Saga makes U-turn on engagement with Nini, says ‘It wasn’t a skit’
Saga Adeolu, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, has confirmed that he and Nini Singh are now engaged.
Last month, photos and footage from the engagement of the reality TV stars surfaced on social media platforms.
In the footage, Saga was seen proposing to Nini in a room decorated with flowers and an inscription on the wall reading “will you be mine forever?”
The 29-year-old reality star went down on one knee to ask Nini to be his lifelong companion and she accepted the proposal.
The engagement video attracted congratulatory messages from their fans and BBNaija colleagues.
But Saga left many shocked after he said the proposal video was a skit from December 2022.
“I’m trying to be careful with my words, I don’t know what to say. It was an old video anyway,” he had said.
“An old video from December last year. I still don’t know how that video got out. Honestly, I don’t know.
“Someone called me and was like Saga your stuff is online. I asked what is online and he said my proposal video. I had to cut the call.
“This is making me shy because it was a very private video.”
When asked when the pair would eventually tie the knot, Saga said: “The what? The video was a skit. Let’s leave that topic.
But in a recent interview on Arise TV 360, Saga admitted that the proposal was not staged.
“Even we don’t know the date we are getting married, so everybody should please chill. Just to clarify, it wasn’t a skit,” he said.
“I’m not so jobless that I would wake up one morning and start proposing to someone and kissing, and all of that just to make people laugh or what.
“The thing is we had a brand engagement for the wine brand, earlier that day, and I already planned to propose after the shoot.
“The only link was that it was the same day. But it wasn’t a skit… Yes, the video is true, but you people should please allow us to live our private lives. We’ll appreciate it.”

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Tiwa Savage calls out Wizkid fan for bullying
Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.
Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.
On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.
In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
The reply rubbed off wrongly on Tiwa Savage who said “Because I am promoting music? WTF…y’all are not fans anymore ooo you guys are actual bullies”.
