    In her words: “The fact that from my head to toe is entirely entertainment, you should be ready to see different content, not just on one part. It would help if you were prepared to see me in the comedy line, the hype line. I am going to have a farm, so people can come and buy raw food from me. With time, I’m going to open a club, and then you can come and party in my strip club and lots more.”

    Also speaking about her moments on the reality show, she said she did not believe her name was the one announced as the winner.

    “When I heard my name as the winner, I was trying to check if there was any similar sound between Phyna and Bryan because it was not clear, but when everybody was like ‘who dey’ I was like, okay, I think that is me.

    “That day, I did not hear Ebuka clearly, but I was shocked because I was coming to chest the first runner-up with my full chest. I was not expecting a win. Just call Bryan and let us be going. I have never watched big brother.

    “I auditioned four times, and any year they don’t pick me, I don’t watch. It was inside the house I learnt White Money also used the slang ‘Who Dey breathe’”, she stated.

  • Late Rico Swavey was not drunk – Family, witness

    Late Rico Swavey was not drunk – Family, witness

    Sunday Michael, a witness at the accident scene of late ex-Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Patrick Fakoya, popularly known as Rico Swavey, on Thursday gave account of what happened at the scene.

    Rico Swavey died on Oct. 13 after being involved in a ghastly motor accident on Oct. 11.

    Until his death, he was a singer, lawyer and actor, who was born in 1993.

    Michael, a Uber driver, during a news briefing organised by late Rico Swavey’s family, said while trying to convey the deceased to a hospital after the accident, he never perceived any smell of alcohol on his body.

    The witness said that while with a passenger in his car at about 12.00 a.m. along Sangotedo/Ajah Road, in Lagos, he suddenly saw a car run into a concrete road demarcation.

    He noted that a huge sound likened to that of a dynamite was heard from the accident direction, which was scary.

    ”Nobody went close to rescue the victim as I  beckoned on people around to help but nobody was willing to.

    I went close to the scene and discovered that the car was locked, badly damaged and the engine split into two,” he said.

    He said he had to break the car’s windsceen to gain access into the car when he discovered that Rico Swavey who was the only victim was already unconscious and bleeding from the nose.

    “Looking at Rico Swavey, he looked exactly like my brother, I couldn’t leave him. So, I took it upon myself to take him to the hospital, he was not drunk because I did not smell alcohol on his body or mouth.

    “Doren Hospital was the closest hospital to the accident scene, just five minutes drive, so I took him in my car to the place, it took over 2 hours before he was attended to and after being examined, a doctor said he needed instant surgery, demanding for some deposit before he could be treated.

    “I took him to another nearby hospital, Evercare Hospital, where he was attended to after one hour.

    “Meanwhile, all these while, nobody called Rico Swavey’s line until after arriving Evercare when one of his friends called, she later came to join me but at the sight of him, she collapsed.

    “Evercare also demanded for some deposit but when they diacovered that he was a celebrity, they decided to commence treatment on him, I know if Rico Swavey was given prompt medical care, he would have been alive now,” he said.

    Leroy Fakoya, late Rico Swavey’s elder brother, advised the state government that in a bid to demarcate lanes on the highway,  plastic and reflective materials should be used instead of concrete.

    Fakoya, who was sober over the death of his younger brother,  said that Rico Swavey died due to negligence of the medical team at Evercare and Doren Hospitals.

    “If Swavey had got treatment early enough, he would probably still be alive now, money should not be prioritised over human life.

    “They only started treating him when they discovered he was a celebrity, what if he is an ordinary fellow who is not a public figure, we need to change this narrative,” he said.

    Michael Adigun, late Rico Swavey’s personal assistant, called on medical personnel generally to ensure that individuals who need medical attention are attended to promptly.

    What you need to know about Island of Bora Bora

    Bora Bora (French: Bora-Bora; Tahitian: Pora Pora) is an island group in the Leeward Islands. The Leeward Islands comprise the western part of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, which is an overseas collectivity of the French Republic in the Pacific Ocean.

    Bora Bora has a total land area of 30.55 km2 (12 sq mi). The main island, located about 230 kilometres (125 nautical miles) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano, rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu; the highest point is at 727 m (2,385 ft). Bora Bora is part of the Commune of Bora-Bora, which also includes the atoll of Tūpai.

    The languages spoken in Bora Bora are Tahitian and French. However, due to the high tourism population, many natives of Bora Bora have learned to speak English.

    Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its seaside (and even offshore) luxury resorts. The major settlement, Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel leading into the lagoon.

    Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and from the plentiful coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for the production of copra.

    BBNaija’s Tega Dominic flaunts her bubble butt in sexy swimwear photos

    BBNaija star, Tega Dominic, has flaunted her bubble butt in sexy swimwear photos she shared on her Instagram page on Friday.

    Meanwhile, Tega has expressed gratitude to God for her son, Jamil, who was placed on oxygen.

    Though she did not reveal the ailment her son came down with, the reality show star shared a photo of her and her son lying on a hospital bed.

    Tega, who confirmed a while ago that her marriage is over, thanked God for life and for also being her peace.

    She wrote: “Thank you lord for my son, I am grateful for the gift of life I am grateful, for the gift of being my peace I am grateful, who am I that you are mindful of lord, thank you. I make my boast in the lord.”

    Tega had stated that she claimed to be married while on Big Brother Naija season 6 show because it was her strategy for the game.

    In the reunion show, the reality TV star noted she had separated from her husband since 2020 but decided to use marriage as a strategy on the show.

    This was as she defended the romantic affair she had with Boma Akpore during the show.

    The duo became prominent during the show due to their romantic involvement, coupled with the fact that Tega claimed she was married.

    “For a fact, I didn’t go into the show as married. I went in as separated. In all my interviews, I clearly stated it. I went in as separated,” Tega said.

    She actually noted that she changed her mind when she came into the show and decided to introduce herself as married.

    Tega added, “During our conversations and introductions, I just said well I’m married and I have a kid. That was supposed to be a strategy. Getting deep into the show, I then discovered that this was doing something great in a bad way to me.”

    Speaking of her affair with Boma, Tega said, “To me, everything that was going on between me and Boma was all a cruise.”

    During the reunion show, Boma also revealed that Tega told him her marriage had ended, so to him, he was dealing with a single woman.

    He also added that it wasn’t the first accident he had been involved in; he had crashed his first car in 2019, days after his birthday.

    Emmanuel, who featured in the BBNaija season 6, is the first Nigerian to win the Mister Africa pageant and hails from Akwa Ibom.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that in the case of Rico Swavey, the Doren Hospital which administered treatment to him said in a statement that he was brought in unconscious with Glasgow comma of 3/15 smelling of alcohol, implying that he was drunk at the time of the accident.

    A review of the photograph and video of Rico’s car at the scene of the accident showed that he was probably drunk when he rammed into the median on the major road.

    A fellow ex-housemate in Big Brother Naija Season 3, Alex Asogwa, who shared the news on her Twitter page last week Tuesday, said doctors were trying to resuscitate him.

    Rico Swavey, however, succumbed to death following the degree of injuries he sustained from the auto accident on Thursday morning.
