The 2019 edition of bbnaija kicks off in the studio situated in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria.
Meet The First Three Housemates.
1. Avala.
Single mom and budding singer Avala is not here to play. Being part of Big Brother Naija is part of pursuing her dreams and she also wants to inspire other young women.
Saidat “Avala” Balogun’s highest point of her life is when she gave birth to her daughter and her single, ‘Give me a chance’. The budding singer studied music and business at York College in Queens, New York. It’s no wonder then that her top artists include one of the city’s most famous exports, Mary J Blidge. Just like the Queen of Hip Hop, the Ogun State native has ambitions to spread her music all over the world.

What will you do with the prize money: I will invest and triple it in less than a year.

Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is your quintessential politician. A former executive governor of Abia State (1999-2007), even his adversaries agree that it has been difficult to match his strides in the state. The man, popularly known as OUK, was on the road in Abam, Arochukwu LGA, as he tries to oust a PDP candidate and become Senator, representing Abia North, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Orji Uzor Kalu The campaign train took off from Idima Abam – Ndi Ojiaku – Ndi Agwu – Atan – Ndi Oji and terminated at Ozu Abam, on some of the most poorly maintained roads in Abia North. The people confessed that never before had they seen a politician of OUK calibre traverse such dangerous thoroughfares to meet the electorate at their doors. And many agreed: It must be Orji Uzor Kalu. Excerpts: Your Excellency, you have been out of power for quite sometime, yet the people identify you as their own. What is the magic? Well, I...
Dr. Davidson Isibor Akhimien, the presidential candidate of Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN) in an interview with DAILY POST in Abuja explained that the US deliberately denied the country of arms purchase to confront insecurity in Nigeria. The former Intelligence Chief in the Nigerian Army said, the Army lacked modern equipment and training to fight insurgency and other forms of criminalities. Excerpts: As the 2019 general elections draw close amid heightened insecurity, how do you intend to tackle insecurity differently from the way the current government is doing? I am going to tackle insecurity from two major fronts which are going to be quite a departure from the style the present government is adopting. Like I always say, we are going to tackle insecurity of terrorism in the Northeast, Nigeria. I am going to have it from the domestic political economy and international political economy. We are going to be looking at our m...
[FILE] President Muhammadu Buhari (middle) and members of Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace in Abuja…recently. PHOTO: PHILLIP OJISUA Although the futuristic question of: “After PMB, what next for Arewa?” may sound simply farfetched, in reality. It is not. When PMB won the 2015 election, indeed ever since he ventured back to partisan politics, most of the hopes and expectations from the masses, especially in the core North, were heaped on this singular soul, as if he had a magic wand, like Moses, who could magically transform their lives as soon as he assumed power. This perceived expectations, with its extreme version exhibited by die-hard and sometimes almost-‘psychopathic’ loyalists, is reminiscent of the pre-historic stories of the type of worship exhibited by the post-Sokoto Jihad generation of illiterates, who in their blind groping of their faith continued to cling to an unfathomable mirage that their Shehu’s death (a la matyrdom) translates to their...
