Tacha shows how a once hated person can grow past negativity and start attracting likes and love — BBN’s Jackye’s boyfriend

Posted: 18 Jun 2020 01:00 AM PDT

Ex-Big Brother Naija reality star, Jackye Madu's boyfriend, Oluwasegun Kosemani popularly known as Koschmann Lami Lami, seems to have taken a subtle swipe at his ex in a recent post made on his IG page.

Lami took to his Instagram post to ponder how his ex's colleague, Tacha seems to have become a likable person despite the fact that she not necessarily loved a while back, especially during her time in the house.

He then went on to say one should shut their mind towards anyone as they don't know what phase of life the person is in.


His post comes a day after his ex, when she was asked during the BBNaija reunion show, if the feelings she had towards Tacha had always been a negative one and she admitted that for the first few weeks in the house, she tried to bond with Tacha but gave up on the idea because she didn't want to get angry.

Lami wrote,

Hmm who's liking the way tacha really showing how once hated person can grow past negativity & start attracting likes and love from one time nay sayers. Honestly dont shut your mind to anyone as you dont know what phase of life they might be in. Pay close attention you'd see that everyone got a good side that can supersede the opposite vibe #bbnaijareunion #learn #unlearn #relearn #giveeverythingtime

Ckay releases 7-minute short film, 'Alien

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT

On June 5, 2020, Nigerian singer and the man behind global anthem, 'Love Nwantiti (Remix)' released his self-directed seven-minute short film, 'Alien.' The film is also co-directed by Makhere Thekiso.

Nuerki Norte plays the alien love interest while Titilope Adesanya plays the human girlfriend.

During a 2019 interview with Pulse Nigeria, Ckay called the short film, "an African extra-terrestrial love story." It has now become clear that the film tells the story of a forbidden love affair with an alien love interest that seemingly begins as a one-night stand. Hence why 'DTF,' song about a one-night stand plays in the first act.

Despite CKay's character having a girlfriend, he fell in love with the alien woman, damning what anyone says to hell. Nuerki Norte plays the alien love interest while Titilope Adesanya plays the human girlfriend.

The cover art for Ckay The First is a part of that story. When you look closely, you see a spaceship and some weird things, but they all have a meaning. As a kid, CKay was into sci-fi and has some interesting theories about extra-terrestrial existence and aliens.

On his interest in universal science and extra-terrestrial life, CKay tells Pulse in 2019 that, "The universe is too large for humanity to be the only form of life in it. Let's say earth is like a speck of dust and this whole space (the studio) is like the size of the milky way galaxy. The Universe is too big to only be home to earthly life. There's also been like 100,000 UFO sightings between 1980 and 2001.

"So, I feel like these sightings only happen everywhere else asides Africa. So, are you going to tell me that aliens only want everywhere else asides Africa? So what if our African gods were aliens? Then I decided to interpret theory in this film from an African perspective and tell a love story with it."

Ckay's video for 'Love Nwantiti' has also hit one million views on YouTube.

All the times Naira Marley has made the news for the wrong reasons

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 05:00 AM PDT

The infamous Naira Marley has been in the news several times for the wrong reasons.

For many, it has become a matter of 'when' not 'if' the rapper will get into any sort of trouble. It's almost mid-2020 and the music star has dominated headlines after getting into trouble.

In this article, we look at all the times the rapper has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

1. His arrest over internet fraud
Naira Marley first made the headlines in March 2019 when he shared the now infamous post on his Instagram page in April to defend internet fraudsters. He received a lot of backlash from several celebrities including Simi and Ruggedman.

He went on to drop the record 'Am I A Yahoo Boy' which became a hit. In the early hours of Friday, May 10 of that year, he was arrested by men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for internet fraud.

His arraignment dominated the news with fans storming the court premises to catch a glimpse of the singer. He was remanded in prison and later got bailed after two appearances in court.

2. Alleged car theft
While many were still trying to get over the drama, the singer appeared not to be remorseful as he continued to give everyone including his fans reasons to worry.

Late December 2019, the singer was in the news again and this time around he was accused of car theft. It was reported that the singer and his brothers who were in a motorcade, stole a Toyota Camry and iPhone belonging to one Mr Adelekan Ademola.

He was absent from the court and went on to brag about the number of expensive cars he owned while ridiculing the claims that he stole a car.

3. Funke Akindele's party

With every new year, people change for the better and do away with certain habits they no longer find attractive. Well, not Naira Marley.

The rapper was involved in another controversy after he attended a private party organised by celebrity couple, Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz. The couple disobeyed the orders issued by the government by organising a house party after a total lockdown had been declared to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease.

Naira Marley was among the persons arraigned in the case but was later pardoned after writing an apology letter to the Lagos State Government.

4. The private jet palaver

In the latest controversy that followed Naira Marley, his drive-by music concert made the news after videos of people dancing together emerged on social media.

