Big Brother Naija, BBNaija season 7 housemate, Adekunle has said he’s willing to pack his bags and forfeit N100m grand prize for the show.

Adekunle said this after his heated argument with Sheggz on Tuesday night.

The BBNaija housemates got into a heated argument after Adekunle said Sheggz is not an intellectual.

This happened while the housemates were having a discussion on schools.

Speaking after his argument, Adekunle said he would have gotten angry and decided to fight Sheggz if he was willing to.

Adekunle said: “I am not even angry this night. My anger is bad, that is why I told Sheggz ‘let us decide’.

If both of us agree that we will collect a strike and we will forfeit the 100 million, we will fight it. I am ready. I’ll pack my bags if he is down and we’ll both go home together.”

Africa youths taking back leadership — Rudeboy

Popular twin entertainer Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy has said youths across the African continent are intentionally taking back leadership.

Buttressing his point Rudeboy cited the recent change of leadership where the opposition leader, Hakainde Hichilema defeated incumbent Edgar Lungu in Zambia’s presidential election; and in Kenya where the Deputy President, William Ruto won Raila Odinga, a veteran opposition leader and five-time presidential candidate backed by outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The “Reason With Me” singer further wondered the next African country the wave will take place.

He said: “There’s a heavy wave of change in leadership across Africa… young people are taking back their country first. It was Zambia, now Kenya… which country is next? And they say it’s just social media.”

Pain and agony in heart for not helping a fan- Tonto Dikeh

Actress Tonto Dikeh has expressed deep regret and shame over the death of a young kid.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Deputy Governorship candidate Rivers State narrated how an encounter with a fraudster made her presume a genuine helper-seeker was fake.

Dikeh claimed in her post that she had assisted a fan who had complained about having a difficult time and shown her baby as proof.

The actress felt sorry for the fan and handed her N370, 000 but when she went back to check the social media profile and saw that it had been erased, she felt deceived and let down.

The mother of one claimed she later received a similar message from a fan asking for medical help but ignored it and deleted the message.

Unfortunately, she received a message on Wednesday morning from the woman, saying her son was dead.

This, she said, hurt her so much, adding that she will hate and beat herself for a long time for believing it was a fake post.

She wrote: ”Few weeks ago I helped out a random fan with almost half a million naira (370k) cause they had mad challenges and she showed a baby and all, one week later I just wanted to check on them. BOOM the account has been deleted, I took it with good faith. I was so pissed, I felt used and taken for granted but I moved on.

FF to 2days ago, I saw similar message, seeking for medical assistance. The way I deleted and ignored the message ehn, this morning I opened my DM the mother told me her son died…… My eyes hurt from crying. My heart aches so bad….

“I will hate myself for a very long time. See the amount of damage one person lies and choices have caused. My heart goes out to everyone going through one thing or the other!!

“I will beat myself up for this for as long as I stop feeling guilty but the person who made me ignore that message I pray you suffer more than the grieving mothers.”
