Maria announced her initial pregnancy on July 6, 2023, via Instagram, in which she posed for a maternity photoshoot with her partner Kevin.

However, her journey to motherhood was not without its share of controversy and online backlash. Maria faced online hatred during her pregnancy. She was accused of being a homewrecker because of her alleged involvement with a married man, Kevin. During an interview, with popular YouTuber Chude Jideonwo on his channel With Chude, Maria cleared the air on the allegations laid against her. She said “I wasn’t aware he was married or not when we first started dating. I have never and would never destroy any marriage. I do not owe people any information about my personal life.” Maria swore that that was the gospel truth and she would stand on it.

Maria has taken on a new role as the proud host of her very own television program, titled "Healing With Maria."

Fans all over social media are reacting to a clip of Pere punching a hole in the wall in the Big Brother Naija house. The housemate and Doyin had a disagreement this afternoon, which made Pere so angry that he punched a hole right through the wall.

The disagreement started very tame. Pere was explaining to another housemate that he did not like the way Doyin handled an earlier disagreement they had. Doyin reached him by calling him a liar, and the conversation devolved from that point.

Doyin began raising her voice and calling Pere names. She says:

‘You know da$n well for a fact that you said that shit. You’d rather sit there and lie and say that Doyin lied, Doyin is the instigator and you can live with your conscience knowing that I’m not lying, knowing that I was a third party there. Because it’s easy to blame it on Doyin and say Doyin is the liar. What motive do I have to lie? F%^(ing liar… No balls. It’s easy for them to put it on my head.’

Other housemates tried to intervene and separate. While they were doing so, Big Brother called Pere into the diary room. Now, fans all over the country are eagerly waiting for Big Brother’s judgement about this incident. 

Some fans had a strong reaction to this fight. Here are some of the fans' reactions to the fight:

Housemates Ike and Soma received one strike each on the third week of Big Brother Naija All-Stars following their shocking actions toward fellow housemates on the show. Ike was awarded a strike for vandalising the clothes and property of a co-housemate, Ilebaye, in a bid to provoke her to react on the show. Soma was also awarded a strike for his complete disregard for his co-housemate Angel, as he was said to have harassed her and showed no regard for her personal space.

Seyi's shocking comments

Seyi Awolowo triggered numerous reactions on social media and from the Lagos state government following his disturbing statement on what he would raise his sons to do to women. The comments were described as demeaning and utterly disrespectful to women as a whole.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and reality star, Dorathy Bachor, is rethinking her decision to save Seyi from eviction.

Two weeks ago, current Big Brother housemates, Seyi and Princess were in the bottom two with the fewest votes of the nominated housemates. The jury system in this edition of the BB Naija reality show allowed jurors to save one of the housemates and evict the other. Dorathy voted to keep Seyi in the house when she had that opportunity.

Fast forward to a week after he escaped getting sent home, Seyi began to speak ill of Dorathy in the house stating that brands are reluctant to work with her because she was involved in sexual acts during the lockdown season of the show which took place in 2020.

On the X app, formerly known as Twitter, Dorathy responded affirmatively to a fan who said she should have evicted Seyi so he wouldn’t have the opportunity to badmouth her.

The Lagos State government, through the office of the Domestic and Sexual Agency (DSVA), has reacted to the shocking comments made by Seyi Awolowo on the reality television series BBNaija All-Stars 2023.

Seyi had made a shocking comment in the early hours of today, Sunday, August 20, 2023, about what types of sons he would like to have and what he would teach them to do to women.

The shocking revelation drew a response from the Lagos State government who took to social media to share a post that read, "We strongly condemn the comments made by Seyi Awolowo in the disturbing video that has surfaced. Such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse. The bystanders' passive response in the video is also deeply concerning because it only enables such behavior to persist. It is important for us all to actively speak up in circumstances such as this. We remain committed to addressing issues of domestic and sexual violence.
