My Biggest Regret For My Father – Ex-BBNaija Housemate, Leo Dasilva Opens Up
Former Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Leo Babarinde Dasilva, has taken to his Instagram page to make some revelations about the relationship he had with his late father, Leo Babarinde Dasilva Snr, who he rarely talks about.
Below is how he shared his story; “I always avoided speaking about my father while growing up. This wasn’t because I didn’t know who he was, in fact he never hesitated to tell me exactly who I am and who he was each and every time.
One major reason I avoided it was because who he was didn’t match my reality and kids would label me a liar. My reality was never what he told me or my name, my reality at the time was my struggling single mother who gave me more than she had to make me a great man.
My father taught me two important things in life on this day
1. Do not trust or rely on anyone asides yourself.
2. Don’t ever get carried away or plan your life around promises from people.
One of my greatest regrets is still alienating him during his last months alive. But it won’t have been the first time. We had loads of arguments from 2009 – 2015 because I became too aware too quick.
I believed all the family I needed was my mother so my dad and I could go an entire year without speaking.
I will give him credit for one thing which was I still believe was a huge gamble, telling me to start making my own money at 16 while I was living in another man’s country. Without him cutting me off, I would not have become a serial entrepreneur.
Long and short of this, I loved my Father very much and people close to him would know he loved me just as much. We had our differences but it was mostly because we were the same people.
Continue to rest in peace Sir Leo Babarinde Dasilva Snr(1949-2015).

“Don’t Be Deceived by Twitter Polls or Social Media Hype” – Burna Boy Advises Fellow Artists
Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has offered some candid advice to fellow musicians, urging them not to get carried away by online popularity.
In a message shared via his Instagram Stories, Burna warned artists not to be fooled by Twitter polls or the support of Nigerian social media fans, pointing out that this virtual applause rarely translates into real-world success—especially when it comes to filling stadiums around the globe.
He emphasized that achieving a number one spot on streaming platforms in Nigeria shouldn’t be seen as the pinnacle of success. Instead, he encouraged artists to set bigger goals or consider having alternative business ventures.
His post read:
> “Dear artists,
Don’t let Twitter polls and Naija social media fans deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world.
Your song being Number 1 on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate. Aim higher or do other businesses on the side. I type with love. No sign of aw.”
In a similar vein, singer Spyro also had a message for upcoming acts. He advised that signing to a major label or linking up with a top artist is no guarantee of success. According to Spyro, having a “failure mentality”—where one expects everything to be handed to them—will only lead to amplified failure, no matter how big the platform.
He stressed the importance of diligence and hard work, stating that talent alone isn’t enough. Spyro urged emerging artists to stop chasing fantasies and start putting in real effort to build their careers.
