Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kess has said the reality show makes life more difficult for contestants after they leave the house, with the competition continuing beyond the programme.

Kess made the statement in a post on X while reflecting on the experience of former housemates after their time on the show.

“Big Brother makes your life harder. Winner or not, the moment you leave that house, you’re dealing with a version of life that is far more complicated than the one you left behind,” he wrote.

Kess said former housemates may receive words of encouragement after leaving the show, but they still have to compete for attention and opportunities.

“Everywhere, words of encouragement. Baba, press money join,” he added.

He also pointed out the growing number of people who have passed through the reality show, saying Big Brother Naija has produced 249 housemates across 11 seasons.

“Big Brother Naija has dished out 249 housemates in 11 seasons. Competition inside and outside the show,” Kess wrote.

Nollywood actor Olaide Olabanji has criticised some of his colleagues for supporting politicians who, according to him, have contributed little or nothing to Nigeria’s development.

He made the remarks in an Instagram video on Thursday while raising concerns about the wellbeing of Nigerians, particularly ailing celebrities and the state of the country’s healthcare system.

Condemning actors who fail to use their platforms to speak against bad governance, Olaide, who declined to mention names, warned that their children would also suffer the consequences if they failed to join other Nigerians in holding the government accountable.

He also criticised unnamed actors who allegedly helped politicians distribute rice and beans during election campaigns, questioning what they had achieved with the money they were paid during the 2023 general elections.

“Don’t destroy people’s lives because of what you are benefiting from bad leaders. Those who supported bad leaders in the past are responsible for the hardship that Nigerians are going through today.

“We contributed to where Nigeria is today. Yet, we keep supporting evil. Many Nollywood stars are on sick beds today because of nonchalant behaviour. Many of us have the opportunity to speak truth to power, but we refuse to do so simply because of our stomach infrastructure.

“If many of us had been telling our government the truth, it’s possible they would have provided Nigerians with good hospitals by now. If we had good governance, Nigeria should have different hospitals capable of treating various illnesses without people travelling abroad for treatment.

“Nigeria deserves a good health system, good electricity supply, good roads and adequate security. Many of the bad leaders that you are supporting today don’t receive treatment in Nigerian hospitals. They travel abroad with their children and family members for medical treatment. They travel abroad for common headaches with our resources.

“Where can we travel to when we fall sick? If any actor is sick, we come to social media to seek financial support for them. Is it supposed to be so? Tell Nigerian leaders the truth. The citizens are hungry, there is hardship in Nigeria, yet you fail to speak up because of your stomach infrastructure.

“Many Nigerians are sick without access to good hospitals, yet you keep supporting the people who are destroying the country.

“We have seen actors sharing rice and beans for the government. They turned themselves into politicians’ slaves. Is the money they paid you in 2023 still useful to you today? Fuel is now N1,400, yet we keep supporting them. You forget that you have children.

“Can the money you received for the campaign build your children’s future?” he asked.

Watch him speak.

Afrobeats star, Davido, has continued to face backslash for attacking rapper Erigga over remarks about family’s wealth.

DAILY POST reports that Erigga had on Wednesday acknowledged and celebrated the effort of artistes who built their career without family wealth.

Erigga wrote on X, “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and have to grind for every single dollar they earn.”

Quoting the post on his handle, Davido, who comes from a wealthy family background, tackled Erigga as he defended artistes born into privilege.

While mocking Erigga family background, Davido wrote in Pidgin English, “No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top. Comot here with that your useless motivation. Imbecile.”

Reacting to the clash under Davido’s post, many users accused him of having low self esteem and inferiority complex.

@HonitelHQ: “You have a very low self esteem and it is really pathetic. There is no place in that tweet where he mentioned your name. You are not the only artist in Nigeria that comes from money. The tweet isn’t even a sub but your insecurity won’t let you ignore something that isn’t about you.

@officiaEdoOsasB: “Make Erigga nor give shout-out to Area again because one small David dey insecure? You nor wise.”

@adelambo: “He didn’t mention your name or make any references at anyone, he was just  giving an encouragement to people without any support.”

