Big Brother Titans, BBTitans reality TV show first eviction went down on Sunday night, a week after the show commenced in South Africa.

Nine housemates, including Nana, Blaqboi, Yaya, Jaypee, Olivia, Yemi, Jenni, Khosi and Justin, were nominated for eviction, but to the surprise of the show’s followers, none of the nominated housemates was evicted.

The tension got doused when no housemate was evicted, denoting that all 24 housemates would continue for the second week.

Recall that the show debuted on January 15, with 20 housemates before eventually increasing to 24 on Thursday, with Biggie pulling off a surprise by introducing four more new housemates.

The eviction show returned with the hosts, Nigeria’s Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and South Africa’s Lawrence Maleka, who started with a review of the housemates’ experience during the first week, including the games, sessions, activities, diary, and house party, among other dramas in the house.

Reality Tv star and ex-BBNaija housemate, Bamike Olawunmi, aka Bambam, has narrated how she was sexuallly abused by her nanny and raped.

Bambam in a video on her Instagram page on Sunday said the abuse happened from the age of 2 till she was 8.

The mother of two said that the experience affected her in so many ways as she couldn’t confide in her parents because the nanny threatened her.

Calling on the authorities to have stricter laws and punishments for abusers, Bambam further stated that she was raped a few times by men she dated in the past.

She used my fist to masturbate and forced me to suck her breast while at it, it has affected me in different ways. I have also been raped a few times as a young girl, I wasn’t ready to have sex with some of the guys I dated in the past, so they forced themselves on me.

Look, sex MUST be consensual even in marriage! Sex must be consensual at all times! Don’t manipulate a mind into it! Not to talk of children?!

Hurt and mentally sick people hurt other people! That nanny was clearly abused or possessed and felt it was okay to do all she did to me! We have sick people making laws to permit their sick orientations! Make it stop!

I know some vile mouths and sick-hearted people would say rubbish and make unrelated comments! Some may spin this out of context, some may feel I should have been quiet, Y’all are the major cause of the problem in this world, abused people are committing suicide and some are abusing other people. I owe nobody any explanation! I’m doing my bit, if you care, let’s go!

For the ones with the fear of God, let’s come together and build a community to protect each other and our children from these predators! Let’s do our bit to contribute to healing this dark world, let’s do real kingdom work.

When I got there, this n***a started calling out names and said why I wasn’t selected for the Ultimate Search was because I haven’t paid my dues. He painted this picture like if I didn’t bend my ass, I wouldn’t make it.

The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has demanded the arrest of popular actress, Empress Njamah’s ex-boyfriend over the release of her nude video.

The actress has been in the news for some weeks now after she alleged that her ex George Wade was trying to blackmail her with her nude videos in his possession.

George reportedly created a WhatsApp group on New Year’s day, 1st of January 2023, where he shared the actress’s nude videos.

The nude videos are sparking intense outrage on social media.

Condemning the leaked videos, the association on Thursday, in a statement by its director of communication, Kate Henshaw, called on security operatives to arrest Wade, adding that breach of privacy is a serious offence.

This act of blackmail calculated to smear the image and publicly ridicule Empress by a man who claimed to be her lover is not only criminal but also evil and unacceptable.

It is worthy to note that leaking nude videos and images of a person that injure her right to privacy is a serious offence,” the Guild said.

While promising Empress its full support in assuring she recovers from psychological and emotional trauma, the AGN said, we have been in the forefront of the campaign of violence against women, and we view the action of this so-called evil lover man as an act targeted at eroding her dignity and self-respect.

We call on the law enforcement agents to apprehend the culprit and ensure he faces the full wrath of the law for violating the right and dignity of Empress Njamah.

As the 2023 general election inches closer, many Nigerians have raised concerns about youth involvement in the forthcoming democratic exercise following the announcement of the foremost show, Big Brother Titans.

The fun of staying glued to one’s favourite television programme has a mix of advantages and disadvantages.

Outside the beauty of entertainment, in real-time, there are feelings it could starve one’s passion for political participation.

While some Nigerians have expressed concern over the programme vis-a-vis the forthcoming election, the reality show host and media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during the launch of Big Brother Titans in December 2021, stated that ”Nigerian youths are very capable of going out to vote and also coming back to watch whatever they want to watch.

Unlike other editions, the BBTitans, which will last for three months, from 15th of January to April 2023, would be a combination of both Nigerian and South African housemates. There will be two show hosts: Ebuka Uchendu, alongside South Africa’s Lawrence Maleka.

Following the interest often generated by the reality television show, some Nigerians have expressed worries about youth involvement in the election.

A federal lawmaker representing Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola, Iwajowa constituency, in Oyo State, Shina Peller, had while expressing his worries, also encouraged the youths to invest time in 2023 elections as they would do for the Big Brother Naija show.

But reacting to this, the majority of the youths took to social media to berate him.

Usman A. Ariori: Simple, put all the presidential candidates or governorship candidates in one house, and we do the voting as it happens there. No INEC, no ballot box hijacking, no godfather, just big brother dictating.

Chukwu Emeka, Don’t reference BBnaija. Talk about the energy in EndSars. Stop giving the dog a bad name.

Akintewe Michael, Our vote counts at big brother but not in the Nigeria election.

Akujinwa Oliver Ekene, BBNAIJA is the only show that drives the youth into happiness. The political class has failed them. They are now finding succour in irrelevancies.

Emmanuel Cephas, Big Brother Naija is known to transmit results online while the federal governments believe in the ancient days method of ballot boxes and you expect any reasonable youth to go and risk his or her life to vote in a polling centre. Make the election transparent. Then you will see massive interest from the youths to vote. We are just sick and tired of voting, and it will not count.

Dr Sam Amadi, a political analyst, who described the reality show as a major entertainment project, noted that BBTitans will reduce the passion and the fervour of youths’ participation in politics.

This would affect the election to some extent because of the combination of the South African and Nigeria housemates. Once BBNaija gets on the way, and it’s interesting and compelling a lot of activities, there would be a kind of dulling in terms of young people getting out to get involved politically.

And maybe if they are yet to collect their PVC by now, it’s more unlikely, but we can see a reluctance of people to hang out too long, especially when there are some editions that will involve a particularly popular person on the show or when there are some expectations and anxiety regarding what’s going on in the house.

Yes, it will constitute some distraction, but we don’t know how much. But it’s just going to affect the quality time that the young people spend on political issues.
