can do by the side. Eighteen years ago, acting just for the passion would have helped. But now, there are so many brilliant people in the industry, who have even been to acting school.”

You were your children’s angel here on earth!

I used to crack a joke with a friend and said, you see my dress, the whole thing how much does it cost because I have the permanent white up and down that I wear. If I don’t change it, you can’t know because if it fades, it fades to white. White can’t fade to black, it can only fade to white.”

Speaking further, Shettima appealed to the Government to ban the reality TV show and stop it from airing within the country.
His words,
“It’s a calamity as far as I am concerned; I have never believed in BBNaija and do not believe it is right because the show is an act of immorality. Such a show should not be encouraged.
“I have often said this show promotes immorality and the Nigerian government should please ban it, it should not be allowed to be aired in our country.
“You see, a lot of people watch to see immorality acts, those sex things displaying their nakedness, and they have made it look like a blue film (X-rated film), so, this must be discouraged.
“I urge true lovers of the country to join hands and call the attention of the government on the implication of this programme which must be discouraged,” he said.

Jackie B never told Maria she was upset. Maria noticed her mood and apologized to Jackie B but she still kept talking about the issue with other people. Maria even apologized twice Maria’s anger is very valid.
Another twitter user @Emeka Jonathan wrote ;
Jackie B has had so much resentment towards Maria for a long time.
This was bound to happen and I’m happy Maria cleared her.
Maria will be up for eviction but we are ready. But Jackie B, when you’re up, please pack noodles for your son
A video making rounds on social media shows the moment a bride refused to kiss her groom on their wedding day, despite his many attempts.
In what appears like the wedding reception, the groom moved in for a kiss but the bride declined and removed her face, to the surprise of guests.
After several unsuccessful attempts to kiss his new bride, the groom managed to rub his lips against hers.
However, it appears the bride was shy and didn’t want to kiss him in the presence of everyone because she wore a weak smile which suggests that she wasn’t comfortable.
The Hisbah board has finally reacted to the dress worn by Buhari’s daughter-in-law, Zahra Nasir Bayero, during her bridal shower that held recently.
Zahra, who is set to wed President Buhari’s son, Yusuf Buhari, on August 20, wore a figure-hugging white dress that was transparent around the shoulder and arm. She also did not wear a head covering as is usually done by Muslim women.
Her outfit caused a stir on social media as people questioned why the morality police in Northern Nigeria had not commented on her dressing, but are quick to “punish” poor Muslims if they dress in a manner considered unreligious.
Netizens called out Hisbah and accused them of being biased in their judgement; favouring the wealthy and punishing the poor masses.
Reacting to the allegation, Hisbah commander, Sheikh Harun Ibn Sin, told BBC that Zahra is not above the law and should lead by example if she wants her marriage to be blessed.
The Sheikh also condemned people circulating photos and videos of Zahra in the controversial dress on social media, adding that it is a huge crime to spread such images.

A Nigerian man has taken to his Facebook page to share an interesting story on how he married his wife regardless of the fact that a Medical test suggested she couldn’t have kids of her own.
The good news now is that the couple have now been blessed with a Child, less than 6 months into their wedding
Read his story below ;
Let me tell you a story about my marriage that will shock you.
About 6 months before my wife Favour Iyen and I got married, she started complaining of some pains in her abdomen.
At first, we ignored it but it became severe by the passing of each day, so I told her to go to the hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.
They ran some scans and guess what the results were?
The doctors said she does not Ovulate at all, that she had a problem with her womb and she cannot get pregnant ever!
There’s a name they called the condition (I can’t remember anymore)
This news left her devastated!
She was practically broken!
She called her mom and her elder sister to inform them about the heart-wrenching news, they too were devastated!
They told her not to inform me about it yet, because they were scared I would call-off the wedding.
I remember she came to me with the results that day, covered in tears, eyes swollen from excessive crying, still sobbing like a baby, she held my hands and said “Baby, I’m sorry, the doctor said I can’t ever give you a child”
What??? I felt a gripping cold!
She burst into another crying session, I could see the fear in her eyes, she too felt I was going to call everything off!
Right there and then, I held her hands, I couldn’t bear to see her in such pains, I hugged her and whispered to her ears
“I didn’t decide to marry you primarily because of children, I’m marrying you because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, if we can’t bear children, we will adopt”
She couldn’t believe what she just heard, she was astonished, like she stood there for a while and cried some more, this time, tears of joy, I guess.
Omo, truth be told, that has to be one of the toughest decision I’ve had to make in split seconds in my entire life. TRUE LOVE IS A POWERFUL FORCE.
I couldn’t even tell any of my family members about this, not even my mum. I didn’t want to be discouraged by anyone.
Even when she told her family that she had informed me about it and I said I’m proceeding with the wedding plans, they were shocked! They couldn’t believe it.
6 months later, we got married against all odds.
I had already come to terms with the fact that we won’t be able to bear a child of our own.
Honestly, I wasn’t bothered.
Barely a month into our marriage, i would walk into the sitting room or bedroom and catch my wife crying profusely, this happened continuously on several occasions. When I ask to know what’s wrong, she’d say it’s frustrating to know she won’t be able to bear a child.
I would encourage her and tell her to cheer up, heck! I wasn’t complaining na.
Sometimes, I even got upset because it breaks my heart to see her cry.
Fast forward to 3 months into our marriage. One day her mom was to visit us, and she went to the park to pick her up.
When she got back, she handed me an envelope, and told me to open it.
I innocently opened it and I wouldn’t believe what I would see next. It was a pregnancy test result! My wife was pregnant!!!
Omo, I wan mad! Like, I screamed!!! I can’t count how many times I kissed her impulsively. Omo, I was teary! She cried too.
My mother in-law too was so happy.
9 months later, on the same week of my birthday, my wife delivered the most adorable baby I would ever hold in my arms.
It was surreal, like a dream!
