Ex-BBNaija housemate Kiddwaya has come out to respond to public criticism over his call for donations to support victims of the ongoing crisis in Benue State. He recently said that his gesture was not for clout, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he only deleted the post asking for donations to respect the feelings of Nigerians who misunderstood his intentions and got triggered, but he will never stop speaking up when people’s lives are in danger.
He added that his concern came from a place of genuine concern and out of love for his state of origin, Benue.
His words, “I didn’t post about Benue for clout. I did it because I care. I’m a proud Benue man, and what’s happening there is heartbreaking. I took the post down not out of shame but out of respect for the voices speaking out—even the angry ones.
Families are being torn apart. Innocent lives are being lost. That’s the tragedy.
This was never about me—it’s about the people of Benue. I won’t stop showing up when lives are on the line.”
WOW.

The first season of the show first aired on DStv Channel 37 from March 5 to June 4, 2006. In a twist to the game, two new contestants were introduced on Day 23, much to the excitement of the remaining housemates.
Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.
Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
