BBA The-Chase Diary: Fatima Breaks Down

Anonymous15:17

Fatima broke down and burst into tears uncontrollably in the middle of her Diary session. This came as a surprise because the Malawian Housemate has positioned herself as the tough cookie of The Chase who is always there to comfort her fellow Housemates. Is she losing her iron fist character?

Fatima told Biggie that she had been disturbed by a conversation she had with Bassey when the Sierra Leonean confided in her on some very sensitive news that he assured he had never told a soul. This got Fatima thinking that as much as Housemates were in The Chase to win the grand USD 300 000, most of them were running away from something on the outside world that they could not share with just anybody.

Realising the sensitivity of the issue, Big Brother didn’t push Fatima to disclose the details of their conversation but gave her some time to gather her thoughts and compose herself off air. Big Brother also confirmed that a professional would be made available and reminded her she can always talk to Big Brother. Fatima confirmed that she had also given Bassey the same advice but still felt bad that there was nothing she could do to help him.

This is evidence that the Big Brother House is not always fun and games, some Housemates find it hard to cope with a lot of issues and thanks to the Diary Room, they can always share their problems with Big Brother.

Could Fatima be losing herself or is she just being human?

Meet the Nigerian American Man That Could One Day Be US President

Anonymous15:16

His name is John Olumba and he was born in Detroit, Michigan to a father who hails from Owerri, Imo State. The 31 year old dapper politician is quickly rising in the political sphere of the United States with a current run for the Mayor of Detroit.

His political credentials are impeccable and in an ironic twist, this young man of Nigerian origin is responsible for bringing down corrupt politicians in the United States.

According to his Wikipedia page and other reports widely available on the internet, Olumba initiated investigations into corrupt county executives (the equivalent of Nigerian local government chairmen) that led to convictions for corruption and misappropriation of public funds.

His wikipedia page also reveals, “In August 2010, Olumba won the state’s most crowded primary with 16 people seeking office by a 2 to 1 margin over the closest competitor. Olumba was elected in November 2010 in a landslide victory to serve in the 96th legislature of the State of Michigan. Although Olumba is a native of Detroit, Olumba’s father migrated to Detroit from Africa as a student-activist during the Nigerian Civil War and, once elected, Olumba became the first Nigerian elected to a state office in Michigan history.”

He is married with three daughters and is also a licensed minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

BREAKING: Actress Laide Bakare May Go To Jail

Anonymous15:15

The last may not have been heard in the ongoing war between Nollywood popular actress, Laide Bakare and her estranged husband, Olumide Okunfulire. This is because US-based businessman has vowed to slug it out with the delectable actress over the paternity of the child she claimed to have bore for her new hubby, Tunde Oriowo.

The Ondo State-born dude has reportedly told his lawyers to institute a lawsuit against Laide. Olumighty, as Okunfulire is fondly called by friends, allegedly said that Laide will have to answer if truly she got court judgement, which dissolved their marriage before she got married to Oriowo, her new husband.

Olumide maintained that Laide’s new baby boy belongs to him, adding that she became pregnant in his house. He also claimed that the actress registered at the US hospital, where she eventually gave birth, with his name and Green Card.

With the way things are going, Laide might be charged for bigamy and if found guilty by the court, she risks jail term.
Industry sources told First Weekly that Okunfulire may drop charges against Laide if the actress realises her mistakes and beg for forgiveness.

“I can tell you that Olumide (Okunfulire) is only trying to shake Laide. He just wants to make life unbearable for her, Laide is aware of this, which is why she has not responded to the ‘noise’ Olumide has been making since the news of her child birth hit town,” a source informed us.

Meanwhile, those in the camp of Laide have disclosed that Tunde is the real father of the baby. They claimed that Laide and Tunde had been an item for sometime before they decided to solemnise the relationship with a secret wedding and that she was actually pregnant for him before then. Pictures were sent to us to back up the claim. The actress is still in the USA with her baby and new husband as at press time.
