Bbnaija Season 7 Auditions Officially Opens

Winner of the 2021 Big Brother Naija, Hazel Oyeze Onoduenyi, popularly known as White Money, has said one of his colleagues in the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ house, Queen, blocked him on social media in November after the show ended.

While featuring on Channels Television’s ‘Rubbin’ Minds‘, White Money said Queen blocked him after several attempts to reach him failed.

White Money and Queen’s closeness had made many believe they were in a relationship while in the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ house.

He said, “I have not seen Queen for a long time because she blocked me. I think it was a mistake and she didn’t know. That day, I was about to board a flight and she dropped a message. That particular line, I took off my profile picture…you know when you block someone, you won’t see their profile picture.

“We spoke a day before the incident. I think she had issue with someone from my fanbase…they were exchanging words. So, it appears she was trying to reach out to me to call that person to order.

BBNaija's Khafi faces Met Police misconduct hearing for going on the reality show in 2019 without being authorised to do so

Khafi, who worked as a police officer in the UK at the time she took part in the reality show, said during a misconduct tribunal that she appeared on the show to "promote the Met Police globally".

The misconduct tribunal heard that hours before going on the show, PC Khafilat Kareem called one of the Met's most senior officers asking him to reverse an order for her not to do so.

She was eventually evicted from the show after 77 days.

The Met said she went on the programme "without authority".

At the hearing at the Empress Building in west London on Monday, April 25, PC Kareem, who is now married to Gedoni whom she met on the show, admitted she took and surrendered her laptop to the BBNaija organisers.

But she denied allegations of breaching standards in respect of "orders and instructions" and "discreditable conduct".

PC Kareem also denied an allegation she failed to declare a business interest in relation to publicity and promotion of the TV show.

Khafi took unpaid leave in 2019 to appear on the show as she saw it as "as a chance to promote the Met on an international basis", the panel was told.

However, line managers felt it was not within the best interests of the officer or the force.

Anne Studd QC, for the Met Police, told the tribunal: "Having seen the UK episodes of the show, concerns were raised.

"But, PC Kareem said Naija was not like the UK version. She saw it as a chance to promote the Met on an international basis.

"Looking at the website and information provided, Ch Supt Jason Gwillim concluded it was not in the best interests of the Met or the officer and it would put her in a compromising situation.

"He explained the rationale and stressed she was not to take part in the show.

"Gwillim's impression was that PC Kareem was disappointed but understood. She took the period of unpaid leave."

Although permission for the leave was granted, she was told not to take part in any further auditions, interviews or shows, the hearing was told.

On 30 June, PC Kareem texted Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist and later called him to say that she had travelled to Lagos to take part in the show.

Mr Twist told the tribunal in west London that he had "never been faced with these circumstances before" and felt it was "most unusual" a PC was contacting someone of his rank on a weekend.

He explained he was aware of previous decisions to refuse PC Kareem's request to go on the TV show and said he wasn't in a position to review any decision on a Sunday.

Mr Twist said: "I got the impression she was phoning hoping I would change the decision.

"I got the fact she was in Nigeria I got the strong sense she was going to do it, but she did not say as much."

Mr Twist said his core concerns were over PC Kareem's mental health, the Met's public image and her conduct within the house.

He said: "I was worried about her mental health, we have no ability to support or intervene in the Big Brother house.

"We had no idea what security was in place around the Big Brother house and something awful could happen there or she could be targeted as a serving constable.

"Over the years a number of people who come out of the Big Brother house are reported in the media to have suffered mental health issues.

"Knowing the UK version, this is something we wouldn't want a serving officer appearing on."

PC Khafi Kareem saw a psychologist after the show due to the "adverse" media attention, the tribunal heard.

The tribunal heard she was invited to appear on Good Morning Britain - but was told not to do any unauthorised media interviews according to the BBC.

The tribunal continues.

Khafi Faces Met Police Tribunal For Going On BBNaija Show Without Permission

Nigerian Billionaire and Business Mogul, Obi Iyiegbu, well known as Obi Cubana, has urged the public to put effort into checking out on some people to know what they are going through, stating that he has chosen to take life easy because empty we came into this world and empty we will go out of the world.

The billionaire made this known during a call-in live show that was held by Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season five contestant, Terseer Kiddwaya, on his Facebook page.

The topic of their discussion was based on mental health.

Kiddwaya then asked the business magnate the last time he has ever been asked “how are you doing? How is your mental health?”

In response, Cubana said; “how are you doing is an everyday question. But how is your mental health, is rare. 

Because it depends on the person asking it might mean well, but you that is being asked might take an offense not knowing that this person is trying to know what’s going on with you.”

Kiddwaya further stated;“but don’t you think that is a problem in the society especially in Nigeria? Everyone says; how far, how you doing? But nobody says to anybody how you doing with your head. 

We create a society where everybody is afraid to speak about mental health, but people are struggling and I feel like we as celebrities need to do more to shine a light on this very serious issue. 

The men rate of suicide is higher than women and in Nigeria, we don’t have a current figure to tell you what those numbers are.”

He further asked Obi Cubana if he had ever gone through any mental challenge before and he replied:

“Because if my mindset to life from day one, I choose to take life easy, to manage every situation.

I have this natural belief that empty we come and empty we leave. Personally, I have never had a mental problem, but people go through a lot daily and I think it will be nice when we check up on people.

Not just how are you but to find out how the person truly is. You might not be in a position to solve the problem but when you asked, you kind of take out a big trunk of weight from the person.

The person might sit down and open up to you. These days people are afraid of revealing what they are going through so that it will not become a public discussion. When that person tells you, treat it with utmost confidentiality.”

Angel also took to her Instagram handle on Sunday 13th February to celebrate her birthday. She shared new photos of herself with the caption;

> "Dear Angel,
Happy birthday,
22 years ago; today; Eledumare thought of every image and he created you intricately, soil and soul involved ; and after he finished moulding you, he looked at you smiled and said "she is perfect" it didn’t matter that you had an open bite or legs that curved, you were his masterpiece. Oh to be a baby, that took its first breath in a foreign world, eyes wide open but still so closed, oh to roam about the room with no thoughts except when your mother would get home but you’re a woman, that has indeed lived beyond her years and as well learnt, but you’re a woman that has broken into different intricate pieces and as well rebuilt those pieces, but you’re a woman that has prepared her resting place and laid her head with tears in her eyes while dreaming; but you’re a woman; full of dreams; accomplished and yet to. You’re a woman; a 22 year old woman, that has laughed and cried and toiled. May the soil Eledumare used to create you never cave Angel. Cheers to another trip around the sun."
