It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet so many other people with different personalities. Being in close proximity with the other housemates taught me how to coexist and work with others while showcasing myself at the same time.

"The love from the fans has been amazing and has kept me going strong. The Big Brother Naija platform is one of the biggest platforms in Nigeria to showcase real talent and I am really grateful that I got this opportunity. I have no regrets. I feel that every single week I spent in the Big Brother House; I tried to showcase myself and be as real as possible.

"I feel really fulfilled with the time I spent there. I plan to capitalise on all the love and awareness the public has shown me in the last few months. Going forward, I plan to continue to showcase my dance and entertainment skills by putting quality contents out there for people to enjoy. I plan to go fully into the entertainment industry and explore acting, modelling, brand influencing, etc. I am always open to new opportunities to showcase Praise to the world."


Sharing his best moments on the show, Praise said being the only housemate to have won Betway games twice was a personal achievement for him.

When asked if he was surprised by his eviction, Praise said: "No, I wasn't really shocked when I left the house. Every single day was a blessing and I had the mindset that anyone could be evicted at any time. I was really surprised and touched by all the love fans have shown me outside the house."

Spare parts dealer set to divorce wife as plumber removes 23 used condoms blocking their toilet

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 11:00 PM PDT

A Nigerian man is reportedly set to divorce his wife he suspects of infidelity after a plumber pulled out 23 used condoms which have been blocking the toilet of his house built barely a year ago.

If you have been having difficulty flushing your toilet, you might want to figure out what's blocking it; the manhole might not necessarily be full.

A concerned young man who claimed the man is his uncle shared the story and attached some photos of recently used condoms which he claimed contained semen.

According to him, his uncle and wife have been married for two years with one daughter and they celebrated their wedding anniversary recently.

He added that his uncle became speechless at the sight of the discovery because he is not always at home and he does not use a condom on his wife.

"Hello, house don't mind my grammar pls!

"There's a problem in the house! We have been having a problem with our toilet for a while now but we received a shock after finding out what the problem is….

"My uncle is 44 and his wife is 34 with 1 kid (girl) they just celebrated 2 years anniversary. My uncle spends most of the time at the shop. He sells spare parts and automobile; he never knew and will never believe that his wife brings another man home (who she has once introduced to me as his cousin) … FastFWD

"Two weeks now we have been finding it hard to flush the toilet because the water is moving …. My uncle called a plumber yesterday, the plumber had to call my uncle to show him what the problem is... To our surprise, its a condom, and one of them is still fresh with some sperm inside…

"My uncle was surprised because he said he never used it on her since they got married … He just built the house which is not even up to 1year… Now their marriage is on the line of collapsing, I like the wife very well because she is kind and generous she buys me the latest things like phones, shoes, shirts… I don't know how to contribute to the issues because I am just a boy boy," he wrote on Nairaland.

"Before I went to [Los Angeles] to do collaborations, the solo records I did here, I was on hand in Lagos [vibing with everybody]. I dropped 'FEM' today from a 17-track album. So we will get 16 new songs."

"So I took my phone and DMed her. I said, "Nicki, I got a song for us. It's gon' go number one, I promise you' in those exact words. The next morning, [I saw a message from her which read], 'send it.' The next day, she sent it..."

Bidemi – I want to be Better than Jide Kosoko, Daughter of Veteran Actor says

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:30 AM PDT

Bidemi Kosoko is one actress that has had her fair share of controversies in the entertainment industry. However, the actress has described controversies as inevitable in the movie industry.

Also according to the actress, she wants to surpass the achievements of her father, Prince Jide Kosoko, in the movie industry because children "are meant to be better than their parents". Kosoko is one of the most respected actors in Nollywood.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress said, "I regret nothing so far and I cannot remember anything I wished I had done in the early days of my career that I didn't do. Some of the things that have helped me to come this far include my belief in constant learning and improving my craft at every given time. I always want to be better than my last performance and I think that has helped me stand out.

"I would say that being the daughter of a veteran actor, Prince Jide Kosoko, didn't help me in terms of popularity and in helping me to get favour in the movie industry. I don't get jobs because I am a Kosoko, I get movie roles because some directors and producers see my capabilities and talent and need them. Nonetheless, in some cases, my father's name has opened doors for me and also given me soft landings where there might have been difficulties. I don't know people's expectations regarding my career, but I intend to be better than Jide Kosoko. Aren't children meant to be better than their parents?


"About controversies and rumours, immediately I understood that the aforementioned topics are inevitable in this job, I started to pay less or no attention to them. People will always talk, whether you do or you don't. So why should I bother myself?"

