  • Young pilot, Miracle wins BBNaija show

    A 24-year-old pilot and model in the Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality show, Miracle Igbokwe, has been crowned winner of the competition, carting home the cash prize of N25million, an SUV and other benefits totaling N45 million during a glamorous finale in Johannesburg, South Africa, Sunday night.

    Miracle who had showed traits of winning, having led the votes chart each time he was put up for possible eviction, and came tops during series of tasks since January 28, 2018 when the show opened, beats fellow finalists – Tobi Bakre, Cynthia Nwadiora, Nina Chinonso and Alexandra Asogwa.

    He had earlier earned over N3million coming from winning House tasks such as Pepsi Challenge, Payporte Challenge, Close-Up Challenge, and scooped to himself, the N200, 000 wager in the last week.

    He had been Head of House several times and contributed to entertaining fans with dramas, intrigues, tasks, gossips, and betrayals, while also being noted for his romance with fellow housemate, Nina throughout the 24/7-three months live broadcast.

    It didn’t come to many as a surprise that he won the show, as most viewers hold the view that he was the housemate with the least tussle with other contestants, while his status as a pilot might have also endeared fans to him.

    The energy was ‘double’ in the South African studio when he was brought to the stage with Cee-C. The shout of Miracle! Miracle!! Miracle!!! by supporters rent the air.

    Miracle who hails from Imo State, recently graduated from the Aviation School, and entered the Big Brother Naija house with his pilot license tightly in hand.

    The charming housemate who plans to use part of the N45million prize to get more aeronautic training and the rest to help his family said while canvassing for votes: “Coming here is a deal for me, winning this money is a bigger deal to me. I would use the money to go for my CPL training as a professional pilot. Help me abeg and vote for me.”

    Cee-C, while canvassing for votes last week hinged her plea on some unnamed projects she will be needing the money for. “Nigerians please vote for me to win this money. I cannot give a particular reason to vote for me. I can’t say because I’m beautiful or attractive but Nigerians please vote for me. Vote for me because I have lots of projects to achieve with this money,” she stated.

    Tobi on his part was going to use the money to boost his photography business.

    According to the former staff of Heritage Bank, “For a 28-year-old, I have a finance background, so I know what to do with the money; I would not waste it in clubs.

    “My photography, I need to expand that business because I don’t have plans of going behind the desk anytime soon. I need you guys to vote let’s get that money.”

    While Nina said “I have always had the dream of becoming someone in future and this is just it. I am pleading to Nigerians, Africans to support me to achieve this dream of mine.”, Alex said “I need the money in my life to treat my dad, finish school and take care of my siblings.”

    Ebuka who entered the House in an unusual manner, announced Nina’s eviction first. Her eviction was soon followed by that of Alex and Tobi, before Miracle was declared winner.

    Other housemates who were earlier evicted include Vandora, Bitto, Princess, DEE-One, Angel, Ahneeka, K-Brule, Leo, Ifu Ennada, Khloe, Anto, Teddy A, Bambam, Lolu and Rico Swavey.

    It was an emotional moment for fans of the show across Africa, who must have voted vigorously in the last week, raising the stake for the three top contestants.

    The show which began broadcast on January 28, 2018 closed Sunday night with host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announcing the results during a live show that had artistes including Davido with ‘Fia’, “Like That’ and “Fall”, Mr Real with ‘Legbegbe’, and Nigerian dance queen, Kaffy performing for the excited studio guests.

    At a streaming center in Lagos, top celebrities, former housemates and recently evicted contestants like Lolu, Anto, Teddy A and Bambam, were part of the crowd that had ‘official’ supporters of the finalists.

    The Lagos event was anchored by former BBNaija’s Housemate, Bisola Aiyeola.

  • #BBNaija: Cee-C becomes head of House

    Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as Cee-C has been nominated as Head of House in the Big Brother House for the last week of the season.

    Housemates had earlier nominated Nina as head of House, but Big Brother cancelled the votes, scolding the housemates for disobeying his instruction. He had told them to nominate the housemate who had been the head of house the least number of times.

    It is noted that Cee-C had never won the head of House challenge in the last thirteen weeks, and she accepted the title.

    Cee-C is widely known for her quarrelsome attitude, as she has had issues with several housemates, in the course of the show. However, during the eviction last Sunday, Khloe who was evicted, alongside Anto and Lolu, described her as someone with “a soft heart”.

    There are only five housemates left in the Big Brother House, with one expected to win the grand prize of 45 million naira on Sunday, 22nd April, 2018. They are Miracle, Tobi, Alex, Cee-C and Nina.

  • BBNaija: Housemates choose Nina as final head of house

    Nina Oyenobi has been chosen as the final Head of House in the ongoing Big Brother Naija ‘Double Wahala’ which will end on April 22.

    The selection was made on Monday, as ‘Biggie’ asked the housemates to pick their last Head of House.

    Nina’s selection was different from previous ones when housemates were given tasks with the winner becoming Head of House.

    She was preferred by Tobi and Alex to CeeC, while Miracle and Nina chose CeeC, who agreed to perform the function. However, Tobi and Alex objected because they felt CeeC was too troublesome for the position.

    They claimed that she may not be patient enough to change the batteries of the microphones.

    Alex, who was the head of house before the meeting, offered to continue her tenure before the housemates eventually agreed on Nina.

    This is Nina’s second tenure as Head of House as she previously held the position in Week 7, succeeding evicted housemate BamBam.

    She was often described as a ‘weak’ housemate, was very emotional after the evictions on Sunday when she made it to the final week of the game.

    The stylist is best known for her relationship with fellow housemate Miracle, her fashion sense and perceived complacency.

    She and four other housemates, including CeeC, Miracle, Alex and Tobi are currently battling for the grand prize of N45m as the game approaches its finale.

  • 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.
