Bally

Bally’s hope of winning the coveted prize of N25 million and an SUV finally met a brick wall as he was evicted on Sunday from the on-going Big Brother Naija reality TV show, thereby becoming the 9th housemate including the fake housemates, to be evicted.

This week’s live eviction show will pass as one of the toughest as four popular housemates TBoss, Debie-Rise, Marvis, and Bally were subjected to a popularity contest in less than one week to the end of the reality TV show. TBoss polled the highest votes, leading with about 26 percent, followed by Debie-Rise who polled 25 percent, Marvis with 24 percent and the only male in the contest, Bally polling 23 percent.

On the eve of the eviction show, Ebuka- Obi-Uchendu, the show host, to the surprise of the housemates, announced that the housemates will be hosting very important guests. This later became the shock of their lives when the visitors turned out to be their family members and in some cases, friends. Amidst tears, the housemates, after about 80 days of separation, sat and watched their favorites eat specially prepared meals, even though they were prevented from touching or speaking with their guests as they were all put in a freeze mode.

During the eviction show, Ebuka, again invited the housemates’ visitors to the stage and gave them the opportunity to finally speak with the housemates. The dreaded moment however came when Ebuka revealed that this week’s eviction process would be played out differently. He explained that the family member or friend that walks into the house would signal the evicted housemate. Without wasting time, the guests were ushered to the arena as the nominated housemates anxiously waited for the doorbell to ring, each fervently praying against seeing their ‘person’ come in. It was the shock of the night when Tola, Bally’s friend walked into the house. In a moment of disbelief, the five standing housemates watched as Bally and his ally walked out of the house. Bally joins the host of Soma, Miyonse, CocoIce, Gift, Uriel, ThinTalLTony, Bassey, including the two fake housemates, Ese and Jon.

Bally, while on stage with Ebuka said: “I’m actually surprisingly okay. I’m not going to lie to you. I mean, I got this far. It wasn’t easy you know. And a week away, it’s not too bad. ”

When Ebuka brought up the issue of his constant nomination of some the housemates, Bally disclosed that he went out for the game. “The people that are my friends are going to remain my friends forever regardless of what happened in the house. It was the game, to be honest and I had to play the game the way it ought to be played, ” he said. On the hardest part of being in the house, the statistician and DJ said, “You are living with people who are more than tough strangers, different people from different backgrounds, so you have to learn to tolerate these people.”

Meanwhile, the moment of respite came when Ebuka, to the delight of the last five housemates standing, announced that there wouldn’t be a nomination show and head of house task this new week. He also said the housemates will no longer be allowed to campaign for votes in front of the cameras.

Iyanya

Mavins Record star singer, Iyanya, has said that he is yet to get over his ex-girlfriend and actress, Yvonne Nelson, after their much-publicised break-up in 2012.

The singer told the said his break up with the actress was to enable him concentrate on his music career.

He said, “We broke up because we hardly had time for each other. I was hustling and I would do four shows in a day and I will make two million.

“So, I won’t say because I was in love with a woman I’m going to see money and I’m going to lay back.”

However, Iyanya confessed that he missed her terribly and was yet to get over her.

He added, “It’s not easy losing a great and beautiful woman like Yvonne. She was everything I have at that moment.”

He said he had done his best to move on, while revealing that he missed the actress’ attitude during love-making and her constant messages and calls to him.

“Like our first day in bed. She was like ‘Oh yeah baby, I really love it’ and her late night and early morning messages and calls. I miss everything about her,” he said.

Rapper Benezeri has quit music.

The “Ndiwabulijjo” hitmaker, who recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication, has announced that he is moving onto the next chapter of his life to answer God’s calling.

“I’ve succumbed to a strong conviction to honorably bow out of the art that I’ve devoted the last 10 years of my life to,” he announced. “It definitely hasn’t been an easy decision to make but for the last 4 months it’s been heavy on my heart and this morning (3:11 am 4th April 2017) I once again failed to complete my night’s rest because of this conviction. Living in a foreign town, without a smartphone has allowed God to speak to me clearly in the silence. Once again, I’ve reached a crossroads in my life and He is pointing me into this direction.”

“I can’t say, I’ve achieved everything there was to achieve from this, far from it. However, I feel strongly that God is calling me elsewhere,” he added.

In his short music career, the rapper released three albums, and successfully held three concerts. He is popular for songs like, Ndiwabulijjo, AbeyoTogwamu Suubi and Zuukuka among others.

Davido

Nigerian musician, David Adeleke widely regarded as Davido has bared his minds on the challenges of going global with his local music.

Singer, Davido, has stressed the importance of doing things the way one knows how to and stay dedicated to one’s craft.

The former Sony Music Entertainment artiste said that he has already made more money this year than he did last year because he was able to break free of the shackles that held him last year.

Speaking at the home of contestants in a popular reality game show, the father of one noted that after signing his Sony deal last year, he was asked to ‘westernise’ his sound in a bid to make him appeal to the Americans but the move cost him as his fans on the continent didn’t really ‘feel’ him.

But at the turn of the year, following the sack of his manager, Kamal Ajiboye, the singer dropped a new single, ‘IF’ which saw him return to his regular music style that earned him fame and fortune. And in a short while, the song has topped charts in Nigeria and beyond.

Explaining how he decided to call Sony’s bluff, he said, “You know that last year I signed the deal and the deal held me. They no wan make I drop music wey I know how to make. They were dictating to me how they wanted me to make music.

“But in December I switch am for them say omo, f*ck-off mehn, I’m doing what I have to do and I went back to local.

“The money wey I don make, from January till now e don pass the moni wey I see last year.

“Anyday you gats do what you gats do. Chris Brown no fit do Naija music pass me, me I no fit do hin own pass am.”
