Nollywood actor, Sam Nnabuike has taken to social media to criticize Igbo mothers who are in the habit of telling their daughters to bring wealthy suitors home.
According to the actor, this must stop because it is preventing ladies from investigating the source of a man’s wealth before accepting to marry them.
He wrote,
“This is in no way to discredit the millions of many hard-working and illustrious Igbo women scattered on the surface of this earth, but then a critical and holistic approach has to be taken to educate the Igbo girl child.
In most Igbo homes, mothers sternly push the narratives & are too keen on the specification of whom their daughters are allowed to date or bring back home as a suitor. Igbo mothers if need be will daily echo in their daughter’s ears how they must bring home a stinkingly wealthy man, And disappointingly, a lot of them are not concerned or are interested in investigating the source of the man’s wealth. This must stop.”

Disqualified BBNaija housemate and actress, Erica Nlewedin has opened up about her relationship with her fellow housemate, Vee.
Erica made appearance on the BBNaija lockdown reunion show on Monday night and she addressed some of the issues she had with her colleagues before her disqualification.
Speaking about Vee, the self-acclaimed “Star Girl” stated that she doesn’t know her because they didn’t bond in the house. According to her, she got a lot of negative energy from Vee during her stay in the house so they don’t have anything to talk about.
When Ebuka tried to correct her statement about not knowing Vee at all since they stayed in the same house for months, Erica insisted that she doesn’t know her.
She added that she went for the reality TV show to promote her show-biz career and not to make friends.
One of the highlight of last nights episode of the Big Brother Naija Reunion show was when Erica and Wathoni settled their differences and hugged each other.
The show started with the disqualified housemate Erica and Wathoni addressing their issue outside the Big Brother House. Erica stated that although they weren’t friends in the house, Wathoni was friendly towards her and even hugged her when she got disqualified.
Erica however noted that she never considered being friends with Wathoni outside the house because she watched videos of wathoni saying negative things about her.
Wathoni in response stated that the only negative thing she ever said about Erica was that “she did bad things with Kiddwaya under the sheet”, adding that she had no reason to hate Erica.
After going back and forth on he issue the duo eventually apologized to each other, and even gave each other a warm embrace to show that they are now cool.
Big Brother Naija star, Wathoni has stirred reactions after she declared that billionaire son, Kiddwaya cannot afford her.
Last night’s episode of the Big Brother Naija Reunion show started with Wathoni and Erica addressing their strained relationship outside the Big Brother Naija house.
The mother of one stated that she has nothing against Erica but she has constantly received negative energy from Erica since she left the house. According to her, there was a Kidd situation and she sensed that must have been the reason for the “bad blood”.
Erica however told Wathoni that the situation was only in her head, then in response Wathoni stated that the billionaire son, Kiddwaya cannot afford her.
An Instagram user @maleeka_berry wrote, “All the girls are feeling like Nicki Minaj after the show o 😢… which one is Kidd can’t afford you Hanty Wathoni 😂😂😂”.
@styledbydammy, “Wathoni will be making sense and the next thing she will just say nonsense”.

The Monday night episode of the BBNaija lockdown reunion was different from what has been witnessed in the last few days.
In what seemed like more of a reconciliation episode, we saw Wathoni and Erica settle their differences and it was a wonderful moment on the show.
The show host, Ebuka, then used the opportunity to address fans who always spew hate and take their love for their favorite housemate to a toxic level.
According to Ebuka, BBNaija offers a lot better than that narrative and it would be nice to see the conversation change.
If you guys can explain this fan situation thing to me, I would really appreciate it.
I think I say this every season, BBNaija is a great show which is why it is this popular, I understand the love and passion fans have for the housemates but I will never understand why we need to get to the point where HATE is what sort of almost seem as the theme of this show. It breaks my heart because there is so much that can come out of this show. People love the show, people love to watch the show but I think it’s a bit of a disservice to what these housemates bring to the show when you see comments like “Big Brother fans are so toxic.”
Because I think we are bigger than that and It will be nice to see the conversation change.

According to him, before the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) attempt to silence or frustrate his wife they should be ready for him.
In his words,
“Before you attempt to silence her or frustrate her, kindly be ready for me. What your association has shown is pure misplaced priorities and dereliction of duties. I respect all elders without fear because no human being is God. It’s a pain to the heart knowing wisdom is required but folly prevails. She is my soul mate and the moment you are breaking her then be ready to break me”.

