“Ladies, there’s no point playing hard to get. It’s old school” – BBNaija star, Saga says
Big Brother Naija star, Saga Adeolu has advised ladies to stop playing hard to get because it’s archaic.
According to Saga, the common notion that women should not show interest in a guy too quickly because it would make them seen as an easy catch is outdated.
The 28-year-old fitness enthusiast, who was stuck on his co-star, Nini, on the sixth edition of Big Brother Naija show, shared this opinion on Twitter on Friday, June 17.
“Ladies if you like him, there’s really no point playing hard to get.
Let’s all agree, that shit is old school”, he tweeted.
However, many people expressed disagreement with his take as they opined that ladies shouldn’t be easily accessible to a male admirer because it would lead to disrespect and contempt.
A Twitter user wrote, “And wen you play easy to get, they think you are cheap and still break your heart…This life no Balance”
Reacting to the lady’s concern, Saga said he doesn’t mean ladies should play easy to get but they should simply be themselves.
A while ago, Saga Adeolu got ladies swooning on social media after he gifted his co-star and love interest, Nini Singh, a beautiful pencil drawing of her face. Read here

BBNaija Reunion: Moment Beatrice attempted to slap Maria for saying she has inferiority complex (video)
A full-blown fight almost broke out between Big Brother Naija stars, Beatrice Agba Nwaji and Maria Chike Benjamin, during the reunion show that aired on Thursday night, June 16.
The drama started when Beatrice revealed that she didn’t move close or attempt to become friends with Maria during the show because she didn’t like her.
This seemingly got to Maria who immediately interrupted her and said she didn’t want to be friends with her either because she doesn’t belong to the caliber of people she is friends with.
She added that Beatrice probably disliked her because she has inferiority complex and told her to deal with her self-esteem issues before approaching her.
This statement struck a cord in Beatrice and she instinctively stood up and made to physically attack Maria but was stopped by Pere and other housemates who intervened.
Thereafter, the mom of one was escorted off the set by the camera crew.
Watch below,
This incident has stirred reactions from viewers of the show, and majority of them berated Beatrice for her actions while noting that the attempted attack was not necessary.

People refused to listen when I said Bubu lacked the pedigree to make Nigeria better in 2015 and 2019 – Okey Bakassi says as he declares support for Peter Obi
Nigerian comedian, Okey Bakassi has recounted how he spoke against President Buhari becoming the first citizen in Nigeria during the 2015 and 2019 presidential election.
According to him, he shouted on the rooftop that “Bubu” lacked the pedigree to make Nigeria better but no one listened to him.
Taking to his Instagram page, Okey Bakassi said he has now pitched his tent with Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, for the 2023 general elections and he would also not listen to anyone who tries to convince him otherwise.
He said;
When I was shouting in 2015 & 2019 to anyone who cared to listen that Bubu lacked the pedigree to make Nigeria better, some people refused to listen. Today Nigeria is in a mess and we are all suffering it. This 2023 election, it’s my turn not to listen to anyone…it’s PETER OBI for President!
I don’t want to listen to anything that is not related to how Peter will win the election, don’t stress me with your political permutations. I can pay small attention to you, if you’re talking about other positions like National Assembly, Governor or State Assembly.
I don’t want to hear about Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, etc…I don’t want to hear about Christian, Muslim or Witchcraft. If the political discussion is not about how Peter will win, I will not listen.
BBNaija Reunion: “To me I was dealing with a single woman” – Boma speaks on romance with Tega (Video)
Big Brother Naija star, Boma Akpore, has cleared the air on his relationship with fellow reality TV star, Tega Dominic.
The pair became prominent during the show due to their romantic involvement, coupled with the fact that Tega introduced herself as a married woman.
On several instances, Boma and Tega were seen kissing and making out, an act that sparked outrage, with many accusing them of defiling the sanctity of marriage.
Tega’s supposed husband, Ajebo, also publicly addressed his ‘wife’s’ activities in the house at the time, and celebrated her birthday with sweet messages on her birthday, making many believe they were indeed married.
However, in the most recent episode of the reunion, Boma, who previously declared that his relationship with Tega was a strategy, claimed that he did all he did with her because he was aware of the status of her supposed marriage outside the house.
According to him, while many of the housemates and viewers believed Tega was married, he knew the marriage crashed before she came into the house, so he saw her as a single woman.
Speaking on why he didn’t reveal the details while he was being bashed for being in an amorous relationship with a married woman, Boma said it was not his story to tell.

