Big Brother Naija star Doyin has admitted to being out of touch with the everyday cost of living in Nigeria, highlighting her reliance on others for tasks like shopping.

In a recent interview with media personality Olufemi Daniel on his podcast, the reality star revealed, “I am the most detached Nigerian you can ever meet. I don’t even know what is happening. I don’t know the price of anything. I don’t go to the market. I send my chef, and they don’t tell me what the price is.”

While Doyin doesn’t engage in market activities, she expressed empathy for Nigerians grappling with economic hardships. “I hear there’s hardship in the country, and I sympathise with Nigerians. I’m sure that it’s tough. I know because wigs are more expensive. Makeup, nails, cars, houses—everything is more expensive. Those things I know. But I’m not really into tomatoes. I’m sure food is expensive.”

She recounted a moving experience when she visited a market in Ogba and was brought to tears by the struggles she witnessed. “It’s sad because people are suffering. I also went to the market one time in Ogba, and I cried that day because I saw how people were suffering. People were reacting to N50,000 like it was N5 million. That shows how badly people are suffering.”

Doyin emphasized the dire situation in Nigeria and criticized the lack of concern from those in power. “It’s very sad. We hope that we’ll have a country one day where the average Nigerian can at least feed. That should be the basics. But we are not there yet. I hope we get there one day. I don’t want to talk about politics because I don’t really know much about politics.”

She concluded by advising Nigerians to fend for themselves and consider relocating if possible. “I just think Nigeria is a shithole with this kind of leadership. The issue is that the people that are obligated to care about us don’t care about us. I don’t know that there would be a solution anytime soon. So I tell people, ‘Do your best to fend for yourself and family and if you have the opportunity to relocate abroad, do.

Media personality Daddy Freeze has defended his past friendship with convicted internet fraudster Hushpuppi, revealing that he stood by him when others turned their backs.

In a video shared by Tunde Ednut, Daddy Freeze disclosed that despite widespread criticism of Hushpuppi, he refuses to condemn him because of the support he received during a difficult period.

“Hushpuppi has never given me money before, not even $1. But he gave me friendship when nobody wanted to be my friend because they believed I was the devil,” he said.

Recalling their first meeting, he shared, “The first time I met Hushpuppi was when I was invited to Dubai along with some influencers. At the time, I had already started the #FreeTheSheeple movement.

“The influencers didn’t like me, the church I attended for 10 years rejected me, and everyone abandoned me. Then Hushpuppi sent me a DM saying, ‘Where are you? Come over.’”

Daddy Freeze acknowledged that he may have suspected Hushpuppi’s wealth was not legitimate but emphasized that it didn’t change the kindness he received.

“Why won’t I be friends with someone who was my friend? How am I going to be angry with him?

“I might have guessed that his money was not legit, but like Davido said in one of his songs, ‘Dey for who dey for you.’”

His remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending his stance on loyalty while others criticized his association with Hushpuppi.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has rescued 23 children from a suspected child trafficking syndicate operating under the guise of an orphanage in Kubwa, Abuja.

The operation, carried out on March 20, 2025, followed credible intelligence on suspicious activities at Mother Deborah Orphanage.

Police operatives from the Kubwa Division swiftly stormed the location and arrested the orphanage owner, Ijeoma Andy, along with another suspect.

According to FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, the raid led to the rescue of a three-year-old child suspected to have been stolen from Kaduna State, alongside 22 other children aged between two and 14 years.

Investigations revealed that Andy could not provide a reasonable explanation of how the children ended up in her facility, raising strong suspicions of child trafficking.

The rescued children are now in protective custody receiving care, while efforts continue to track down other accomplices.

The police urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities via emergency lines: 08032003913, 08028940883, 08061581938, and 07057337653.
