The ‘Lockdown’ housemate is 28 years and a dance instructor.
He also revealed that he has a son and hopes to get married soon.
“I am engaged and have a son but I hope to get married soon.
“I was also involved in a relationship with two girls at the same time and they were in the know about it,” Praise added.
His revelation has put an answer to speculations that he was married after pictures emerged on social media hours after BBNaija opened officially.
Twenty housemates are in this year’s BBNaija show to battle for the grand prize of N85m for a duration of ten weeks.
Fresh facts have emerged that the ex-classmate who knocked down Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile is a civilian who had no valid driving papers.
The country was thrown into mourning on Tuesday when the Nigerian Air Force first announced that the country’s first female combat helicopter pilot died from a road traffic accident at the NAF base in Kaduna State.
The air force said the female officer sustained head injuries from the accident when she was “inadvertently hit by the reversing vehicle of an excited former Air Force secondary school classmate while trying to greet her.”
Quoting military sources on Saturday, Channels Television reported that the sources, who preferred to remain anonymous, said the civilian driver, accompanied by his friends, visited his relations at the Airforce base located in Mando area of Kaduna metropolis on the day of the incident.
It added that upon interrogation, the driver and former classmate, who is now in custody with another occupant of the vehicle, has no valid driver’s license.
Meanwhile, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, said Arotile would be buried Thursday, July 23, at the National Military Cemetery, Abuja, with full military honours.
Arotile, a member of the Nigerian Defence Academy Regular Course 64, hailed from Iffe in the Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, and contributed to the efforts to rid the North-Central states of bandits and other criminal elements by flying combat missions.
She was particularly a squadron leader in Operation Gama Aiki in Minna Niger State.
Notable Nigerians, including the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), had since Wednesday expressed shock over her death.
Renowned Nigeria pastor, Chris Omashola was involved in a ghastly motor accident on Saturday in Warri Delta State.
Omashola, who is the founder of Zionwealth Church, Lekki, Lagos was said to have been involved in the accident around 3.00pm. He was said to be driving alone in Toyota Camry when the accident occurred.
Omashola was reportedly rushed to Skyphon Medical Centre, Refinery Road, Warri. The extent of the injuries sustained has not been ascertained.
The 320-kilometre standard gauge rail line connecting the port city of Warri, Delta State and Itakpe, Okene in Kogi State including the station buildings has been declared reading for commissioning.
The operational hub of the rail line located in Agbor, Delta State, has also been named after the immediate past president of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan.
Although the standard gauge line connecting three states including Kogi, Edo, Delta has since April 2019 been used for commercial operations while the construction of the 13 station buildings along the corridor was ongoing.
But the Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi while inspecting the project on Sunday said the rail was ready for commissioning and may be commissioned by the President virtually.
He disclosed that contractor handling the project Julius Berger has moved from the site while the China Civil Engineering Construction Company, (CCECC) is maintaining just a little presence saying what is left is for them to handover to the Nigeria Railway Cooperation (NRC), and Transport Ministry.
Amaechi said the NRC’s director of rail Engr Baba Kobi will double as the managing director for now until there is an arrangement to do the final inspection and take over from CCECC and Julius Berger.
Expressing satisfaction with the quality of work, he said: “When you see a good job, don’t ask questions. The camera will show that this is a good job, this is the Goodluck Jonathan Agbor Station which incorporates the railway facilities. Julius Berger and CCECC teams have all done a good job. We will know if NRC has done a good job when they manage it properly because the issue is maintenance”.
“I don’t want to come here in the next four, five years and it looks worn out. I have seen the toilet facilities they look good but typical of us, I hope in the next five years it will be intact because in Kubwa now, those things look worn out, if you break anything, replace it or repair it. I think we should learn to maintain the infrastructure that we inherit”.
The newly wedded bride, Liz Anjorin took to social media to address the lies surrounding her marriage. Liz say’s
“My husband is living alone in his apartment. I state to counter all the lies surrounding my recent marriage to my lovely husband, Been a public figure, I should have to live by example as such be conscious, mindful and careful of what I do, but notwithstanding doesn’t mean I have to cowardly ignore ill statements being circulated on social media.
I have first and foremost been very good friend to my husband for a whole fourteen years, this means that I know all of his activities, whom and who he has dated and been with, which doesn’t define valid and legal marriage under the act. Marrying my friend of over fourteen years means he is a good man and generous man, but the reason he did marry them legally is known to him alone.
