I Went To Have Fun On BBNaija, Not Win N120m – Tolanibaj Says

Nigerian reality TV star, Tolanibaj, has said she went on the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All-Stars edition to have fun, and not because she wanted to win the N120 million cash prize.

The reality TV star was a participant in the ongoing BBNaija All-Stars show.

She was evicted from the show on August 27, alongside Frodd, after receiving the lowest number of votes.

Following her eviction, Tolanibaj received a lot of backlash over her conduct on the show.

She was criticised for fighting over Neo, a fellow contestant, who consistently denied their relationship and maintained that they were just friends.

She was also slammed for pushing for a relationship with Neo.

In a recently released vlog on her YouTube channel, Tolanibaj said she is used to being criticised and judged.

She also said she had already earned the title of  “queen of drags” before she entered the Big Brother house.

She added that she was not on the show to win the money, but just to have fun.

“I am used to getting dragged. Before I entered the house, I was queen of drags. I came out of Big Brother show, did I expect to be liked? The game that I played even backfired,” she said.

“I did not go there to win the money. If you remember on day one when they asked, I said no pressure… I am just here to have fun.”

Since her eviction, Tolanibaj has not granted the press any interview.

While explaining the reason for not engaging with the press, she said “I did not feel the need to grant anyone access to me and I wanted to be selfish with my time”.

Why I Cannot Venture Into Acting — Singer, Terry G Speaks

Gabriel Oche Amanyi, the Nigerian music star, who is fondly known as Terry G has revealed the reason why he cannot venture into the world of make-believe.

In a chat with Daily Trust, the Apako master stated that he would have to be paid a huge sum of money before he features in a movie.

Narrating an experience he had last on a movie set, the singer noted that he ran from the movie location and had to be begged before he returned to finish the project.

Terry G said, “If you see me in any movie it means that they forced me. I do not have time for that stress. It is not my calling. The one I did last I ran away from the set. They had to beg me a lot before I went back to finish the shoot. It is stressful and I would only act if they pay me a lot of money.

“I would perform for like two hours on stage and collect my millions but when it comes to acting I would spend days on set. If care is not taken they would even know the amount of boxer shorts you brought to the set.”

BBNaija All Stars: CeeC Is Not Who People Think She Is, Says Omashola

Omashola Oburoh, the BBNaija guest housemate, who is also known as Sholzy, has talked about CeeC.

He provided an insightful analysis of CeeC’s personality, challenging the prevailing public perception of her.

 

He said CeeC’s true nature differs significantly from the image people have of her, stressing that the narrative about her outside the House doesn’t accurately represent her real, humorous, playful, and delightful character.

Sholzy shared these thoughts during his diary session, explaining why he chose CeeC as one of his best friends to share the HOH lounge with him.

He revealed that he conducted thorough research on the housemates before entering the show but has since realized that CeeC is a person who has been unfairly judged based on her outward appearance.

He said: “I picked CeeC because; I’ve not really met her in the past, right?! I have a different mindset about her from what I’ve heard outside.

“Of course when I knew I was coming here, I had to do a little bit of research about different housemates. And CeeC was one person I was really ‘worried’ about in terms of not having a connection. And you know Omashola, I don’t want people crossing my path because we’ll end up fighting.

“But she’s one person I was really. Really worried about it. But again, don’t judge a book by its cover. Since I’ve been in this house, she’s actually one person I’ve connected with conversation-wise, she’s playful; it’s; like two different persons.

“You know, it’s not like what I heard is what I’m seeing. We could communicate with people; we could literally communicate.

“So, I feel like, if I’m going to be up there, I want to be with people I could literally have fun and communicate with. And my communication is not like I want to sit down and have a therapy session with you, no! I’m a funny guy! I want to laugh, I want to have fun. I want you to be happy. I want people around me to be smiling. And since I stepped into this house, that’s what she’s been doing, smiling.”

