A fan of the The Big Brother Naija Housemate Emmanuel Umoh with the instagram username @nelsonetok recently shared his hyper realistic drawing of Emmanuel to the excitement of fans.

Nelson who is also called Wicked senator has also created drawings for other superstars such as Don Jazzy and the rest.

There was a lot of buzz on the two opening nights of The Brother Nigeria season 6 show.

Many of the housemates brought their A games from the opening night and there was a lot of buss on each one.

A survey just released by ID Africa showed that the former Ideal Nigeria winner and current Mister Africa, Emmanuel was the most talked about housemate of the opening night with close to 49 percent of the total Twitter impressions. White money an unapologetic Igbo business man was the second most talked about housemate with 38 percent of the impressions.

Let's watch and see if this impression will continue for the rest of the season

There was a mild Twitter drama as one of the new house mates of #BBNaijaSeason6 Emmanuel was thought to have said he is homophobic.

The 24 year old Mr Ideal Nigeria and Mr Africa International gathered a lot of fans immediately walking into the house. However what caused a bit of confusion was his introduction video where he said he was aerophobic which some followers on Twitter misconstrued as homophobic.

Emmanuel who loves tourism and flies regularly has always been open about his fear of flying and how he deals with his Aerophobia whenever he has to make a trip.

It’s the dramaaaaa for us ☕️ �

You do realise that picture is a digital model also called a computer generated model and not a real picture. The idu station is of the Lagos model . Have we come to the point where we now pass off computer images as how Nigeria looks for clout or for politics. BTW, these counties have moved to speed trains and electric trains, so no one will have confused these pics for Tokyo or Dubai. Not especially when these kinda trains in these countries are being phased out

Edo born model, Eric Eghosa also known as Rickie beat over a hundred models to win the recently held Model Look Africa Competition. Held and streamed live on Instagram last Saturday.

Also in the finals were Seyi Araga, Saheed Tofunmi and Adetola Solaja who came second, third and fourth respectively.

Denrele Edun, Elozonam and Anire bring the glitz and glamour of Lagos to Jollof, a show premiering on Pop Central this June.

A brand new lifestyle show, Jollof, is coming to TVs nationwide this June on Pop Central station, DSTV 189. The show is hosted by the amazing trio of Denrele Edun, BBN’s Elozonam, and THE Anire, serving us a delightful and perfect blend of tasty gist, saucy fun and glamour, the Jollof style.

Jollof is a youth-led and centred prime time show that is bringing the zest of Lagos life onto the big screen. It is a weekly snack-sized look into the urban culture that defines Lagos living.



Speaking about the show’s inspiration, host, Denrele said, “The secret ingredient to Jollof is history, it is in our DNA, the precursor is embedded in every Nigerian’s DNA, but Lagos brings the smoke,” he added that, “we are highlighting that perennial swagger that Nigerians have, that vibe everyone loves to consume in African pop culture and wish they can replicate. Call it a service to Mother Africa, hopefully our Ghanaian brothers can replicate this particular Jollof.”

Join the Trio every Sunday at 5 pm as they storm glitzy Lagos hangouts, from the Basement Gig to veteran actor Ayo Adesanya’s birthday party, and bring our share of fresh Nigerian Jollof on Pop Central station, DSTV 189.

As we count down to the end of 2019 and an end of 2010’s decade let me take you to an alphabetical rundown of events that stood out and had both positive and negative impacts on us.
Mind you, there are tons and tons of events and activities that stood out, but for want of space I will just alphabetically summarize and hopefully you grab my magazine (9ineteen) to see an extensive cover of the major events that happened from 2010 to 2019 (globally and locally)
Shall we begin?

A- Apple’s first iPad came out with a bang in April of 2010; and AR mobile game was launched in July 2016.

B-Bin Laden’s death in 2011 ended 10 years of terror and manhunt. And the Boston marathon bombing in 2013 shook our generation.

C-Chibok girls kidnap, by boko haram in April of 2014 has left a permanent scare on us all; (as Leah Sharibu is yet to be found). The #bringbackourgirls got the whole globe hastaging.