A snippet of what to expect today is already trending online and it clearly shows Erica lampooning Laycon as she aired her thoughts about the state of the friendship she and Laycon used to have.
Erica said in the video ;
I think He’s just a snake and he’s just going to make people pity him as usual.
It’s not going to be genuine so there’s no relevance, We only knew each other for like two months, in my 27 years, we only knew each other for two months so there is no point.
I will never trust any word that will come out of his mouth.
As I look at him i still feel very stupid for saying he is my best friend and he had my back in the house.

Reality TV star, Abiri Oluwabusayomi popularly known as Khloe, has reacted to TAMPAN leadership’s threat to work against actress, Nkechi Blessing, in the entertainment industry.
It was earlier reported that the leadership of the Theatre Arts & Movie Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) reached a decision to blacklist Nkechi Blessing over her dispute with some of her colleagues on social media during Baba Ijesha rape saga.

According to her, Nkechi Blessing does not need the association to be successful.

Mr Macaroni, who is also a human right activist, has now taken to Twitter to share his thought about the matter.
The Instagram comedian wondered why the association waited till after Baba Ijesha was granted bail before convening to suspend the actress.
He tweeted,
“TAMPAN suspends lyabo Ojo. Not only did they suspend her, but there was also a full press conference stating a million and one things she did wrong. Interesting how this is happening only after Baba Ijesha was granted bail. Really interesting”.
Nkechi Sunday Blessing has yet again reacted to the trending video on social media which had Jide Kosoko threatening to use the association he heads, TAMPAN to work against her.
According to Nkechi, Mr. Kosoko has made a threat to her life and he must be ready for what he’s started.
Her post reads ;
Mr Jide Kosoko just made a public threat to my life..Sir I hope you are ready for what you started T you will work against me? On what offense? You will explain to the world when I get una time for now 120 million on my mind!!!

Neo is my first cousin, his father and my father are brothers, so we are quite close
This boy is stressing my life.
I am not saying you can’t have your relationship, you can have your relationship.
But you haven’t done anything since you came out the house.
The people that came out from the same set, they don’t have their relationship as their careers.
You have done nothing, because your girlfriend won’t let you?

A 45-year-old man, simply identified as Christopher, has been arrested for allegedly beating his wife to death over her refusal to give him N2000 at their home located at No. 1, Agbontaen Street beside Ebvareke Secondary School, off Agboniro Street, Uselu, Benin, Edo State capital.
Augustine, who is the eldest child of the couple, explained that his father, who is a chainsmoker and drunk, physically assaults his mom, a fashion items dealer, at the slightest provocation.
According to Augustine, on the day of the incident which took place on Saturday, June 26, his father called their mother on phone to request for N2,000 loan. However, following her failure to send the money, he pounced on her when he returned home.
He said,
“Following the call, my father came home at about 9pm and started beating her and accused her of always embarrassing him each time he requested for money.
After the beating, I tried to give my mother paracetamol and water she asked for when my father took the water and drug from me and threw them away.
It was after then she went out to pour water on her body and later lied down outside. My father locked us (children) inside the room and went out to pounce on her again where she was lying down outisde, already weak from the initial beating.
That was when neighbours came and rushed her to two different hospitals where she was pronounced dead on arrival.”
A professional online Beggar has berated Actress Nancy Iheme for having the audacity to suggest an easy way the beggar can stop begging.
The Beggar had taken to the comment section to solicit funds to allegedly treat her child who is dying of typhoid.
Nancy then advised the beggar to sell off the phone she used to come online, and then use the proceeds to treat the dying child.
The beggar was probably disgusted by that comment and he/she asked the Actress to shut up and proceeded to call her a derogatory name.
The conversation is quoted below ;
Beggar – Am heart broken, my baby is dying of typhoid malaria, I don’t have money to treat him, please help me to buy my baby medicine, things are very hard for me been a single mother, I pray you will not know poverty ijn.
Iheme – sell the phone you’re using to treat your child
Beggar – @ihemenancy is better u shut ur dirty mouth up than saying this transh. Olosho
Iheme – Okay let me shut up my own mouth, come and collect money
