The Big Brother Naija season 6 reunion started off with glitz and glamour on Thursday night.

The programme, monitored by our correspondent, aired across Africa Magic stations.

Hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the opening night showcased the introduction of the reunion show and the former housemates.

In this piece, The PUNCH highlights five remarkable moments from the opening show.

Dressing
The former BBNaija Shine Ya Eye housemates came in with their A-game to the reunion opening night.

Emmanuel stood out with his black and gold suit which was accentuated by his gold-laced fashionable nose mask.

Peace looked like a fairytale queen in her ball dress and blond hair, as the rest of the ex-housemates also showed up in style.

Red carpet
At the red carpet, the ex-housemates were interviewed by media personality, Miz Vick.

They all shared their experiences from the show and how the show had changed their lives.

Yerins noted that the “fans were wild,” adding that they (fans) also contributed to the overwhelming effect of the show.

Niyi’s absence
Ebuka noted that Niyi was absent from the opening show because he was healing from a medical issue.

The host noted that Niyi’s presence would have been very appreciated since he didn’t stay long on the show.

Niyi, Yerins, and Beatrice were the first housemates to be evicted from the show after two weeks.

Boma’s motive
Boma kept fans hungry for drama as he told Ebuka that he came to the reunion with a motive.

When quizzed about what the motive was, Boma noted that it will unfold as the show continues.

During the show, Boma caused a lot of controversies due to his relationship with the only married woman on the show, Tega Dominic.

Controversy after Michael’s exit
Ebuka touched on the controversy which trailed Michael’s exit from the show.

While Michael was on the show, he was in a ‘ship’ with Jackie B and shortly after his six-week stay, Whitemoney jumped in to take his position.

Reacting to that, Michael said, “I wasn’t shocked. He (Whitemoney) has good taste. It was good to watch. I believe everything worked out the way it was supposed to.”

Michael added that he wasn’t offended by Whitemoney’s move.

The reunion, which kicked off on a happy note on Thursday, would air for the next few days, with ex-housemates spilling the ‘tea’ and entertaining fans.

Famous Nigerian musician Adekunle Gold has revealed that he is still battling sickle cell crisis.

He made this known in a video of his latest interview shared on social media.

Sharing his experiences, the 38-year-old musician said, “I still have crises.”

While lamenting the pain caused by the disease, Adekunle Gold disclosed that he has been on lifelong medication since he was five years old.

Advising the public on the importance of genotype testing, he noted: “My vision is to make more noise about it because a lot of people don’t know about it, and the important organisations are not making so much moves regarding it”.

“Where sickle cell is more popular or where people know it most is my country Nigeria. And it happens when an SS matches an SS. And that’s why knowing your genotype is very important because the point is you should not bring many more kids that have sickle cell.

“Unfortunately for me, my parents are sickle cell and they brought me to the world. The first time I ever heard of sickle cell was I would fall sick every time with my joints paining me. So when we talk about crisis, it is pains on your joints, my legs and sometimes stomach. It’s really crazy.

“The first time I noticed that I had it was the night I fell sick and my dad wasn’t home and my mum put me on her back and we walked miles to the hospital. I don’t remember how old I was, maybe like 5 or 7. That was when the doctor told me about it, and they told me that I will be taking folic acid and B complex for the rest of my life. And that’s my life for a very long time even till now.

“I still have crises once in a while but not as bad as I had it when I was a child, you know maybe because I have found a way to take care of myself more properly. And I’m grateful to God for the resources to be able to do that.”

Veteran Afro-Juju legend, Sir Shina Peters, has opened up about the unusual strategy that helped reshape his image after his controversial exit from Prince Adekunle’s band.

During an appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, the “Ace” crooner recounted that his decision to leave the band sparked widespread backlash, with many accusing him of betraying his mentor for money.

He narrated how his team deliberately made him look like a mentally unstable person and showcased him in public to gain public sympathy.

“People protested against me when I left Prince Adekunle’s band because they believed I left my father figure for money. Then the owner of my record label and some media heads came up with an idea.

“They asked me to braid my hair for three days without loosening it, then I wore some torn up cloths. After that, they took me to Oyingbo Market to buy ewedu while recording everything. I didn’t even know what they were up to.”

The veteran singer said the stunt continued in Badagry, where he was filmed behaving like a mentally unstable person at a construction site handled by Julius Berger.

“They told me to act like a madman and eat in public. All of that was done to change people’s narratives and earn empathy from fans,” he said.

Sir Shina Peters explained that the carefully planned drama ultimately helped him win back public sympathy and rebuild his image as a solo artiste.
