Posted: 26 Sep 2021 12:28 PM PDT

The five surviving housemates including Whitemoney, Cross, Liquorose and Emmanuel will proceed to the season finale.

The semi-final lap of the 'Shine Ya Eye' season kicked off with yet another major prank, this time with viewers none the wiser at least for a few minutes.

Show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu left fans of Pere stunned after announcing the housemate's eviction. Minutes later, Ebuka confirmed that Pere was evicted from the house and not the game.

The first real eviction of the show was later confirmed to be Queen. Having had an impressive run, the now ex-housemate revealed she will be going head-on into governance.

Shortly after Queen's eviction announcement, Ebuka confirmed Nini as the second housemate to be officially evicted from the show. For her eviction chat, the ex-housemate spoke about her triangle relationship with Saga and her much talked about boyfriend.

The third housemate to officially exit the show turned out to be Saga which may not come as a surprise for followers of the show. In a second and final twist, Ebuka announced the eviction of housemate Angel.

A look at how fans voted:


Both Angel and Pere will be moved to a separate location in the house for another major 'Shine Ya Eye' move. The housemates were moved to the White room and issued what Big Brother described as the most intense games of their lives. The game of trucks and screws will afford one housemate an opportunity to join the house as the fifth finalist.

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 07:00 AM PDT

(WWTBAM), is back, bigger and better, with contestants now standing a chance to duel it out for a fantastic grand prize of #20 million every week, all year long.

The number one educational Nigerian show, hosted by Frank Edoho aired on NTA before it was temporarily suspended

The show is based on the original British version, known casually as "Millionaire" and popularly called "WWTBAM" in the literature space, aired for over 13 years from October 8, 2004, until June 25, 2017, when it was temporarily canned.


In the thirteen memorable years of gracing our screens, the show which enthralled TV audiences far and wide with its exciting and educating editions, boasted of formidable participants, a deep wealth of knowledge and one worthy winner of the staggering prize money of N10 million in the person of Aroma Ufodike who became the first winner of the much-coveted top prize of this stupendous game show.

Speaking on the return of the show, Hakeem Condotti, CEO of BLK HUT Media, the Licensee and production house stated:

"As a company, our desire is to continuously deliver creative, intelligent and professional content to the market for the people and partner brands; and in the production of a brand with WWTBAM stature, we are able to show our range and capacity to this effect.

"We are proud to be bringing international quality content right to our screens again in Nigeria, be it on TV, Digital, Cable, or Mobile. As part of the much-needed COVID relief that we all need as a nation, WWTBAM is back to entertain, educate and once again, have viewers on the edge of their seats and creating millionaires every week."

American Rapper, 21 Savage Charged With Drug, Gun Possession

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 06:35 AM PDT

American rapper, Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph aka 21 Savage reportedly turned himself in to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office on two charges and was quickly released on bond earlier last week.

The rapper is said to be facing gun and drugs charges in connection with the original incident with ICE agents in 2019.

DeKalb County Jail records show that 21 Savage was booked at 7:48 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday night and released on bond just 12 minutes later. The listed charges are: possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a gun.

His lawyer, Charles Kuck said in a statement;

Last night's manufactured charges are yet another example of how our justice system, from ICE down to the local level, unjustly targets young Black men who seek to exercise their rights. There is no legitimate basis for these charges nor for ICE's continued antics, and we will fight until Mr. Joseph is justly vindicated.

 
We are grateful for the efforts of the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office for quickly processing and releasing Mr. Joseph. He will continue to fight for his right to seek permanent residence in the United States through the immigration court. We look forward to the day when ICE will play fairly with all those who seek justice within our immigration system.

Mr. Joseph is a good man. A man who takes care of his family and his community, and a man who sets an example for those around him that it is possible to achieve success even when you start with less than nothing.

Recall that on February 3, 2019, 21 Savage who was born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

At the time, an ICE spokesman said that 21 Savage was an "unlawfully present United Kingdom national" who legally entered the United States in 2005 but overstayed his nonimmigrant visa, which expired in 2006. 21 Savage was released from custody 10 days after his arrest, and later said he was "definitely targeted" by officials.

