Why I'm Disappointed in BBNaija's Boma - Senator
The My Flatmates comedian speaks out.
Big Brother Naija is now in full swing. At this point, a lot of people already have their favorites, the people they don't like, the couples they ship, etc. In the house, we've begun to witness drama, romance building up, fights, and all the gbas gbos that is expected during a new season of Big Brother.
A lot of us are watching Big Brother. If you yourself are not watching, you're probably still being bombarded by the news on every social media platform you turn to or any place you walk into in town that has a television. It's everywhere.
Naturally what that means is that your favorite celebrities are also watching alongside you and they too have their thoughts on some of your favorite housemates. One such celebrity that had something to say about one of the housemates' actions on the show is My Flatmates actor and comedian, Bethel Njoku known popularly and professionally as Senator.
During Tuesday's episode of The Buzz, he alongside host Toke Makinwa and some other panelists tabled the matter of the week and one person's actions Senator was not thrilled about at all was contestant Boma.
This is what Senator said.

Over the past weekend, housemates Boma and Angel got into a very heated argument which really showed us a side of Boma that we hadn't seen before. He was very angry at Angel and they both exchanged caustic words at each other. He called her a bastard, he charged at her, she gave it to him back, people got involved...you know, usual Big Brother day.
Well, speaking about that issue, Big Brother Naija S06: The Buzz host Toke Makinwa said on the show,
Let's talk about Boma and Angel. That was really heated. He called her a bastard. I mean, I like Boma but I was like... (questioning face)
Youtuber influencer Olufemi Daniel, who was also a guest on the show, continued:
The painful thing is that Jackie B wasn't there. If Jackie B saw that fight, that forehead peck she gave to Boma wouldn't have happened because why would you be charging? I know we take things differently and we take things personally but here you are charging at a girl who is supposed to be like your sister or if not sister, your home mate.
That's when Senator jumped into the conversation and said:
Can I say something? Any man who makes that kind of move can beat a woman and I don't like that. Why would you charge at her? The strengths are not the same and he kept saying things like "if not for this place," bro if you don't need this place, you leave. Why are you here? You don't charge at a woman, that's really bad.
Everybody it seems was on the same page about that fight between Angel and Boma. You don't charge at a woman like that, it's completely wrong. Boma really disappointed a lot of people that day.
What did YOU think about it? Do you agree with what Senator and the other guests said or do you think Boma was justified in his actions? Let me know your thoughts on the issue by leaving a comment under my Facebook post.
That's All.

Freezing Rain and Ice Disrupt Travel Across Central and Eastern Europe
Dangerous winter weather brings chaos to roads, rails, and airports as authorities urge caution A powerful wave of freezing rain and ice storms has swept across large parts of central and eastern Europe, bringing daily life to a near standstill and creating hazardous travel conditions for millions. From Germany and Austria to Poland, the Czech Republic, and parts of the Balkans, ice-coated roads, grounded flights, and disrupted rail services have turned routine journeys into dangerous ordeals. Meteorologists warn that freezing rain — one of the most treacherous winter weather phenomena — poses a greater risk than snowfall because it creates an invisible glaze of ice that is nearly impossible to detect until it is too late. What Is Freezing Rain and Why Is It So Dangerous? Freezing rain occurs when rain falls through a layer of warm air and then passes into sub-zero temperatures near the ground. Instead of freezing mid-air like snow, the rain remains liquid until it hits a cold surface, where it instantly turns to ice. The result is black ice — a thin, transparent layer that covers roads, sidewalks, power lines, aircraft wings, and railway tracks. Unlike snow, it offers no traction and is extremely difficult to remove. Experts describe freezing rain as one of winter’s most dangerous hazards, capable of crippling transport networks within hours. Travel Chaos Across the Region Across central and eastern Europe, the effects have been swift and severe. Major highways have reported multi-vehicle accidents, while local roads have become impassable in rural and mountainous areas. In several countries, authorities temporarily closed sections of motorways after trucks jackknifed on ice-slick surfaces. Rail networks were also hit hard. Ice accumulation on overhead lines caused power failures and signal disruptions, forcing trains to run at reduced speeds or be canceled altogether. Thousands of passengers were stranded at stations as operators struggled to keep services running safely. Air travel faced similar challenges. Airports in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic reported delays and cancellations as aircraft required repeated de-icing. Even a thin layer of ice can dramatically affect an aircraft’s lift, making safety checks essential but time-consuming. Emergency Services Under Pressure Emergency responders across the region were stretched thin as calls surged. Ambulances struggled to reach patients on icy streets, while fire brigades responded to accidents, fallen trees, and damaged power lines. Hospitals also reported a rise in slip-and-fall injuries, particularly among older residents. Broken bones, head injuries, and hypothermia cases increased as people attempted to navigate frozen sidewalks. Authorities urged residents to avoid non-essential travel and to remain indoors whenever possible. Power Outages and Infrastructure Damage Beyond transport, the ice storm also affected energy infrastructure. Ice-laden power lines sagged and snapped under the weight, leading to localized power outages in several regions. In rural areas, repair crews faced dangerous conditions as they worked to restore electricity. Icy roads slowed response times, leaving some communities without power for extended periods during freezing temperatures. Telecommunications networks also experienced disruptions, further complicating emergency response efforts. Economic Impact and Business Disruptions The freezing rain has had an immediate economic impact. Delivery services were delayed, factories reduced shifts due to staff shortages, and retailers reported lower foot traffic as customers stayed home. Logistics companies warned that prolonged icy conditions could disrupt supply chains, particularly for food and medical supplies that rely on just-in-time delivery systems. Tourism was also affected, with winter destinations reporting canceled bookings and delayed arrivals, even as ski resorts benefited from colder temperatures at higher elevations. Climate Change and Extreme Winter Weather Scientists point out that climate change may be contributing to more frequent freezing rain events. As winters become warmer overall, temperatures often hover around the freezing point — the exact conditions needed for freezing rain. This creates a paradox where regions experience fewer snowstorms but more ice storms, which can be far more destructive. Climatologists warn that infrastructure across Europe was largely designed for snow, not prolonged ice events, leaving cities vulnerable as weather patterns evolve. Authorities Urge Vigilance Governments and meteorological agencies issued repeated warnings, advising drivers to reduce speed, increase braking distance, and equip vehicles with winter tires and emergency kits. Pedestrians were encouraged to wear non-slip footwear and use handrails whenever possible. Schools in several areas shifted to remote learning to reduce travel risks. Officials emphasized that patience and caution save lives, reminding citizens that even experienced drivers cannot control a vehicle on black ice. Looking Ahead Forecasts suggest that temperatures may gradually rise in some areas, easing icy conditions, while others could face additional freezing rain before the system moves on. Cleanup and repairs are expected to continue for days, even after the weather improves. The freezing rain sweeping across central and eastern Europe serves as a stark reminder that winter’s most dangerous storms are not always the most visible. As climate patterns continue to change, authorities and citizens alike may need to rethink how they prepare for — and respond to — ice, not just snow.
