    With cashless valentine, Nigerians will experience true love – AY

    Popular comedian Ayo Makun aka AY has anticipated the 2023 Valentine would be memorable following the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) cashless policy and current naira scarcity.

    Businesses and the daily lives of Nigerians have been badly affected by the worsening scarcity of old and new naira notes across the country.

    The scarcity of the naira, which has persisted for weeks, has radically altered the economic landscape of businesses, the living conditions of the people and small business operators.

    As the scarcity persisted, the CBN confirmed the arrest of some bank managers in connection with hoarding the redesigned naira notes while the citizens continue to groan at the biting effect and increase in fuel prices.

    Then he posed a question saying, “Is this even possible?”

  • BBTitans: Kaniva, Marvin sort things out

    BBTitans: Kaniva, Marvin sort things out

    After a week of hostilities and unsure intentions, the duo of Kanaga Jr and Blue Aiva as well as Marvin and Yaya have sort out their differences.

    During a heart-to-heart, Kaniva and Marvin discussed Marvin’s disappointment at being substituted for Yelisa during the previous nominations.

    The Maya pair had been talking about how shocked they were to be put up for eviction by Kaniva all week because they felt there was a certain level of friendship between them. At some point, their fellow housemate Miracle OP quickly pointed out that Kaniva’s choice was a power move.

    During the fourth Sunday live show, Ebuka decided to shake things up as he asked Marvin to speak about the frustration he had all week over being put up for eviction.

    Marvin admitted that he did not see Kaniva’s decision coming. He went on to say that Kanaga Jnr must have chosen him and his pair not because of his game but for personal reasons.

    Kanaga Jnr responded he had personal reasons for putting up Maya for eviction but he couldn’t say what the reasons were in public.

    Ebuka’s questions opened the door for some sort of conversation between Kaniva and Maya. This conversation took place a few hours later when Kaniva approached Marvin to appease him. While speaking with Marvin, Kanaga Jnr said he was on good terms with Marvin but putting him up was the smartest move to make at that moment.

    “I don’t feel like explaining myself is necessary but because it’s you, that’s why I am explaining,” Kanaga Jnr said in their conversation.

    Furthermore, Kanaga Jnr explained to Marvin that he had to be conscious of the fact that as much as they were building friendships and connections, they were still playing a game.

    Their conversation ended with a bro hug between Kanaga Jnr and Marvin.

    BBTitans: Ebubu, Tsatsii emerge Heads of House for week four

    Ebubu and Tsatsii have emerged fourth Heads of the BBTitans Zikhayala Wahala edition House.

    Ebubu and Tsatsii, also known as the Royals, emerged after 18 of the 20 housemates gathered at the arena for the ‘Head of House’ game for the fourth Head of House game.

    Ebubu and his partner Tsatsii will now enjoy all the benefits accorded to the Heads of House.

    The fourth HoH game was in two parts but extended to a third game, which served as a decider between the Royals and the Maya pair – Marvin and Yaya.

    Tsatsii, who participated in the game of numbers, precision and speed narrowly outshined Yaya to clinch the title for her pair when Yaya failed to place her 5s properly.

    With this development, Ebubu and Tsatsii make history as the fourth HoH in the history of BBTitans and head the House into the fourth week’s task and activities.

    As usual, the Head of House (HoH) title comes with some extra privileges. Ebubu and Tsatsii get to sit on the throne-like HoH chair, get information directly from Big Brother and read out the day’s task to the other housemates.

    BBTitans: Tsatsii uncovers the mystery of the lost biscuits

    Tsatsii has uncovered the mystery behind the lost biscuits in the house.

    While in the garden, Blaqboi, Jaypee, Marvin, and Tsatsii discussed missing food – and the culprits involved shocked Tsatsii to her bones.

    Tsatsii discovered some biscuits and chocolates hidden under the sink while cleaning the kitchen in the morning.

    She quickly drew attention to herself,and Mmeli suggested that the loot be shared among housemates because no one knew who owned it.

    However, the owners of the loot were revealed this afternoon while Tsatsii was discussing the mystery with Blaqboi, Jaypee, and Marvin.

    Blaqboi, who was upset about Tsatsii’s discovery, revealed that the biscuits and chocolates were his and Kanaga Jnr’s stash.

    Tsatsii, on the other hand, found it difficult to believe that the no-nonsense Head of House Kanaga could be involved in such an act.

    She repeatedly questioned Blaqboi, who laughed at her naivety with Marvin. Marvin revealed that he and Kanaga Jnr had been trading in-house loot since the show’s inception.

    Evicted housemate, Jaypee told Tsatsii to accept what she had just heard about Kanaga Jnr, and move on.
