The Big Brother Naija season 3 premiered on 28th of January 2018, with 20 housemates. [See their profiles here]

Now, in the spirit of throwback, we bring you the FIRST EVER SET of Housemates of the Big Brother Nigeria season1..

https://www.reportnaija.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bbnn-0-1.jpg

The show, which featured 14 contestants with $100,000 prize money, was won by Katung Aduwak, while Sandra Osaigbovo and others came in as runners-up.

Many of the former housemates have since moved on to various pursuits — some into private businesses which have kept them out of the spotlight, while others remained in the limelight.

Here’s a bit about what seven of the 14 housemates have been up to 11 years after:

Katung Aduwak
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Katung-Aduwak-1024x576.jpg
We all cannot forget that moment when 26-year-old Katung was announced the winner. His win was surprising since he came into the house after the second eviction and won about 80 percent of the tasks. He and his co-housemate, Sandy, were kept in isolation with no external contact and zero access to TV or news for three weeks before being introduced to the show.
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Katung6.jpg
Katung proceeded to New York to get a directorial degree from the Digital Film Academy, after which he returned to Nigeria and worked on several projects. He produced and directed the movies Unwanted Guest and Heaven’s Hell.

He also directed a number of music videos for Chocolate City, Styl Plus, Gabriel Afolayan and starred in EbonyLife TV’s Desperate Housewives. Currently, Katung is the Senior Channel Manager MTV Base and Executive Director at Chocolate City.
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Ebuka-Obi-Uchendu-1.jpg
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu

He is perhaps the most prominent face on the entertainment scene since leaving the Big Brother House. Ebuka won our hearts with his charming smile and witty personality. Although he did not win the show, he went on to write for a number of newspapers and magazines and anchor events before taking a break to go back to school for his master’s degree in Law.

Since his return to the scene in 2011, there has been no stopping him!
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Ebuka6.jpg
Ebuka has become a media personality of note, contributing to several online publications and hosting several events.

In 2013, he was announced as the new host of Rubbin’ Minds, a youth-focused TV show on Channels Television and is also one of the co-hosts of The Spot, a show that combines a bit of reality TV with talk show and sitcom, showing on EbonyLife TV on DStv channel 165 alongside Lamide Akintobi and Zainab Balogun.
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bbnn-0.jpg
He has won several awards and has been honored by the Federal Government among Top 100 Young Nigerians to mark Nigeria’s centenary celebration in 2014.

Gideon Okeke
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/gideon-2.jpg

https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Gideon2.jpg
His acting prowess has earned him a number of accolades and recognition, including an award for Best Actor in a TV series (Drama) Nigerian Entertainment Award in 2010 and a nomination for Best Actor in a Drama in the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Award (AMVCA) in 2015.
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Gideon6.jpg
He has been a part of big budget stage productions such as critically acclaimed SARO The Musical (2014). He has also hosted several TV shows and events and is the CEO of a media outfit, AppleBox.

Frank Konwea
https://madailygist.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bb-0.jpg
Known for his ‘loud-mouthed-ness’ in the house, Frank continued his career as a professional dancer, performing at several shows and concerts. He was also a judge on a popular dance TV show.

The Big Brother phenomenon presents a platform of endless possibilities. It holds the appeal of catapulting ‘ordinary’ people from different walks of life into super-stardom. Some of these individuals didn’t even know the extent to which this road will take them, but they were willing and brave enough to take the plunge!

So, come January 2017, the country and, indeed, the whole of Africa, will be introduced to a new set of talents who would be on the road to stardom.

Veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) on Thursday advised people searching for true love on social media to be cautious so as not to fall into the snare lies of `I love you`.

RMD in his Instagram page on the social media said this advice was necessary as the Valentine Season usually celebrated on Feb.14 on an annual basis draws closer.

The former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta said that he wanted to share his intellectual, motivational and thoughtful insights to guide appropriately those finding love on the internet to guide them against being jilted.