The pictures been displayed on social media by these haters, are people never known to my husband. I am aware of the provision of the law on bigamy, blacks law dictionary difines Bigamy as the act of marrying one person while legally married to another. The criminal code law of Lagos State Cap C17, 2004 section 370 provides for the punishment of the act. All these myself and my legal husband are aware of, so if anyone knows nor think otherwise, such person should proceed to court to prove such or post her certificate here on social media to infect innocent followers with their hieght of frustration.
AKANBI MA FO MO WA PELU E TILL DEATH DO US PATH WHEN WILL CLOCK 200YRS ..
BIKO BUY SOYOYO & IRUNMIJOLO
WE SELL LAND WE SELL CARS
If you ve baby/ies for my husband I will gladly accept it, once DNA proves it *OMO NI INI OLUWA* Me and my husband mansion is big enough to accommodate 10,000 children..peace
Happy married life Liz Anjorin
The death of the highly celebrated 23 year old helicopter pilot, Tolu Arotile, is sad and tragic.
She was courageous and formidable in battle, doing much harm to Boko Haram.
The idea that she was killed by being knocked down on the Airforce Base by her best friend’s car is nonsensical.
Who is this best friend and what is his/her name?
I suspect that Tolu was murdered and the truth is bring covered up. I urge the Chief of Air Staff to investigate this matter thoroughly. So much is being read into it and it does not augur well for the reputation of the Air Force. Justice must be done.
May Tolu’s soul rest in peace and may the Lord comfort her parents and family.
Mr Akintunde Akotile, father of Nigeria’s first female combat helicopter pilot, Tolulope, who passed away on Tuesday, has disclosed their last conversation before she died.
Akotile said he called his daughter on the phone on Tuesday at about 1:00pm on her return from an operation against bandits in Katsina State and the two of the had a several minutes chat.
He however, revealed that things took a different turn later in the day when he received a call from a person.
He said, “She told me that she will later go out to make some photocopies and I told her not to be long and to return home on time because she was staying with my first daughter in Kaduna.
“Around 5:30pm, somebody called me and asked if I had called her and I said yes. The person told me to call her again which I did, but there was no response. So, I called her colleagues and they were all crying on phone. I asked what happened, they were just crying.
“I called one of her bosses who told me that she was in the mortuary. I was shocked because said she was somebody I spoke with four hours earlier and by 5:00pm she was in the mortuary.”
The bereaved father further disclosed that he had to drive to Lokoja, Kogi State, from Abuja to inform his wife about the incident.
Recalling the early days of his late daughter, Mr Akotile said, “She has not just been brilliant but wonderful. She did all her education from kindergarten to nursery at the Air Force base and Nigeria Defence Academy, Kaduna.
“One day, when she was very small, she pointed to one small aircraft packed on the field and said one day she was going to fly that aircraft, and I said Amen.
“So, from that day she started working towards getting admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna. She had a degree in Mathematics and became an Air Force Cadet.
“From there, she was sent on several courses abroad and became a pilot.
“I thank God that she was able to achieve her dreams as a baby before her death.”
“A story of Loyalty and Love
……A tribute to my love in my lovely moment.
Even if I become richest lady in the world, I think I need to give glory back to a selfless man that stood with 100% loyalty or any element of betrayal.
The car you gave me money to buy was stolen by a man I chose over you, but you never bothered.
You gave me your own personal car just to cover my shame in public, you were taking bike around Lagos, you had accident on bike you refuse to tell me just for me to keep the car.
Just one day, you bought me a car and an apartment just for me to rise again when I thought it was over in Lagos.
I was about carrying my shame back to ijebu-ode where I schooled,
You said, Liz! Eko yi lo ti ma sorire.
I am ready to sell my kidney to make you become somebody in life.
I wasnt this brave then. You once told me that suicide was not an option. I should stand on my feet to make it in life, that is only return you need from me..
May Allah give us long life and all beautiful things of life so that, I can come out and tell the whole world our story.

The 33-year-old Gokada CEO Fahim Saleh (right) was murdered over money that his former PA (left) had stolen from him.
Text messages show the 21-year-old PA was stealing his money running into tens of thousands of dollars and he found out. The late CEO did not report his PA for theft but drew up a repayment plan for him.
The PA used his credit card to buy the saw used to cut Fahim’s head and slice Fahim’s body.
