  • Cigarettes is my means of escape- TeddyA

    Self-acclaimed Alpha male and Big Brother housemate, TeddyA has revealed why he puffs cigarettes during his stay in the house.
    In a diary session with Biggie, TeddyA revealed that cigarettes are his own means of an escape from the petty drama in the house.
    He also revealed he wasn’t down for the continued arguments and the general discontent amongst the housemates as he pleaded for more creative sessions to express himself.
    “I am not down for petty arguments. That’s the reason why I smoke. For me, it is a means of escape. It just calms me down.”
    He also stated that he saw fellow housemate, Tobi Bakre as a competition and admitted to feeling wrong vibes when around Miracle.
    “I feel Tobi usually put me up for eviction as I have done with him overtime. I see him as a competition.
    “He (Tobi) is one I can share a few drinks with and relate to, compared to Miracle who I feel wrong vibes with whenever he is around.”
    TeddyA expressed his desire to work with a producer while craving more productive studio sessions alongside Rico.
    “I look forward to having a producer around. I feel there is a little dose of creativity here and I want more studio time.”

  • Organisers BBNaija Double Wahala `resets’ game

    Big Brother aka ‘Biggie, owner of the Big Brother Naija house on Sunday, dissolved all the strikes assigned to housemates in a bid to reset the game.

    This means that Cee-C, Lolu and Tobi who had two strikes each for flouting the house rules, now have clean slates to continue in the game.

    The News men report that Biggie introduced the twist during his `historic’ meeting with the housemates before Sunday’s live show.

    With dramatic lighting and ninjas flanking the ‘throne’, housemates were asked to line up and queried on their experiences in the house thus far.

    After announcing that evictions would not take place as planned, ‘Biggie’ gave the housemates a choice to exit the game.

    They were asked to pick an envelope containing an undisclosed sum of money if they wanted to leave the game at that moment.

    Although Rico Swavey and Alex looked like they were going to pick the offer, all the housemates declined.

    ‘Biggie’ generously announced that all strikes were forgiven and housemates can restart the game on a clean account causing Cee-C, Tobi and Lolu to leap for joy.

    According to information on the show’s official website, the twists were introduced to create a level playing ground as two evicted housemates were brought back to the house on Sunday.

    It read: “All of this was a symbolic moment in order for Biggie to reset the game in order for things to move forward in a new light.

    “It is going to be a whole new game with Anto and Khloe coming back. This is going to shift the vibe in the House and definitely spice things up.”

    It should be recalled that the decision to give disqualified housemates the chance to be voted back to the house alongside honourably evicted housemates, caused uproar on social media.

    The News men reports that some viewers advocated for the cancellation of the strikes of Cee-C, Tobi and Lolu if any disqualified housemates are given a chance to return to the game.

    Cee-C and Lolu had earned double strikes due to provocation which led to Lolu getting injured when the two housemates had a disagreement when they were paired together.

    Tobi’s strikes were earned when he was accused of conspiring with other housemates to put Cee-C up for possible eviction.

    However, Khloe and Anto are back to the house, having snuck in at 3am on Monday to mixed reactions from the housemates.

    Currently, 11 housemates are competing for prizes worth N45 million.

    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.

  • Cee-C lies about saying nobody is on her level

    Cynthia Nwadiora, also known as Cee-C in the Nigeria TV Reality Show, Big Brother Naija, has lied, saying she never claimed anybody was beneath her.

    Speaking this Sunday on the Live eviction show, she denied ever making that assertion.

    One that saw Nina cry severally in the Diary room and caused a row between herself and Alex.

    “I can’t remember saying anything like that.” She said. Ebuka was never going to let her go easy and he definitely placed her on the spot. Ebuka wanted to know more and she said “I said it out of anger.”

    With that one convincing response, Ebuka stopped probing and was glad to see Cee-C clear of all allegations leveled against her in the past week

  • Anto evicted from BBNaija “double wahala”

    BBNaija “Double Wahala” housemate Anto has been evicted from the show. Anto became the eleventh housemate to be evicted and the first “individual” housemate to leave the Big Brother Naija themed show.

    Big Brother (Biggie)had dissolved the pairings therefore requiring the housemates to play the game as individuals.

    Anto’s chances of winning the grand prize of 45 million Naira and an SUV were cut short when she alongside seven housemates received the highest nominations from fellow housemates.

    The American born housemate escaped eviction last week along with her partner, Miracle. However this week, BBNaija host Ebuka Uchendu announced Anto had received the lowest percent of votes from fans across the world compared to fellow housemates who were put up for eviction this week.

    The evicted housemate revealed to perennial host Ebuka Uchendu that her main purpose in the house was to win the grand prize however she was initially attracted to fellow housemate Tobi.

    She said “I had my eyes on Tobi although he already got close to Cee c. He is a bit childish, we can be friends”.

