    Give us Tyla, take Pere, Phyna – Ike begs South Africans

    Following the victory of Super Eagles in the AFCON semi-final, reality TV star, Ike Onyema has offered to give his colleagues, Pere Egbi and Phyna to South Africans.

    This decision was prompted by the intense match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the AFCON 2023 semi-final.

    Ike took to the ‘X’ platform to make an appeal to South Africans over their loss at the 2023 AFCON.

    He urged South Africans to consider exchanging their Grammy-winning artist, Tyla, for Nigerians’ Pere Egbi including Phyna as an additional bonus in the deal.

  • #BBNAIJA: Esther is a sneaky girl, says Ike

    ESTHER may be out of the Big Brother Naija house, but she’s not out of the minds of her now ex-housemates.

    Lovebirds and current co-Heads of House, Mercy and Ike, still have some spicy words to share about Esther, as we’ve seen on the latest episode of Showmax’s Extra View.

    During a discussion between Mercy and Ike, the former revealed that Esther had played a fast one with Diane over Nelson. Fans of the show will remember that Nelson, an ex-housemate, had been a love interest of BFFs Esther and Diane while he was in the house.

    “We were talking about who we like in the house and Diane told Esther that she likes Nelson, and the next two days she (Esther) took Nelson,” Mercy shared with Ike.

    Continuing she said: “Diane told me she didn’t see Tuoyo as a boyfriend; I like Tuoyo differently. I have feelings for this person (Nelson) and she made it very clear; she didn’t hide it. Then the day we had this discussion, it was still Esther who asked us who she (Diane) liked. She didn’t want to, but Diane just said it and the next thing you (Esther) are with this guy and we don’t even know what happened”.

    Mercy further revealed that Esther didn’t state that she liked Nelson during the discussion, leading Ike to describe Esther as a “sneaky girl”.

    During his last days in the house, Nelson shared more than a few cuddly moments with Esther, an action which Mercy has now revealed affected Diane badly.
