Liquorose and Emmanuel: The Dubai Fiasco

The BBNaija reunion took some time to get going, but things have started getting spicy, and the hottest gist right now is the saga between Liquorose and Emmanuel. Finally. Some much needed action. Well, this was more melodramatic. Lots of emotions here and there. Sadness, anger, joy. The audience definitely felt it, depending on which ship you were. Here’s what happened…

Liquorose during the reunion show on Friday narrated that she caught Emmanuel and an unknown lady in his room in Dubai. Liquorose accused Emmanuel of disrespecting, lying and cheating while they had a relationship. Oops!

She explained that she walked in on Emmanuel in a very compromising position with another lady during their Dubai trip in November 2021. Liquorose said she had wanted to surprise Emmanuel but when she went to his room, it took him 15 minutes to open the door. Ouch…

Emmanuel’s narration was different. He said he was sleeping when Liquor started knocking. Liquorose came prepared however. She reiterated that they were chatting before she arrived at his room. When Ebuka asked him, he then said he was in bed. It was the looks on the other housemates faces for me. That moment when everyone, including yourself, knows you’re lying, but you’re just too stubborn to admit defeat. See video here. Lol. Well, it really wasn’t funny to see Liquor in that position. To be honest, whether you’re a shipper or not, her hurt came through. Though she handled herself with class and panache, speaking calmly and remaining calm, this was one hurt lady.

What Happened After?

She said Emmanuel then proceeded to say though he still loved her, but he didn’t want to be in a committed relationship with her anymore. This was after he refused to go after her when she walked in on himself and the lady in the hotel room. Ebuka then asked after Emmanuel was done lying, sorry, I mean, talking, if they could remain friends, to which they both responded “No.” Shocking, sad, but it is the way things are now. The Emmarose ship has sunk, and it appears there is no hope of reviving. Let sleeping dogs lie, they say.

BBNaija Shine Ya Eye Reunion

BBNaija Shine Ya Eye Reunion is underway and making waves. Some right, some can be better. But the show we waited for is back on our screens. The show premiered on Thursday, 2nd June 2022 and the gbas gbos has already begun.

Angel vs Maria

As early as Friday, Angel and Maria were already trading words. During the show, a clip was shown where Maria accused Angel of kissing almost all the guys in the house. Spicy! Maria, in defence, noted that what she said was simply her opinion of Angel. And the drama took off from there. Angel called Maria out, saying Maria did the same thing, except kiss, which she (Angel) did only while playing the Truth or Dare games. These clips that get played during the show always causes wahala.

Arin vs Nini

The show aired again on Monday, and we had Arin and Nini at loggerheads next. They were close friends in house, but here traded words over disloyalty in their friendship. Nini’s grouse was over an Instagram comment Arin (or her handler, like she claimed) made on Cross’ Instagram page about the fight. To be honest, this particular matter, even I don’t understand it. Ladies, it’s not by force to be friends, really. Lol.

Boma vs Queen and Beatrice

Subsequently, the show aired again on Tuesday, and this time around, the spotlight was on Boma. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu stirred the hornet’s nest when he brought up the comment Boma made about Tega’s private part. If you remember, during a question game in Biggie’s house, Pere had thrown a question at Boma, wanting to know why he said Tega’s Veejay smelt like fish. In response to Ebuka, Boma stated that he heard from Tega that Queen told her that he, Boma, told Pere that Tega’s veejay smelled like fish. Queen flared up at this point and it was no small matter. Too many “I heard, somebody said, they heard, someone else say” if you ask me.

The Boma and Beatrice moment is definitely what fans of the show signed up for. Yas. Finally. The show had some believing it was boring before now. Both housemates traded words over a comment Boma made describing her as ‘irritating’ while in the house. And then Beatrice went all in. She certainly took no prisoners, attacking Boma’s looks and his behaviour while in the house. Boma reciprocated describing Beatrice as ‘local’ and “be like man” to which Beatrice asserted that his girlfriend couldn’t compare. She told him to keep her name out of his mouth “Mr Madman Boma” Yam pepper scatter scatter! Going by reactions on Twitter, Beatrice on the Reunion show is everything fans expected and more from the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye Reunion.

What’s Next?

