Thin Tall Tony’s wife, Laraba has forgiven his husband, TTT as he is also known despite all that happened in the Big Brother Naija House during his 56 day stay in the House. After giving him a warm embrace, she went a head to thank fans who stood by him while he was in the House.
In her post which she captioned “Positive Vibes Only”, she maintained that TTT is an amazing man, husband and father despite the fact that he denied her and their kids over and over again during his stay in BBN and also publicly made out with fellow house mate Bisola.
Born Offiong Edet Anthony, Thin Tall Tony, who was evicted from the house on Sunday, came back to Lagos on Tuesday, March 21. His quest for the N25 million ended on Sunday after he got the least vote in an eviction battle against Debie Rise, Efe and T. boss.
Bally, T. Boss and Thin Tall Tony were the initial nominees for eviction by fellow housemates until House leader, Bassey saved Bally and replaced him with Efe, Mavis put Debie Rise up for nomination using her power card.
During the diary season last Wednesday, Big Brother Naija, offered Thin Tall Tony who was up for eviction, one million naira to quit the show, but the dancer refused the offer out of confidence that he will win the show. He backed the rejection up by saying one of his life policy is not to quit on something, anything.
Though everyone expected Bisola to be sad after her lover TTT was evicted, but no one knew she was going to turn into a cry-cry baby for him. Tony’s eviction was met with surprise by many Nigerians, but many were shocked to see Bisola cry uncontrollably for him. She even went on to reveal to Efe that she missed him and his light skin.
Thin Tall Tony is a Nigerian born Dance Artiste, actor and acclaimed choreographer. He performed in the first edition of Big Brother Naija and has since expanded into acting, writing and poetry. He is a self confessed team player who believes in winning for all and celebrating good times. He generated many controversies on social media platform after he went unclad in Big Brother Naja 2017. He is married to his wife of three years and has two lovely kids.
Meanwhile, since the inception of Big Brother Naija Reality show, agitations aimed at scraping it have surfaced. While these have been mostly on social media, Dr. Olusola Omoju has taken the case to court. The medical doctor who believes the show is jeopardizing his efforts in bringing up his children in a moral way, is seeking an injunction that restraints the broadcast of the show on DSTV and GOTV.
Dr. Olusola alleges that multi- choice introduced Big Brother Naija channel, aired adverts for the reality shows which promotes indecency, immorality, obscenity and included it on his bouquet without his consent. That as a result of the inclusion in his bouquet, his family members nd other dependants became avid watchers of the reality show and are now being influenced negatively through the continued broad cast of the show.
He agrees that multi-choice usually introduces a special code to enable subscribers choose whether they want access to show or not, but adds that this practice was not continued this year.

The actress questioned why Yul brought up claims about their marriage but refused to explain further.

Her sharp response has added another twist to the long-running conversation around the Edochie family.

The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
