My Bestfriend Stole My Man After Saying He’s Not Good Looking – BBNaija’s Doyin

Big Brother Naija Allstars housemate, Doyinsola David aka Doyin has revealed that her best friend stole her boyfriend.
According to Doyin, her best friend used to make fun of her boyfriend because he frequently limped when walking due to a damaged leg.
She claims that the girl would often belittle her and criticize his appearance before they secretly began dating.
The Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, who noted that she felt betrayed, said her ex-lover and former best friend are still together and they have a son.
In her words; “I have been betrayed before. I used to have a best friend, and we were very close. As a matter of fact, people used to refer to us as twins, because we even looked alike. At the time, I had a boyfriend, but she always discouraged me and told me that he was not good looking, because he had a bad leg and used to limp a little bit. She would always make jokes about his leg. At some point, I took her with me to visit him.
 
Somehow, they exchanged numbers and I did not find out. I was dating him and did not even realise that my best friend was also dating him. Till this day, they are still together. They actually have a son together, and I wish them well. But, at the same time, I felt betrayed. That really affected the way I trust people.”
Doyin however, added that she is single at the moment and though she is in the talking stage with some guys, there is nothing serious.
 
“I am very single. I am talking to a couple of people, but I am single. I am not in any relationship for now,” she said.

DJ Kaywise Confirms Girlfriend’s Allegations That His Twin Brother Was Involved In Plot To Allegedly Abduct Her

Popular Nigerian disc jockey, Ayorinde Kehinde Okiki aka Kaywise has taken to Instagram to confirm an allegation made by his girlfriend, Nenny B, that his twin brother and former employees attempted to abduct her.

Recall on Sunday, August 13, journalist Nenny B posted videos on Instagram alleging that her boyfriend’s ex-workers attempted to kidnap her.

In the video recorded from inside her home, the men were seen strategically positioned outside her house supposedly waiting for her to step out of her home.

According to her narration in the video, she was supposed to pick up a package she was expecting from a dispatch rider, thankfully her boyfriend Ayorinde Okiki aka Dj Kaywise was around at the time and offered to help pick the package.

The alleged perpetrators; Abraham Losa, Tobi Chukwu, and even Kaywise’s twin brother, were captured in the video, evidently disgruntled that their alleged plan fell through after Kaywise came out to pick up the package.

Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, August 17, Kaywise confirmed her allegations.

“It’s incredibly disheartening that my twin brother is involved in this situation. However, as a child of God, I must be honest with myself. As an eye witness to the saga I firmly believe that their visit to Nenny’s house had no good intention and would have put her life at risk.

If they were genuinely concerned about my well-being, they’ve had over the course of 3 years to engage with the police either by filing a missing person report or by initiating a potential kidnapping case.

Seeing that everyone was keeping quite about this slanderous allegations against Nenny, I provided her with evidence to clarify to the world that my family doesn’t have problem with her. And the blog is just a liar, cause I am sure none of my family members can say otherwise to my face.

Public Disclaimer: I have disassociated my self from the people in the cctv footage 3 years ago, they do not represent me or my company. Deal with them at your own risk. For any inquires send an email to my company. I humbly apologise to Nenny and her entire family plus well wishers for this mess and I promise this would never happen again.

I will be giving my full cooperation to the police to get to the root of everything.

Love

Kaywise”

BBNaija All Stars: Pere Met His Match – Whitemoney Reacts To Clash Between Adekunle And Pere

BBNaija All Stars housemate, Whitemoney has given his opinion on the recent clash between Pere and Adekunle.

Recall that Pere and Adekunle got into a heated argument about their Head of House games on Monday.

The comment from Pere did not sit well with Adekunle who also issued a warning to Pere that he did not fear him and should also be careful outside the house. The former Level Up star then shouted to his followers in Lagos Island to inform them that Pere had claimed he was a marked man.

Adekunle said: “I can also switch up and speak with an accent, you can’t come here and tell me that I’m marked because manigga, you do not effing wanna touch me! Okay? You people in Lagos Island, Pere Egbi said he’s going to touch me outside. You probably don’t know this, but I am not the one to eff with outside the house!”

It’s interesting to note that Whitemoney made no attempt to hide the fact that he looked forward to Adekunle and Pere’s fight. Later, he was overheard expressing how much he enjoyed it.

Whitemoney further disclosed that once he leaves the Big Brother house, he will make sure to record them fighting and also re-watch their previous fight in the house.

He said;

“I promise you if I go outside, I must make sure I look for that clip, I must download that clip, I love that clip, I actually like that clip, that’s my takeout.”
