Keeping Tabs On All the Fights And Controversies In The ‘BBNaija: No Loose Guard’ house

This year’s installment of BB Naija is rife with drama and intrigue as always and we are here to give a rundown of all the juice fights so far. It’s been barely two weeks and alliances are forming, and friendships are evolving.

The ninth season of the reality show, themed this year “No Loose Guard” has had moments of conflict within pairs and between other housemates. Here are a few

1. Ben vs Tjay

Despite winning the first Immunity Challenge, the Beta pair (Ben and Tjay) was unsatisfied with their performance in the second Custodian Challenge, leading to their loss. This loss did not sit well with Tjay, who thought the challenge was “basic engineering.” When the challenge was over Tjay asked Ben to explain how they failed, and between disappointment and guilt, Ben became upset. He did not appreciate how Tjay questioned him and complained to other housemates. Chizoba tried to calm Ben down, and other housemates also chipped in, with Shaun emphasizing the importance of the Custodian Challenge and how disappointment might cause one to snap.

2. Chinwe vs Zion and The Mbadiwe Twins
Unsurprisingly, the first pair to have been introduced to the Big Brother house, Zinwe (Chinwe and Zion), was the first to experience tension in their relationship. These two lovers were seen in a heated argument with Chinwe, expressing her displeasure with Zion’s support for the Mbadiwe Twins after they told him that other ladies were interested in him. Chinwe emphasized that he was starting to cross some lines and that there might be no coming back. The couple has since made up.

3. Ndi Nne

The Ndi Nne pair fought over leadership roles and responsibilities in the house. Having emerged as Head of House, the Ndi Nne pair have different styles of leadership. Just as speculated by the audience, the pair is currently at loggerheads.

While Nne devised a method that worked for the housemates during the task, Chinne, her aunt, felt slighted and left out, accusing her niece of going ahead of her and not checking in for her approval first. Despite Nne’s attempt to pacify Chinne and explain the situation, she was adamant.

4. Ruthee vs Ndi Nne

During a culinary task that required housemates to split into groups, an argument sparked as Rhuthee of the Floruish pair insisted that she and Nelly of the Nelita pair, who are both professional chefs outside the house, should not be in the same group. The disagreement escalated until Biggie intervened, reminding the housemates to respect Nne’s decision as the Head of House. Rhuthee still kept at it and was only silenced when Biggie reprimanded her the second time.

5. Michky Vs WannixHandi

Last night, August 6, 2024, began smoothly in preparation for their first sponsored task. Big Brother asked the Head of House to instruct the housemates to split themselves into groups. Although this was successful, Michky of the Radicals, who had initially excused himself from the lounge returned livid at the realization that Shaun of Shatoria had been chosen to lead his team, whose members include Wanni, with whom he had had the brawl with. To the dismay of his teammates, he suspected that this was a ploy and emphasized that no leader should have been selected without him.

“The twins dey find trouble. I no like Wanni but make dem use their heads well,” he said.

He promised to let go of the issue but not before putting it out there that the twins shouldn’t aggravate him any further. He also insulted Shaun, calling him a “simp” (a slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women) for allowing Wanni to make decisions for the group.

He discovered that WannixHandi selected Shaun because according to them, he is athletic. Michky went on to tell Zion that the twins are known for gossiping about other housemates and he wouldn’t be surprised if the house turned their backs on them.
Despite his grievances, Michky revealed a softer side, admitting his romantic feelings for Handi, but lamented that her constant presence with her twin Wanni was a barrier to a potential relationship. In all of this, Zion’s input was that Michky shouldn’t take the issue personally and look for a way to take Handi aside and talk to her about his feelings.

Frank Edoho confirms end of second marriage

Nigerian media personality and television host Frank Edoho has announced that his second marriage has come to an end.

He disclosed this during an appearance on the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.

Edoho, of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ fame, got into his second marriage when he married Sandra Onyenuchenuya in 2013 after the crash of his first marriage to Katherine Obiang in 2011.

Dropping the latest update on his marital situation during the interview, Frank admitted that he’s probably not good at marriage.

He noted, however, that he did all within his power and even stretched himself to ensure the success of both marriages, but they ultimately ended in ruin.

He said, “Maybe I’m not good at marriage, I must confess. The two women I had been married to are not my soul mates. Love of your life is different from your soul mate. The love of your life is the person who comes to your mind when you think of love. But your soul mate is someone who understands you even before you express yourself, and you naturally align with.

“I know that I went above and beyond for the two marriages. I carried my partner… I can abandon everything for her. But you don’t blame them for falling out of love with you. Take the footballer Kaka, for example, he’s a Brazilian and he looks as handsome as an Indian.

“Very handsome guy, even when he retired from football, he was still handsome. But his wife divorced him. Do you know what she said? ‘He is too good.’”

Edoho and Sandra, who was pregnant, had their traditional wedding in 2013, followed by their white wedding in 2017, a year after they welcomed their second child. Their first child was born in 2014.

Davido gifts personal assistant Lati Range Rover as birthday gift

Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again shown love to those in his inner circle by gifting his longtime personal assistant and close friend, Lati Biola, a brand-new Range Rover as a birthday present.

The heartwarming gesture comes as no surprise to fans familiar with the duo’s long-standing friendship, which dates back to Davido’s childhood. Lati, who served as Davido’s best man during the singer’s high-profile wedding to Chioma in June 2024, has remained a constant in the artist’s journey, both professionally and personally.

In the early hours of June 25, 2025, Davido took to Instagram to celebrate his best bud, tagging him as his ‘favourite person’ and posting pictures from the birthday dinner and clubbing. He also posted the keys to the luxury vehicle with the caption, “Love you my brother, enjoy new keys from your boy.”

It is worth noting that this is far from the first time Davido has gifted Lati a car. In 2019, Lati revealed that the singer was so generous that he gifted him a new red Benz worth ₦70 million.

Why I stopped womanising – Daniel Etim-Effiong confesses

Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has opened up about his past as a womaniser, admitting that while it was a short-lived phase in his life, it was a significant learning experience, one he now warns young men against repeating.

In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the movie star admitted to dating multiple women simultaneously in his younger years.

Maybe there was a time in my life I was a womaniser. Definitions would differ, but in that definition, maybe there was a period in my life that I was, I wouldn’t say for long periods of my life. Maybe for certain periods that I explored. So, perhaps.

He described those moments as “periods of learning”. Still, he emphasised that such a lifestyle can lead to long-term consequences, especially for those looking to build stable relationships or marriages later in life.

es, they were periods of learning for me. If I learned, then they were good periods. I learned that certain things don’t necessarily bring you the fulfilment that you think they would. On paper, it feels like that is the life, but in experientially maybe not.

He urged young people to avoid developing habits they wouldn’t want to carry into marriage, warning that commitment is a muscle that must be built.

I tell young people a lot that it is cool to be a player but if you develop that habit or lifestyle, you won’t automatically change overnight. So, don’t develop something you don’t want to continue for the rest of your life. If you are not able to commit to one person, if you jump from one relationship to another, that won’t automatically change when you marry.

When you marry that muscle hasn’t been developed so you encounter one challenge and you want to immediately jump or you just be like, ‘I’m talking to you; you are not listening to me, let me find somebody that would listen to me.

If you are the kind of person who, before you got married, it was easy for you to just walk away, keep different relationships, keep ladies on the string, that won’t change when you get married.