He said on his Instagram page, “ If I wasn’t the six foot, successful, famous, good-looking RMD, will you still love me?
“If not for the level of fame I have achieved and the success tied to my brand; will you still scream my name?
“If I was a middle-aged, grey-bearded, emaciated applicant hoping to be your driver, will you give me a second look?

“If I was a half-literate Warri boy who said ‘Nyam’ instead of Yam, “Shorsh” instead of Church and “I chock” instead of “I was shocked”, will you not mock and laugh at my speech?

“If I, as RMD, fell on hard times, lost my fame and fortune, became helpless and hopeless, will you show any sympathy?
“I asked, not because I do not know the answers but so that he that has ears will hear and hopefully learn a thing or maybe, two, “he said.

He continued by saying, “In your desire to be loved and accepted, it is important to ask yourselves how much of the love and admiration are thrown at you are genuine.

“Know that many do not love you; they love the idea of you.

“It is the same people who sing your praises when you’re up, that tear you apart when you stumble and stomp on you when you fall.

“Don’t let the number of followers you have, the likes and comments on your pictures or the hype fool you, one wrong move and the vultures will swoop down to feast.

“This is why I appreciate the love but stay super selective when it comes to letting people in. I keep my circle small, in fact, very small.

“I keep my private life, private and thank God for the grace to also keep my public life private.

“Don’t put yourself out there and start crying foul when it blows up in your face and stop trying to sit with the cool kids, you are the cool kid. Know this and elevate above the clique mentality.

“This is really the truth, you only gain attention because of what you are achieving, “he said.

I was asked to come on Wednesday, to seek his bail. At about 2 am on Wednesday, the police brought him home. But at that time, my husband was already emitting foams from his mouth. He could not move any part of his body. All efforts to revive him proved abortive.

The president and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari has appointed renowned magnate and activist Emperor Chris Baywood Ibe as a board chairman; one of over 200 recently appointed, following a statement released by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.



Chris Baywood was appointed as the Chairman for the Nigerian Institute For Oil Palm Research (NIFOR) Benin – a position the business mogul has shown appreciation for, promising a steadfast growth and significant uplift in the research and production of oil palm in the country, to benefit the Nigerian citizens and the country at large.



Expressing his vision with his newly assumed position, the President Baywood Continental Ltd wrote on social media; “The restitution of Nigeria as a nation has been a goal I’ve always worked indefatigably towards materializing – and as the Chairman of the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research, Benin, I solemnly assure the people of this great nation; there would be significant progression. Palm oil is one of our country’s most imperative utilitarian resources, and I will work towards the conservation of this beautiful resource we’ve been blessed with.”



Chris Baywood Ibe made headlines a few months back, after announcing plans to provide medical care for over 10,000 people in Enugu, under his company’s Baywood Foundation; an NGO established by the philanthropist with the sole purpose of bettering the lives of Nigerians.

Chris Baywood has consistently described his goal to make a formidable impact in the lives of Nigerians and the country at large as his priority and with this appointment; he would be able to further fulfill the projected goals for the benefit of the country.

Breast cancer patient, Bridget Gunduor and her husband Atule Kile Gunduo were joined in Holy Matrimony Sunday at Foundation Hospital Makurdi where she is currently undergoing her treatment.

According to activist, Ukan Kurugh, he met Bridget last September through one Mrs Uke Dukek.

"We started treatment a month after and even though the Drs had explained to me that her cancer was at an advance stage, I stood my ground believing God she will make it. We spent alot of money on her because Nigerians came all out to assist her. Today she and her husband her taking marital vows at the moment at Foundation Hospital Makurdi were she is still undergoing her cancer treatment. A priest is currently doing a mass for her and darling husband." he wrote.

In an update captioned: 50 YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE, MR. GUNDUOR WEDS BRIDGET ON HER HOSPITAL BED, RESOLVE TO LIVE MORE HAPPILY, Kurugh shared more details tails about the couple, appealing for well meaning individuals to assist the woman as her condition has deteriorated. Read below:

"Mrs. Bridget Gundor who for a couple of Months (September 2017 till date) has been at the Foundation Memorial Hospital, Makurdi due to breast cancer complications that have reached a regrettable level today, January 21st, 2018 wedded the love of her life, Mr. Atule Kile Gunduor, with whom they have been married for over 50 years and have raised 8 children out of whom 4 are living.

