Khafi And Gedoni (A Surprise!)

 These two broke the internet with their wedding pictures. Who would have known?  The two were housemates on the popular Nigerian reality show, Big Brother Naija (BBN) Season 4, Pepper Dem edition. During their time in the house, there were rumours carried by fans of the show that Khafi was pushing herself on the male housemate, Gedoni. There were even blogs that wrote about it. 

Against All Odds

To be honest, in the show, it looked more like it. One time in their diary season, Big Brother asked Khafi who she wanted to see in the top five. She mentioned herself, Gedoni and three other housemates. When it was Gedoni’s turn, her name wasn’t mentioned. Khafi was dragged all over the internet for being stupid.

In an interview with Vibe NG on YouTube, Thelma a housemate from the same season said that Gedoni and Khafi where in a fake relationship and they were not being real to each other. She said Gedoni was taking advantage but she’ll blame Khafi for not having self-control. She also accused them of always having sex in the house. 

After Gedoni got evicted from the house, Khafi later disclosed that she never had sex with Gedoni or any other housemate. This was said when the housemates were sharing things people didn’t know about them. She said she had been celibate for 8 years and she’ll never have sex with anybody on the show.  Fans were surprised because there was already a supposed leaked video of Khafi and Gedoni. Gedoni also confirmed during a Twitter Q and A session that he never slept with her. 

Also, Ike, a housemate, confirmed that it was he and Diane, a female housemate that planted the condom beside their Gedoni and Khafi’s bed to prank them. It was the condom that started the rumours of the duo sleeping together. 

The Love Triangle

After a few weeks into the Big Brother Naija house, new housemates were brought in even after several evictions. Venita Akopfure, the Nigerian actress was one of them. She seemed to be ‘trouble’ for Khafi because she started showing interest in Gedoni. During one of the live evictions, Ebuka the host asked Khafi how she feels about Venita’s intrusion in her relationship with Gedoni. Venita while speaking to Gedoni said Khafi will never have a chance if she decides to have him. Gedoni simply hugged Venita and planted a kiss on her cheeks. This even gave people more proof that Gedoni was using her.

If you weren’t a fan of Big brother, I’ll be glad to introduce you to these love birds.

Regardless of what people said and how they wrote them off, they are living proof that love conquers all.
