“Note: As you come here to say NO BLOG MENTIONED YOUR NAME, but some of you remembered to tag me or put in a comment with my name in their comment sessions… May you and your entire family suffer from depression and untimely death!”

After the welcoming words, Biggie promptly told the 20 housemates what he had in store for the maiden edition of Big brother Titans with the theme, ‘Ziyakhala Wahala.’

“The next few weeks will be filled with challenging moments and difficult decisions, but – like ore getting refined to pure gold – this will be an incredibly rewarding experience.

“As you embark on this expedition, Big Brother wants you to remember that this challenge is not just about winning or losing. Instead, it’s about every single facet of the experience: the highs, the lows, and everything in between,” he said.

Continuing, Big Brother said, “You will be challenged to think critically and creatively; you will have to learn to work together as you live together. It’s about pushing yourself beyond every limit you may have thought you had.

“There will be times when the obstacles before you might make you question your ability to see this through. Housemates, in those moments, remember that you are titans, and nothing can stop you.”

Biggie added: “Big Brother hereby extends a warm welcome to all of you and wishes you the best of luck on this incredible journey. May the odds be in your favor, and may you emerge from this stronger than ever. Ziyakhala Wahala. Good evening, housemates and remember, Big Brother is always watching.”

“I have clamoured for Igbo presidency in the last few years, you wouldn’t believe it.

“I said, ‘Fuck Ndi’Igbo to hell with it – the ‘it’ refers to the peddlers of the movement i.e people championing for it.”
