  • Voters return Anto and Khloe to BBNaija House

    Four weeks to the end of the Big Brother Naija show, evicted housemates Anto and Khloe have returned to the house.
    With no eviction on Sunday, the customary day for evictions, the returning housemates join the remaining nine housemates for a second chance to win the grand prize of N45m and a brand new SUV.
    Big Brother, while telling the housemates there would be no evictions forgave them their ‘transgressions’ and cancelled all the strikes against them.
    And according to host of the weekly eviction party, Ebuka, Big Brother would sneak in both housemates into the house by 3am.
    Recall that it is only last week that Anto was evicted from the house.
    She got the highest votes amongst evicted housemates from viewers to earn
    Joining Anto to make a return to the House is Khloe.
    Speaking with Ebuka, Anto promised she was bringing more drama into the house, following comments she had read on social media.
    On her relationship with Lolu whom she was romantically attached to, Anto said she was going to confront him after discovering he had someone ‘outside.’
    The other housemate, Khloe, was disqualified alongside her partner, K-Brule after committing three strikes.
    “Koko is the drama,” she said, speaking to Ebuka.
    “I’m back.”
    Armed with information from outside, Khloe said she had learnt ‘a lot of things’ including to ‘shut her mouth.’ She also revealed some tactics to deal with the remaining housemates.
    “I’m just going to be a big sister and tell her, babe, you need to calm down” she revealed of her intention of relating with Cee-C. She also disclosed that other people wanted her ‘to put Alex straight.’
    Of relationships, she also said some people wanted her to date Tobi but she said, ‘he’s not my kind of guy. But let’s see what is going to happen.’
    She also said she was going to make sure ‘nobody is sleeping’ in the house.
    Oblivious of the arrangements, the other housemates are not aware of the twist the reality tv show tagged ‘Double Wahala’ assumed last week.
    The Nigerian artiste that performed at the event was Waje.

  • I have unfinished business in the house- Anto

    Newly returned Housemate, Antoinette has stated that she has some unfinished business to take care of in the house.

    Anto wasn’t too surprised that she will be voted back into the house. She made this known to Ebuka during the Sunday live show.

    “Coming out it was evident that I was coming back. Antoarmy is coming back and I know that the Antoarmy got me.”

    When asked if she will change, she had this to say to Ebuka:

    “I honestly don’t plan on changing too much but people want a little bit more drama. I think I know now what the people are expecting from me.”

    She also acknowledged that Miracle and Tobi are her best friends, she hinted that something could grow out of it, however she will not break any couple’s relationship up.

    “Miracle and Tobi are like my best friends in the house. I don’t plan on breaking couples up but if anyone comes in my way, I will give them right back.”

    Anto revealed that she knows Lolu has a relationship outside and she will confront him about it.

    “I know of his relationship outside the house, I have found her and will surely confront him about it,” She added.

    Recall that two weeks ago, Biggie had announced that two housemates will be returning back to the house after being evicted and Anto was just about evicted then.

    Anto is the first of the second housemate to be returning back to the house and will be smuggled back into the house by 3am alongside Khloe.

  • BBNaija: Cee-C feels threatened by me – Anto

    Ex-Big Brother Housemate, Anto said Cee-C feels threatened by her during her stay in the house.

    The cool, calm and collected Anto revealed this interesting tit bit when asked about her relationship with Tobi where she revealed that she would have loved to purse a relationship with him; describing Lolu as a platonic friend.

    “Tobi is one of the persons I would love to purse a relationship in the house and possibly outside it but he has already been romantically involved with Cee-C,” Anto said.

    When Ebuka asked Anto of the possibility of another love blossoming outside of the house. She responded that she would like it but isn’t too keen about it.

    She also stated that Tobi was childish and Cee-C had continually seen her as a threat, linking her exit from the show to her.

    It finally panned out as true but with a shocker twist when Anto realised she was also nominated for eviction by Bambam as well.

    Anto was put up for eviction based on the fact that both Bambam and Cee-C saw her as a threat, as well as competitive amongst others.

  • BBNaija: I can’t promise I’ll date Lolu – evicted housemate Anto

    Evicted housemate, Anto who said she had a premonition she would be out of the house on Sunday has said she can’t promise she and fellow housemate, Lolu, would date after the show.

    Anto disclosed this when she spoke with Ebuka, host of the live eviction party after she left the house.

    Describing her experience in the house, Anto said: “The house is weird. I thought it would definitely be a bit easier. I was dealing with personalities I probably wouldn’t be dealing with in my own regularlife. But it was a great experience. I met people I probably wouldn’t have met in any other situation. I now have more friends.

    “I wanted to win the prize definitely because I need money as we all do. I have some things that I wanted to use the money for”

    Responding to a fan’s question on the ‘love triangle’ she was in with fellow housemates Lolu and Tobi, Anto said she wanted Tobi initially,  but Lolu was her ‘guy’. She also said she wasn’t certain she could date either of them.

    “Lolu’s my guy,” she said.