Speaking about rivalries in the entertainment industry and why some actors preferred to marry their colleagues, Bidemi noted, "Some actresses are considered as rivals and some have even declared it openly, but I do not have a rival and I am not in a competition with anyone. Rivalry only builds hatred and there is too much hatred in the world; we need love and peace. When it also comes to the choice of a lifetime, everyone should do what they think will work for them; there's no 'go-to manual' when it comes to marriage. One man's food is another man's poison."

"I have paid a high price for being in the limelight so there is a limit to what I can do. I cannot do some things because the world may not see it as I see it. I cannot even walk down the street without being harassed or stared at or experience something like that," she added.

BBNaija2020: Erica's 'Go fund me' raise over N12.5m and still counting..

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:30 AM PDT

Over 310 fans and viewers of the fifth season of one of the most popular reality television shows in Nigeria, Big Brother Naija (Lockdown Edition), have raised over N12.5m for Erica Nlewedim, a 26-year-old housemate who was disqualified on the 48th day of the show.

According to the information on her page regarding the Gofundme account, as at 9.14pm on Friday, $28, 410 (approximately N12.5m) have been donated by 311 fans.

The ex-housemate, who is one of the most popular in the current season, got more than she bargained for after a lengthy tirade against a fellow housemate, Olamilekan Agbeleshe, popularly known as Laycon. The incident, combined with some of her other actions, earned her a third and final strike.

According to Big Brother, Erica was issued a strike for verbally abusing her fellow housemates, disrespecting the Head of House lounge, and interfering with the production process.

This instantly angered some of her fans, who subsequently directed verbal abuse at the camp of Laycon, whom they held responsible for Erica's fate. In light of these unfortunate incidents, a Gofundme fundraiser targeted at $100,000 was created for "the star of BBNaija season 5, whose journey on the show came to an emotional end – to realise some of her hopes and aspirations".

In a statement on her Gofundme page, one Ehizode Irefo, the organiser of the fundraiser, said, "The funds will be used to raise awareness for mental health as per therapist's fees and also help her get back on her feet considering the disqualification."

Since Erica's disqualification, personalities, including a wealthy socialite, Terry Waya; Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu; and an actor, Uti Nwachukwu, have been lending their support for her.

One of @DeleMomodu's tweets reads, "When I said days ago that winning BBN is not a matter of life & death and no reason for bitterness & a loser may become greater than whoever wins the game, I was attacked by those who don't know that experience is the best teacher. We are with you all the way and we have some plans ongoing. Stay strong, keep soaring @RealKiddwaya & @EricaNlewedim."

Nwachukwu's post said, "We witnessed with broken hearts as our favourite said some really hurtful words towards Laycon and subsequently Prince. Laycon, thank you for not also reacting emotionally. It could have been worse and ended up being a violent altercation. There's a popular saying that you beat with one hand and draw close with another.

"There is no way to justify what happened but just to say please forgive. This is not a campaign, just to genuinely apologise to Laycon, Prince and their fans for all she said and did last night. To err is human and to forgive is divine. Elite, Icons, and Royal Armies please let us extend the olive branch to each other and act with love….''

Despite her eviction from the reality show, Erica is still trending on social media platforms and currently the second most followed housemate on Instagram.

Dunamis G.O, Pastor Paul Enenche Blasts Daddy Freeze calls him a “Mad Dog”

Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:00 AM PDT

The General Overseer of Dunamis International Christian Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche has slammed OAP, Daddy Freeze over his attacks on Nigerian pastors.

According to him, Daddy Freeze is a mad dog who is suffering from bipolar disease.

The Dunamis pastor was reacting to a trending video where the OAP described Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church as a "baldheaded fowl."

The clergyman also stressed that the OAP has no moral values and respect, and lacks good parental upbringing.

He warned that Daddy Freeze risked the wrath of God if he continues attacking pastors in the country.

According to Enenche: "At this moment, it is imperative for us to address certain issues for the sake of upcoming generations. Otherwise, when evil is allowed to persist, it would be viewed as good.

"In Act 23:5, when Paul the Apostle spoke in a careless way, regarding the high Priest Ananias and his attention was drawn, he immediately withdrew his word and apologised.

"The culture of respect is also a deeply-rooted African culture. So strong that in parts of this country, in the west, children prostrate to greet fathers and elders.

According to him, he's not the first to call someone a mad dog, "Jesus did that first; he called Herod a wild dog – a fox", Enenche noted.

"I said MAD DOG because that is spot diagnoses. Spot diagnoses is a situation whereby you know a sickness by just looking at the patient without even asking any questions. What he is exhibiting a is mad behavior.

"That is schizophrenia, schizophrenic behavior. That is mania. That is bipolar disorder. That is attention seeking psychopathic disorder. A man looking for attention by all means, trying to pull down people who have built values over the years."

Enenche also backed the Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries for calling Daddy Freeze a bastard.

He then advised Daddy Freeze to start a church and work towards its success since he was so interested in pastoring.
