Why we didn’t show explicit contents in the house – BBNaija host, Ebuka

Big Brother Naija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has revealed why a lot of steamy and intimate moments that occurred in the house were not shown on live TV.

According to the 5-time host, while a lot played out in the BBNaija house, some scenes have to be censored due to the regulations of the National Broadcasting Commission, (NBC).

Ebuka made this known in an interview with Beat FM while reacting to claims by fans that viewers are shown what the organisers want them to see.

He also refuted insinuations that he had any grouse against Erica.

I like Erica; I really like Erica, which is also funny because people thought that I hated her. She gave us good content; she and Kiddwaya.

“First things first, we live in a country that has regulations. We all know about the NBC; there are certain things we can never show whether we like it or not. I always say that the show would be a different show if it was not a Nigerian show or if it was not in Nigeria because of the kind of things that we cannot show. Those things are not in our call; it is just legal issues.

“Secondly, this talk about what we showed about Kiddwaya and Erica; we actually did not show anything about them if anybody remembers. Nothing was shown about them. We did not show anything. In fact, it was even Ka3na and Praise that people saw under the sheets.

A lot of these things happened under the sheets; so, we do not know what is happening. We are not going to send a ninja to remove the sheet so that we can get a good shot.

People say we showed some things that made Erica and Kiddwaya look bad and I ask how? How did we make them look bad? Everything that has been revealed on the reunion show is actually on air. It just so happened that people decided to assume what they assumed,” he said.

Bella Shmurda apologizes to Seyi Law for missing his show

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Bella Shmurda has apologized to comedian, Seyi Law for missing his show in Ekiti on Sunday.

The musician cited a misunderstanding as the main reason behind this.

Seyi Law had booked Bella perform at his show in Ekiti on Sunday, the 20th of June 2021.

However, the singer claimed not to be aware of the arrangement, and his label issued a disclaimer. Seyi Law responded to the disclaimer by posting the photo of the person who was paid for the appearance.

He wrote; ”Prior to the disclaimer released by Bella Shmurda, I had paid Yemi-Oyedele Tobi whose picture appears here part-payment for Bella Shmurda to perform at my show on the 20th of June at Ado-Ekiti and now, Bella’s management has refused to recognize the payment made before their disclaimer and even rejected plea to accept a new negotiation.

I am officially putting this out here before I involve the necessary authority. Thanks. The show is loaded, we just wanted a bit extra excitement, notwithstanding the show goes on. SEYI LAW.”

Bella, in response, shared this apology via his Twitter fan page on Monday, the 21st of June 2021.

He stated that he respected Seyi Law as a veteran in the industry and would never disrespect his hard work or work ethic.

He also went on the explain that the comedian’s team booked him through someone who no longer works for him, The singer also appreciated Ali Baba and ID Cabasa for trying to settle the issue.

He wrote; ”Before I proceed to setting facts straight, I want to sincerely apologize to my Egbon Seyilaw. I greatly respect him, his work and his brand and will not intentionally disregard him.

I hope we can settle this amicably and go back to doing amazing work as Entertainers together. On the 13th of June, 2021 (last week), my booking manager informed me that Egbon Seyilaw called to state that he made payment to Tobi Oyedele pka Jiggy, a former member of my team for a show at Ekiti for 20th June 2021. On the 13th of June, 2021 (last week), my booking manager informed me that Egbon Seyilaw called to state that he made payment to Tobi Oyedele pka Jiggy, a former member of my team for a show at Ekiti for 20th June 2021.

It is popular knowledge that I am currently working on a project and stopped taking show bookings for mid-June till the release date of my project as I already had some commitments for these dates and needed to focus the remaining time on my project. As these plans were already made for these dates long before now, and Egbon’s show was only brought to my attention a week ago, there was little within my power that I could do to honor his commitment, despite the efforts of my team and I.

I also want to restate- like I did some time back in March- that Seun Orekoya pka Pumping Sneh (@pumpingsneh) should be contacted for any bookings. I never at any time held Jiggy out as the person to receive payment or take bookings on my behalf and this continues to be so. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to egbon Seyilaw. I also want to thank my Egbons @ALIBABAGCFR and @Real_Idcabasa for trying to help resolve this issue.

Thank you, Sirs.

Love always,

Bella Shmurda.”