He added that the organization would not condone such a crime.
“To get involved with a child as young as 16 years, is not something I and the association I represent stand for. This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I would not want to comment any further on this case.” The AGN president said.

“Why my marriage to my ex-husband, Philip, failed” – Actress, Ini Edo opens up
Popular Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has shed light on the factors that led to her failed marriage with her ex-husband, Philip Ehiagwina.
The 40-year-old movie star opened up on her marriage in a recent interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV’s Rubbing Minds show.
The thespian who got married to Phillip in 2008 but got divorced six years later, said their marriage crashed because of distance.
According to her, the union might have worked if they were staying together because it would avail them to opportunity to communicate and understand each other better.
The mum of one added that family interference also played a role in their failed marriage as some of her husband’s family members were against some roles she played in movies.
Her words,
“No matter the indifference or incompatibility, if you’re together in love, a lot of things can actually work out.
However, you don’t get to work things out when there is no contact. When you are with someone, and you can’t agree on certain things or find a common ground, I think being together could have actually helped us to understand each other better.
Most of the time, we attract the wrong people, sometimes for the wrong reasons. Because when people come to you because of what they see on TV, it’s hard for them to accept you considering the fact that you are just acting because that is your job.
When they find out that it’s not the real you, it becomes a problem.Marriage is an experience which I don’t regret. My ex-husband met me as an actress. My job takes my time because naturally there are certain roles you are not allowed to play once you are married.
Even if your husband understands, his relatives might not understand. My ex-husband is the last child, so family interference in the marriage was normal.
“Marriage has taught me a lot of lessons, it made me wiser and stronger. I think it actually made me more mature. I don’t think I married too early, maybe I was a little bit in a hurry.”
BBNaija Reunion: “Why I claimed to be married on the show” – Tega reveals (video)
Controversial Big Brother Naija ‘shine ya eye’ star, Tega, has revealed why she claimed to be married in the house despite being separated before her participation in the reality show.

According to her, claiming to be married was her strategy for the game.
Tega stated this while defending her on-screen romance with Boma.
She insisted that she had been divorced from her husband since 2020, but decided to use marriage as a strategy on the show.
“For a fact, I didn’t go into the show as married. I went in as separated. In all my interviews, I clearly stated it. I went in as separated. During our conversations and introductions, I just said well I’m married and I have a kid. That was supposed to be a strategy. Getting deep into the show, I then discovered that this was doing something great in a bad way to me.” She said.

“I’ve seen more takes on Peter Obi’s travel itinerary than on any of the numerous ones Buhari took” – Filmmaker Imoh Umoren
Nigerian filmmaker, Imoh Umoren, has reacted to the controversy that has trailed presidential aspirant Peter Obi’s visit to Egypt to study the country’s education, power, planning, and financial achievements.
Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential flag bearer in the 2023 election, had on Tuesday, via his official Twitter handle, announced the three-day trip to the North African nation.
“I just departed for Egypt on a 3-day visit as part of my detailed study of comparable countries to Nigeria. In Egypt, I am expected to understudy, among others, the Egyptian Power Sector, Education, Planning and Finance Sectors”. He tweeted.
While many of Peter Obi’s supporters praised him for the trip and said it was part of his purposeful effort to bring change to the Nigerian system in all quarters, others chastised him and said he shouldn’t have left the country at this time.
Fellow presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore also threw jabs at Peter Obi for travelling to Egypt to understudy their systems.
Sowore who is also vying for the presidential seat under the African Action Congress (AAC) tackled Peter Obi for only just taking the trip 9 months to the presidential election.
According to him, Peter was a two-time governor of Anambra state yet he’s just seeking to study the working systems of a foreign country.
Reacting to the controversy, filmmaker Umoren, in a tweet, stated that he has seen more takes on Obi’s travel itinerary than the ones President Muhammadu Buhari has taken.
“I’ve seen more takes on Peter Obi’s travel itinerary than on any of the numerous ones Buhari took. One of them is the President”, he tweeted.