    “I guess in the house, he was my romantic partner.”

    She however said she wasn’t ‘promising anything’ in terms of dating.

    Anto also said Tobi is a friend but waved him off as ‘childish.’

    “Tobi is also my friend. When I first went into the house, that’s who I thought I was going to go after but Cee-C grabbed that one so I left him.”

    Ebuka then probed her if there is potential for her to date Tobi to which she dismissed Tobi as childish.

    “Now, that I’m getting to know him, I like him as a person.

    “I don’t know if I can date him but I can see that he is very childish,” Anto said.

  • Big Brother to recall two evicted housemates as Anto is evicted

    After seven weeks in the Big Brother Naija House, Anto was on Sunday evicted from the 2018 edition of the Big Brother Naija reality tv contest tagged ‘Double Wahala.’

    This leaves nine housemates in contention for the grand prize of N45m and a brand new SUV. However, two of the 11 evicted housemates will stand the chance to be recalled by viewers to compete for the prize.

    As customary, a Nigerian artiste was on ground to perform at the party and on Sunday, it was Simi’s turn to serenade attendees of the eviction live party.

    From talking of each other behind their backs, host of the live eviction show, Ebuka, looking snazzy in a well-designed Agbada, asked the housemates to talk about their feelings for each other. Surprisingly, the housemates spoke well of each other and didn’t go at each other.

    And with Teddy A, Bam-Bam, Miracle, Cee-C, Alex, Tobi, Rico, Lolu and Anto up for eviction, only Nina and Rico were free of tension as the eviction party went underway.

    Miracle who wore a shirt with a pilot’s insignia was the first person to be saved to a huge relief from Nina, his lover in the house and also the head of house. He got hugs from the other housemates.

    Teddy A, looking sharp in a floral shirt and suspenders was the  next to be saved. He too was also shown love by the remaining housemates.

    Further building up the tension, Ebuka called out Tobi and Alex but only told Alex she was saved, leaving the remaining five housemates more tensed.

    For expression of creativity, Big Brother announced the duo of Tobi and Rico as winners of the Nokia Challenge. They won shopping vouchers, Nokia phones and won one million naira cash each.

    Big Brother also announced that the housemates won their shopping allowing which they had wagered despite their poor ‘collective’ singing ability.

  • #BBNaija: Tobi, Miracle, Teddy A, others up for eviction

    Eight housemates are up for possible eviction , following the dissolution of the `strategic partnership’ by Big Brother.

    The housemates up for eviction on Sunday, March 18, include Anto, Cee C, Lolu, Bambam, Tobi, Alex, Teddy A and Miracle.

    However all the nominated housemates except Bambam and Cee C received two nominations each during the diary session on Monday night.

    Immediate past Head of House (HoH), Bambam, turned out to be the least popular housemate after she received the highest number of votes with Lolu, Tobi, Alex and Nina all nominating her.

    Controversial housemate Cee C, received the second highest number of nominations after Rico Swarvey, Alex and Miracle seemed to be displeased with her recent accusations towards Tobi.

    Miracle revealed his reason for nominating Cee C in the diary room.

    He said; “I nominated Cee C because she made unfair accusations towards Tobi”.

    Meanwhile, Alex seems to have taken the eviction of her love interest to heart after crying nonstop all through the day.

    Leo’s eviction from the Big Brother house seem to have come at her detriment because fellow housemate Anto, deemed her profuse wailing as immature and worthy of being up for eviction.

    “I nominated Alex because she might not be mature enough to handle the N25 million after last night,” Anto said.

    High point of Monday activities in the house was the twist in the nomination process.

    Big Brother, known for twisting and changing the principle of the game, altered the HoH privileges for the first time in BBNaija “Double Wahala.”

    Instead of the typical save and replace and immunity from nominations, the HoH had to rely on a “chance card” that will reveal either options.

    Current queen of the house, Nina expressed her disappointment in not getting the full privileges previous HoH’s acquired.

    “I am happy to be HoH, but I am sad that I didn’t get all the HoH privileges,” Nina added.

    The result of the nominations saw more than three third of the housemates closer to losing the grand prize.

    However Nina’s “chance card” revealed that she was immune from nominations making herself and Rico Swarvey the only housemates guaranteed safety for at least another week.

  • BBNaija: Big Brother punishes Lolu, Cee-C

    BBNaija: Big Brother punishes Lolu, Cee-C

    Lolu and Cee C have been hit with a double strike from Big Brother for breaking the rules, following their clash in the house on Wednesday. One more strike will disqualify both of them from show

    Big Brother assembled all the housemates on Thursday, and played a clip of what happened between the two housemates, when they were paired with rope the previous day.

    Afterwards, he gave his verdict, scolding them for not handling the situation maturedly before giving them double strikes each.

    Big Brother further announced that if they both survive eviction on Sunday, they will officially become pairs throughout their stay on the show.

    Lolu is currently paired with Anto, while Cee C is paired with Tobi. If both pairs survive this weekend, viewers will probably have a Team Anto (as Anto and Tobi will become pairs) and Team Celo (with Cee-C and Tobi becoming pairs).

