British singer, Natalie Okri has stated that some human hairs are sacrifices to deities and unknown gods.

The singer made this claim while speaking on why she stopped wearing wigs.

According to her, in some parts of Asia, women offer their hair at the temple to purify themselves, to shed bad luck and poverty.

Natalie Okri in a video shared on her Instagram page, explained that some of these human hairs are often sold to big vendors. She noted that black women purchasing them might be wearing someone else’s bad luck unknowingly.

“There are 3 reasons why I stopped wearing wigs and human hairs: some human hairs are sacrifice to demons, deities and other unknown gods.

“A lot of women in some countries like Asia, they go to the temple to sacrifice their hair to their god, believing that their gods will purify and cleanse them. They gave their hair as a form of getting rid of bad luck, poverty and every other thing stressing them and they started life anew.

“Those working in the temple take their hair and sell it off to the European market or to different big vendors like Ali Baba, Ali Express and different brands. And we black women go to those websites to buy these hairs at hundreds of pounds.

“We are wearing someone’s bad luck on our heads. You may not believe in their god but as a Christian, that works against what I believe in, because we see them as demons and deities.”

Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.

Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.

He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.

“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.

“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”

Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.

“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.

The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.

“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.

His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