2023: Actor, Okon Lagos reveals he will sell his votes at the ‘right price’ (video)
Popular Nollywood actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh otherwise known as Okon Lagos, has said he will sell his vote to any politician willing to pay the ‘right price’.
He made this declaration in a video shared on his Instagram page while speaking on the 2023 general elections and the vote-buying antics of some politicians.
According to Okon, such politicians pay citizens to vote for them once in four years and it’s only fair for him to collect enough money to sustain him until the next election season.
The 40-year-old comic actor said he would willingly sell his vote at $1000/day, and went on to calculate the total amount he would collect for four years.
He said there are 365 days in one year and when multiplied by four years, it gives 1,460 days. He then multiplied 1,460 days by his said price/day and it amounts to $1,460,000.
The actor said he would offer the politician an exchange rate of N500 to a dollar and when the total amount is converted to naira, his selling price becomes N730 million.
According to him, that should be enough to fend for himself and his family till the next election season when politicians will start canvassing for votes again.

“It was God that saved me” — Actor, Emeka Ike speaks on being a victim of abuse in marriage
Veteran Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has taken to social media to reveal that he was once a victim of abuse in his marriage.
It would be recalled that the actor got separated from his wife, Suzanne Emma, in 2015 after she filed for a divorce on grounds of domestic violence.
However, they got officially divorced in 2017 and he proceeded to have a lowkey wedding with a South African model, Yolanda Pfeiffer, whom he is still married to.
Well, the 55-year-old actor recently shared his opinion on abuse in marriage and stated that women tend to be more abusive in marriage which explains why men usually die first.
According to him, he was a victim of abuse in his marriage and it was God that saved him.
However, he didn’t disclose if he was referring to his first or second marriage.
Emeka commented,
“Pls, pls do your research well. Most women abuse men more lately. They don’t love again. Most of them marry you for your money and make your life miserable, if not kill you.
I was a victim. Why are kidnappers and armed robbers wives not crying out? Why must it be very rich and successful men lately? Violent men are in the cover while this “kill and get rich” model spreads unrecognized.
Not saying there are no deadbeat men but the increase on the other gender manipulative edge is totally ignored. Why do men have to always die before women in marriage? Ask your father. Ask your grand father. That’s if they are still alive to tell you things.
Pls, pls lets stop encouraging this wicked, misleading and greedy women, with this mudane top. Na God save me.”
“There’s nothing else a man can give a woman apart from money” – Relationship Expert, Blessing Okoro (video)
Popular relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, has sparked a debate online after she noted that there’s nothing a man can give a woman apart from money.
In a recent social media post, the Break or Makeup founder, who is popular for giving her hot takes on relationships, averred that a man’s sole responsibility is to provide for his woman.
She claimed when a man is not giving his woman money, then he’s not interested in the relationship and is only wasting her time as men stay where they invest their money.
According to her, men are natural providers and are not created to do much for a woman except provide for her. She added that it’s a woman that is created to multi-task.
She urged women to allow their men to do their responsibilities, which is to provide.
In her words,
“If a man does not give you money what will he be doing with you, absolutely nothing. he’ll just be draining y. When a man isn’t giving you money he’s going to be wasting your time, because there nothing a man can give a woman apart from money. Men are providers, that is how God has built them, provision is a sense of responsibility for men. Men cannot do so much for a woman, its a woman that is built to multi-task. His job is to provide for you, it gives a man a sense of happiness and excitement to provide for his woman. Love comes with giving, if your man is stingy to you, it simply means he doesn’t love you. Allow a man do his responsibility, the responsibility of a man is to provide for you”.

