    One thing I’ve grown less like for through BBNaija’s seasons, by Ebuka

    Popular BBNaija’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has disclosed that singular thing he’s grown to like less over the course of the reality TV show’s seasons.

    He said overtime, it became distasteful for him whenever he heard any of the participants claiming to be just themselves on the show.

    Ebuka thought it was lame for anyone to come on a show of that magnitude to simply play the ‘I was just myself’ card without some game plan to stay relevant and possibly win the grand prize worth several tens of millions.

    He recounted few persons who managed to ‘play the game’ while some others threaded cautiously or even went totally cold after they were jabbed.

    For the media personality, nothing excites him more about the show than to witness housemates play the game without deviating.

    Speaking on Channels TV’s ‘Rubbin’ Minds’, co-hosted by Beauty Tukura and Prince Nelson, Ebuka explained: “One thing I’ve grown to like a lot less over the seasons are people who come in and say, ‘I was just myself.’

    “It’s a good thing, but I also say that there is money to be won, how do you not come in with a game plan?

    “I always feel like, if you are coming to win a N100 million, whatever it is, there should be some plan. And we don’t get that very often.

    “Pere gave us a bit of that, then sort of disappeared at some point when I dragged him small and he sort of chilled.

    “I like people who play the game and sticked with it.

    “Miracle did that quiet a bit. Miracle and Tobi in their season. They had a bit of competition that was very interesting. But they also had woman matter around them”.

    According to Adekunle Gold, he wasn’t in the best of moods after his last album ‘Catch Me If You Can’ was postponed and to help lift his mood, he was handed a bottle of Tequila.
    That was his first time taking that brand of alcohol and according to AG, the alcohol put him in a whole new mood.

    “I discovered tequila for the first time last year yeah, I know. We had moved my ‘Catch Me If You Can’ release that day, and I was so upset about it. I wanted the album to come out at a certain time, so I was just upset and obviously, they knew I needed an antidote or something. They brought me a bottle of Patron and I had just one shot… I’m telling you, tequila makes everything better.
    “My mood lifted so much and I’m like ‘sheesh!’. It felt so good.
    “I pay attention to things a lot and I’m like wait, this experience should not just happen like this without me talking about it. I wondered what if people listen to my music and this is how they feel? I made a song that day and it was a beautiful song and I’m like you know what, I’m going to carry on with this energy. I’m going to let people feel this way after one shot.”
    ‘Tequila Ever After’ is AG’s fifth album which will fully usher in his Tio Tequila artistic era.
    According to AG, the album is the fifth level of his adventure, and he’s at his most happy, cheerful, and confident.
    “I’m on level five of my adventure game and it’s all fun. It’s happy, it’s a party, it’s more confident, all better off. When you take tequila, it’s all better off you don’t give any damn, you just say whatever you want to say, and that’s what ‘Tequila Ever After’ means.
    “It’s a metaphor for where I am in my life right now. I’m in a very happy state – like very, very happy and I want it to shine through the music.”
