His tweet read: “A whole Lagos street boy like me… London boys nearly run me street this morning. While at the Bus stop checking my map to see when the next bus 🚌 will come, a guy on a bicycle 🚲 snatched my phone “Cheers mate”, and sped off. It’s today I know that I still have mad reflex. The way I ran after him on the main road ehn, even the cars had to stop… he thought he was sleek by not using the bicycle lane, thinking I would give up once he infiltrates the cars on the main road. The moment he realised I was very close to catching up with him and I was going to use my umbrella on his head, he dropped the phone on the road and zoomed off. It’s why I will never trust all these South Eastern London boys who go about with durags and face covers on bicycles. Anyways, I will soon leave this London for you people. 😔” See post below:

Big Brother Naija ex-housemate, Tochukwu Okechukwu, aka Tochi has weighed in on the recent tragic passing of Port Hacourt student, Justina. In a startling comment, Tochukwu implied that a lot of people—women in particular—might not be completely aware of their boyfriend’s source of income.

Man shares his two-year experience living with dirty female flatmate
A man took to Twitter to share his harrowing experience of living with a extremely dirty female flatmate for two years. The man disclose the disturbing living conditions he endured, including dirty dishes piling up in the sink, leftover food particles clogging the drain, and even a used sanitary pad sticking to the dryer. The series of photos and his account of the situation have drawn widespread attention and concern.
The Twitter user, who remains anonymous, narrated his distressing experience of cohabiting with a woman who consistently neglected household cleanliness. Whenever he confronted her about the mess, she would reportedly retort that he is not her father, thus shirking responsibility for maintaining a clean living environment. One of the most appalling images shared by the man displayed a sink overflowing with dirty dishes, which had seemingly been left unattended for an extended period.
This unsanitary situation not only posed a health risk but also created significant tension between the two flatmates. Further illustrating the extent of the squalor, the man posted a photo of leftover food particles obstructing the sink’s drain.
Perhaps the most disturbing image was that of a used sanitary pad adhered to the dryer, suggesting a serious lack of personal hygiene on the part of his flatmate. The man alleged that the woman didn’t remove her sanitary pads from her underwear before tossing them into the washing machine, compounding the already dire living conditions.
In his Twitter posts, the man openly admitted to taking it upon himself to clean up the mess left by his flatmate on some occasions. He revealed that he even found himself in tears while tackling the unsanitary living conditions. See below;

Bam Bam (Image source: BamBam’s Instagram page) She disclosed this in a recent interview with TVC. BamBam said: “I have always wanted to be in filmmaking, so I made the decision to audition for Big Brother [Naija] so I would be seen. Because after I graduated from film school, the hustle was real. I remember myself and my colleagues going to auditions, and it was just a waste of time, strength, and money. “Sometimes, we do waka pass [minor roles], they [producers] go give you N5k. And I left Abuja [to Lagos to pursue my movie career]. I was actually comfortable in Abuja, where I was. I had a 9-to-5 job. I had a car, a dog, and a cat.” She said that after she came out of the Big Brother show, her career skyrocketed. NigezieXtreme reports that BamBam found love in the Big Brother house and both got married in 2019.
BamBam and her husband, Teddy A (Image source: BamBam’s Instagram page) It all started like a joke when she and another housemate of the opposite sex, Teddy A, started a thing in the house, viewers thought it was the normal love strategy in the house but we were all starstruck when Teddy popped the “Will you marry me” question in 2019. The couple welcomed their first child, Zendaya, in 2020, and their second child, Maya, in March 2022. In related news, BamBam was featured on Punch Saturday Beats recently and she spoke on how she feels about cyber bullies and their opinions, stating that she only cares about her husband’s opinions and not what cyber trolls say. According to her, everyone is entitled to hold and make whatever opinion they wish; however, those that matter most to her are those of Teddy A, her husband. She said: “I do not care about trolls (cyber bullies), because it is important that the world knows that everyone is entitled to their opinions. It will only matter if the troll is from my mother and my father. Even at that, what matters the most is what I feel about myself. My husband is the only one who can hurt me with his words because I love him so much. His opinion matters the most to me. I do not live for trolls unless I want to be suicidal.”
