The pair, during a virtual interview,  in Lagos, appreciated their fans for the support they have enjoyed so far, in keeping them on the show for three weeks.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the streeze pair with individual names Ogunyemi Oluwatobi “Toby Forge”, and Mayowa Adewumi “Mayor Frosh”, were evicted from the reality television show on Aug. 18.

“We thank God for the love and support from our fans and the organiser of the show. This is an experience we cherish so much, we are lucky to have participated and we are grateful for the experience.

“A lot of life lessons have been learnt,” they said.

Reacting to their eviction which witnessed eight pairs of the housemates nominating them, Mayor Frosh said it was unexpected.

“Truly, the house was divided, we had initial bond with Nelita, Beta, Chekas and even all the housemates and I was disappointed they all nominated us.

”I felt they were for us but I now understand, that happened due to conflict of interest,” he said.

Speaking on how Streeze picked the Ndinne pair for eviction in the second week, Mayor Frosh explained that the decision was a difficult one for them due to their closeness.

“For me to take that decision, it was an emotional one, it was hurting me on the inside, I was really close to Nne and after that decision, I was down throughout the night, it took me a while to recover.

“Now that we are out, we will reach out to them, the friendship we had in the house was genuine,” he said.

Reacting to Double Kay’s marital status, Toby Forge who was interested in a relationship with Kassia, said “E pain me ooo”.

”It was a painful one for me when I got to know, although I suspected something was between them.

“I didn’t know it was up to marriage, I just thought they were dating. The emotion was high in the house, but I am out now, I am fine.

“I am a gentle boy, not a bad boy. I didn’t know Kassia was married, If I knew, I wouldn’t have approached her.”

Going forward, 27-year-old Toby Forge said as an established content creator, he would be embracing acting, public relations and choreography.

Also, 25-year-old Mayor Frosh, who said he had been a content creator before going for the show, noted that he would expand this as well as embrace the entertainment industry fully, with keen interest in being a voice-over artiste. (NAN)

Why I Don’t Support Disrespectful Wives—Nollywood Star

Funke Akindele, the Nigerian filmmaker, says despite being a feminist, she does not encourage women being disrespectful to their husbands.

A feminist is someone who advocates the political, economic, and social equality of women.

In a video addressing skit maker Kamo State and his wife, the filmmaker said she rejects the notion that women are the “weaker sex,” emphasising that they are “strong and bold”.

She urged men to treat women “specially” and not confine them to traditional roles of being in the kitchen.

She further stressed the importance of women’s economic power, advising them to secure financial independence to support their husbands.

“I’m a feminist but I do not support a woman disrespecting her husband. Do what is right,” she said.

“I believe that we are not the weaker sex or vessel. Men are suppose to treat us specially and respect us. Men should not also feel that a woman belongs to the kitchen and can be talked to anyhow.

“We women are strong, and bold. Also, our economic power is important that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect it so we can support our husbands.”

Akindele and producer Abdulrasheed ‘JJC Skillz’ Bello tied the knot in London in 2016 and welcomed a set of twin boys in 2018.

But in June 2022, JJC Skillz announced his separation from Akindele, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

The singer claimed he tried to address the situation but the matter is now “beyond repair.”
