For his first appearance, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu channelled African highlife royalty, stepping out in a ’70s-style suit cut from fabric printed with vintage newspaper clippings – a clear homage to Prince Nico Mbarga, the legendary musician behind “Sweet Mother,” one of the highest-selling African singles of all time. Then came his second appearance, a moment that felt like stepping into a history book. Inspired by Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Nigeria’s flamboyant Minister of Finance in the 1960s,…

The Big Brother Naija house just got louder, and it’s all thanks to the men who made their grand entrance on Day 2 of Season 10. Yesterday, the ladies set the tone with laughter, whispers, and those first-day bonds, but tonight? The guys stormed in, and Biggie’s house is officially buzzing. Fourteen male housemates joined the game, making it 29 housemates in total – 15 ladies and 14 men. And of course, Ebuka Obi–Uchendu came with his usual charm and sharp questions, asking the men what they’re bringing to the table this season. From the introductions alone, it’s obvious this…

Photo Credit: Ebuka Obi-Uchendu/Instagram Another opening night, another striking fashion moment from Ebuka Obi–Uchendu – and, as always, he delivered. You may remember that just yesterday, on the first opening night of Season 10 of Big Brother Naija, the host stayed firmly on theme with two impressive looks in pink. The first was a beaded denim jacket paired with wide-flared pink trousers, a nod to Nollywood veteran Nkem Owoh’s iconic style. For his second outfit, Ebuka switched to traditional attire – a full pink agbada with a matching cap and coral beads, paying tribute to legendary juju and highlife musician…

Rebecca Meder and Erin Gallagher both made it through to the semi-finals of their respective events on the opening day of the swimming programme at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore on Sunday. Meder booked her spot in the 200m individual medley semi-finals with a time of 2:11.68 in the morning heats. A seventh-place finish in the evening’s semi-final in 2:11.05 was then not enough to see her through to the final, missing out by two places. “Tenth in the world is not too shabby, but it’s not my best time, especially for how I’ve been feeling in training and everything,”…
