    BBNaija All Stars: Neo hasn’t mentioned my name since I left, Uriel laments

    Former BBNaija All Stars participant, Uriel Oputa, has opened up about the pain she carries in her heart due to feeling “neglected” by her romantic interest, Neo.

    During an interview on ‘Clout,’ the ousted housemate revealed her profound sorrow stemming from the sense of abandonment by her fellow contestant following her exit from the House.

    The fitness enthusiast, known for openly expressing her feelings for Neo, accused him of not showing any signs of missing her, neither in words nor actions.

    She asserted that Neo had swiftly moved on with Ilebaye, though she found solace in mentioning both Ilebaye and Neo’s sister.

    She said: “Neo, water full my eyes but I’ll be alright. Neo has not even called my name once in that house. Since I left, Neo has not said, ‘I miss Uriel’.

    “Since I left, he has not said that he has missed the pink dress that I wore that day.

    “Since I left, he has not said that he missed my rice; the rice I gave this guy last. I gave him rice, two cups that day. But Neo does not miss my rice. It’s Baye that is….it’s okay. Baye is your sister….”

    Uriel was the second housemate to be evicted this season during the live show on Sunday, August 13.

    During her post-eviction interview with BBNaija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Uriel disclosed that she and Neo shared kisses every weekend during the three weeks she spent on the reality show.

    She also expressed her anticipation of starting a relationship with Neo once he leaves the show.

    Ilebaye’s been playing victim game, we’ve been fooled, BBNaija’s Doyin reveals

    BBNaija All Stars, Doyin has expressed her thoughts on her former friend, Ilebaye’s behaviour.

    An argument had ensued between Ilebaye and Whitemoney when the latter turned off the music system after the former turned it on and even amplified the volume.

    According to Whitemoney, Ilebaye’s actions seemed disruptive at an “ungodly hour,” prompting him to ask her to lower the volume.

    However, Ilebaye insisted that she raised the volume to create a song and believed her actions weren’t bothering anyone.

    Doyin, having observed Ilebaye’s actions and her subsequent tears, confided in Cross in the Head of House (HOH) bathroom.

    She revealed her suspicion that Ilebaye had been deceiving them all along by playing the victim and garnering sympathy from Nigerians to secure votes and potentially win the prize money.

    She said: “Ilebaye has been playing a game. Watch her videos from the Level Up season, she’s not the same person. When I realised her game, I felt so stupid. But it’s too late, the viewers would have given the money to her.

    “The first person that told me was Whitemoney, he said in this house, we are much more stupid than we think. I asked him what he meant and he told me to keep watching and I’ll find out for myself.

    Reacting, Cross stated: “Goddamn it! Ah han! What has she been through in life to make her this kind of smart? How? At the age of 22?”

    She also confessed to being aware of Mercy’s many behind-the-scenes remarks and was surprised to witness her maintaining a facade when they were face-to-face.

    BBNaija All Stars: You will go home on Sunday, CeeC tells Pere

    BBNaija All Stars housemate CeeC has assured her fellow housemate Pere that he’ll be evicted on Sunday.

    During a heated exchange with Pere, CeeC told him that he would certainly be leaving the Big Brother House on Sunday, daring him to watch out for her ‘prophecy’.

    The verbal war between the duo erupted following CeeC unwillingness to participate in morning chores.

    Pere and Ceec were assigned to clean the dining areas but this morning she claimed not to be in the mood suggesting she’d do her bit later.

    The housemates weren’t quite pleased with her, particularly Adekunle who emphasised CeeC needed to do her bit explaining the likely outcome if every other person decided to give excuses not to do their chores, noting the house would be untidy.

    Pere agreed to clean the area alone, urging the housemates not to make a fuss about the matter.

    Considering Ike to be one closest to CeeC at the moment, they implored him to go counsel her on the need to do the chores when everyone else is doing theirs.

    But Ike walking out to CeeC in the garden informed her the housemates were unhappy with her over how she walked out during their meeting and her refusal to do her morning chores.

    She instantly became infuriated and started hurling abuses at the housemate then singling out Pere, her Chore mate.

    Calling Pere a fool at 40 among other things, CeeC told him to watch out and see that he would be leaving on Sunday.

    Pere, who maintained a calm demeanor throughout the provocative session, chipped in a few abusive words at CeeC like ‘yam leg’ and others.

  • Why I didn’t use my mother’s dementia as strategy BBNaija – Uriel Oputa

    Why I didn’t use my mother’s dementia as strategy BBNaija – Uriel Oputa

    Big Brother Naija All-Stars evicted housemate Uriel Oputa has revealed why she failed to use her mother’s dementia predicament as a strategy on the reality show.

    She said deploying that tactics would have been too predictable and would be seen as gathering pity votes and support to sustain her game on the show.  

    The fitness enthusiast recently stated this while appearing on an interview session on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds.

    Uriel said: “When I said initially that I have gone through a lot, I was actually talking of my mother. I spent ten years of my life being a carer. So, this is just a little icing on the cake.

    “Not bringing my mother full front in Big Brother House, was a decision I made before I went in because I just thought that it would just be too predictable. People would be like, ‘Oh! Why is she using her mother to get sympathy votes?’ And, I feel like there is so much about myself and I have so much talent whether it is cooking… I found out in the House that I have such stage presence whether it’s theatre, I’m able to project myself in a good manner.

    “So, there is so much more to Uriel than just her mother. And I wanted to show that I’m a cook. I’m also into fitness. I can sing. I’m well-rounded. And that was a decision I made not to bring my mother into the equation; they  have known that side of me. They’ve known about it for six years. This is a fresh start so let me show you things you might not know of me.”
