    I once dated ‘Yahoo boy’ who never gave a dime-BBN’s Phyna

    BBNaija Season 7 winner Ijeoma Josephina Otabor aka Phyna has confessed she once dated a Yahoo boy (internet fraudster) who never gave her money.

    She made this known while registering her stance on the close-fisted nature of Yahoo boy towards their lovers on the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’ with Nedu and others.

    The popular OAP asked Phyna if she would truthfully date a man who has no money but loved her sincerely.

    He said: “Are you being totally honest when you say if a guy doesn’t have money and comes to you, you’ll date him, knowing he loves you?”

    Hype priestess responded: “I just don’t welcome the idea when it’s a guy that does everything in your life.

    “I’ll be 26 this year, I have dated. I’ve been in relationships. If you check my life story well, there was never a time life was good for me and I had a boyfriend.

    “In fact, once upon a time, my longest relationship, I dated a Yahoo guy. Trust me, he never gave me a dime. All he did was chill, go to the club and spray.

    “Let me even shock you. Majority of Yahoo boys don’t give their girlfriends money. And the girl will be there not because she’s getting money but because when they go to the club, he’ll spray money, he’ll be hailed, ‘Oluwa dollar’, ‘Oluwa billion’.

    “So, they stay in the relationship just because of the title, the front seat”.

    She added: “See no be cap. If na 100 Yahoo boys dey Nigeria, 90 no dey give their babes money. If I lie ma bend!”

    BBTitans: Thabana takes over the HoH throne for week five

    The Thabana pair (Thabang and Nana) has taken over from the Royals (Ebubu and Tsatsii) as the Heads of House for week five.

    The battle to win this week’s Head of House games was as intense as ever. All pairs except the outgoing HoHs Royals had to partake in a three-round challenge. And in the end, Thabana came out victorious.

    The first game required housemates to move blocks from a bowl to an empty plate using chopsticks in 90 seconds. Juvone, Khosicle, Juiovla, Maya, Yelisa and Thabana passed this round.

    Blaqleng and Kaniva are the tails of the house.

    Juvone finally gave the tails of house title to another pair after being crowned tails twice in a row. Blaqleng and Kaniva were only able to move nine blocks, thus making them the worst-performing pairs.

    Following the tails of house announcement, the qualified housemates moved on to the next game, which was to throw as many blocks as possible into a fishnet – they each had 25 blocks.

    Thabana was able to throw eight blocks, and coming in second, Juiovla threw seven. The pairs with the highest number of blocks moved to the final round, while Maya and Yelisa got disqualified for standing on a line.

    For the final round that scored Thabana a win, each pair’s representative had to create as many words as possible from a specific word. Thabang shined through this round, thus winning himself and Nana immunity from this week’s nominations, exclusive access to the Head of House room, and the veto save privilege.

    Valentine only for legally married – Eucharia Anunobi

    Actress-turned-evangelist Eucharia Anunobi has said only legally married couples are permitted to engage in Valentine’s Day celebrations.

    She argued singles, who she referred to as the ‘deceiver and deceived’ have no business engaging in the February 14 razzmatazz.

    Anunobi, chastising singles engaging in marathon s3x and drinking, urged them to awake from the descent to hell.

    According to her: “The deceiver and the deceived, can you please tell this honourable court if love should be celebrated in just one day? Is having drunken sex in a red-lighted room love? Is this whole razzmatazz about Valentine, February 14 not an agenda from the pit of hell to ensnare and enslave the simpletons? How come it is carried out in one day?

    “He helped to join a man and a woman who were and are in love in Holy matrimony legally. As against the law of his time that was stopping intending couples from getting wedded or married.

    “So, stop and awake from your slumber before your destiny is destroyed on the thighs of Delilah like Samson.

    “You no dey shame? When will you have sense? Valentine kee you there!!”
