  • BBNaija: Why our `romantic’ pairings crashed— Ceec, Lolu, Nina

    Tension hung in the air as Anto, Lolu, Cee-C, Tobi and Nina shared reasons why the romantic relationships with their on-screen partners fell apart during the ongoing BBnaija #Doublewahalareload and reunion show on Wednesday night.

    News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that during the show, the ex-housemates were paired with the opposite gender as strategic partners which largely grew into romantic relationships.

    However, BamTeddy (BamBam and Teddy A) are the only couple left from the show as CeeBi (Tobi and Cee-C), LoTo (Lolu and Anto) and MiNa (Miracle and Nina) broke off at different points during and after the show.

    Cee-C and Tobi had the most drama in their relationship with their fans also taking the fight to social media. They both told host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu that they do not regret any part of it.

    Cee-C said, “A lot of things were centered around Tobi and I; It’s a good thing as the theme was Double Wahala.

    “It was a good thing for the show. There is nothing to regret, even when you lose, you learn from your mistakes,” she said.

    For Tobi, he said it was quite an experience that he also learnt from.

    He said, “It was one I learnt from and also enjoyed.”

    They both added that they presently do not talk but will be willing to work with each other whenever the need arises.

    Meanwhile, it was shockingly revealed that Anto was ready to have a relationship with Lolu after the show but he turned her down, despite being the initiator during the show.

    Explaining the reason of his actions to Ebuka, he said, “First of all, I think it takes a lot to have a relationship. It takes a lot more than us just liking each other.

    “We had our differences and after the house, we sorted it out. We are two different people and we are looking for different things going forward,” he said.

    Also, Nina told Ebuka she decided to create a distance between herself and Miracle.

    The fan-favourite couple were expected to build a stronger relationship after the show which fell flat.

    About Miracle, she said, “He is just a goal-getter. He is focused and that’s one thing I love about him. I don’t regret the relationship at all. I actually wanted to see how it will be if I was alone.”

    Commenting on the Nina and Miracle situation, media personality Denrele Edun said, “Miracle struck me as someone who was lost when he got into the house.

    “He looked out for someone who would be unsuspecting of his moves in the house. The moment they were paired, I just knew ‘Okay’.

    “It worked in his favour and also worked in her favour. If they weren’t paired together, things would have turned out differently,” he said.

    Big Brother Naija finalists have arrived the country Monday night, with controversial first runner up Cynthia Nwadioha, popularly known as Cee-C, receiving  a dummy cheque of  N2 million from her fans.

    “Team Cee-C”, as her fans called themselves, proved that they are indeed lovers of the ‘drama queen’, and they remain loyal no matter the odds.

    Cee-C had the second highest votes in the Big Brother Naija games but she did not go home with any monetary reward.

    Unlike other finalists, and some housemates, she did not  win any of the sponsored tasks that could have earned her money gifts while she was in the house.

    However, to  make sure that their favourite housemate did not go home empty handed, the fans declared her their ‘BBNaija 2018 Winner’ and rewarded her with a N2 million cheque.

    They dotted Cee-C amid jubilations, took photographs and handed her the sum which was rallied for her by her fans, before she  met with her father.

    The five finalists of the reality show — Miracle, Tobi, Nina, Cee-C and Alex, arrived at the  Murtala Mohammed International Airport amid glitz and glamour, as fans defied the night and came out in large numbers to  wait for them.

    They could barely get themselves away from the crowd, elated to see them.

    However, winner of the show, Miracle, was quickly ‘smuggled’ away in a waiting SUV car from the crowd.

    Big Brother Naija 2018, also known as Big Brother Naija: Double Wahala, was the third season of the Nigerian scripted version of the reality show Big Brother.

    It was launched on Jan. 28, 2018 on DStv channel 198, with 20 housemates from different parts of the country, while ex-housemate, Ebuka Obi-Uchend from season one anchored.

  • BBNaija: Cee-c gets a strike for going berserk on Tobi

    BBNaija 2018 finalists Cynthia Nwadiora aka Cee-C, on Monday received a warning strike for going berserk on fellow housemate Tobi Bakre.

    This is coming after she verbally attacked Tobi, and challenged him to a fight.

    As punishment, Cee-c received a strike for provocation while Tobi received a word of advice from Big brother.

    The complicated feud between Cee c and Tobi reached an all time low, as an angry Cee c stomped around the BBNaija house firing insults at Tobi, on Wednesday.

    Tobi and Cee c (Ceebi) developed a relationship after Big Brother (Biggie) paired the housemates together.

    However, the estranged housemates have not been on talking terms since the beginning of their complicated feud.

    At the initial stage of their relationship, Cee c constantly accused Tobi and mind games while Tobi apologised to Cee c at every accusation she made.

    The line was drawn earlier in the show when Cee c accused Tobi of sexually assaulting her during one of her anger episodes. This time, Tobi sternlly refuted her allegations, bringing an end to their relationship in the house.

    Earlier today, Cee c began accusing Tobi of gossiping about her.

    The furious Cee-c described Tobi as a ‘useless, miserable fool’.

    Since falling out with Cee c, Tobi moved on and became close friends with Anto and Alex much to the annoyance of Cee c.

    During her rants, she accused Tobi of relating with every female in the house.

    She said, “You are a man and you cannot stand on your own”.

    Cee-c had accused Tobi of gossiping about her with other housemates and decided to challenge him face-to-face, asking him to talk right before her instead of gossiping.

    However, after replaying the video of the fight to housemates, Biggie announced that Cee-c had provoked Tobi with her words.

    He said Tobi controlled himself by ignoring her, although he could have done better.

    Five housemates including Miracle, Tobi, Cee c, Nina and Alex continue to vie for the grand prize of N45 million at the finals scheduled for Sunday.

  • #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.