The occasion which took place at the Foundation Hospital earlier today was attended by family members, well wishers and admirers. The in-pains woman and her aged husband were joined in holy matrimony and blessed. In his sermon, the priest explained that, no time was late to come back to God and that, though the couple had lived together for a golden age without being wedded, it was only right to grant them the sacrament now that they were ready for it and urged them to live happily.

It was indeed a pathetic show of emotions as the couple exchanged marital vows and did the necessary as regards wedding. They signed the wedding certificate and received ovation from those who were present. Indeed, they fulfilled the agelong adage that, "it is never too late to do the right thing.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Bridget's breast condition has reached a fearsome level where survival is hardly contemplated. I urge you all good men and women of the earth, to come to the humble woman's aid so that, her walk on this stage can be elongated and made more meaningful. You have always done me proud and I believe strongly that, even at this instance too, help will to come. May God bless us all.
Happy Married Life to the latest couple in town.

“Gov. Masari has succeeded in transforming education, infrastructure and health sectors in the state within the last two years,” he stressed.

He described Buhari as God send, stressing that prior to the advent of his administration, people in northeast were experiencing hell due to the activities of Boko Haram insurgents in the region.

Lawal commended Buhari’s effort to diversify the economy and instilled discipline in public life.

“The anti corruption crusade of the Federal Government has been yielding results as looted funds are being recovered.”

The commissioners Justice, Ahmad Al-Murzuk and his counterpart for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Abu Dankum, in their speeches, described the decision of the movement as timely.

The visit was like a carnival as different ethnic groups displayed their cultural dances and attires.

The non-indigenes stated that their support for Governor Wike stems from his outstanding developmental strides which have improved their standard of living.

Spokesman of the Igbo Community in Rivers State, Chief Emeka Vitalis said that the Igbos will vote enmasse for Governor Wike because his development projects have helped their businesses to grow.

In his remarks, Alhaji Omotayo of the Yoruba Community and Henry Iyoha of the Edo/Delta Community in Rivers State said their endorsements of the Rivers State Governor stems from commitment to the welfare of all residents of the state.

The Bayelsa community in Rivers, represented by Agbai Tom , the Akwa Ibom/Cross River State community in Rivers State led by Obong Godwin Inyang and the Muslim community in the state led by Hajia Mariam also announced their respectice endorsements for the re-election of Governor Wike.

Spokesman of the Hausa Community, Alhaji Maisundu said the Hausa Community will mobilise votes for Governor Wike in 2019 because he is a de-tribalised leader.

Commissioner of Special Duties, Emeka Onowu who is a non-indigene noted that Rivers State Governor has been a father to the non-indigenes, carrying them along as he develops the State.

Responding, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike assured the non-indigenes that he will continue to deliver quality projects and programmes that will improve the lives of residents of the state.

He declared that all residents of Rivers State should remain resolute in their commitment to PDP, saying that they should not fear the evil machinations of the APC.

Governor Wike said because the people have discovered that the APC is full of lies and deceit, the Party will resort to rigging in 2019. He said they will fail in Rivers State.

He said: "Nobody should be afraid of anyone. Anyhow they want it, we are ready. There is nothing like do or die in this election, only God gives power. We believe in God , that is why we always defeat them.

"Whether they go to the United States of America or North Korea to bring anything, we shall withstand them. The only weapon you have is your voters card. Mobilise and use your voters card , that is the weapon that will remove them from office".

He regretted that after two and half years, the APC Federal Government has no single project in Rivers State. He said the State will be a no-go area for them in 2019.

He said contrary to the allegations of the APC ahead of the 2015 General elections, he has proved that Rivers State is a home for all by carrying the non-indigenes along through appointments and projects.

"I will always fulfill my promises. I will never give excuses. I am not like the APC that thrives in excuses. My commitment remains to deliver on projects", Governor Wike said.

The governor said that he will respond to the request to seek re-election at the appropriate time.
