Big brother Naija All Stars housemate CeeC claims beating up her fellow housemate Alex wouldn’t have been a big deal if they were outside the house. 

She spoke hours after they clashed in the house over a wager task.

Yesterday, the two housemates, who appeared on Season 3 of BBNaija as housemates and rivals, almost came to blows but were separated by housemates.

Still reflecting on the incident with Cross the next day, CeeC stated that she would have handled Alex differently if they hadn’t been in the house.

According to Cee C, she would have hired four boys and they would have beaten the Enugu-born dancer to death.

Comedian Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke aka Igosave, has argued the fame and popularity of a skit maker is momentary.

He said, unlike stand-up comedians, most skit makers lack longevity in the entertainment industry.

The comic star made the assertion while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, co-hosted by actor, Nedu.

Asked if he agrees that skitmaking is now overshadowing stand-up comedy, Igosave said: “Skitmaking, once they start am e dey erupt like volcano. But in my opinion, the lifespan is short.

“Yeah, skit maker go come, scatter everywhere, but before you know, he do cool. But, comedians go dey there for years still dey do their thing dey go.

“We get plenty skit makers wey don come, wey we no dey hear off again wey no last three minutes.”

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate Whitemoney and Mercy Eke have agreed most of the other housemates are not happy to see past winners back on the reality show.

He said Cross vowed that he would not win this time around and he heard CeeC say a female would win the ongoing season.

The singer said the cash prize was never his actual goal but to promote his music. After the threats, he said he is ready to play the game.

He promised never to nominate Mercy for eviction and urged her to do the same, which she obliged.

They also came to a consensus that if any of them wins, the other will be the first runner-up.

Whitemoney said: “There’s a plot going on. Yesterday, I got to find out that not everyone here is happy that the winners are back. Neo was like, ‘It’s not fair’ that we are here.”

Mercy concurred, saying, “Yeah, I noticed some things.”

Whitemoney further said: “Cross said that he swears that I’m not taking it this time, that he’s the winner. Same thing CeeC, and all of them, saying na woman dey win am this time, even Angel.

“Initially, I didn’t come back for the money, I came to promote my craft and my music coming out tomorrow, so when this is over, I can start going for shows and performing. But after yesterday, let’s play! 

“You see, as me and you take last enter here, na so we go be last comot. I give you my word: I will never nominate you and you do the same. When you’re up, WhiteMoney Gang knows what to do for Mercenaries and when I’m up, Mercenaries will support WhiteMoney Gang.

“Right now I would d rather have you win than any of these people. You win it, I’m your first runner-up, or I win it and you’re my first runner-up.”

Mercy responded, “Even me.”

Whitemoney won the 6th edition of the show, while Mercy won the 4th edition. The duo are the only past winners competing for the N120 million cash prize in the ongoing all-star edition.

 Unforgivable, which would start its cinema run today, July 28, 2023, features top acts like Theo Lawson, Timini Egbuson, Nancy Isime, Jude Orhorha, Victor Eriabie, Ijeoma Richards,  Mercy Isoyip, Anthonia Okojie, Emeka Okoye, Kokoette Omoinyang, and Joseph Ajah.  Others are Joseph Momodu, Aaron Sunday, Moses Nwosu , Osasu Esemuede, Linda Igwe, Alloysius Onyejegbu among others.

 About the movie, Elimihe, said: “Unforgivable is about a young man though raised with a golden spoon by responsible parents,  has issues with ladies and is charged to court for raping the lad after his heart. Realising to his chagrin that his father hired his ex, a topnotch lawyer in matters of rape and murder cases to defend him and he refuses her representation in court but prefers to represent himself instead.”

Nollywood actress Oluwakemi Motunrayo has said how her mother was worried when she told her about her desire to become an actress.

  “When I told my parents about my intention to join the movie industry, my mum was initially not in support of my decision,’ she began. “She was worried about the wild rumours and scandals around actresses.  She was also scared about the issue of sex in exchange for movie roles. Thankfully, my mum did a good job of raising me and my case was different. She is always happy and proud anytime she watches my movies.”

 Continuing, Motunrayo said she has a passion for acting. “I really have a passion for it, having experienced both good and bad. But I will never quit because of the passion I have for acting.” 

The thespian, a native of Owo, Ondo State, who started her movie career in 2008 explained that her tempestuous trajectory has continued to strengthen her in the industry.

 “I joined the movie industry in 2008 through Afeez Owo Group (Double A Entertainment). I am equally a producer, having produced four lovely movies: Rinsola Oloko Meta,Eleda, Elegbenla and Atunida. Essentially, I have learnt a lot of lessons in the industry,” she added.

 Oluwakemi, a graduate of Business Administration, recalled how she managed to overcome sexual advances from colleagues in the movie sector, saying: “Getting into the movie industry was not a walk in the park for me. I got a lot of advances from actors and directors that offered roles in exchange for sex, but God gave me wisdom to outsmart them.

 “When I first came into the industry in 2009, the competition between actresses was much but I thank God I am still alive and doing well for myself.”

 She added: “I think the most challenging aspect of being an actress is the way people perceive us. The untrue assumptions are quite disturbing. Some people classify actresses as runs girls (prostitutes) in disguise and I think it is not appropriate to have such thoughts. For instance, I just bought a new SUV and some people were quick to say it was my sugar daddy that bought it for me.”

“However, I was very focused on my convictions about him and today, I can say it was one of my very best decisions as a music executive.

“His commitment, loyalty, consistent honour and selfless understanding are sincerely rare.”