BBNaija: Saga Opens Up To Nini – Why I Planned To Steal Your Cloth

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:30 AM PDT

Saga, one of the Big Brother Naija season 6 housemates, has revealed what he planned to do after Biggie instructed housemates to pack Nini's belongings and take them to the storeroom.

Saga during a conversation with his love interest, Nini on Friday told her that he missed her smell while she was away.

He further revealed that he had wanted to steal her cloth so he could sniff it as that seemed to be the only consolation he had.


"Honestly I missed your smell. I felt like I was going crazy and then when Biggie instructed that we packed your things, I planned to steal your cloth so I can be sniffing it.

"But then, I knew the viewers outside would be thinking that I'm a freak, so I planned to be doing that inside the toilet. I also have your sucks with me," he said.
 
Recall that Biggie had during the week gave Nini a secret task which involved her leaving the house to a secret room for 24 hours.

Her absence was greatly felt by the housemates especially Saga who was seen crying because he thought Nini requested for a voluntary exit.

Actress Charity Nnaji Insists – Sex-For-Roles, Order Of The Day In Nollywood

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:00 AM PDT

When actress Charity Nnaji took to social media during the week to state that "being a female celebrity is more like advanced prostitution" many felt her comment was uncharitable to hardworking women in the entertainment industry.

But in a fresh interview with Saturday Beats, Nnaji stood by her words, stating, "It is the order of the day in Nollywood and they (filmmakers) have even upgraded. Sometimes, they would promise one a role, have sex with one, collect one's money, then give one the script of a movie that has already been shot. It is that bad in Nollywood. Young girls who are desperate to be famous are usually taken advantage of."


The actress also stated that her controversial Instagram post was triggered by her findings on the scandal between another actress, Tonto Dikeh, and her ex-lover, Prince Kpokpogiri.

She said, "What actually triggered the post was the voice note I listened to on my colleague, Tonto Dike's Instagram page. The person she was having the conversation with, Merit, is a close friend and I called the person to find out what led to the voice note. I found out that almost all the girls mentioned in the voice note had slept with Prince Kpokpogri. Yet, those are the same people that pretend a lot. They claim to be building careers but are actually into 'runs' (prostitution) behind closed doors. After listening to that voice note and getting more information from Merit, it dawned on me that this (being an actress) is more like advanced prostitution."

Though many have dismissed her comments, saying she only made such statements to gain online popularity, Nnaji made it clear that was not the first time she would make such a controversial statement, and that it sometimes affected her getting roles in movies.
 
She said, "When people say I'm chasing clout by making statements like these, does that mean because I am an actress I can't have my own opinions or air my views? Things don't work that way. That is why many people die in silence.

"They (people in the movie industry) have never liked me because I say it the way it is. I am not a clout chaser and I did not make that statement because I want to gain popularity. I only commented on a trending issue. I don't talk just because I want to open my mouth. I try to find out about issues before summarising them on my page."

BBNaija 2021: Nini Tells Saga -"I Want Nothing But Friendship From You"

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye housemate, Nini has again 'friend zoned' fellow housemate, Saga.

Nini said that she only wants friendship from Saga and nothing more.

She said this on Friday night, day 62 of the show, as the duo talked about their earnings in the house.

Nini told Saga, "You have won like how many millions in this house? You're supposed to give me 30 per cent."


"I got you," Saga said.
 
"See you saying I got you. Sweet mouth, I don't want your money," Nini said.

Saga said, "I may give it to you."

Nini, however, insisted that she did not want his money and it was only a joke.

"You don't want my money. Then what do you want from me?" Saga asked.

Nini answered, "Nothing. Nice friendship and stop being annoying."

This comes after Saga stated that he ended his three-year relationship before coming on the show.
 
Though Saga stated that he has no relationship outside the house, it appeared that he may be pursuing one in the show, with Nini.

Nini and Saga are undoubtedly one of the closest duos in the house and Saga had made it known that he loved her beyond friendship level.

However, their 'ship' is one of unrequited love because Nini refuses to agree that they are more than friends as she always claims that she has a boyfriend outside the house.