This comes in the wake of England being embarrassed in a 4-0 loss at the Molineux last night against Hungary in front of the home support at Wolves’ ground, amounting to the second time in ten days that the national side has been blanked by the Magyars.
It was the fourth consecutive match that England failed to secure three points in during UEFA Nations League play in Group A, with the other two results amounting to a 1-1 draw against Germany in Munich, and a 0-0 draw against Italy, also at the Molineux, seeing England bag just one goal in 360-minutes of football.
England now sits dead last in their Nations League group, and though the World Cup in Qatar is five months away, questions continue to be asked regarding whether or not Southgate is the right man for the job.

But Southgate has intended to use the recent criticism and ‘strange narrative’ as fuel for the mid-season tournament starting in November.
“Would it make Qatar sweeter? Well, no, you know, to be successful in Qatar would be sweet whatever happens.”
“Of course, I’ll use it as fuel. Because when you have disappointment and you read negativity and feel the mood, you of course want to fight and prove people wrong. But I’ve done that all my life, so that there’s not an extra incentive because of a night like tonight.”
“I know nights like this can happen. They’re not pleasant. They’re not enjoyable. I’ve seen it with others. But they are the realities of football. I have found the 10 days strange in terms of the narrative, as I found the last Nations League strange because I think the context was clear. And I didn’t agree with everything that was suggested.”
For a nation tipped as one of the likely favorites in Qatar, England certainly has not looked the part of late after comfortably smashing their World Cup qualifying section before beating both Switzerland (2-1) and Ivory Coast (3-0) in a pair of friendlies back in March.
Headlined by the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka, the fact that England has managed just a single goal against credible opposition in the form of Germany and Italy, and an underrated Hungary outfit, questions could certainly be asked if Southgate’s tactical schematic will stand the test of time come the World Cup.
Despite that, England still is in the hunt for striking the right tactical balance according to Southgate, who seems unphased by recent criticism and remains confident moving forward.
“…And I think some of the desire to see open play… we saw tonight that you’ve got to have the balance of a team right. And you’ve got to get those decisions right. And with a club, maybe if you’re at the top, and you’ve got a long time working with the players, you can play a more expensive game.”
“But I think even the top teams, they’re bloody good defensively, they’re good on transition, the balance of everything is right. So I think the idea that we can just play lots of attacking players and rely on talent to win matches, it’s not the way it is. And, you know, that was a reminder to myself tonight in the second half that okay, that’s a gamble. You go for a gamble to try to win the game because you think that’s important. But what happened can happen.”
Chelsea are ready to rival Manchester United for the signing of Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries this summer, according to reports coming out of Italy.
Both clubs are in need of a right back, with the Blues looking for cover for Reece James while the Red Devils are looking for a first choice option, and it appears that the both pairs of eyes have been drawn to the Dutchman.
Dumfries has only been at San Siro for one season, when an impressive Euro2020 convinced them to bring him to the club as a replacement for Achraf Hakimi. However, his stock has continued to steadily rise, with the 26 year old grabbing 5 goals and 5 assists in 33 Serie A outings in his maiden campaign.
Goal.com reports that Inter Milan, who are keen to take Romelu Lukaku on loan, are unwilling to offer Dumfries in exchange for the Belgian striker despite Chelsea’s attempts.
‘The Blues are trying to leverage the situation to poach one of Inter’s defenders”, they claim.
“But the Serie A club are not wanting to include any of Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni or Denzel Dumfries”.
£21m bids mooted
Now, as per Gazetta dello Sport, Chelsea and Manchester United have both been quoted around 40m euros to prise the player away from Inter, with the Italian side needing to turn a profit of around 60m euros this summer and keen to do so by offloading as few players as possible.
At present, however, only Chelsea have made an offer, and that was of just 25m euros (£21m). Well below the valuation set by the Serie A side. Whether or not a compromise will be reached or whether Manchester United will swoop in is expected to become clear in the coming days.

