Replace Ebuka With Frank Edoho As BBNaija Host, Fans Tell Organisers

Posted: 31 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PDT

Nigerians watching Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) have called for the replacement of the reality game show host, Ebuka Uchendu-Obi.

This occurred barely a day after the organisers of the controversial show, Multichoice Nigeria, announced early auditioning for the season 6 edition which also has its grand prize pegged at 90 million Naira.

On Friday afternoon, Nigerians on twitter space made a campaign against the current show host, Ebuka, who was also a contestant at the first season of the reality game show, suggesting popular Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host, Frank Edoho, as the new face they want to see in BBNaija's next season.

One of the tweets that went viral from a twitter user read; Ebuka don eat small, make him allow another person chop! Frank Edoho as BBNaija host for this season won't be a bad choice.

Responding to the campaign on twitter, Edoho who hosted Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for 13 years rejected the offer, saying that he'll be returning to television as host, however, not on BBNaija.


He also said that he wondered what Ebuka had done to deserve the call for his replacement after he had successfully hosted three editions of the reality game show.

Edoho said; "what did Ebuka do to deserve all this? Why would you want to change someone that has done a show successfully for only 3 years and have him replaced with one who did WWTBAM for 13 years? Leave Ebuka alone! Please".


Kim Kardashian Begged Ex Kanye West To Meet Up With Her After His ‘Frustrating’ Twitter Meltdown

Posted: 31 Mar 2021 01:30 AM PDT

TV reality star, Kim Kardashian, 40, who filed for a divorce from her estranged husband, Kanye West, last month, begged the rapper to meet up with her after he made disparaging tweets towards her mum, Kris Jenner in 2020.

In the eagerly-anticipated 20th and final season of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians show, Kim was seen speaking to the camera about the split on Thursday's episode.

She revealed Kanye, 43, had been residing at their Wyoming ranch while she remained at home and she wouldn't mind meeting up with him.

The scenes came amid Kanye's infamous social media meltdown last year, in which he posted a series of hurtful tweets about his wife and her mother Kris Jenner.

Kim said on the episode that she found the scenario 'frustrating' and urged him to meet with her to discuss his woes.

She said: 'Kanye's been in Wyoming and he's been posting a lot of things on social media. That is a little bit frustrating, but you just have to kind of separate yourself from what's going on at home and what's going on on the internet.'

It then seemed that Kim was reaching out to her aides in a bid to contact Kanye, as she was seen speaking on the phone.

She said: 'I am happy to come tomorrow, I am happy to come to Wyoming next week, whenever he wants. I'm still happy to come there and be supportive and chill with him and hang out with him and I know he needs that.'

At the time of filming, the rapper had posted a series of tweets about the Kardashian family.

He accused Kim's mother Kris of 'white supremacy' and said he would 'go to war' with her.

Kanye and Kim began dating in 2012 and were engaged in 2013 before marrying in a lavish ceremony in May 2014.

The divorce is the first for Kanye and third for Kim, who was previously married to Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004 and Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013.

Pastor Chris mocked for claiming to reach 5 billion people worldwide

Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Founder of Loveworld Ministries a.k.a Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is being mocked by Twitter users after his church claimed his Global Day of Prayer event reached up to 5.3 billion people around the world.

The Global Day of Prayer event was advertised for believers to join Pastor Chris and billions around the world from 6:00 pm GMT +1, 1:00 pm EST Friday 26th to Saturday 27th March 2021.

It was streamed live on all the LoveWorld Networks and Web/Mobile platforms, LIVE TV, CEFLIX, and on major Satellite, terrestrial and local TV and Radio Stations around the world.

Believers were encouraged to participate through their preferred TV, Radio, mobile, or web application/ website/ social media site.

But during the event, viewers began seeing a banner that suggests that up to 5.3 billion people are watching the events live a figure that caused some to wonder if it was just a typo.


A tweep Ayo Sogunro questioned the 5 billion viewers number saying: '5 billion would mean literally everyone in the world old enough to listen was listening in every village, in every town, in every airport, in every shop, in every bank, in every govt office, in every school….wait, why am I even bothering to explain?

Another argued that even the FIFA World Cup does not have such viewership, sharing Google's list of events with the highest viewership in the world.

Another argued that there aren't even up to 5 billion internet users in the world, tweeting: 'The number of internet users is around 4.6bn. The number of those with pay-TV is around 1.7bn. And many, many, many of these people have both. I'm really curious as to how this number was arrived at!'

Pastor Chris has always been controversial, in one of his Sunday services, the Pastor explained to his church members how much time they have before the end of the world.

Using a chart, he explained to his members he calculated when Jesus walked out of the temple as 30AD and when he was born within 4BC and 2BC, using those calculations he estimated when the rapture will happen.

Pastor Chris also claimed scientists are trying to vaccinate everyone in the world by 2030 by putting chips inside them.

"2030 is the goal set by GAVi and MIT, think about it…Even Satan is trying to understand the scripture and he is pushing people to act." He adds.
