Big Brother Naija All-Stars

It’s just a few days into the first week of Season 8 of Big Brother Naija tagged “All Stars,” and we have not been disappointed. From the selection of the present housemates to the buzz on social media, this season is turning out to be one that fans will enjoy.

In the short few days since its premiere, so much has happened. In case you missed it, here are a few highlights.

Cee cee, Alex Renew Beef

It’s no secret that Cee-C and Alex have a constant rivalry going on but we didn’t expect to see it unfold so early in the show. On Wednesday, Alex and Cee-C accused each other of being responsible for failing the ‘movie shoot’ task. Alex accused Cee-C of not fully participating in the task while Ceec accused Alex of not providing materials needed to contribute to the task since she was voted as the director for the movie shoot. This led to a war of words that grew very heated. It’s just a few days into the show and the drama has already began.

Uriel unleashes her claws.

Quiet and calm Uriel shocked Biggie and fans of the reality TV show when she dared Biggie to evict her from the house, stating that she would create a scene. During her diary session with Biggie, Uriel responded to Biggie’s question on who she thinks will get evicted by saying, “I pray it is not me because you will be needing 25 ninjas to carry me out. I will not go. I will be the first housemate in Big Brother Naija history to reject eviction. Not my portion.”

Adekunle Emerges First Head of House

Fans were amazed at Adekunle’s re-entrance into Biggie’s house, but it seems he means business. This is evident in his emergence as the very first Head of House, to the amazement of fans. He is now guaranteed a place in Biggie’s house for one more week. He also selected four BFFs (friends for the week). He chose Cross, Seyi, Frodd, and Soma, who will have unrestricted access to the HoH lounge, bedroom, and gym, and are allowed to sleep there. Since they are also restricted from sharing anything with others, just fellow BFFs, we may start seeing some bad blood, and we can’t wait for the drama to unfold.

Lambo’s Immunity

Another housemate guaranteed another week’s stay in Biggie’s house is Mercy Eke. Popularly called Lambo, Mercy won immunity during the hide-and-seek game held on Monday. Of the two envelopes hidden by Biggie, Mercy found the immunity envelope which guaranteed her immunity from eviction.  

Diary Room Secrets.

The first diary session was quite revealing and hinted at possible alliances and would-be frenemies. Uriel expressed surprise at the selection of Whitemoney and Mercy as housemates, alluding to the fact that they claim to have a huge financial portfolio.

Doyin said the presence of Frodd and Tolanibaj came as the biggest surprise. Tolanibajaj, in turn, confessed that she was surprised by the reentry of Kiddwaya and Neoenergy. Ike also stated that he never envisioned Venita returning to Biggieverse.

Cee-C, known for her unpredictable nature, made it clear that she entered the House without any preconceived expectations about her fellow housemates.

Nigerian Idol Prize Money: Who Owes K-Peace?

Published

on

By

By Oludayo Salami 

Kunle Ogunrombi, popularly known as K-Peace, has once again raised concerns about unpaid prize money from his 2015 victory on “Etisalat’s Nigerian Idol”. His recent interview on The Honest Bunch podcast has re-ignited discussions about prize settlements after reality TV shows in Nigeria. 

As the winner of a reality TV show, backed by a popular brand (Etisalat at the time), K-Peace deserves the money he won on the show. However, K-Peace’s claims are marked by glaring inconsistencies. Maybe it was intentionally shared to whip public sentiments, knowing that most people would run with that snippet, not the full story. Whatever the intention was, it turned out to be quite misleading. So here are the facts, available to everyone who can do a simple Google search.

Etisalat’s Nigerian Idol was organised by Optima Media Group in 2015. The cash prize at the time N7.5 million along with, a brand-new car, a recording deal worth and some high-end devices. K-Peace won the season, and rightly deserved the promised prize. In interviews, K-Peace admitted to receiving N5m and the car. The next season, 6 years later, a totally different brand got the rights to the show and revived it simply as Nigerian Idol. Recently, a snippet of K-Peace’s interview on a podcast alluded to the fact that the organisers had not paid him.

The public, including myself, will naturally side with K-Peace, as it is in us to side with a perceived underdog in any fight. An underdog deserving of public support should be one able to tell a coherent story. 

If K-Peace still hasn’t received the full amount, he should directly call out those responsible. He won Etisalat Nigerian Idol in 2015, so if there’s an outstanding balance, he should demand payment from Etisalat—now rebranded as 9mobile or the franchise owners at the time Optima Media Group. Publicly addressing the right entity will generate pressure and increase his chances of getting what he is owed.

A background check will reveal that Nigerian Idol went on a six-year hiatus after K-Peace’s season and was revived in 2021. Since then, the show has produced four winners—Kingdom Kroseide, Progress Chukwuyem, Victory Gbakara, and Chima Udoye—all of whom have received their prizes. This further suggests that the issue lies with the former organizers.

To get justice, K-Peace must clarify his claims. Is he seeking the remaining N2.5 million, or is he alleging he was never paid anything? And most importantly, he must call out those holding on to the prize he won. If he remains vague, Nigerians may end up supporting the wrong fight.

This is 2025—there’s no need for fear or hesitation. If there’s money to be recovered, the right people must be held accountable. But without clarity, this could become just another social media distraction. K-Peace, Nigerians are willing to help, but only if the facts are clear.
