BBNaija’s Diane<br />
claims her virginity<br />
is intact, may not<br />
have sex till marriage<br />
By TOLULOPE ABEREOJE<br />
n the wake of the many sexual escapades in the Big Brother<br />
INaija house, Diane said during a game with fellow housemates,<br />
Omashola and Elo on Friday that she plans on staying away from<br />
sex until marriage.<br />
The BBNaija housemate made the remark while responding to<br />
Elo on the last time she had sex. Going down memory lane, she<br />
recalled how her aunt once made her take a vow using the Bible<br />
to stay away from sex until marriage. She however, stated that<br />
she would give up on her vow if she meets a man she truly loves.<br />
“When I was younger, around 10 or 11, I went to see my<br />
cousin and her mother was telling us about how she kept<br />
herself till she got married. She told us that one thing that<br />
kept her was that she made a vow with God to stay pure, after<br />
which she now made us make a vow using the Bible to stay<br />
pure till marriage. At 23, I could wait or find someone to<br />
confuse my head and I will give it out,” she said.<br />
Recall that evicted housemate, Nelson once admitted to<br />
pushing for a relationship with Diane. Nelson said he stopped<br />
gunning for a relationship with Diane after Tuoyo told him he<br />
had an interest in her.<br />
Being single for 12 years with a<br />
son has been my toughest years<br />
—Adediwura Blarkgold<br />
It was not only Toyin Abraham and fiance, Kolawole Ajeyemi that were assailed<br />
with waves of congratulations on Thursday, Voluptuous Yoruba actress and mother<br />
of one, Adediwura Blarkgold was also <strong>over</strong>whelmed with goodwill messages when<br />
she broke the news of her engagement with a video that has since gone viral<br />
brandishing her engagement ring.<br />
The actress who has become popular with her son surprised many<br />
including Potpourri when she made the announcement. In several<br />
social media posts the ebony beauty has claimed that the only man<br />
in her life is her teenage son, giving no hint whatsoever that there<br />
may be a man pulling her chestnut out of the fire.<br />
In a chat with Potpourri the actress opened up on the<br />
engagement and how her son comes into the details.<br />
“Been single for 12 years with a son to cater for “alone” has<br />
been the toughest years so far. Honestly, it was terribly tough<br />
but I thank god today. Sometimes, when I think of a day<br />
like now, I put my son into consideration first, being my<br />
priority. I find it difficult to take this bold step with a lot of<br />
phrases like What if,” she said.<br />
“I consider my son’s feelings, acceptance and love. I<br />
had to wait till this time just for him to be of age and by<br />
God’s grace he will be 14 in 6 months.Also, I fought an<br />
internal battle within me for years trying to conquer<br />
the previous experiences that I had in my former<br />
marriage so as not to bring it to my future. I just<br />
have to take this bold step having found<br />
someone I love totally. He helped me to kill<br />
the spirit of ‘I can’t’ move on’. Thank god<br />
my son loves him and we all love him,”<br />
she added.<br />
The Nollywood damsel, is in her<br />
forties and a graduate of English<br />
from Lagos State University and<br />
has been acting since 2008. Her<br />
friends and fans call her the<br />
Blarkgold on account of a role<br />
she played at a point in her<br />
career.<br />

26-year-old classroom teacher, Temitope A, has become N2 million richer after winning Betways’ African Cup of Nations prediction<br />
A jackpot.<br />
Betway, an internationally recognised and reliable online betting provider, had offered bettors on its platform a chance to win big by<br />
predicting multiple games during the recently concluded football competition hosted in Egypt.<br />
Temitope, a dedicated football fan, was one of many bettors who grabbed the unique opportunity offered by Betway to predict games for free.<br />
The Osun State native couldn’t believe his luck when he was notified of his win from the betting platform he says he has been using since 2018.<br />
“I was very very happy… I wanted to scream but I was invigilating in an exam hall,” the Arsenal fan says after receiving his money.<br />
Speaking on Temitope’s win, Betway Country Manager, Lere Awokoya says, “Betway is a betting giant that offers the highest odds, fast<br />
payouts and good customer care to assist players. That is why many Nigerian bettors are interested in placing their wagers on the platform”.<br />
The reputable betting platform, in addition to offering odds on thousands of sporting fixtures, also offers casino games, virtual sports,<br />
jackpot games, and a number of exciting promotions.<br />
Don’t rush out<br />
of your marriage,<br />
you may never<br />
find someone<br />
better<br />
—Uche Elendu<br />

N<br />
ollywood actress,<br />
Uche Elendu<br />
recently shared a post on<br />
her Instagram page in<br />
which she warned men<br />
not to take any good<br />
woman they have in their<br />
lives for granted.<br />
According to her, when a<br />
man decides to leave a woman<br />
who loves him genuinely<br />
despite his flaws to look for<br />
someone better, he may not be<br />
very lucky. Elendu also made it<br />
known that women make huge<br />
sacrifices for their relationships<br />
to work. But when and if they<br />
disc<strong>over</strong> that they are the only one<br />
putting in all the hard work<br />
needed, they leave the<br />
relationship with hurt feelings.<br />
“Good women are scarce.<br />
When you get one, don’t mess<br />
with her or go out thinking<br />
you will find someone<br />
better. You just may not be<br />
that lucky. Appreciate<br />
your woman. Not all<br />
women are<br />
materialistic; most of<br />
them just want a<br />
man who is loyal,<br />
caring, loving and<br />
understanding.<br />
Any other thing is a<br />
plus if you’re<br />
privileged to have it. A<br />
lot of women make huge<br />
sacrifices just to protect their<br />
marriages or relationships, the<br />
tears, the battles both emotional,<br />
physical, spiritual battles they<br />
fight, the pain, financial input,<br />
betrayal and the<br />
disappointments, and yet, they<br />
don’t give up easily till it dawns<br />
on them that they’ve actually<br />
been in a relationship with<br />
themselves,” she said.<br />
