I struggle to get perfect braziers – Dorathy Bachor
The first runner-up of Big Brother Naija (Lockdown Edition), Dorathy Bachor, has stated that the reality television show made her come out of her shell.
The entrepreneur stated this during an Instagram Live chat with showbiz personality, Ubi Franklin, during the week.
She said, “I am a private person. I hate public opinion. The words, ‘That’s my opinion’, annoys me because I am not someone that would sit down and want to have an opinion about other people’s lives.
That was why I stayed in my shell. However, that did not pay my bills and it did not put food on my table either. But, Big Brother Naija made me come out of my shell.
Bachor, who recently started her own lingerie brand, stated that the idea came from the struggles she had with getting the right braziers.
She said, “When I came out of the house, I was blank. However, I took the time to study my fans. I tried to understand what they liked about me. I found out it was more of (my) confidence. I wanted to do fashion but I realised that many people were already doing that.
So, I decided to do something unique that I can relate to. I know the struggles of not being able to get a perfect underwear or bra. The businesses I do are those I can relate to and have a passion for.”
Nigerian-American Afrobeats artist Ewol Samo has announced plans to commemorate his birthday on April 8th by visiting orphanages and elderly care homes, where he will donate essential supplies and spend time with residents. This initiative is spearheaded through his newly launched nonprofit, The Oladayo Shola Apata Foundation (The OSA Foundation), named in honor of his late elder brother, who passed away from bladder cancer two years ago.
According to Ewol Samo, the foundation serves as a special-purpose vehicle for his philanthropic endeavors, focusing on supporting orphans, the elderly, homeless children, and underprivileged individuals. To fund this outreach, he is supplementing his personal donations with contributions from friends and business associates.
“I love giving, and my mantra has always been that sharing is caring. This foundation not only honors my late brother’s memory but also helps me fulfill my lifelong ambition of providing support to those in need,” Ewol Samo shared.
Reflecting on his journey, the artist recalled a moment when a heated altercation with a local Chicago artist led to an interview where his statement—“I was the wrong guy to mess with”—went viral. That experience, he says, taught him the power of words and actions.
“I’ve learned that reacting in anger can have far-reaching consequences, so I’ve been working on channeling all my energy into positivity. This foundation is my way of giving back and setting an example for the younger generation,” he said.
Beyond his philanthropic work, Ewol Samo recently launched ‘The Wrong Guy Podcast,’ a platform for unfiltered conversations about music, culture, and life. He is also in the studio working on an upcoming, yet-to-be-titled project.

Born Samuel Apata on April 8, 1992, in Ibadan, Nigeria, and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Ewol Samo’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and cultural fusion—one that continues to inspire both through his music and his commitment to uplifting communities.
The estranged wife of skit maker Ganiyu Kehinde popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has apologised for having sex with Baba Tee,saying she wasn’t like this.
Darasimi was accused of infidelity by her former husband Ijoba Lande who said, he could count up 21 persons including actor Baba Tee sleeping with his wife, fearing that “if he reveals their names, he may not make it home,”.
Despite initially denying it, Baba Tee admitted having a “short” sexual encounter with Darasimi while playing truth or dare game. He claimed he did not know she was Ijoba Lande’s wife.
In an interview with actress Biola Adebayo on the Talk to B podcast published on Saturday, Darasimi pleaded for forgiveness, saying she would not make such a “mistake” again.
“Ijoba Lande, don’t be upset with me. I’m also begging everyone I have disappointed, including Nigerians worldwide. This is not who I am and I pray never to make such a mistake again,” she said.
Darasimi also claimed Ijoba Lande struggled with gambling which pushed the family into financial difficulties.
“I am always surprised when people say I spent Lande’s money and dumped him. Which money did Lande have? He has never been a wealthy guy; he is an addicted gambler who spends all the money he sees on gambling,” said Darasimi.
“His love for gambling is so much such that he gambled with N2 million in a day. Aviator virtual gambling is his favourite. His gambling habit led to him selling his car to fund his gambling lifestyle. This is the reason why he is broke and depressed today. I suffered a lot by borrowing money and food from neighbours.
“He is also very hot-tempered; he hits me whenever he is angry. The major reason why I left him was when he hit me because of the ‘ajo’ money that Marygold was owing. He didn’t want me to pester her for the money. Ijoba Lande was broke when I met him but because of the love I had for him, I still went ahead to marry him. I sponsored most of the things needed during our wedding introduction.”
