    BBN: TBoss, Debie-Rise, Bally, Marvis up for eviction

    …Bisola saves Efe from eviction

    Tension returned to the Big Brother Naija house as Monday’s fresh nominations put TBoss, Debie-Rise, Bally, and Marvis up for eviction, just less than 24 hours after the trio of Bally, TBoss and Debbie-Rise narrowly escaped eviction.

    The house also experienced a rare change in leadership as Bisola became victorious in this week’s head of house contest, after over 78 days of anticipation and several botched attempts at clinching the house leadership. She emerged top after winning the head of house contest. Bisola replaces Efe, who was the immediate past ultimate head of House and was unfortunately nominated for eviction but was saved by Bisola, the new queen of the house.

    The nomination jolted some of the housemates who all have to sit back and re-think their strategies. For embattled Debie-Rise and TBoss, synergy appears to be the working strategy as both openly canvassed for voters’ support. Recall that both of them have been up for eviction back to back in the last two weeks.

    TBoss got upset after taking a look at the eviction wall and realising she had been put up for possible eviction eight times and there are only two times she hasn’t been up.

    Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, during last Sunday’s live eviction show, said, at least, one of the newly nominated housemates will have to go home by Sunday.

    The next eviction show holds on Sunday, April 1, 2017.

    Organisers have urged viewers to save their favorite housemates. In Nigeria, viewers are expected to text the word “Vote” followed by the housemate’s name to 32052. While for the rest of Africa, they are advised to follow the AfricaMagictv official account on WeChat and click on the menu option ‘BBNaija’ and select their preferred housemate.

    The show is aired 24/7 in 45 countries from Nigeria through East, West and Southern Africa on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 29.

    Big Brother Naija is sponsored by online retail store, PayPorte.

  • ThinTallTony faces life after BBNaija

    ThinTallTony faces life after BBNaija

    BBNaija housemate, ThinTallTony, has returned to the country after Sunday night’s eviction show. Apparently still in shock over his sudden removal from the show, the lanky contestant is being confronted with questions, bothering on his earlier claim that his family members are all dead.
    It started with Efe being told to stay back by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, as he was saved from eviction and then the most underrated Debbie-Rise, coming second in the votes ranking.
    When the bomb was released, it hit straight into ThinTall Tony’s heart. It was a great shock. His eyes were laced with tears. His female ally, Bisola, cried out loud. Bally looked on with starry eyes.
    ThinTallTony now has the outside world to contend with. He had claimed he had nowhere to go to, saying to his fellow housemates that his family was dead, while fans of the show have been campaigning with the hash-tag that he should return to his wife, Laraba, and two children. This was against the backdrop of his flirting with Bisola and TBoss at intervals.
    Joining Ebuka on stage, the 5.7ft dancer said: “I’ve waited for 12 years to be here. I lived it to the fullest. I’m living the dream.”
    He said it was heartbreaking that he was evicted, but it’s all good.
    Playing back his kissing scenes with Bisola, he claimed he was merely acting. “No offense to anybody, but that was not real. I know that I felt something for her. She is an incredible woman. But we spoke about it and took it maturely.”
    Asked about his wife and children, who he admitted are real, he said: ‘Like I said in the game, I never spoke about my family. I kept it really separated, I don’t want anyone to know about that part of my life because the truth is, I’ve done research before about people, humans, and how they think, not just in Nigeria but around Africa. When I did that research, I realized there is a way people look at you when you are married, especially in the game, and I’m married. Nobody knows I am.”
    However, when told everybody, including his fellow housemates knew he is married, he was alarmed.
    According to him, he had tested them by asking them a few questions and they did not respond in a way that suggested they knew he is married.
    He said he wasn’t perturbed by people who nominated him, because he had also nominated Bisola, despite their closeness.
    He claimed that the aspect of his family that he said was dead were his grannies, brother and sister because he held them in high esteem.
    During an eviction diary room session earlier, TBoss had predicted Debie-Rise’s exit, just as Efe noted that her main strength was the guitar, with which she has been constituting nuisance in the house.
    Although Debie-Rise was not originally nominated for possible eviction, she was put up by Marvis, who had to use her power card to nominate someone, between Bisola and Debie-Rise. This was just as Head of House, Bassey, used his veto power to save Bally and put up Efe.
    Efe took the lead with a wide margin of 51.97 percent, followed by Debie-Rise with 21.78 percent, and TBoss with 14.57 percent while ThinTallTony had 11.68 percent
    Reekado Banks opened the show with the medley ‘Oluwa Ni’, followed by ‘Problem’, as he was joined by four female dancers in an applauded performance witnessed by his master and honcho of Mavin Records, Don Jazzy, who was sitting among the live studio crowd.
    The second performance was done by DNA Twins, singing “How Can”. When Reekado Banks returned to close the show, he sang “Ladies and Gentlemen”.
    The show continued with seven housemates left for the prize of N25 million and a brand new Kia Seranto car.
    The next eviction show holds on Sunday, March 26. And viewers in Nigeria are expected to text the word “Vote” followed by their preferred housemate’s name to 32052. While for the rest of Africa, fans are told to follow the AfricaMagictv official account on WeChat and click on the menu option ‘BBNaija’ and select their preferred housemate. Voting will open at 21h00 WAT on Monday, March 20 27 and will close at 20h00 WAT on Saturday, March 26, 2017.