BBNaija 2021: Biggie Introduces Eviction Twist On Sunday [Week 9]

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 04:00 AM PDT

Fans and viewers of Big Brother Naija have been hinted to expect some surprises on their screens during tomorrow's live eviction show.

The organisers of the reality TV show in an e-flier released on Friday revealed that viewers would get to see the 'Most Epic Eviction Twist'.

It's unclear how the eviction will play out; how many housemates would be kicked out or if there would be any fake evictions; or, how many contestants would eventually make it to the finals.

What is however certain is that at least one of the six nominated housemates would be booted out as the race for the N90 million grand prize enters its 10th and final week.

The last live eviction show saw Yousef and Saskay leaving the BBNaija Shine Ya Eyes House after garnering the least votes from viewers.

Big Brother on Monday introduced the Ultimate Veto Power game where the winner, besides gaining immunity, also chose the Head of House (HoH) and the Deputy Head of House.

Emmanuel became the winner and picked Liquorose as the HoH and Cross as the deputy HoH. It means the three have booked a place in the finals.

For this week the following housemates are up for possible eviction: Angel, Nini, Pere, Queen, Saga and Whitemoney.

Tomorrow's eviction show that would be hosted by media personality and lawyer Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will air on BBNaija stations on GOtv channel 29 and DStv channel 198 at 7 pm.

The Cause Of Michael K Williams's Death Revealed

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 02:30 AM PDT

Wire actor, Michael K. Williams died inside his luxury Brooklyn penthouse after ingesting fentanyl-laced heroin and cocaine, an autopsy revealed.

The American actor, 54, was found dead at his home in Brooklyn on 6 September. The death was ruled an accident.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. It can cause death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances.

Williams was discovered unconscious and facedown in the living room of his Williamsburg apartment by his nephew on September 6.


A doorman subsequently called 911 claiming Williams was 'unresponsive' and 'felt cold'. Medics rushed to the scene, but declared the actor dead at 2:12pm.

Over the years, Williams spoke about his struggles with addiction, and described it as a daily struggle.

He told NJ.com during a 2012 interview that he squandered his The Wire earnings on pot and cocaine.

'I was playing with fire,' Williams told the outlet. 'It was just a matter of time before I got caught and my business ended up on the cover of a tabloid or I went to jail or, worse, I ended up dead. When I look back on it now, I don't know how I didn't end up in a body bag.'

Michael Kenneth Williams was born in Brooklyn on Nov. 22, 1966. He was raised in the Vanderveer housing projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School in the borough."

He was best known for his role in the hit HBO series The Wire, which ran from 2002 to 2008. However, he also won praise for his role in last year's drama, Lovecraft Country for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Korra Obidi –"If You Have To Take Your Relationship Issues To Social Media To Fix It, Do It"

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 01:30 AM PDT

Versatile Nigerian dancer Korra Obidi has bared her thoughts about couples taking their relationship issues to social media.

The talented musician said she is in support of such, provided they do it to make love win. Korra stated if it is for love, they should go on social media to resolve their challenges.

"My thoughts on estranged lovers or couples bringing their issues on social media is that love is the ultimate. If you have to table a matter publicly to fix it, by all means, do what you need to. As long as at the end of the day, the love you share is intact. I oftentimes delete and block disrespectful messages. I also sometimes reply them and share their messages publicly for my fans to 'destroy' them," she told Saturday Punch.


Korra added that her husband loves her, and he is the number one fan of her craft, irrespective of how she dresses.

"I wasn't born with clothes. My natural essence is happiest with less. I am in Los Angeles, United States of America, where it is summer all year long.  I don't need to wear 'buba' and 'gele' to please anyone. Here, everyone loves you as you are."

"My husband loves my craft. He is my number one fan and supporter. We are equals. Over here, a woman is not regarded as a piece of property bought by her husband. She is considered his equal. We make decisions together and enjoy each other independently."

"Our society is a very judgmental one. Freedom is not something most of our women know about, let alone have experienced. I love my people (Nigerians) but if I was married into another family, I doubt that my creative expressions would not be limited."

"On the other hand, I see relationships like that of my close friend, Jane Mena, and I realise that our men are changing," Korra noted.
