Nengi happens to be one of the housemates from the fifth season of Big Brother Naija. The 22-year-old entrepreneur from Bayelsa state was the second runner-up of the season.
In a chat with her fans during her trip to Abuja, the reality TV star said the reason she declined to be part of the group was that she doesn’t want any problems.
“They approached me and I told them no I don’t want to be there. I don’t see the need to be pretending or be in a space with people who… I don’t like wahala.” she said.
Christmas is around the corner and everyone will be home to celebrate with their families and loved ones. Here are top 5 evergreen recommeded movies to watch during the holiday period:
Home Alone
Even though Home Alone didn’t turn out to be the greatest thing to happen to Macaulay Culkin, we feel rather fond of this classic Christmas hit. For those who haven’t yet watched it (where have you been though?) Home alone is a 1990 ‧ Comedy/Family which lasts for 1hour 43minutes.
Here’s a quick summary: eight-year-old Kevin McCallister gets forgotten by his family who jet off to Paris without him. Whilst his family try desperately to get back to America, burglars try to break into poor Kevin’s home. However, through much hilarity, Kevin skilfully defends his home with the aid of a tarantula and some artfully crafted cardboard cut-outs.
Film fact: The picture Kevin finds of Buzz’s girlfriend whilst he raids his big brother’s room was actually a boy wearing a wig. The director felt it would be too harsh to use a real girl for this scene.
The Princess Switch and The Princess Swith 2: Switched again
Long story short, Hudgens plays double duty as a princess and a normal Chicago baker who’d given up on love. And it was a hit. The film ushered in the Netflix Original Christmas Movie Cinematic Universe, in which Hudgens met a Christmas knight and also returned for a Princess Switch sequel.
This is yet a recent movie but an intresting one. You should check it out.
The App that stole Christmas
A tech entrepreneur’s Christmas shopping app is a smashing success, but he starts to believe his invention might be ruining the holiday spirit.
This is also a recent movie but worth the watch reason being that the movie practically portrays 21st century and how technology comes to play in our everyday lives.
Jack Frost
Michael Keaton gets a Christmas movie, too. He plays a man literally named Jack Frost, who lived his life as a bitter, aging rocker and meets a tragic end in a car accident on Christmas Day. A year later, his son plays a song on his old harmonica and brings him back to life; this time as a snowman. Bad special effects might make this one more of a horror film than a heartwarming Christmas movie, but nonetheless, here it is.
Snow Man
Harry Hole is investigating the disappearance of a woman on the first snow of winter when he realises that the case may be related to a Snowman. Watch and enjoy.
Asa says she loves tall guys because of her parents combination and their height.
She further said her parents were opposite of what she wants, Asa inferred thet she was not happy about her parents’ heights.
Award-winning singer and songwriter, Bukola Elemide, popularly known as Asa, says if she ever gets married, she’ll like to have a tall guy because she didn’t like the fact that her parents were short.
The international music star said this in a recent interview with Bolanle Olukanni for Ndani TV’s show, The Juice
Asa said, “I am crazy for tall guys. They could be dark. If you are dark, be very dark. Then, it takes me time to think, ‘Does he have a brain?’ If my future man is short, if I ever get married, I won’t complain. I do hope he is not short, because my parents were short and I wasn’t happy about that.”
She also said she was wary of her voice when she started her music career, adding that when she dropped her first album, she didn’t know it would be that big.
She said, “I just never trusted people; maybe it was (because) my father told me all the time that ‘you can’t trust people’. I think people just didn’t get me. When I started performing publicly, I didn’t come out as a singer. I came out as a dancer. That thing was inside me saying, ‘Why is your voice like this? Why do you sound like this? Why do you walk like this? Who do you think you are’?
Asa also said that patriarchy made it hard for women to succeed in the Nigerian music industry.
She, however, said she was glad that a lot of women were coming out and doing well with their careers.
