    Iheme Faith Uloma, aka Ifu Ennada, evicted contestant in the ongoing reality TV show, BBNaija “Double Wahala,’’ says she was raped and infected with a Sexual Transmitted Disease ( STD ).

    The BBNaija contestant said that she has already documented her ordeal in her latest short story film titled, `Tears of A Broken Virgin.’

    According to her, during her stay in the BBNaija House when emotions were raised during a `Truth or Dare game,’ she affirmed that she had not rally had sex.

    The fashion designer and graduate of Computer Science from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun added that people interpreted that she was claiming to be a Virgin.

    “This person also infected me with an STI.

    “ I was also threatened by this person and was very scared of social media’s bashing with the usual questions of “what was she wearing!’’ “why did she go to his house ?’’

    “So in all my sadness and depression, I decided to tell the world what had happened to me using film as a medium.

    “I was inspired to write and produce my film `Tears of A Broken Virgin’. I got a lot of help from social media.

    “People volunteered to work for me free of charge even my director – Benny Atagame Alli.

    “Though some parts of my film are fiction, the bulk of it was inspired by my story. The lead character’s name is Ada which is a short form of my name Adanne- popularly pronounced as Ennada.

    “Because of my sad experience I battled depression, developed trust issues and found it hard to connect with people especially men.

    “I wanted to tell my story and also pass a strong message to rape victims and rapists…I hope I was able to do that with my film.

    “I intend to expand this into a feature length film. I hope everyone out there is inspired to stand up against rape,’’ Ifu wrote.

    As pairs in the BBNaija house, Ifu and Leo won the `Roc Da Mat’ Challenge which earned them VVIP trip to One Africa Festival in London later in the year.

    In addition, they were awarded five million naira ( N2.5 million each ) and one year supply of Pepsi.

    They were the fourth pair to be evicted in the 2018 BBNaija reality TV show.

    Their eviction came after Ahneeka and Angel were evicted, and two weeks after Bitto and Princess and Vandora and Dee-one were evicted.

    Ifu described her 43 days stay in the BBNaija house as `eventful.’

  • ‘Lifu’ evicted from BBNaija “Double Wahala”

    BBNaija “Double Wahala” housemates Leo and Ifu Ennada (Lifu) have been evicted from the show. The paired housemates are the fourth set of housemates to be evicted from the BBNaija “Double Wahala” house and fifth pair to depart the house.

    Previously, fellow housemates Bitto and Princess (Pritto), Deeone and Vandora (Vandee), Angel and Ahneeka(Gelah) were evicted from the show alongside Khloe and K-Brule (Ksquared) who were disqualified.

    Lifu saw their chances of winning the grand prize of 25 million Naira and an SUV cut short during the last nomination process on Monday.

    The Head of House(HoH) Bambam and her partner Rico(Bamco) who were immune from nominations decided to save Teddy A and Nena(Tena) and replaced them with Cee c and Lolu (Ceelo), leaving Lifu and the rest of the housemates up for eviction.

    Lifu narrowly escaped nominations last week.

    However this week, BBNaija host Ebuka Uchendu announced Lifu had received the lowest percent of votes from fans across the world compared to fellow housemates who were up for eviction this week.

    Earlier in the game, Lifu came out on top during the “Roc Da Mat” challenge.

    The pair won a prize of 5 million Nairas, one year supply of Pepsi, Pepsi chillers and VVIP trip for One Africa Festival in London, England.

    Similarly, the two housemates were on the blue team that won the “Heritage Bank task presentation” that guaranteed them a lunch in Big Brother’s (Biggie’s) house on Saturday.

    The outgoing housemate admitted to feeling the urge to share a kiss with fellow housemate Rico Swarvey during their weekly Saturday night party last week.

    Fellow evicted housemate Leo seemed calm and more worried about a wailing Alex. He told Ebuka that spending most of his time sleeping in the house was a result of being bored most of the time.

    He said he was glad to go back to his business outside “Biggie’s” house.

    The powers of the Head of House(HoH) were slightly altered during the eviction show.

    Perennial BBNaija host Ebuka announced that the HoH would no longer be immune from nominations.

    Ten housemates now left in the game will continue to vie for the grand prize as individuals rather than in pairs.