@BoiiSavi: “Am your fan but a times you go too extreme, why insult him? Why do you like necessary drama on timeline? Bro I swear is not easy defending you here at all, Asake of yesterday is more matured than you why? You can never see other artist doing this shit here except you why? Anyway keep insulting yourself Shalom.”

@yarlo_wtf: “Erriga dey on him own

you begin dey chase clout

stupid cunt. You have main character syndrome too. You always want to make it about yourself. This is really a sad way to live life, man.”

@ufuomayeg: “Not everything you reply to, he didn’t mention your name. Abi na anger say Spotify don deduct streams again?”

@jradun21: “Nobody said coming from a wealthy family means you didn’t work hard. The point was simply to acknowledge those who had to build from zero. If a harmless shoutout to people without a financial head start triggers you this badly, maybe the message hit somewhere it wasn’t supposed to.”

@maclacha: “That wasn’t for you. One can’t talk generally now? Rich always come for the poor because they got lucky, EVEN CALLING HIM IMBECILE.”

@immaryTee: “You’re busy fighting imaginary enemies. if you’re not able to continue with music pls give up

Did he mention you?”

@Bulkdeal121: “This isn’t about beef davido just like responding to everything for me I think he is a nuisance someone just tweeted without pointing finger and now you jumping on conclusion do you know how many billionaires son sing too someone was praising himself having come from nothing without support Erriga when go okere prison come out sing he music take de feed himself make name for himself with money sponsor you just jump on matter na now I know why even small pikin for industry de insult you.”

Music star, Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus, popularly known as Joeboy, has shared his opinion on early marriage, revealing that he fancies it.

He noted that getting married in his 20s and having teenage children in his 40s would be great.

Speaking in an interview with British media personality, Madame Joyce, Joeboy said he realised how important it is to marry early after Nollywood star, Timini Egbuson said in an interview that he wished he had married early, despite being “a ladies’ man”.

The 29-year-old, however, said that even if he gets married right now, he would keep it a secret.

He said the public would only find out when he already has three or more children.

“I saw an interview of Timini. He’s like the ideal playboy; almost all the girls claim to love him, and he was like, he wished he got married early. I was like, if you’re a playboy and you can say this, that means marrying early might actually be nice.

“That is not the only identifier for me. But marrying early to someone who you genuinely love is going to be cute. Being 40 and having a 16-year-old kid is cute. 

“But marriage is not really about whenever it feels cool. If it just feels right to you and you love the person, do it.

“Personally, I would rather get married early. But if I get married right now, nobody is going to know. 

“Maybe when I have like three kids, people will now find out that Joeboy has a whole family somewhere,” he said.

Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, has said it is wrong for parents to completely shield their children from hardship and hard work.

According to her, the fastest way to ruin a child’s life is by preventing them from experiencing hardship or working hard.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Femi Baba, Mama G recalled that she once evicted her son from home so he could go out and make a living for himself.

She said, “The fastest way to ruin a child’s life is to say you don’t want them to suffer the way you did. 

“When you’re gone, they may start fighting over your property. I told my son, ‘My house isn’t yours. Go and work for your own.’”

Ozokwor explained that because she raised her children with discipline and hard work, they were doing well.

The movie icon urged parents not to deny their children the experience of struggle and hard work because of their love for them.

Afrobeats star, Davido has revealed that he will soon leave music to focus on making billions.

He said this while responding to a post by Nigerian rapper, Erigga on X.

Erigga had posted a message praising musicians who did not come from wealthy families and had to work for every dollar they earned.

“Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn,” Erigga wrote.

Davido disagreed with the message, saying musicians who came from family money could also work hard to reach the top.

“No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top,” he responded.

The singer then described Erigga’s message as “useless motivation” and called him an “imbecile.”

Davido went on to say he would soon leave music to pursue his financial goals.

“No worry o I go soon leave their music for una go make my billions… then that shit gonna be boring AF,” he wrote.

He ended the exchange by questioning whether people genuinely want to live in poverty, asking, “Deep down, who like poverty?”
