    Big Brother Housemate, Alex broke down into tears last night as the pair Lifu was finally shown the exit door.
    Lifu which consists of both Leo and Ifu Ennada are now the fourth pair to be evicted from the house. Following the eviction of Pritto, Vandee, and K-square.
    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.

  • BBNaija: Cee-C survives eviction

    BBNaija: Cee-C survives eviction

    Last week recorded the most controversial eviction nominees in the Big Brother Naija (BBN) house, when Tobi used his veto power as Head of House to put up his romantically-linked, albeit ‘troublesome’ partner Cee-C and her pair Lolu for possible eviction in place of the originally-nominated pair Rico and Bambam (BAMCO).

    This was just as Alex refused to save Leo, saying, “He needs a haircut” (as those up for eviction are usually made to look good).

    It was these shocking revelations that made this week’s eviction the most anticipated, and alas! Cee-C was saved, along Lolu, while Angel and Ahneeka (GELAH) got the boot.

    Leo and Ifu Anneda (LIFU) retained their place back in the house. Thus, this week is pregnant of how the game between the perceived betrayed (Alex and Cee-C) by their partners will play out.

    The three pairs that got fans voting all week include Cee-C and Lolu (CEELO), Leo and Ifu Anneda (LIFU) and Angel and Ahneeka (GELAH).

    Shortly before announcing the results, Ebuka prodded Cee-C who seemed to have put Tobi’s action behind her.

    Asked why she finds herself coming back to Tobi despite series of “I’m done with him” remark, she said: “I like Tobi a lot, as a person, yeah. I think he is very interesting. I believe in his potential and everything.”

    Dr Sid opened the show singing his hit ‘Surulere’, a song that featured Don Jazzy to the excitement of the studio guests.

    Dressed by D29 Concept, show host Ebuka Uchendu Obi revealed that next week eviction will end the pairing technique.

    Las week, The Nation predicted three reasons why Cee-C may not be evicted this week, saying: “…one of her staying power may come from votes from fans of Lolu, her partner who stands to be evicted with her. The other probability is that having been put up by Tobi, her tears that night, especially as she tried to explain her good intentions might have melted some hearts that will most likely join her fans, friends and family members to vote aggressively to keep her in the house. Also, if one considers the drama that has ensued from her relapsing relationship with Tobi, fans of the show would want the entertainment to continue, whether or not they like her personality.”

    BBNaija: Alex is plus one today

    Big Brother Housemate, Alex has added a new age today.
    Her giddiness happened to coincide with her argument with Leo, when he explained in very clear terms that he wanted no more “strings” between them.
    She wanted to sleep in his bed and enjoy some coziness but Leo preferred to have nothing of the sort.
    He sent her out and when she refused to leave; he changed position, replacing where he would normally keep his head with his feet.
    “I have told you times without number that I don’t want more than this little thing we have,” Leo was quoted, in his discussion with Alex.
    He tried to reason with her that their pairing was just a game and nothing more with no extra strings attached.
    Only to find out moments later that housemates were counting down to her birthday. Hence their now recently found midnight insomnia.
    Tobi led the birthday chorus as housemates sang for a very emotional Alex who kept crying all through the joyous moment.
    This was after lights out and Alex was given hugs in turn by housemates who happily wished her a lovely year ahead.