    The housemates have been informed by Big Brother that they were competing as pairs. This means that if a housemate gets evicted, his or her partner leaves too. If a housemate gets a reward or punishment, the partner will also be at the receiving end. Khloe got a strike two weeks ago, after her partner K.Brule jumped from a balcony and injured himself.

  • BBNaija Love: The Politics of emotion

    BBNaija Love: The Politics of emotion

    I now see why Anto and Lolu make a good fit.

    Lolu is a smart ass. Every response he has given to Cee-C has been on point. Probably Cee-C has met the man she ought to be with.

    And just like Cee-C, every lady has the only person who can perfectly handle her and tell her the truth to her face. I hope Tobi realises he is just a fool for love after all. What Cee-C still terms a “partnership.”

    In the end, BamBam seems to be Tobi’s fit. The empathy they share resonates loudly and within. Like a soulmate. A sudden ray of peace like a home made meal that greets you after a hectic day from Lagos Streets.

    The irony of this evening, a lesson so real. Real enough to be grasped like today’s match when Real face PSG and hearts continue to beat in fear, worry and anxiety.

    I think Big Brother teaches us how to live life in an enigmatic philosophy. And beyond all the trash we call it, there is a subtle message that we cannot see.

    One that is re-enacted in Lords of the Flies and Joseph Conrad’s Book. Heart of darkness I think. How the intricacies of man begins to yield true meaning after sometime.

    Hell yeah, and that is life. Life is a flowing stream that continues to yield meaning and we need just one person to brighten it to be real enough to us.

    And for as long as these housemates continue to bring drama to our screens; We also will continue to learn that life is but a journey in bits and bits and tiny scraps and pieces till we reach the end.

    With someone that can handle us by and by, so that we can at least make more meaning to Iife and to live the way we ought to.

  • How Big Brother is making a ‘flirt’ of Lolu

    How Big Brother is making a ‘flirt’ of Lolu

    Tuesday was rowdy in the Big Brother Naija House. It was just Day 10 of this year’s edition of the reality show, and bottled emotions are exploding already. This time, it was clearly about food.

    Although the outburst was between Princess, the notable ‘cook’ in the House and Cee-C, the self-isolating strategic-turned-romance partner of the Head of House, Tobi; other housemates took side albeit distantly.

    Princess’ overbearing kitchen role did not go well with some housemates who either did not like a particular meal or felt they were given a small portion of the food.

    However, two events introduced by Biggie doused the tension – an urgent pantomime production that required the cooperation of all housemate, and a secret task given to the gentle Lolu and partner of the daring Anto to woo any other female housemate in the house and get them to fall in love with him.

    While they were busy with the drama sketch, audition and rehearsal, attention shifted naturally from the previous quarrel. Also, everyone was wary of Lolu, knowing he had something up his sleeve. To complicate matter for Lolu, Biggie was to reward any housemate who is able to figure out what secret task he was given. The two ladies of his target – Ahneeka and Vandora – have been avoiding him not knowing the real nature of his task.

    After their presentation of the pantomime, he began to chat and flirt with Ahneeka in the kitchen, trying to make her laughs, letting her know she is the kind of girl he likes. Whether or not Ahneeka would yield his advances, one snag is clear; all the ladies know that Anto is Lolu‘s paired partner and they had expressed fondness openly.

     

     

  • I’ve slept with a lot of men – Anto

    I’ve slept with a lot of men – Anto

    One week after the ongoing Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality show kicked off; animosity, tension of eviction and daring activities have begun among the 20 housemates.

    In one of the events leading to a reunion between Anto and Kbrule, Anto said frankly to Kbrule that kissing means nothing to her, as she had slept with a lot of men without attaching emotions to the act.

    “I’m a grown ass woman; I’ve f..ked a lot of niggas.

    “No one should take this personal, everybody is having good time, it’s all a game.

    “The same way I kissed him, I have kissed others,” she said.

    Recall that Kbrule injured himself after Anto shunned his romantic advances only to offer Lolu a passionate kiss during an ice cream challenge on Saturday.

    The fair-skinned male housemate, who sprained his ankle and wrist by jumping from the first floor, however escaped being ejected from the show after contravening Section 61, Sub-section 1 of the reality show’s rule.

    The rule forbids contestants from any kind of violence, including self-inflicted ones.

    Kbrule, according to Biggie, will be sacked from the show should a similar error be committed twice more. His pair in the game, Khloe, will share the same fate as the rule of the game applies.

    On Sunday night, the housemates showed how daring they could be, when they played the popular ‘Truth or Dare’ game.

    While Princess was the queen of the game, Alex, Miracle, and Ifu did not shy away from erotic challenges assigned to them, while Kbrule showed his grouse for Anto by choosing the punishment of eating red pepper instead of kissing her.

    As the tension of nomination for possible eviction also pervades the house, show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu revealed that the nominations among housemates will be fake, as they won’t require the usual voting by fans of the show.