Europa Conference League-bound West Ham is closing in on a deal for Stade Rennais and Moroccan international center-back Nayef Aguerd.
According to reports by The Telegraph’s Sam Dean, the Hammers are within striking distance of securing the 26-year-old Kénitra-native as their first signing of the summer window as David Moyes looks to bring in vital defensive reinforcements ahead of the 2022-23 Premier League season.

West Ham suffered mightily last season regarding a lack of depth across a number of key areas in the first-team squad, including being thin in the heart of the defense.
That deficiency was exacerbated when key defender Kurt Zouma went down injured and subsequently missed out on ten matches between 6 December and 17 January during the busiest part of the domestic calendar for West Ham.
Adding Aguerd to the Hammers ranks would plug a huge hole in the team under Moyes, who at the time of writing, can count on just the aforementioned Zouma as well as veteran duo Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson, in addition to Issa Diop and youngster Aji Alese.
The same report in the Telegraph does mention that any completed deal for Aguerd could trigger the departure of Diop, however, with the Frenchman having just one year left on his deal at the London Stadium on the back of still having failed to truly nail down a first-choice role for the Premier League outfit.
Aguerd is said to set West Ham back around £25million but could be seen as a very prudent investment by the club after the Moroccan has been a strong performer for the Brittany-based side after making a combined 80 appearances in all competitions across the last two seasons.
Viewed as an upgrade on Ogbonna and Dawson and with experience in both the Champions League and Conference League, West Ham could have a very good under-the-radar signing on their hands.

Premier League tighten postponement rules to avoid North London derby repeat
The Premier League have announced that they have tightened what qualifies a side for a postponement in the wake of a plagued season that highlighted potential loopholes in their old legislation.
21 games were postponed, while Liverpool’s Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal was also rearranged following Melwood training ground being forced to close amid a covid scare just days before the initial date.
However, the most controversial postponement was Arsenal’s request to postpone their clash with Tottenham at the Tottenham Stadium in January, amid just a single COVID-19 case and while simultaneously letting players leave the club mid-season.
It was something that Tottenham railed against in an extraordinary club statement, claiming that “The original intention of the guidance – here – was to deal with player availability directly affected by COVID cases, resulting in depleted squads that, when taken together with injuries, would result in the club being unable to field a team.
We do not believe it was the intent to deal with player availability unrelated to COVID.
We may now be seeing the unintended consequences of this rule.”
Now, the rules have been updated to mitigate against this, with the governing body warning that “Approval will only be granted where the impact of player unavailability on a club’s squad is truly exceptional and where the club concerned has taken all reasonable steps to avoid the necessity to make the application.”
With a World Cup also on the horizon, it could well mean that clubs require even larger squads, while youth players could also feature more prominently with the introduction of five substitutes.
The statement in full
“Ahead of Season 2022-23, the Premier League Board has revised its guidance for match postponements relating to insufficient players.
This will replace the previous COVID-19 match postponement guidance, providing a standard process for applications.
Club requests to the Premier League Board will continue to be considered on their facts and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Approval will only be granted where the impact of player unavailability on a club’s squad is truly exceptional and where the club concerned has taken all reasonable steps to avoid the necessity to make the application.
The detail within all applications will continue to be scrutinised by the League’s specialist staff before the Board makes its decision.
The League’s postponement rules and guidance are designed to protect the wellbeing of players and staff, while maintaining the sporting integrity of the competition and the quality of squads playing League matches.”