We can’t wait for the next episode of the show, airing Wednesday night at 10pm on AM Urban (DStv channel 153 and GOtv channel 6) and 10:30pm on AM Family (DStv channel 154 and GOtv channel 2). We know you can’t wait also.

What to expect? Most certainly, Vawulence! Lots and lots of it! A teaser video has been released showing clips from the reunion with none other that Angel Smith referring to one of the housemates as someone that doesn’t have sense. “My opinion about you is that you don’t have sense.” Meanwhile, she said it so calmly. Like what???

And like you, we can’t wait to find out who she was talking to. For example, could it be Nini? Or Maria? Above all though, how did the recipient take it? The Shine Ya Eye Reunion Show will be hosted by the one and only ‘table shaker master’ Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

What a Weekend!

I just had the most amazing couple of days; what a weekend! Wow! I didn’t see that coming. But I really should have. It was fully loaded, packed. Here’s how it all started.

I mean, how can you not just love weekends? Firstly, you do not get to wake up early. Saturday mornings are rare, they should be cherished. You have the ability to turn off the alarm clock. And just sleep. We have the luxury of sleeping a little longer on weekends, and it’s great.

What about TV time? Saturdays are great because you can catch up on your favourite shows, see movies. Basically, you get to unwind and chill. If hanging out is your thing, fine. If not, you can rest easy. I did and I loved it. But that was not all.

Sunday came and, drum roll…it was the final day of the English Premier League season. So many potential plot twists. Would Arsenal qualify for the Champions League? Would Liverpool pip City to the Premiership? Soon enough, it was match time, and the premiership didn’t disappoint.

From City going 2 goals down, to Liverpool being held, I had my fill of drama. Well, eventually, City won the League and Tottenham took the final Champions League spot, much to my joy. As a United fan, I couldn’t wait for the season to end any sooner, but I was glad that Arsenal, with all their noise, were also not going to make the Champions League next season. It was a great night.

That’s Not All

Subsequently, the final of season 7 of the Nigerian Idols also held on Sunday Night. I love the show. Well, I love music so, yes. I had followed this season from the beginning and I surely wasn’t going to miss the finals. The show was just about to start when I ran out of electricity units. Whattttttt! Not today! Thank God I knew VTpass would plug me in speedily, and they came through. I got my token instantly and was able to watch my favourite contestant Progress win the show!

It was a great weekend and I already can’t wait for the next, as it is the Champions League final battle between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Trust me to pay my tv subscription before then to avoid stories that touch. In all, I can say, what a weekend!

Whatever your bill payment needs are, VTpass has you covered.

How International Airtime Saved My Vacation

This story about how international airtime saved my vacation is entirely true. Except for the parts that are totally made up. True though. It was this one time after I had just gotten married. I’d been working so hard. And didn’t have time off for a proper honeymoon. So when a friend introduced me to a pocket-friendly travel package to Dubai, I jumped at it.

Sent in a leave request which got approved, packed my bags and went off with wifey on a two-week vacation in Dubai. Man was about to taste the baby boy life. Sweetness! Everything was going great. Mehn, we really were not ready for the amazing sights of Dubai!

To say that the view from the observation deck on the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa was breath-taking is an understatement. An overwhelming work of art. Dubai is fine please! Things work there. Abi I should not come back ni? Lol. By the time the 2-week vacation was coming to an end, we had visited the Dubai Aquarium, spent a full day at the Jumeirah Beach Residence, and taken Sunset Pics at the Dubai Frame. Truly, this was a vacation we didn’t want to end.

Subsequently, disaster struck. Amir had been our dedicated cab driver from when we arrived at the Dubai International Airport, and had opened a tab for us. We were to pay him when he dropped us off at the airport for our trip back to Nigeria. I had kept his cash (about 500 Dirham at this point) aside. Lo and behold, getting to the DXB, it was time to pay Amir. I couldn’t find the cash no more.

What Happened Next…

Me and my wife tried to explain what had just happened to Amir, but it seems some Nigerians had already given us a bad reputation. Amir was irate, and a crowd was gathering. I had no cash, and no way of sending money to Amir, who though he had been nice all through my stay, was suddenly quite agitated. Understandably so. His money was about to walk on a plane back to Nigeria. I honestly didn’t know what to do anymore. That was when my wife reminded me of VTpass, where we pay our bills.