Many also wondered how the singer who resides in Lagos was able to fly to Abuja with restrictions on flights.

There have been lots of fall outs from the rapper's concert in Abuja. Jabi Lake car park where the show was held has been shut down while the operators of the private jet that flew the singer from Lagos to Abuja have been suspended which brought a back and forth between the rapper and the private jet operators.

BBNaija Pepper Dem Reunion Day 8: Ladies night doesn't always spell trouble

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 04:30 AM PDT

If you are looking to find some red pepper hot drama from episode eight's 'sisters only' zone, now might be the best time to retrace your steps.

An all new episode of Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Reunion show premiered on Monday, June 15. Here are the highlights.

While there were a number of drama inducing scenes, principle players chose diffusion in the stead of confrontation and the ones who had their engines fired up couldn't sustain the energy.

The episode as show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu disclosed, was dedicated to subjects around women lifting women and on former female housemates. Tacha, Avala, Ella, Mercy, Venita, Thelma, Jacyke and Kim Oprah were in attendance to address some of their infamous moments of distrust, clap backs and side talks. Check out the highlights:

Avala talks getting blocked by Ella

There appears to be no love lost between former housemates, Avala and Ella and the episode was prime time to hear them talk about their rift.

While Ella admitted that she was constantly misunderstood in the house, Avala picked up to share how Ella enjoyed complaining instead of putting in the work and that was a huge turn off for her. Another hit on the Avala and Ella union happened after the latter blocked the former on Instagram.

Thelma versus Tacha's infamous 'Fish saga'
Ebuka recalled the Big Brother fish argument between Thelma and Tacha. Thelma revealed she had to waddle through a good number of "fish girl" comments on social media upon leaving Big Brother's house.

For Thelma, requesting for fish in the house was for her a confrontation and not an attempt to draw attention to herself. She was genuinely upset that she didn't get some fish. Tacha surprisingly took the high road, refusing to weigh into the matter.

Kim said Ella said Tacha dealt with hygiene issues
Ella and Kim Oprah had a go at each other over their private turned public chat about Tacha's personal hygiene. Oprah revealed how Ella had the conversation with her and because she felt cornered , spilling the bad beans was her best bet.

What was supposed to have caused a volcanic eruption scale drama ended quite anti-climatically as Tacha once again took the road of silence upon accepting Ella's apology.

‘I won’t be using your useless airline again’ Naira Marley tells Execu-Jets

Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:30 AM PDT

Rapper Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, has responded to ExecuJets, who branded him and other members of his team "a bunch of useless people," for using the company's jet for an Abuja gig on Saturday, June 13, 2020.

Naira Marley has responded to the jet company for calling him useless.

ExecuJets has been suspended by the Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika for violating the ban on interstate travel in COVID-19 era, after airlifting Marley and his crew to Abuja for a drive-by concert that panned out differently.

"When I went through the manifest and I saw FASHOLA BABATUNDE I thought it was the Honorable Minister of Works going to Abuja with his men, so we decided to do the flight since it is a serving Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I didn't know it was a bunch of useless people," ExecuJet's CEO, Sam Iwuajoku, wrote in an apology letter to the Aviation Minister.

In his reaction, Naira Marley says he and his army of Marlians will be boycotting the airline henceforth for daring to tag them "useless."

"Do you know that over 20,000 Marlians travel with Executive Jet a month? We won't be using ur useless airline again for calling us useless. Thank God we didn't crash on that flight sha because we nearly did. BTW We didn't book the flight ourselves," Marley tweeted.

"Lool they asked for our names on the jet though and looooooooool ur pilot is a Marlian and everybody there is a Marlian too.. my name is Azeez Adeshina Fashola and my lil brother's name is Moshood Babatunde Fashola. And u was begging me to tag y'all."


Marley has also been retweeting invective from his fans aimed at ExecuJets.

Domestic violence and abuse is NO JOKE and not something to ever take lightly. Never has there ever been an incident of abuse in my home. He has never in his life lifted a finger to touch me and I have never so much as even pushed him.


"I believe with everything we peddle as human beings whether offline or online, we should have a bit of fear of God more so when speaking on things we know absolutely nothing of. I'm not sure where in the world such stories have started from, but I want to ensure everyone showing concern whether fake or real, that such has never and will never happen."

She went to announce that if the rumours of domestic violence in their relationship continues to spread, the necessary legal actions will be taken against the sponsors of such news.

"Further, we do not take such allegations of abuse lightly at all and if such persists then we will be jointly taking up action against the perpetrators of these disgusting rumors."

"To the beautiful young ones out there, never ever allow a man to lay his hands on you while you keep quiet. If you were ever to suffer such, ensure you SPEAK UP! With all that is going on in the world right now, we most certainly can not sit around and condone or encourage women to condone such!"

Chioma's latest post is coming a few days after the rumours of domestic violence in her relationship with Davido.
