Saskay reveals how she cheated during an exam and got caught

Former BBNaija housemate, Tsakute Ladi Jonah, aka Saskay, has shared how she once attempted cheating in an exam hall, but luck was against her.

A Twitter user had asked tweeps to share their experience on what made them realize that they were going to fail a course after getting the question paper.

Sharing her experience, Saskay revealed that she had once entered an examination hall with 80 leaves full of ‘chokes’ (cheat sheets).

Unluckily for her, none of the answers in her 80 leaves book corresponded with the question.

She revealed that she decided to start taking random answers from her book to assign different questions.

In her words: “In secondary school, I carried a full 80 leaves sheet of ‘chokes’ into the exam hall and none of it corresponded with the questions. I started freestyling and dashing each question anything from my chokes.”

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Saskay was among the 26 contestants who participated in Big Brother Naija season 6 (Shine Ya Eye).

“Stripping is actually a profession”- BBNaija contestant, Chichi declares

Fourth runner-up of Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, and acclaimed stripper, Chinenyenwa Okoebor, aka Chichi, has cleared the air on stripping as a profession in Nigeria, saying “I think I am the most judged stripper.”

Recall that during the reality TV show, Chichi, who hails from Edo State, but was born and bred in Anambra State, said she is a stripper.

Chichi was known to have given some of her male housemates’ lap dances while in the house.

According to Chichi, she was not ashamed of being a stripper because it is her “hustle” and she makes “good money” from stripping.

In an interview, she however expressed dismay that strippers are usually judged by people and seen as lesser humans.

She said, “I think I am the most judged stripper. When I was a stripper, (I don’t strip anymore), people often came to me for help and at the same time, they would judge me. They did not see us as human beings. Stripping is actually a profession but in my father’s land (Nigeria), it is not seen as one. It was really hard because people were so judgmental.

“Because of that, I cannot talk in public. And, that is why I am uptight; I don’t like expressing myself. Whenever I talk, people are quick to throw ‘shades’ at me, saying what do I know since I’m just a stripper. They feel we (strippers) can do anything for money.”

The acclaimed stripper also stated that she was not open to having sex on the first date.

She said, “Sex on the first date is something that I don’t think should even be discussed on the first day; talk more of doing it on the first date. But, who am I to judge people who think it is okay?”

Chichi, who is considering a career in Nollywood, also stated that she can never act nude. She said, “No, I won’t act nude. But, for those who choose to do it, I am not a judgmental person. That is probably what they feel comfortable doing. They should do what they feel is good for them.”

She also maintained that a woman can be as successful as a man. She said, “I don’t believe that. A woman can be successful the same way a man can. There are so many wealthy men out there; should we also say those men got their money from women?”