To be honest, I was annoyed. I wondered how VTpass was going to help me pay my cab man in Dubai and save me the embarrassment we were already experiencing, then it hit me. I could pay Amir by purchasing International Airtime from VTpass to his Dubai number, while I pay in Naira on the VTpass platform. Women are geniuses! I explained my solution to Amir and in one minute, it was done. I purchased International Airtime worth 600 Dirham to Amir’s phone and suddenly, I was the best customer again. What money cannot do does not exist truly! We got our bags and rushed into the airport. We could not wait to get back to Naija. No one wants to get stranded in another man’s land truly.

There’s more. On VTpass, you can also buy airtime and data, pay other TV subscriptions and electricity bills, buy insurance covers and pay education bills. All while offering you a variety of payment options and immediate delivery of value!

Well, there you have it. The story of how International Airtime on VTpass saved my vacation, and possibly my reputation.

Super Eagles Crash Against Tunisia

On Sunday, the hopes of a nation were dashed against the rocks as the Super Eagles crashed out of the AFCON against Tunisia. Wow! We sincerely didn’t see that coming. And this was supposed to be the dream team. Nigerians were just beginning to hope. I honestly was already looking forward to the semi finals. Sadly, that was not to be the case.

We were still basking in the euphoria of taking 9 points out of a possible 9 in the group, stages. What more? We got to troll Ghana as they exited the Nations Cup. Then, came the news that Nigeria was to play Ghana in the World Cup qualifier playoffs. We were already making mouth as to how we would destroy the pride of our Ghanaian brothers.

Sunday came. On the other hand, paired against Tunisia, one of the best losers who managed to qualify with a mere 3 points, this was supposed to be a walkover of a game. In addition, the Tunisian team were covid-hit and had limited players available. However, for a side that won all three of their group games and even rested the majority of their stars for their previous match, tournament favourites Nigeria looked out of ideas in the face of some heroic defending.

Subsequently, things went from bad to worse, as substitute Alex Iwobi was shown the red card. Umar Sadiq had the best chance to add to the cup’s growing repertoire of late drama, only to see his shot roll across the face of the goal and wide of the far-post. In conclusion, it wasn’t the night for the Super Eagles, who had their wings clipped against Tunisia

What’s Next?

So, it is what feels like an early exit. Back to the drawing board for Nigeria’s Eagles. Sunday was a dark day, especially if you are an Arsenal fan, who dropped precious points again in the race for the top 4 in the premier league, and can’t seem to win a game at the moment.

Nigeria is out, but you can still keep up with the action at this year’s AFCON. Make your Cable TV payments, pay electricity bills, buy airtime and data easily with VTpass. It’s as easy as click, pay and go to stay connected and enjoy the 2021 AFCON action live!

Super Eagles Soaring at AFCON

On Wednesday night, we got to witness the Super Eagles of Nigeria soar to a 2 – 0 win against Guinea Bissau in their third game of the group stages of the AFCON. The eagles in doing so, became the only side at this year’s AFCON to record a 100% record in the group stages. The only side. That’s some feat!

Nigeria had already won the group before kick-off, reward for victories recorded against Mohamed Salah’s Egypt and Sudan. It’s the first time that the super eagles of Nigeria have won all three AFCON group matches since 2006. Champions in 1980, 1984 and 2013, is it too early to start dreaming of a fourth?

Time will tell. Nigeria is definitely up there though with the likes of Cameroon and Senegal as one of the tournament favourites. And with their record, many sides will be looking to avoid them when the last 16 draw is done.

Hope or Not?

While there are still some good teams in the competition, the Super Eagles go into the draw full of confidence. This team has done well for themselves. Considering the fact that they have played 3, scored 6, and gotten 9 points out of a possible 9, they have done well indeed. What more? They are actually playing good football. This actually looks like a team, rather than the usual composition of individuals we are used to getting.

Truth is, many of us wrote them off before they even kicked a ball. We have had our hearts broken too many times that optimism was on very short supply. However, this current crop have us believing again.

Whichever way it goes, don’t miss out on any of the action at this year’s AFCON. You can easily make your Cable TV payments, pay electricity bills, buy airtime and data with VTpass. It’s as easy as click, pay and go to pay your bills, stay connected, and enjoy the 2021 AFCON action live!
