BBNaija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has taken to his Twitter page to refute allegations thrown at him by Tacha's fans.

Fans of the controversial housemate have taken to Twitter to slam Ebuka after their fave was issued a second strike for being rude and disrespectful to authority.

Before issuing the strike, Biggie played some clips of her being rude. In some of the clips, she deliberately wasted time before going into the diary room when summoned.


In another clip, she rudely replied Ebuka when he asked her the give the reason for declining to share the Head of House with Seyi when he offered. She said under her breath "Y has two patterns and one tail."

Recall that some time ago, some Nigerians felt Ebuka called Tacha out by insisting she defined the characteristics of a winner even when it was obvious she didn't know how to.

After it was obvious she was ignorant on the subject, he moved to talk to other housemates but not until after he told her he was disappointed in her.

Ebuka has now finally broken his silence on the matter as he has informed his 'attackers' that he doesn't call the shots or make the decisions when it comes to running the BBNaija show and that he is only an employee.

Tacha has received two strikes already. The 3rd strike would mean instant disqualification.

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 11:30 PM PDT


Gernot Rohr, the head coach of Super Eagles has said it's very hard for him to leave Nigeria because he is loved by Nigerians.

But the German who recently led the Eagles to a third-place finish at last month's Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt admitted that there's a section of Nigerians from whom he "doesn't feel this love."

The 66-year-old also made claims that "one category" of people didn't show him love especially after the AFCON.

"We have difference between Francophone countries and Anglophone countries but I didn't have any problem adapting (in Nigeria) because I was welcomed by everybody, not only in the team but the staff, and also from Nigerians," he said in a recent interview.

"When I go out, I feel this love, I feel it everywhere. The only people I don't feel this love from, there is only one category especially after the AFCON, and you know who it is. But everywhere, if it is here or in other places, I feel this love, this is a reason for me, which makes it very hard to leave because there is human relationship which is important also.

Mike, while consoling Khafi after the eviction show, told her to stop crying over Gedoni and his last comment in the house.

Gedoni had said "Thank you" immediately Ebuka mentioned his name for eviction. This did not go down well with Khafi.

Complaining to Mike as he consoled her, Khafi said she was confused as to why Gedoni said that.


But Mike, in consoling her, said Gedoni's reaction was because he was stressed.

Mike said: "I understand Gedoni's reaction, he was stressed. He was taking care of himself, you, his tasks, his brand, his reputation, all at the same time. You did well Khafi, you should be proud."

Ubi Franklin shares encounter with someone he helped in 2018

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:00 AM PDT


Ubi Franklin shared the highlight of his encounter with someone he helped out in 2018, after being approached for money because the man's mother was sick.

The music executive stated that he didn't know the man from anywhere and was also not satisfied with his answer on how he got his number at that time. He however went on to give him the money he asked for before getting a shocking encounter in 2019.

Ubi said he was at the club on Friday night when the man who got a turnaround after the 2018 exchange walked up to him and introduced himself.

He wrote;

Sometime in July, 2018, I recieved a call from a certain guy notifying me that his mum was ill and needed help with her hospital bills. Firstly, i ask him how he got my phone number since i did not know him and he said someone gave it to him.

Even though I was not too satisfied with his response, i understood the feeling of not having money, yet a loved one( as in this case, his mum) is critically ill. Bearing this in mind, I requested for his account number, sent him money and that was it.

Last night a guy walked up to me in the club and asked if I knew him, I said no and he reminded me about the favour I had done him and his mum.

Now the main story is; this guy was obviously going through a hard time during the period he contacted me ealier, but he is now 'back on his feet' and doing well. Interestingly, he has offered me something major which I will share later.

GRATITUDE IS A MUST.

Georgina Onuoha blasts Slay Queens and Slay Thieves

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:30 AM PDT


Georgina Onuoha has shared her prayer for Slay Queens and Slay Thieves after the  arrest of 77 Nigerians by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The Nollywood actress turned Nurse earlier took a swipe at Nigerian celebrities who take pride in celebrating people with questionable source of wealth.


She also dragged Slay Queens who display so much luxury on Instagram without any known source of income.



In a new post she shared, Georgina Onuoha stated that the FBI keeps tabs on all posts shared by Slay Queens and Slay Thieves on social media.

The mother of two also revealed other channels the FBI gathers its information as she encouraged hardworking Nigerians in the country and in diaspora.

Lamenting over the moral decadence in the country, Georgina stated that people who derive joy in defrauding innocent people will also be served same when apprehended.

She wrote;

Life on the fast lane.

Note to all the Slay Queens/Slay thieves: As you display your ill gotten wealth on social media, just remember that Uncle FBI is keeping a tab on you. So please continue ??. As you fly around Europe and the globe, just remember they The the information of your grant grandma village is with the US government. Your next door neighbor even in your village might just be an under cover agent tracking you. So please continue and we pray they arrest you all and house clean our society.

To every hand working man or woman in Nigeria and diaspora, you labor is valid. Keep doing your best.. There is dignity in hard labor. You can go to bed at night and sleep well.

I weep for the moral depression consuming our society. The quest to show off, flaunt childish nonsense and impress miscreants leads you no where other than shame and pain.

To all the Slay Queens and Slay thieves living beyond tyour means and putting our impressionable youths under pressure, your day of reckoning is at hand. Interpol is watching. Continue your shameless thievery. We now live in a society where mothers don't question their sons and daughters about their sudden wealth, a society where women don't ask their spouses what they do?

Children can't speak to the conscience of their parents, pastors preach prosperity and not salvation from their pulpit, Politicians embezzle funds meant to develop their communities and uplift their next generation, a society where teenage girls marry their ancestors because of riches. The moral decadence ravaging our country is palpable.

If your joy is to take a clandestine approach to defraud innocent people, so shall clandestine measures be used to apprehend you. God bless all giving their utmost best to live a decent life. Integrity over money any day.

Ubi Franklin – Alex Ekubo has apologized to me
Ubi Franklin who got enmeshed in an Instagram stand-off with Alex Ekubo days ago, has revealed that the Nollywood actor apologized to him.

Ubi had taken to his IG to write: "Stop allowing motivational speakers to drive you into a place of delusion and intense confusion. Not everyone will be an entrepreneur."

This, of course, got Alex to comment saying; "Ubi, you are the pilot of the flight. Awon inspire to desire, to perspire."

However while followers are still waiting to see how the brewing feud will end, the MMMG boss said he has moved on from that as Alex has apologized.

"He (Ekubo) was only joking, but I didn't get the joke. He has already sent a message to apologise. It really wasn't that serious. Whenever I go for speaking engagements, I always let people know that entrepreneurship is not easy. Because we don't post our failures online doesn't mean that a lot of us don't fail.

"So, for me, I didn't get his joke but he has already sent me a message, and I don't have any issue with him. When you have a friend that you see all the time and things like that come from him, you would expect him to have called you and you both would discuss it. I honestly didn't know it was a joke until he sent me a message that he regretted doing that. Before we knew it, everybody had already seen the post, but he had already apologised, so it is really not an issue" Ubi Franklin told Saturday Beats.
