BBNaija Shine Ya Eyes: Whitemoney Blows Hot As He Vows To Beat Pere At His Own Game

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 12:00 AM PDT

BBNaija Season 6 Housemate, Whitemoney has made it clear that he will kill Pere with kindness and he knows Pere sees him as a big threat on the reality TV show.

Whitemoney made these claims during a conversation with fellow housemates JMK, Jackie B, Jaypaul and Princess. However, what led to the conversation was the argument that transpired between Maria, Pere and Whitemoney about having 18-inch hair.

The argument went so far that Whitemoney felt bad about the attack from Pere and Maria, and he assumed the attack was something personal and not just about the fact that they did not believe his claims of having 18-inch long hair.

JMK said she felt bad that she started the conversation and it ended up as a fight between Whitemoney and Maria.

Whitemoney said Pere and Maria have been like that to him and he knows where the energy is coming from. He added that he could only solve the issue by showing kindness to them, especially Pere.

He said, "Pere sees me as a threat and he knows I am smarter than him. I will kill him with kindness. "

JMK replied that she knows that she is new to the house, but so far she has observed that Pere sees him as a big threat. She said it is nice to know your competitors in a game, but it should not be toxic or malicious.

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:30 PM PDT

Hazel Oyeze Onou, also known as Whitemoney, one of the Big Brother Naija Season 6 housemates, has finally revealed his reason for not having a university degree.

Whitemoney made the revelation during a conversation with one of the new BBNaija housemate, JMK.

JMK had approached Whitemoney to know more about him. In the process, Whitemoney told JMK that he does not have a degree because he did not have the opportunity to go to the university.


He added that, that's one of the reasons why he wants to get married to a smart woman, adding that he only wrote NECO examinations.

Whitemoney said, "I want a smart woman because I did not go to school due to the situation at that time. I am smart but I didn't go to school. I don't want a situation whereby my children will ask me about their assignments and I'll not be able to help them.

"My own is to make money. I don't know how to solve maths. Their mother will do that."

Whitemoney, however, revealed that his siblings have so many certifications and are big men.

"Any degree you want to talk about, my siblings have them. As for me, as I managed to finish my NECO, I said God be the glory," Whitemoney said.

She wrote; "This life na vanity sha. I wan marry, I wan born, I wan make money… it all ends when we gone."

Actress Sunni Welles, Who Accused Bill Cosby Of Sexually Assaulting Her Twice, Dies At 72

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 09:00 AM PDT

American actress and singer, Sunni Welles is dead. She died at 72.

Sunni Welles was one of the many women to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

Welles' son, Shaun O'Banion, shared the news on Twitter on Monday, writing, "It is with profound sadness that I announce that my mother, Sunni Kay Welles, passed away today at the age of 72."


"If you have a moment, give a listen and think of her. She was an extraordinary woman," O'Banion continued, sharing a link to a recording of Welles singing "Rio de Janeiro Blues" with her jazz band, Shiver.

Welles died on Monday August 9, at a hospice care center in Downey, California, after a battle with lung cancer, O'Banion confirmed in a statement to ET.

"My mother was a fighter, literally from the day she was born. My grandmother would tell me my mom 'fit in the palm of her hand,' and 'looked like a baby bird.' Throughout her life and career, she was also like lightning in a bottle and always championed the work and efforts of others… But what I think she would be most proud of, and certainly what I am most proud of is what I think will be her legacy: Her voice. Not her singing voice, although that was stellar, too…," O'Banion added in a separate statement. "But her voice in speaking out publicly against the man who violated her and the fact that she and her sister survivors helped to change laws and, I hope, permanently alter the response to survivors of sexual assault. She was extraordinary in every way and I will miss her every day of my life." he said

Welles' acting career began when she was 10, with roles in popular TV shows including Leave It to Beaver and My Three Sons.

She later became an aspiring singer and moved to Las Vegas in 1979 to perform with the Folies Bergère musical variety show. She continued acting sporadically before turning her focus on being a jazz soloist with her band, which toured California in the 1990s.

In 2015, Welles was one of over 50 women to come forward with accusations of sexual assault against Cosby.

According to a statement released by Gloria Allred, who was representing Welles at the time, Welles claimed she was 17 years old when she went out to dinner with the comedian, after being introduced to him by her mom, who was a story editor at Paramount studios.

Welles claimed she went out with Cosby twice, and both times felt like she'd been drugged after drinking a Coke during their dinners. She alleged that on both occasions she blacked out remembered "waking up naked in a bed alone in a sparsely furnished apartment" all alone, and "felt as if I had had sex."

Cosby was released from prison in June, after serving three years behind bars after being convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. His was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, after the court found that an agreement Cosby had with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case in the first place, according to documents obtained by ET at the time.

Welles is survived by her son, O'Banion, his partner Petra Hejduková and their son Indiana, as well as her brother Larry Rihl and step-siblings Vivian Harris, Cindy Kashdin, Gene Rihl, Frank Rihl, and Alan Rihl.

"Even today when I was sitting here, he came to me and asked if I was planning on avoiding him, I didn't say anything, because, yes! I'll avoid you", Angel said

"Imagine making this situation about yourself, you are seeing this person who hasn't spoken a word all day in this place we are in, where we are surrounded with nothing but strangers. You can't see that they are hurting like crazy in their head. The audacity to make it about you, are you going to avoid me all day? If you were thinking straight you should have known that, now this is not all about you", Arin said.

"I can imagine how hurt you were by their laughter, I'm so happy and sad I wasn't there because it would have become my fight. First of all, you are seeing a very negative encounter going on the first thing you do is to laugh. Like, are you complete up there? There are many dark souls amongst us don't get it twisted"

Williams Uchemba –‘You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be’ Is A Big Lie

Posted: 12 Aug 2021 01:00 AM PDT

Popular Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba, has taken to his social media page to share his opinion on being motivated by the famous quote 'you can be whatever you want to be'.

According to the Actor, that saying has led many to an early grave.

His post on Instagram reads ;

One of the biggest lies I believed all my life, and till date still see people make the same mistake, is the lie that YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE. This sentence has led so many people to their untimely death, frustration and hopelessness.


Imagine telling a sofa you can be a fridge or a fridge you can be a bed if you believe. Before the manufacturer of the sofa even started manufacturing it, he already knew the purpose of the sofa and the problem it would solve. The manufacture finished the product in his mind even before he started.

Just like the sofa, fridge and bed every individual on earth was created for a different purpose but, the biggest problem they are faced with is HOW TO DISCOVER THEIR PURPOSE. Whenever a product is created there are usually two ways for one to know the purpose of that product (1) ask the manufacturer or (2) read the manual that comes with the product.

You are a product that was created by a manufacturer(God) who before you were born knows what you will become ( Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.") and how you will be function better, but we live in a world that is constantly trying to figure out their purpose ,reading everything and asking everyone except the one that created. When you stick to the manufacturer that created you (God) and the Manuel he provided( The word of God) I bet you that the purpose why you are on earth will manifest.

DONT BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE, BE WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE BECAUSE ITS ONLY THEN WILL YOU FIND GRACE TO EXCEL�
