“I am 25 years old and not 21 years old. I had to reduce my age because of modelling,” Koyin revealed.

In response, Gigi praised him, saying, “You have some high level of emotional intelligence which I appreciate a lot.”

This revelation comes shortly after another housemate, Ivatar, also clarified a false age claim. Ivatar admitted she is 37 years old, not 40 as she stated during the premiere, explaining that she was only joking.

BBNaija S10: Why Victory dumped me — Gigi Jasmine

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Gigi Jasmine, has opened up about the reason behind her split from former love interest, Victory, claiming he ended their relationship because she refused to have sex with him.

In a candid conversation with fellow housemate Danboskid on Thursday night, Gigi alleged that Victory’s growing closeness to another housemate, Joanna, began after she turned down his sexual advances.

“He wanted sex, I didn’t,” she said bluntly.

A visibly shocked Danboskid responded, “Are you f*cking for real?”

Gigi continued, “Yeah. And then I started seeing signs of him and Joanna. He was like, ‘Nothing is happening, I promise you.’ Then he picked her at the Arena games, and later went to tell my best friend Sultana that he likes her.”

According to Gigi, Victory showed no remorse after dumping her. Instead, she claimed he told her that she would benefit from pity votes since viewers would likely see him as the villain in their failed romance.

Tensions between the pair had already been building earlier in the week when Victory chose Joanna over Gigi as his guest after winning the Head of House challenge, leading to a heated confrontation in the house.

Sultana further disclosed that she keeps her interactions with Dede minimal, limiting conversations to simple greetings.

“Mide is such an instigator, and Dede is so insecure. You see all these play people are playing with her, my own no pass good morning, hi, how are you. Even this small debate that we are going to have taught me a lot about that girl. She’s so paranoid and obsessed with perfection,” Sultana said.

Her comments have sparked reactions among fans, with some seeing it as a sign of brewing tension in the BBNaija house.

BNaija: I’m not mentally ready to be Head of House – Kuture

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Kuture, has said he is not mentally prepared to take on the role of Head of House (HOH) just yet.

Speaking with show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during Sunday’s live eviction show, Kuture admitted that the leadership position comes with overwhelming responsibilities that he is not currently ready to handle. He compared managing fellow housemates to “controlling animals,” suggesting it requires a high level of patience and authority.

“HOH comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is easier to control animals than human beings,” Kuture said. “Some housemates don’t even respect the HOH, and I am not mentally ready for that yet.”

Kuture said his reluctance was also influenced by how past HOH, Jason Jae, was treated, citing the lack of respect shown to him during his reign.

He noted that he would consider stepping up for the position by Week 4, when some housemates would have been evicted and the dynamics in the house might be easier to manage.

Presidency slams Peter Obi’s one-term pledge as ‘deceitful’

The Presidency has dismissed Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s renewed pledge to serve only one term if elected president, describing it as deceitful and inconsistent with his political history.

In a strongly worded statement on Sunday, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused Obi of a pattern of broken promises and questioned his credibility to lead Nigeria.

Obi had, earlier on Sunday, restated via social media that he would serve just one term if elected president — a vow Onanuga claimed lacked sincerity.

“Peter Obi, the liar, is exposed again,” Onanuga wrote on his verified X handle, @aonanuga1956. “You’re neither a Mandela nor a Lincoln or a Kennedy. You sound as if you have never held an elected office before. You sought re-election as Anambra Governor in 2010 and narrowly won courtesy of a divided opposition. Why didn’t you walk away after only one term?”

He further questioned Obi’s performance in Anambra, arguing that the state showed no significant transformation after his eight years in office.

Onanuga also reminded Nigerians of Obi’s past political moves, particularly his defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), despite publicly vowing never to leave the party.

“You talk about trust, but how do you expect people to trust someone who can’t keep a simple promise not to leave a political party?” Onanuga stated. “If we’re to make allowance for excuses, you’ll definitely have an excuse to break your one-term vow.”

The renewed political exchange adds to the ongoing tensions between Obi and the Presidency as the 2027 general election draws closer.
