Two housemates, Denari and Tracy, have been evicted from the Big Brother Naija Season 10 show after a very eventful week seven. The first housemate whose eviction was announced by show host Ebuka Obi–Uchendu was Denari. Tracy followed him out of the Big Brother Naija house not too long after.

During the live show interview with Ebuka, Denari was asked about his romantic relationship with Doris, who left the show last Sunday.

Ebuka asked, “Is this really real with Doris?” Denari responded in the affirmative, saying, “of course.”

To the typical “what next” question from evicted housemates, Denari said he’s open to every and any opportunity in the entertainment industry, including Ebuka’s job as the Big Brother Naija show host.

“Everything entertainment. I’m a good actor, singer and I can do this thing you are doing too (referring to Ebuka hosting the BBNaija show),” Denari said.

Tracy, in her live show interview, was asked by Ebuka why she said she wanted to leave the house earlier in the week. She responded that “the house was mentally exhausting.”

Describing her experience in the house, she said she enjoyed herself even though the house is crazy.

For Ebuka’s weekly throwback-inspired fashion statement, he delved into politics, tracing back 48 years to draw inspiration from the outfit former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo wore during a 1977 visit to the White House to meet former US President Jimmy Carter.

In a recent interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, Mavin Records in-house disc jockey, DJ Big N, shared that Don Jazzy’s decision to sign Ayra Starr was influenced by the activity on her social media page.

According to him, before the Mavin Records boss signs anyone, he goes to their social media page, and if he doesn’t see sufficient posts about their craft, he will refuse to consider such an artist.

“Jazzy would go to your Instagram and scroll, if you don’t have about 10 – 15 posts there, he will not be moved because your work ethic is poor,” he shared.

DJ Big N’s words further capture Don Jazzy’s approach to identifying talents he wants to work with.

The legendary music producer, musician, and label boss has previously shared in various interviews that he prides himself on his work ethic as much as his talent when deciding on talent.

According to Jazzy, talent can be developed, but a work ethic is way harder to build in an artist who lacks it.

For Don Jazzy and many A&Rs and labels, the willingness of an artist to share their craft through years of development on social media is a way to identify potential talent.

More than ever before, social media has become a primary platform for emerging artists to get visibility and build an audience.

Don Jazzy’s policy of prioritizing work ethics has yielded positive results for his Mavin Records, which is home to some of Nigeria’s finest talents, including the Grammy-nominated superstars Rema and Ayra Starr.

Your brain is the control center of your entire body; it handles your thoughts, memories, emotions, and even how you move. Just like any other important part of your body, your brain needs care and attention to stay healthy. Many people unknowingly follow habits every day that slowly damage brain function. Here are five common daily habits that could be harming your brain without you even realizing it

1. Skipping Breakfast

You’ve heard it before: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yet many people rush out the door without eating. When you skip breakfast, your brain doesn’t get the glucose (sugar) it needs to function properly. This can make you feel tired, unfocused, and moody. Over time, constantly missing breakfast can affect your memory and mental performance.

2. Not Getting Enough Sleep

Sleep is your brain’s time to recharge. It processes information, forms memories, and clears out waste products. When you sleep less than the recommended 7–9 hours a night, your brain becomes foggy. Long-term sleep deprivation has been linked to poor concentration, slower thinking, depression, and even Alzheimer’s disease.

3. Too Much Screen Time

From scrolling on your phone to watching TV or working on a computer, screens are everywhere. While technology can be helpful, too much screen time can lead to digital overload. It reduces your attention span, affects your sleep, and limits real-life interactions. Excessive screen use also keeps your brain from engaging in activities that build creativity and critical thinking like reading, playing games, or having face-to-face conversations.

4. Lack of Physical Exercise

Believe it or not, your brain loves it when you move. Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain and boosts the production of chemicals that improve mood and memory. Sitting for long hours without exercising weakens these benefits. A sedentary lifestyle has been linked to a higher risk of cognitive decline and mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

5. Multitasking

Trying to do several things at once, like texting while eating, watching TV while working, or checking emails during conversations, may seem efficient, but it makes your brain less effective. Multitasking reduces your focus, lowers productivity, and makes it harder to remember information. Over time, it can lead to mental fatigue and stress.

The good news? These harmful habits can be changed. Start your day with a healthy breakfast, aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep, move your body regularly, take breaks from screens, and give your full attention to one task at a time. These small changes can go a long way in keeping your brain sharp, focused, and healthy for years to come. After all, your brain works for you 24/7, it deserves better than burnout.
