My relationship with Teddy A started as a game – BamBam

BamBam talked about her engagement to Teddy A and how real it is in a new interview she granted, just after it became a major topic on social media last weekend.



The reality show star stated that the engagement is real and also advised couples to become each other's best friend so they can know their limits and boundaries in their relationship.




“It (engagement) is real. Just like every other thing, you would see it happen. I can’t start giving (wedding) dates" she told Saturday Beats.

“If you cannot make a best friend out of your intending partner, where you know their limits and their boundaries, then you are messed up really. I am blessed that Teddy is mature, not careless, and as public figures, we know how to manage situations that seem beyond our control" she added.



BamBam also revealed that her relationship with Teddy A began as a game before fate happened.




“Fate happened to us. I can’t say it was pre-planned. He had a serious relationship that was one-year-old before I met him. He had a girlfriend he was serious with, so we did not plan to fall in love with each other. We did not know we would last this long.

"We had a very rare connection in the house. We both knew it but we kept telling ourselves ‘it’s just for the game’ but it was no game. So, I can’t predict what fate has designed. So, people should not go in there hoping to be a Teddy A and BamBam. I went to the house for a different purpose, but ended up getting Teddy as a bonus" she said.

Lady blasts Nigerian Aunty who said she’s too young to give an advice about life

A young Twitter user came down hard on a Nigerian 'Aunty' over a tweet of her being too young to give advice about life, and it was really a 'gbas gbos' moment.



The Nigerian lady @Aunty_Les had backed her claim of @okemzuruoke being too young to advice people about life with a disclosure of her graduating from secondary school in 2012.

Here is the exchange that ensued thereafter;

Don't lower your standard for any man again - Tonto Dikeh says as she forgives herself

Tonto Dikeh forgave herself while reminscing on 'getting played by someone you lowered your standard for'.



The actress also had other entertainers like Toke Makinwa and Eriata Ese laughing after she said she won't be doing that again. See her post below;







Tonto Dikeh got married to Olakunle Churchill in 2015 but their marriage ended in 2017 on allegations of cheating and domestic abuse. The actress has repeatedly claimed to have married her ex-husband with her money and also sustained their marriage with her money.

Gun Violence: Amnesty International warns against travelling to the US

Amnesty International has issued a travel warning calling for possible travelers and visitors to the United States to exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout the country due to the rampant gun violence.



“Travelers to the United States should remain cautious that the country does not adequately protect people’s right to be safe, regardless of who they might be. People in the United States cannot reasonably expect to be free from harm – a guarantee of not being shot is impossible. Once again, it is chillingly clear that the U.S. government is unwilling to ensure protection against gun violence” said Ernest Coverson, campaign manager for the End Gun Violence Campaign at Amnesty International USA.



The travel advisory addressed growing gun violence, mostly hate crimes, including racism and discrimination, highlighting that the traveler’s race, country of origin, ethnic background, sexual orientation or gender identity may place them at higher risk after recent attacks linked to white supremacist ideology.



The action called attention to the extent to which all aspects of life in the United States have been compromised in some way by unfettered access to guns, without comprehensive and uniform regulation of their acquisition and use. By prioritizing gun ownership over basic human rights, the U.S. government is willfully and systematically failing on multiple levels and ignoring its international obligations to protect people’s rights and safety.



Amnesty International has been calling for common sense reform regarding the use and possession of firearms, including comprehensive background checks, national regulations for registering and licensing firearms, required training, a ban on high capacity magazines/assault weapons, and mandatory safe-storage laws. Amnesty International USA’s campaign to end gun violence has focused efforts on passing S.42., the Assault Weapons ban, and the Disarm Hate Act.
