Wanni and Handi, the dynamic duo from Big Brother Naija Season 9, have thanked their fans for their unconditional love and support.

The twins recently received an outpouring of gifts, including 10 million naira, grocery, and fuel vouchers.

During an Instagram Live session, Wanni and Handi expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the gestures.

They noted that the support is particularly meaningful since they’ve often felt misunderstood.

The twins, who are identical and 27 years old, brought their vibrant energy to the Big Brother Naija show.

The Nation reported that Wanni emerged as the runner-up, while Handi was evicted two weeks before the finale.

Recall that Wanni has vowed to achieve the N100 million grand prize equivalent before the year ends.

“We have been misunderstood our whole lives, it’s so amazing to see you guys love us for our real selves,” they said.

Actress Bimbo Akintola has revealed why she never dated a male colleague in the industry despite their advances.

During an interview with Labista, she spoke about her decision to separate her personal and professional life.

Akintola disclosed that she never dated any actor throughout her career because she considered them as colleagues and “brothers” in the industry.

She also emphasised her commitment to maintaining a professional work environment.

“No, I never dated any actor at any point in my career; I don’t like you people. I’ve never been attracted to an actor so to speak. All of you are my brothers, straight. It’s not about the kind of men I’m attached to; I just wasn’t attracted to people in the workplace.

“My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of work of an actor who wants to be professional, so I don’t see you as dateable people, all of you. I don’t see it. We have handsome actors but I’ve never thought of dating any one of them…honestly. It doesn’t mean they didn’t toast me though”, she said.

The actress also addressed past controversies, including false claims about her personal life.

She shared that sensationalised stories, such as claims about her wardrobe choices, were fabricated to generate attention.

“When I first started, there was a lot of controversy and all sorts of things written about me; horrible stuff. There was a part where people were saying I don’t wear underwear. I think it is that news like that flies and sells so you have more traction and more people on the blog and people buying the papers. People want to read about funny things like that, it’s even better now, back then they used to cook up stories, all sorts of stories”, she said.