    BBNaija: No evictions, just jamz

    Tension was on break in the Big Brother Naija show last Sunday, as no housemate was evicted as earlier promised. Instead, it was music feast all the way, starting with the housemates’ rendition of a ONE Africa campaign song titled ‘Let’s Educate A Girl Child’.
    Leading the performance with her sonorous voice was Bisola, just as Efe did the rap in pidgin. Debbie-Rise led the beats with her guitar. ThinTallTony rocked the ‘Shekere’ (bead instrument). Marvis and Bassey hit the drums while others joined in the backup.
    Performing his medley ‘Up to Something’ ft Mr Oreo, Iyanya rocked the live stage with four athletic male dancers. Minutes later, former Big Brother Africa housemate and Payporte ambassador, Tayo Faniran also performed his new single, ‘No Calling’ which he followed up with the solo,  ‘Dakun’.
    With show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu prodding some of the housemates on their relationships in the house, Bisola’s revelation about ThinTallTony must have answered some of the silent questions from fans. She disclosed: “I like ThinTallTony very very very much… I’m comfortable with him, “ adding that unlike Bally, he reciprocates her feeling. However, she is not oblivious of the fact that ThinTallTony is ‘into’ TBoss.
    Bassey and Debbie-Rise agree they share a lot in common, hence their closeness. Efe and Marvis also confirmed they have soft spot for each other.
    Nomination show resumed on Monday and housemates were reminded on the need to focus on the N25 million prize money and a brand new Kia Seranto car as the show moves towards its peak.

    At last, Gifty admits she was once married

    Evicted Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Gifty Brian (Ajumobi) popularly known as “Gifty’’ in the on-going reality TV show on Tuesday admitted that she was once married after several denials.

    Sequel to her eviction, a man who identified himself as Augustine Akuma and claimed to be a cousin to her supposed husband released photos from the Gifty’s wedding while she was in the house.

    Gifty who was evicted from the show on Day 28, in series of interviews denied ever being married, stressing that the rumour would only make her more famous.

    The 23-year-old actress and model in an interview with Hiptv said the period she was married was a dark period in her life that she would not want to go back to.

    She said: “I will say it here and now that the marriage issue was kind of real; I was once married, it was a dark part of my life that I don’t want to ever go back to.

    “My advice to every young girl out there; before you go into a marriage, you have to be physically, mentally, emotionally and physiologically matured because I was naive,” she said.

    Akuna had accused the former housemate of deceiving her fans by claiming that she was not married.

    He further alleged that the couple had irreconcilably differences over Gifty’s “cheating lifestyle while still in her husband’s house.’’

    Gifty, who had a pretty controversial time in the house with her string of kisses, multinational accent and comments about not knowing Nigerian celebrities, Falz and Banky w, left the house empty handed.

    She was the fourth to be evicted from the show after Soma, Miyose and Coco Ice.

  • BBNaija Day 49: Tbos plans to kidnap me for a day outside the house – ThinTallTony

    BBNaija Day 49: Tbos plans to kidnap me for a day outside the house – ThinTallTony

    With no eviction on Day 49, ThinTallTony (TTT), one of the housemates in the ongoing reality TV show Big Brother Nigeria has disclosed that Tbos has plans to kidnap him for one day outside the BBNaija house.
    TTT who was Head of House for two weeks in a roll spoke of the plan during interaction with Ebuka the anchor of the Sunday live show.
    He said Tbos told him of the plan during a discussion he had with her.
    When asked if Bisola, TTT’s favourite housemate would approve of the said kidnap, she said “no”.
    TTT during the interaction with Ebuka also confessed learning a lot from a fellow housemate, Bisola.
    “Me and Bisola; there is a level of understanding that we both shared; she is an adult and fun to be around with.
    “She is just on point; she dey make me feel fine, I no dey miss house because of her.
    “She is very creative and easy to talk to; I learnt a lot from her; I always learn from everyone but because I spent a lot of time with her, I learnt so much from her,” TTT stressed.
    Meanwhile another housemate, Efe said he earlier saw the idea of the house marriage to Marvis as a joke.
    He, however, said he had to get into the character to put up a superlative performance in the marriage drama.
    Efe said the character he played was cool and his feelings, as the groom, for Marvis was mutual.

    Earlier, the housemates performed the ONE Campaign song on girl-child education.

    Highpoints of the Sunday live show was the performance by Nyanya and Tayo and also a flashback about the evicted housemates.

    Since the show started in January, six real housemates and two fake housemates have been evicted.

    The evicted included Soma, Miyonse, Coco Ice, Gifty and Uriel while the fake evicted housemates were Ese and Jon.

    Kemen, who was the sixth evicted housemate, was disqualified by Big Brother for fondling Tboss while she was fast asleep beside him.

    After Uriel’ eviction, Big Brother said there would be no eviction on Sunday, Day 49.

    Eight of the housemates are still in the race to win the 25 million naira and a brand new SUV prize. The eight are Bally, Bisola, Efe, Marvis, TBoss, Thin Tall Tony, Debie-Rise and Bassey.(NAN).
