    Sandra Iheuwa slams hubby for neglecting son

    Socialite and businesswoman Sandra Iheuwa has slammed her estranged hubby, Steven Thompson over his Valentine’s Day post, accusing him of neglecting their son since birth.

    Her ex-hubby made a post on Valentine’s Day, preaching love and humanity to the online community

    Singing and miming Kizz Daniels ‘Rich Till I Die,’ the businessman wrote: “Most Nigerians, both genders don’t have love in them, yet they celebrate VAL.

    “Some of us treat our staff anyhow, pay the lowest salary, mistreat our domestic staff, yet we celebrate Love. Some are ready for negative news about others, envious and wicked.

    “Love one another, treat people better, especially people who don’t have anything to repay you with.

    “Live an honest life because, at the end of the day, we will all die, so what’s the point? Happy St Valentine’s day.”

    However, Iheuwa chided the human hair merchant for preaching and celebrating love when in fact he wasn’t practising it.

    The mother of four, who welcomed a son for Thompson in 2022, accused him of not providing for their child since birth.

    “The hypocrisy……you are in no place to talk about love. Come and love your son and provide for him….stop capping nonsense”, she said.

    “You haven’t paid for your son’s hospital bill since he we born, you haven’t sent a dime since he was born and you are here saying love one another when you haven’t shown love to your son or provided for him since birth. REST!!!!

    “When you speak up in this country Nigeria…..they see it as you being troublesome that’s why y’all are suffering and smiling because some of y’all never speak up but hide behind fake accounts. Y’all will never understand conflict resolution.

    BBTitans: Thabang, Khosi speak of possible Yelisa ship


    Two South African nationals in the ongoing BBTitans, Thabang and Khosi recently had a spicy conversation in the garden about Yemi Cregx and Nelisa.

    The conversation started with Thabang relating a conversation he had had with Nelisa during which they spoke about housemates who might have a thing for them.

    The discussion began with Thabang speaking about Nelisa and how she had approached him for answers about his feelings for her. Khosi – eager for the gist – kept asking him questions as he spoke, and he graciously provided the answers.

    The conversation then moved to Yemi Cregx and his ways. Khosi explained that, after Ebuka’s explosive table-shaking moment, Yemi Cregx came to clear things up with her, but she realised he was more concerned about himself and not their relationship. And she made it clear that this move did not sit well with her.

    The conversation then moved to Nelisa and her relationship with Yemi Cregx. Khosi and Thabang were suspicious of the pair. Khosi went on to suggest that it might be the reason why Nelisa had an issue with Blue Aiva.

    BBTitans: Tsatsii questions Thabang’s intentions toward Nelisa

    BBTitans housemate Tsatsii has, in a bid to look out for Nelisa, engaged Thabang over his intentions towards fellow housemate and South African, Nelisa.

    Nelisa has had a crush on Thabang for a while. However, she shared a brief moment with Mmeli a while back, which triggered a strain in their relationship.

    While speaking with Thabang, Tsatsii said that Nelisa felt rejected.

    Tsatsii said the feelings of rejection possibly stemmed from daddy issues. While this should have been a conversation between Thabang and Nelisa, Tsatsii felt the need to tell him and urged him to compliment her whenever he is with her, as it would boost her confidence.

    Emphasising the need to make Nelisa feel appreciated, Tsatsii gave an example of Nelisa’s insecurity by recalling an occasion when she felt hesitant to take off her makeup in front of the housemates because she feared their judgement. Tsatsii had to take it upon herself to let Nelisa know how beautiful she is.

    Thabang responded by saying he had tried to show appreciation to Nelisa by giving her a rose. He, however, does not want to
    be in a triangle while he was on good terms with Mmeli.

    Thabang said: ”You can’t have two things at once, so Nelisa has to decide what she wants.”

    BBTitans: Juicy Jay helps Yemi Cregx sort out entanglement

    Juicy Jay and Yemi Cregx recently had a conversation about the women in their lives and exchanged a few notes on how to deal with them.

    Juicy Jay gave Yemi Cregx advice on how to handle his triangle during their conversation after their morning workout, telling him to be honest with Khosi and Blue Aiva.

    He also told him to hold onto his relationship with Khosi because it was the most sincere. In order to end things with Blue Aiva on a positive note, Juicy Jay suggested that he engage her in a conversation.

    Heeding that advice, Yemi Cregx made it clear he does not want to be enemies with Blue Aiva and wants her to understand that she can explore relationships with other guys in the house. They both agreed that Yemi Cregx may have been unknowingly leading Blue Aiva on.

    Juicy Jay went on to recount his ordeal in what appeared to be a potential triangle with Ipeleng, Jenni O, and Yvonne.

He liked Jenni O’s energy but was not interested in a relationship with her, but admitted that he might have led her on – again, unknowingly – because it’s fun flirting with a person whose energy you like.
