How Big Brother Naija Housemates Enjoyed Valentine’s Day
Day 23 of the Big Brother Naija Reality Show coincided with this year’s St Valentine celebration on Tuesday, February 14. In case you missed the events of the day in the house, the following are five major events that took place to mark the valentine’s Day.
1. The male house mates woke up early to surprise the ladies in the house with a special Valentine’s break fast treat. The break fast was received with much delight by the ladies, as they gave them hugs and kisses, while 2 Face’s track ‘African Queen’ played in the background.
2. Still on the Valentine’s Day mood, the house mates were treated to a visit from Mr Nigeria, Emmanuel Ikubese.
3. The House mates who enjoyed the first kissing festival thought it would be a good way to celebrate valentine’s day with another session of the festival. With the ladies gathered outside in the Jacuzzi, the guys headed outside and before they could all jump in, Thin Tall Tony (TTT) and Bisola kicked off the festivals by sharing the first kiss of the night.
4. After the kissing festival TTT and Bisola decided to call it a night as they both cuddled up and fell asleep. T. Boss spent a few minutes massaging Jon’s feet while they chatted on the couch, while Gifty and uriel discussed Ege’s laughter which they find annoying.
5. During an interesting diary session, Ese said she liked T. Boss and Thin Tall Tony, but found Gifty a little too annoying. TTT admitted to have a soft spot for Bisola because they got along like a house on fire.
Uriel took shots at T. Boss for hoarding Jon all to herself. She admitted that she kind of liked Jon for herself too. Bally says T. Boss has found a replacement for Miyonse in Jon.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