D-Death of President Umaru Yar’ Adua in May of 2010 left a big blow on Nigerian’s. And drugs became our biggest woes of this decade.

E- Ebola epidemic became a global health crisis and killed some of our best in 2014. Also, emoji’s come out in February of 2015 became our new normal.

F- Facebook had a backlash in March of 2018, for giving out 50 million of its users and data for President Trump’s campaign in 2016.

G- Gay marriage happened first in England and Wales and this decade saw a lot of gay people openly coming out. And who can forget “Gangnam style” dance craze in July of 2012 and of course Game of Throne sequel from 2011 to its final season in 2019.

H-Haiti’s devastating earthquake on the 12th of January, 2010 struck deep and left over 230,000 deaths.

I-Instagram, instablog, etc. Yes, this decade gave us new ways of fame and fortune.

J-Jobs and the redefined technology. Steve Jobs (late), co-founder of Apple was our biggest gift this decade, though death snatched him. RIP Mr. Jobs

K- Kyle Jenner named the youngest billionaire by Forbes. 21 year old self made billionaire impacted her generation big time.

L- Lady Gaga and Lance Armstrong gave us the highs and lows of this decade. Lance admitted of using performance drugs in 2013 and Lady Gaga giving us back to back music and crazy unforgettable fashion.

M- Marvel studious gave us back to back avalanche of movies this decade. From Captain America, to Thor, to Black Panther, the list goes on and on.

N- Nigerian 2015 and 2019 presidential elections were quite significant. And Nelson Mandela’s death on the 5th of December 2013 was eventful.

O- Olamide’s debut into Nigerian music changed the face and got the whole world singing and dancing to lyrics we know not the meaning. Lol

P- Plane crashes and disappearances across the globe deeply saddened us in this 2010’s.

Q- Queen Zozibini Tunzi, a South African winning the 68th Miss Universe this year is inspiring our teenage girls.

R- Royal weddings and royal babies, who can forget them all! Plus R Kelly’s multiple sexual allegations; hmmmm. Sad.

S- Simone Biles becomes the most decorated gymnast in history. And she’s a teenager. Amazing.

T- Technology, Twitter, Tik Tok and many other social media platforms got us connecting. And of course Tacha wars. Hahahaha

U-United States presidential election in November of 2016 got not just America, but the whole world super divided as Donald Trump emerges winner.

V- Vladimir Putin is on the list of top 10 most influential people of the 21st century.
Windows 10 was released by Microsoft on the 29th of July, 2015. The death of Whitney Houston left us all dumbfounded.

X- Xenophobic attacks docked the African continent throughout this decade. Then comes Xbox and Xender

Y-Yul Edozie’s narrow escape from death left us reflecting on life and what matters most.

Z- Zain Ejiofor Asher, our Nigerian sister making us proud on CNN.

In what has been a superlative year in the career of the ‘Ye’ crooner, the TFAA win would go a long way in cementing his place as the most successful music artiste in the year following previous wins at the 2019 edition of AFRIMA, the 13th Headies and a grammy nomination among others.

The Inspiration fm OAP and life coach Chi Umeaeaka popularly called Aunty Chi has launched a new reality TV show for teenagers, Teen Times.

The Teen Times will see teenagers from different backgrounds camped in a house for over a week where they will partake in games and challenges that will intellectually and mentally task them.


Aunty Chi who is also the founder of the Nineteen foundation revealed the idea behind the show is to use a popular format and tap into the reality TV show buzz to create a positive impact on the Nigerian teenagers oand future generation of leaders..

According to our constitution, a Nigerian Youth is 18-35.

Its quite unfortunate that in a list of 43 ministers you only have one person that is below 45. Just one person,and he is even 44.

Its even quite unfortunate that you know this and yet you choose to criticise intelligent people who pointed out the fact that a nation whose youth form the largest demography could only muster one person who is in his mid forties in a 43 man ministerial nominee.

You may decide to ass lick and defend the president, but don't do that to the detriment of our collective intelligence and yours too.