    During her post eviction chat with Ebuka, Anto confirmed Cee c’s possessive attitude towards Tobi. “I could see Cee c did not like it when I interacted with Tobi”.

    The outgoing housemate took the opportunity to  clear up her future with fellow housemate Lolu.

    She admitted to spending so much time with him because she genuinely likes him, although she claimed to be open in the future. “I like him, he is my friend, I am not promising anything”.

    Notably during the eviction show Ebuka sprung up a surprise.

    The host who was dressed in a typical Nigerian attire known as “Baba Riga” announced that viewers have the opportunity to vote to bring two evicted housemate back into the house to continue to vie for the grand prize worth N45 million.

    For now, nine housemates left in the game will continue to compete for the grand prize.

  • #BBNaija: What does Big Brother Naija add to us?

    The Reality TV Show, Big Brother Naija started on 28th January, 2018, with twenty housemates going into the house in South Africa, to compete for the prize. The winner is to get prizes worth 45 million naira (25 million naira cash, a brand new SUV Jeep, and other prizes).

    Twenty housemates are in the house competing this season. The show is to end in April.

    Viewers vote for their favourite housemates to keep them in the house, as the one with the least vote gets evicted from the show.

    There have however been a lot of criticisms to the show. Critics believe that the show encourages sexual immorality. An example is what has been trending online between two housemates, Teddy A and Bambam, having sex in the toilet.  Another example is Miracle, who has engaged in similar acts with female housemate, Nina.

    Housemates have constantly engaged in fights and disagreements, amongst themselves, so far in the show. Cee-C is one person that comes to mind in this regard. She has had issues with housemates like Lolu, her former partner, Ifu-Enada, Alex, and even her former strategic partner, Tobi. As youths, we begin to wonder what this show teaches us. Are we supposed to learn how to fight one another from the show?

    Last Sunday, Leo and Ifu-Enada were evicted as a pair, causing Alex, who really liked Leo to cry uncontrollably. This was the fourth pair leaving the house.

    The remaining housemates are playing as individuals, and will be evicted individually from this Sunday.

    Alex who fell into uncontrollably fits of emotions, kept crying as she held onto Leo, refusing to let him go into the elevator.
    Despite the stern warning of Biggie giving Leo 10 more seconds to leave the house; it took the intervention of other housemates to beg an emotional Alex to let go.
    Tobi and other housemates took turns in reminding her that the parting was only temporal as both Leo and Alex will be reunited again.
     Speaking after the eviction to Ebuka during the live show, Ifu was very excited to be evicted. She stated that her eviction was the will of the God.

    Leo responding to his love for Alex, said he had someone else outside the house.
    “I never led her on and I was very honest.”

  • BBNaija: You’re a coward, Cee-C tells Tobi (Video)

    Erstwhile lover and Big Brother Housemate, Cee-C has challenged Tobi Bakre, calling him a coward and full of shit. 

    An argument ensued between the duo moments after the Saturday Night Party, where DJ Jimmy Jatt thrilled fellow housemates to a night of fun. Tobi had avoided Cee-C at the party.
     
    Fast forward to the end of the party, Ifu Ennada played the role of a chef, as she took it upon herself to prepare noodles for the house. After scrambling for food, housemates dispersed and Tobi was captured in a conversation with TeddyA by the bathroom.

     
    Cee-C was the subject of the discussion as Tobi made TeddyA understand that he has gotten over her, for good. TeddyA who still believed love will yet blossom between the duo, played advocacy.
     It so happened that Cee-C was within earshot of the conversation as she brought news that Rico Swavey was throwing up and needed attention, intending to lure Teddy away from Tobi’s discussion.
     
    Tobi told TeddyA to disregard Cee-C as Rico will be fine, since it wasn’t more than throwing up after downing liquor at the party.
     
    Cee-C who was cleaning up after Rico became a bit enraged with Tobi’s discussion and stood up to challenge him, calling him unprintable names.
     
    Cee-C called Tobi a gossip who was having “evil conversations” and seeking mass pity from the housemates. She also told him she regretted their meeting and wished they never exchanged words.

    She tagged him a coward after he refused to exchange words with her and said he was “full of shit.” She also said he is “public property” and cannot handle the whole of her
     
    “Tobi, if you can’t talk to me and keep going behind my back to spread rumours about me, then you are a coward. You are not man enough Tobi, you can’t handle this, Cee-C pointed to herself.
     
    “Tobi, you are public property. This is the Cee-C you have been talking about all week; I am here standing in front of you. Every time you call people together, you are always talking about me. If you can’t say it, then they are all lies,” Cee-C stepped up her challenge.
     
    TeddyA who was an onlooker in the argument quickly took his leave not without admiring the love both couples had for each other.
     
    However, in Tobi’s opinion, the ship has sailed.
     
    “This ship has sailed,” he said to Cee-C. “You are only succeeding in making a fool out of yourself,” he retorted.
