In a surprising turn of events, the Nne Nne duo, consisting of Nneamaka and Chinne, have claimed the Head of House (HoH) title in the second week of Big Brother Naija’s “No Loose Guard” season.

The niece-and-aunt pair, who also held the HoH position in the first week, took over from the Mbadiwe Twins.

Though they do not have immunity, they will get to enjoy the HoH condo and the treats attached to the position.

When called upon by Biggie to pick their guests, they invited DoubleKay as their guests, to enjoy the HoH condo with them.

As guests, DoubleKay will enjoy the treats in the HoH condo, but not allowed to take any back into the main house.

The process was the same as the previous week, as Biggie called a pair and they moved to the arena, where there were 13 tiles and 13 ballot boxes.

All they did was to write the name of their preferred pair, raised their hands to indicate that they had made their decision and cast their ballot. 

The dynamic duo ‘Tami’, consisting of Toyosi and Dami, has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ season, becoming the first pair to leave the house.

This eviction reduces the number of pairs to 13, setting the stage for intense competition and shifting house dynamics.

Initially, four pairs received the fewest votes: Chekas (Chizoba and Onyeka), Streeze (Mayor Frosh and Toby Forge), Radicals (Mickhy and Fairme David), and Tami (Toyosi and Dami).Related News

However, the custodians, Chinne and Nne, exercised the power, granted by Big Brother, and they saved the Radicals.

The remaining saved pairs were then asked to vote out a pair in the diary room, ultimately leading to Tami’s eviction.

Popular  Canadian female artiste,  Celine Dion, has revealed that her songs will outlive her for many years.

The 56-year-old artiste made this known while granting an interview with Smooth Radio.

According to the ailing singer she would be remembered for her classic hits even if she stopped singing in the near future.

“I think if you’re part of one classic in your life, if you’re fortunate enough to have one classic in your life, you can be remembered for the rest of your journey if you want to stop singing tomorrow,” she said.

“And I don’t wanna sound pretentious saying this but… I think I’m all set!”

She  made her comeback performance in four years at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, amid her battle with stiff-person’s syndrome.

Some of Celine Dion’s classics include ‘Love Can Move Mountains’ (1992), ‘The Power of Love’ (1993), ‘My Heart Will Go On’ (1997), ‘I’m Your Angel’ (1998), and ‘I’m Alive’ (2000).

Africa, a continent known for its numerous unique cultures and tourist attractions often gets a negative perception when it comes to its level of safety. However, there are cities across the continents where their residents enjoy a safe and peaceful life like it or not.

This mid-2024 report by data platform, Numebo, after considering key factors, sheds light on the top 10 safest African cities. The cities and their counties are listed below along with their respective safety indexes:

1. Tunis, Tunisia 51.9
2. Cairo, Egypt 49.3
3. Algiers, Algeria 48.4
4. Casablanca, Morocco 44.6
5. Nairobi, Kenya 40.5
6. Harare, Zimbabwe 38.7
7. Windhoek, Namibia 32.7
8. Lagos, Nigeria 31.6
9. Cape Town, South Africa 26.2
10. Port Elizabeth, South Africa 22.3

What makes a city safe?

A city’s safety is determined by several different factors, ranging from crime rate to effective law enforcement and social services. Here are a few factors that determine a city’s safety:

1. Effective law enforcement: This involves police presence, crime prevention measures, and community policing. Having effective and responsive law enforcement agencies builds trust and confidence.

2. Urban planning and design: This includes the use of cameras in strategic locations, well-lit streets, and roads and the safety of public spaces.

3. Emergency services: The ability to receive quick responses from fire and medical emergency departments.

4. Crime rate: Probably the most important, a low crime rate is naturally a key indicator of the level of security in a city. The ability to freely move around without the fear of attack, whether during the day or at night, greatly determines the safety index of a city.

5. Infrastructure: Having transport safety with safe and reliable public transportation systems determines a city’s safety index. Along with measures to reduce traffic accidents like traffic lights, speed limits, and pedestrian crossings.

Additionally, the presence of building codes and regulations to prevent accidents and structural damage goes a long way.

Things to note

While this list offers a valuable overview of safety in African cities, every city has its unique challenges. Safety is an evolving factor, and individual experiences can vary.