Inter Milan ‘increasingly confident’ of Romelu Lukaku loan return as hefty loan fee slashed
Inter Milan are increasingly confident of landing Romelu Lukaku on a season long loan, just 12 months after they sold him to Chelsea for 100m euros.
The striker became both the Italian side’s record sale and the Blues’ record signing when he made the switch last summer after a prolific season in Serie A. However, he had a torrid time at Stamford Bridge, and by November had already admitted he was longing for a return to Italy.
Come the end of the season, he had registered just 8 Premier League goals, and set a new record for the fewest touches in a game when Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in February.
Now, however, it seems as though his west London nightmare may be coming to an end, with Inter ‘increasingly confident’ of a loan move for the 29 year old, as per the reliable Nizaar Kinsella.
This comes as Chelsea have shown willingness to compromise on what was an initially demanded 25m euro loan fee, with an agreement expected to be struck at a much more reasonable £10m, with Lukaku ‘pushing hard’ for an exit.

— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) June 15, 2022
There is work still to be done, however- Inter Milan offered just £6m in the most recent round of talks, though all parties suggest that they were ‘positive’. It now seems to be a matter of when, not if, a loan deal is struck.
What next for Chelsea?
A move away for Lukaku will see Chelsea looking for a third striker in as many seasons, with both Lukaku and Timo Werner having flattered to deceive. They could make a move for Gabriel Jesus, but that ship may sail if they drag their feet with Arsenal and Tottenham also thought to be keen on the Brazilian and Jesus himself wanting a quick outcome this summer.
Alternatively, they could promote Kai Havertz to their no.1 option to lead the line, and use youth talent Armando Broja as backup following his impressive loan spell with Southampton.

Spanish international midfielder Fabián Ruiz has once again cast fresh doubt regarding his future with Serie A side SSC Napoli this summer as the former Real Betis youth graduate goes into the final year of his contract at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, potentially setting off alarm bells in the Arsenal camp.
According to reports from Italian media outlets 1 Football Club and CalcioNapoli24 (cited by SportBible) through journalist Paolo Bargiggia, “The club is, in fact, having a tough approach on Fabián. The player wants to leave the team, so Napoli will listen to important offers, or he’ll be relegated to the bench, as he’ll be excluded from the club’s project. I bring back the interest from Arsenal and Juventus, even if the ‘Bianconeri’ cannot make proposals worth €30-40 million.”
Napoli have reportedly opened the doors for Arsenal to sign midfielder Fabian Ruiz this summer. 🤔🇪🇸 #afc https://t.co/NjWvHwcytj
— afcstuff (@afcstuff) June 15, 2022
This could open the door for Arsenal to potentially renew interest in Ruiz (26), who could present a possible alternative in central midfield for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
Per the latest reports surrounding the Gunners’ interest in Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, Arsenal are expected to complete a deal for the Belgian international by the end of the month as Arteta and club technical director Edu Gaspar has prioritized the former RSC Anderlecht stand-out as a key piece of the summer transfer strategy along with Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
But despite Arsenal having a clear path to Tielemans after Tottenham has pushed for Brighton’s Yves Bissouma, Ruiz could be an interesting option for the Gunners to reconsider if the price point is considerably lower than what the north London giants could be made to shell out for the Belgian star.
Ruiz has been everpresent for I Partenopei for the past four seasons after his breakout 2017-18 La Liga campaign with Betis, and has gone on to feature on 166-occasions across all competitions while adding 22 goals and a further 15-assists.
A versatile central player, Ruiz is capable of being deployed as a traditional 8, in a deeper 6 role, or further forward in a central-attacking capacity which could afford Arteta a slightly more tactically flexible profile in the Spaniard, but given the strength of the links in Tielemans, any possible move for Ruiz would hinge on a complete breakdown in the Gunners pursuit of the key Foxes’ player.
