  • #BBNaija: Lolu, Khloe, Anto evicted

    Lolu, Khloe and Anto on Sunday  made their exit from the Big Brother Naija Reality TV Show.

    This occurred immediately after the housemates lost their wager with Miracle to blame for the loss.

    Biggie had instructed the housemates to pick one out of 10 random boxes but avoid the one with any monetary prize attached to it.

    Miracle was the one who defaulted in this challenge, winning #200,000 and costing the whole housemates a loss of this week’s wager.

    Housemates lost their wager but were mandated by Biggie to keep whatever was in the briefcase for themselves.

    Unfortunately, as the housemates made to leave, Ebuka told the trio of Cee-C, Khloe and Anto to stay behind, leaving the rest five housemates to go wait in the lounge.

    Biggie finally evicted three housemates in quick succession as Anto and Khloe were the first to be evicted, followed by Lolu who was seated amongst Miracle, Tobi, Alex and Nina in the Lounge.

    Cee-C ended up being saved from eviction by a narrow miss.

    An emotional Alex begged Lolu for a second hug as Lolu went through the door.

  • BBNaija: I was molested by my housemaid for four years- Lolu

    Big Brother Naija Housemate, Lolu has opened up a very touchy issue on molestation and abuse on Monday evening.

    In a heart-to-heart diary session where all housemates poured out their full blown emotions to Biggie, Lolu asserted that he had been molested by his housemaid for four years.

    Lolu recalled that he couldn’t tell his mother about it and all the punishments he had gone through for refusing his housemaid’s wishes.

    “I was molested by my housemaid for 4 years. I couldn’t tell my mother. The maid would subject me to a lot of punishments if I didn’t do what she asked, and that did not go down well with me.”

    Lolu who seemed to have moved past the ugly incident with the help of his mother said he was never too proud nor ashamed to admit it.

    “I am neither proud not ashamed about it,” Lolu said.

    Lolu who saw this revelation as an inspiration, told Big Brother his reason for coming out was to give people confidence to always speak up against abuse.

    “I am not saying this for pity but I want people to get the confidence to speak up. There is a stigma that comes with these experiences and happenings,” he stated.

    Lolu promised to say more concerning his childhood to Biggie as the show unfolds.

    However, Anto found out that Lolu has been sending secret messages to a lover outside the house and confided in Big Brother.
    She expressed her intentions of slapping him if it weren’t a reality TV Show aired round the world.

    “Lolu has been sending secret messages to someone in the diary room. I would have slapped Lolu when I saw him. He knows a lot of things about me and I feel I was being led on,” Anto told Big Brother.
    Biggie who wanted to know Anto’s next step, asked her what she intended to do next. But Anto was done with the relationship. She told Biggie Lolu betrayed her trust.
    “I am trying my best to deal with it now. I will try my best to carry on and I don’t know if I can trust him. I naturally have trust issues.”
    Anto who struggled with tears couldn’t hide her disappointment towards finding more about Lolu in the real world.
    “Now I know he is obviously keeping something from me,” Anto added.

  • 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.

  • Nigerians react over planned return of evicted BBNaija housemates

    Viewers of the ongoing BBNaija ‘Double Wahala’ reality show, have taken to various social media platform to oppose the return of disqualified housemates.

    Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, host of the show announced on eviction night on Sunday that organisers of the show were giving Nigerians the opportunity to vote back two preferred evicted housemates, including those disqualified.

    It should be recalled that Khloe and KBrule, the duo known as K-square earned three strikes as a pair, for flouting the rules of the house and were subsequently disqualified.

    However, in this new twist introduced in the show, the disqualified housemates stand as much chance as others who were `honourably’ evicted through viewers’ votes, to return to the house.

    They perceive the move as ‘unfair’ and urge the organisers to cancel the strikes given to CeeC, Lolu and Tobi, if disqualified housemates are allowed to return.

    @Adunimckinson tweeted, “I don’t have a problem with them bringing past housemates, but why bring back disqualified housemates? If Kbrule and Khloe are coming back to play for 45 million Naira, then revoke the strikes you gave CeeC and Lolu.”

    @Chiradine wrote, “It will be unfair to bring back disqualified housemates without removing the strikes of other housemates. Please let’s play fair.
    Disqualified housemates should not be allowed to come back. ”

    @Boo_berry3 tweeted, “If Big Brother can bring back disqualified housemates, and then he should take away Tobi, CeeC and Lolu’s strikes.”

    However, some viewers are kicking against the entire idea of bringing evicted housemates back on the show, arguing that they have already been exposed to the game plan.

    They added that evicted housemates will have upper hand as they already know what the viewers want, being outside the house.

    Don Jazzy, popular Nigerian music producer and owner of Mavin records wrote @DonJazzy, “Dear Big Brother, I don’t think this is a fair move.”

    @Terrific tweeted, “Let me understand Biggie’s strategy. To bring back evicted housemates who have an idea of what the viewers want already? To compete alongside housemates without a clue? Highly unfair.

    Meanwhile, the affected housemates are already intensifying their campaign for votes to return back to the BBNaija house including the disqualified duo of Khloe and KBrule.

    One of the evicted contestants, Ifuennada has launched a hastag #BringBackIfuEnnada #BringBackIfu to solicits for votes from fans and viewers.

    She wrote on her social media platforms @ ifuennada “Thanks for always supporting me. Now that Big Brother has given me an opportunity to return, I know you’d go all out for me. Much love!

    “Guys we can do this please and please I take God beg una. Biko abeg I take GOD BEG UNA NOTHING LIKE PRIDE, ME I NEED THAT MONEY,’’ Ifuennada stated.

    The remaining nine housemates, CeeC, Lolu, Miracle, Tobi, Nina, BamBam, Teddy A, Alex and Rico Swavey continue to battle for prices worth 45 million Naira.

  • 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.

  • #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

    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.
