Big Brother Naija housemate Faith has revealed that he would not kiss fellow housemates Imisi and Isabella, even for a prize of 80 million Naira.
He stated this during a conversation with fellow housemates, Mide, Kulture, Jason Jae, Joanna, and Rooboy, on Sunday.
According to him, Imisi and Isabella are not at his level.
Faith: “If you give me N80 million, I will not kiss Isabella.”
Jason: “So why are you here? If you had said N1 million, I would have believed you.”
Faith: “I am here for the experience, not the money.”
Jason: “If they give you N80 million, you won’t kiss Imisi?”
Faith; “I will not…Imisi is not on my level.”
Faith and Imisi have been involved in a lot of altercations since the show started. The duo were initially close but fell out after Faith bluntly rejected Imisi’s romantic interest in him.
Isabella, who is Imisi’s close friend, appeared to have inherited the beef between the two of them.
Seyi Shay, the Nigerian singer and songwriter, has spoken about how the de@th of her mentor, Sound Sultan, affected her career.
She revealed that after Sound Sultan passed away in 2021, she lost the zeal to continue music.
Shay further explained that she became pregnant with her daughter around the same period, which also encouraged her to embark on a break due to the “toxic” nature of the music industry.
“During the filming of Nigerian Idol, my mentor, also my best friend, who is like a father figure to me, and also the person who brought me to the Nigerian music industry, died. He passed away; Sound Sultan,” Seyi Shay recalls in an interview with TVC.
“When I first came to Nigeria, I was living with him and his wife in FESTAC for a year. He was the one who co-signed me and introduced me to everybody in the industry to make sure that those who were his people look out for me.
“So, when he passed away, it was really hard for me to complete the filming but I made it to the end. What hurt the most is that I didn’t get to see him before he passed away. I was supposed to fly to see him in New York that weekend when we had a break. He asked me to bring him something specifically. It just torn me apart. I felt like I didn’t have the will to continue to do music without Sound Sultan, my peace of mind, and my mental health. So, I decided to go on a little break.
“Also, during that period, I got pregnant and I told myself there’s no way I’m going to have my child in the toxic music industry that I’m in and under the scrutiny that I was constantly under. So, I just thought I should take a break.”
Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Ifeyinwa Okafor, popularly known as Ivatar, has reflected on her time in the house, revealing that fans frequently misunderstood her personality because of her outward appearance.
In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, Ivatar explained that many viewers anticipated more drama from her simply because of her tattoos and overall look.
“People have said that they expected more drama from me because of how I look, but I am naturally a very calm person. From the start, I made it clear that the stereotype people have about tattooed individuals doesn’t define me.
“I’m classy and intentional. Of course, I have a fun, crazy side, but only those I’m comfortable with will ever see that. I’m also a mother to an 18-year-old, so I can’t be reckless just to entertain anyone,” she said.
The recently evicted housemate also addressed speculations about a supposed relationship with fellow housemate Kaybobo.
She dismissed the claims as false, noting that a viral photo suggesting they kissed was digitally altered.
“I was shocked when I saw that picture. It never happened. Kaybobo and I are just friends. We connect because we share similar interests, but there is nothing romantic between us,” she clarified.
Ivatar also reflected on her strained relationship with her former close ally, Mensan, before her eviction.
She admitted that while they bonded over shared experiences, she may have handled their friendship differently.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have pulled him into my corner because I felt he was lonely, like I was. We shared some fun moments, but I believe in setting boundaries, and I’ll always stick to that,” she said.
Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Cuppy has described her sister Temi Otedola’s wedding to singer Mr. Eazi as the “wedding of the century.”
In a post shared on X, DJ Cuppy asked anyone with a contrary opinion to go and “argue with their chat group.”
Temi and Mr Eazi have been blowing the minds of many Nigerians with their wedding photos which they have continued to release in batches.
The couple had their talk of the town, yet private, wedding in Dubai, Monaco and Iceland.
Social commentator and good governance advocate Bello Galadanci, popularly known as Dan Bello, has stirred controversy after criticizing Chef Hilda Baci’s recent Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice.
Dan Bello described the Guinness record feet that drew over 20,000 audience as a distraction from Nigeria’s pressing development challenges.
Writing on his X handle, he mocked the event, saying Nigeria has “finally found its destiny, not in science, not in technology, but in a steaming pot of Guinness-certified rice.”
He argued that while other nations were making strides in artificial intelligence, space technology, and infrastructure, Nigerians were busy celebrating a giant pot of rice.
He also accused the government of being unhappy, not because of the cooking itself, but because the food was freely given to ordinary citizens.
“Hunger is the only local content Nigeria has perfected,” he wrote in a satirical tone.
His remarks immediately triggered mixed reactions online.
Chioma Eze, an X user, defended Hilda Baci, saying: “The Guinness record attempt does not stop Nigeria from developing in science or technology. She’s a chef, doing her thing, just like entertainers or athletes do worldwide.”
Another user, Musa Ibrahim, argued that Nigerians were too quick to criticize: “Hilda is just one person out of over 200 million doing what she loves. Many who attended were not poor—they were fans, friends, and even celebrities supporting her.”
But others sided with Dan Bello, questioning the priorities of young Nigerians. A commentator, Aisha Suleiman, said: “Over 20,000 gathered for rice, some till 5 a.m., but cannot come out to demand good governance or protest killings and kidnappings in the country.”
Similarly, Kingsley Adeyemi described the hype as overrated: “Nigeria needs real progress like infrastructure, not cooking stunts. Hunger won’t end with a big pot of rice.”
The debate continues online between those who see Baci’s effort as an inspiring moment and those who view it as a symbol of misplaced priorities in a struggling nation.
An emotional moment of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola at the Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral in Reykjavík, Iceland, during the wedding of his daughter Temi to Afrobeat star Tosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr. Eazi, has gone viral online.

The Iceland wedding was the grand finale of a three-part celebration that began with a private civil ceremony in Monaco and a traditional wedding in Dubai.
The event drew a star-studded guest list, including family friends and business moguls.
Temi looked beautiful in a custom Fendi gown, while Mr Eazi donned Saint Laurent. The celebrations continued with a reception featuring a performance by John Legend, an award-winning singer.
Jada Pollock, Wizkid’s manager and partner, has emphasized that family takes priority over societal expectations.
The mother of three shared on her Instagram story that her main concern is raising her children and keeping her relationship healthy.
She reflected on attending a friend’s wedding, where she caught the bouquet, a moment that confirms she is still unmarried.
Pollock said that life has no fixed timeline and everyone’s path unfolds in its own time.
She said these experiences remind her that personal priorities, like family and love, matter more than following public pressure or online opinions.
She said building a strong family and nurturing meaningful relationships remain at the centre of her life, regardless of societal judgments.
She wrote: “And then I caught the bouquet yesterday! Society and the internet often push certain narratives, but raising my kids and nurturing a balanced, healthy relationship has always been my priority.
“Watching one of my closest friends get married yesterday was truly beautiful; it reminded me that there are no time limits in life. Our hearts know when the time is right, and nothing is predetermined – it’s all about God’s timing”.