G.O.A.T Debate: Why I Prefer Ronaldo To Messi – Davido Speaks

David Adeleke, the world-renowned Nigerian afrobeats singer, who is professionally known as Davido has cited ‘discipline’ as the reason he prefers Cristiano Ronaldo to Lionel Messi in the G.O.A.T debate.

The 30-year-old musician made this known on the sidelines of the Professional Footballers Association awards.

Recall Davido thrilled the audience at the ceremony to a medley of his songs when the awards marked its 50th anniversary.

Asked by GOAL about his thoughts on the greatest footballer of all time debate between Ronaldo and Messi, the singer said, “Cristiano for me, he is very, very disciplined.

“You know, and to have that kind of success and to be so disciplined at the same time is something I’ve always admired about him.

“I like both of them. But, I personally, I’m a Ronaldo guy.”

Ronaldo recently stated that the rivalry with Messi is over despite the rave it enjoyed among football fans.

He said, “I don’t see things like that; the rivalry is over. It was a healthy rivalry, and the spectators liked it a lot.

He said, “Whoever likes Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have to hate Messi and vice versa, because they are both very good. We’ve done well; we have changed the history of football, and we’ll keep on doing it. We are respected all over the world; that’s the most important thing.

“He makes his way; I make mine, even if we’re playing outside Europe. From what I’ve seen, he has done well, and so have I. It’s about continuing; the legacy continues.

“I’ve said there’s no rivalry. We’ve shared the stage for 15 years, and we ended up being—I wouldn’t say friends—because I never dined with him. We are professional colleagues, and we respect each other.”

Why I Insulted Chichi During BBNaija Reunion – Phyna

Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season seven winner, Phyna has revealed why she attacked former housemate, Chichi.
Recall that during a heated argument at this year’s BBNaija reunion, Phyna accused Chichi of abandoning her husband and children.
Phyna also alleged that Chichi was exploiting the loss of her parents as a strategy to gain sympathy and win the season seven show.
Revisiting the feud in a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, the reality star said “you cannot be body-shaming me” and go scot-free.
In the interview, Phyna said she got infuriated because Chichi allegedly called her “unpleasant names”.
She also said Chichi sued her “for N100 million for libel and defamation of character” — two days after the reunion.
 
“The way I attacked her, they should have known she said something, that part was mute. Because the previous day, she body-shamed me, she called me shapeless and saggy boobs,” she said.
“That is why I had to use the word for her that she would record in her heart and brain. Because you cannot be body-shaming me that have a natural body, I had to remind her that there are stuff.
 
“You called me an abortionist, I reminded you that you have two kids that you abandoned. Two days later, she is suing me in court for N100 million for libel and defamation of character.
 
“I called my lawyer that if we did not reply to the lawsuit, what would happen? My lawyer said if we did not reply within 7 days, she could charge me in court. The next day I bought a suit to prepare for court. I do not like trouble but I love trouble.”

BBNaija All Stars: Angel, Ilebaye Prank Adekunle With Love Letter From CeeC

Angel Smith and Ilebaye, the Big Brother Naija All Stars housemates, have pranked colleague, Adekunle with a love letter from CeeC.

 

The duo plotted to prank Adekunle who is in a relationship with Venita with the aim of upsetting the latter.

Angel: “I said let me prank them, so I now wrote a love letter to Adekunle so that they would think it is CeeC [sic]. I spread CeeC’s perfume on the letter.

Ilebaye: “Adekunle would not really take it big. He would just let it slide.”

Angel: “I need Venita to be the first person to see the letter.”

Ilebaye: “That’s what I am saying. Adekunle is just going to take it slightly. He might just read it and let it go. But if she [Venita] is the one [to see it first], she would panic.”

Angel inserted the letter in Adekunle’s jacket, but unfortunately for them, he saw it before Venita did.

Adekunle has yet to discuss it with Venita at the time of writing this report.
