Kellyrae Addresses Critics of His BBNaija Victory.
The recent discourse surrounding Kellyrae’s victory in the Big Brother Naija ‘No Lose Guard’ edition has elicited varied reactions, particularly from fellow housemates and some fans. Despite the ₦100 million grand prize awarded to him, there remains a contingent asserting that his performance in the show did not warrant such recognition.
During a candid interview with fellow contestant Adekunle Olopade on his YouTube podcast, Kellyrae responded vehemently to his detractors. He argued that personal animosities should not serve as a basis for diminishing the accomplishments of others. Using the relationship dynamics between Onyeka and his wife, Kassia, as a pertinent example, Kellyrae underscored the importance of acknowledging individual talent, regardless of personal disagreements.
Kellyrae’s assertion that criticisms of his victory reflect a lack of discernment unfolds a broader discussion on meritocracy within competitive arenas. He stated, “I don’t know what some of my colleagues saw in me in the house that made them feel that they were more worthy of the prize money.” This sentiment emphasizes the subjective nature of entertainment and talent, suggesting that evaluations of worthiness should be grounded in objective contributions rather than personal biases.
In a winner’s journey marked by resilience, it is imperative to recognize that accolades should be respected irrespective of contrasting opinions. Kellyrae’s perspective serves as a reminder that merit should prevail over personal grievances in any competitive framework.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
