I understand but the original warri is the three warri lgas.uvwie and Udu because of their nearness to warri south lga were affected by urbanization from warri south just as Onitsha ate into parts of idemili north and ogbaru and pH crept into obaoga,eleme,ikwerre...
In my own personal definition,I define warri as those from the three warri lgas

Well, you are making a mistake of what I'd personally call "statism", that is living in a static time frame. Life isn't static and cities and towns aren't either. What Warri was 100 years ago isn't what it was 30 years ago and still isn't what it is today. It's also not going to be what it is 50 years from now

Nobody going to Koko will tell you that he is going to Warri. When you enter GIG bus in Abuja going to Warri, they will stop you at PTI junction in Effurun, Uvwie LGA. Will you tell them that they have not reached your destination. Everybody says there is Shoprite in Warri, would you say they are wrong, that Warri doesn't have Shoprite, but Effurun/Uvwie. Same applies for the airports in in "Warri", both the old and new ones, neither is in Warri as you know it

Warri City is different from Warri Local governments like Enugu town is different from Enugu state. Cities expand naturally as time passes. You are Iwerre, right?

Lauryn41:
97% of itsekiris are from Warri

Omashola is a full blooded Warri person although he lived some part of his life in SA , He’s my cousin

it depends on what you define as Warri, the local government or the City/town

garfield1:
Omashola by blood is from warri and he grew up from there hence why I said he is the original warri guy.the akpofures origin can be traced to Udu lga.tuoyo is from warri north lga.95% of itsekiris are from the three warri lgas

Warri LGAs and Warri town/city are two different things. Warri City now includes most of Udu, Uvwie LGA. Koko on the other hand, which is in Warri North LGA is not a part of Warri City(metropolis of you like)

garfield1:
Omashola is the only original warri guy in that house bar tuoyo

it depends on what you mean. Warri by blood or by nurture(where one was raised). By blood, not all Itsekiris are Warri so Omatshola being Itsekiri doesn't make him automatically Warri, ditto Tuoyo. If they are Itsekiri from Warri, they are original Warri guys

Pere said he attended Dom Domingos College in Warri, which means he is Warri by nurture.

The Akpofure family is popular in Warri. I don't know if Neo was raised in Warri, but if he was, he is original Warri

One housemate that has come on the show to falsely claim Warri is the Season 2 winner, Efe. He is neither Warri by nurture(he was raisesbin Jos) nor by blood

Omatshola is the only housemate that says words we grew up with in Warri like the day he said okoloko(sparrow bird) or just now he said Moro Moro(bald head). He gives me that nostalgic feeling. Good ol' days

Just caught Adekunle checking out Kim's ass. The proportional mismatch between Kim's ass and her thigh/legs makes me want to conclude she has surgically enhanced her gluteus

Mercy's facial surgery is one of the reasons she wouldn't win. The face makes her look villainous. Her face has lost all natural expressions, when she smiles, it looks forced. Almost like a scary smiling doll baby from a horror movie

Women can be really dangerous. The midget CeeC did exactly the same thing to Pere when she was jealous of Pere's closeness to her 'rival'. After he shared an innocent joke with the troublesome midget when he told her that she was moving with the enemy(an obvious joke), the midget went to tell Cross that Pere called him(Cross) an enemy. That was the genesis of the first issue Pere had with Cross.

The serially rejected Doyin, after Pere again had a convo with her in which he said Cross and Kim are just friends(a fact) went everywhere saying Pere is dumb not to see that Kim had chosen Cross over him. Isn't it obvious to us viewers that Kim isn't into Cross?

Eeghe:
One thing about Doyin?
She will always, always say the truth

what truth? She is a rejected woman trying to drag anyone around her into her misery. Pere knows that Kim doesn't fancy Cross. He has been trying to let the HMs understand that Cross and Kim are just friends in a bid to save Cross an impending embarrassment. All of us watching from home know that Pere has been avoiding Kim in other not to hurt Cross. Why are the Smiggle Doyin and the toxic CeeC trying to create a false narrative to make Pere appear desperate and disloyal. It isn't fvcking fair

Cross is looking more lost as the days go by. I thought it was the Kim Oprah effect but it now looks like he is suffering withdrawal syndrome. He has said it on the show before that he smokes weed. Who knows what else he takes. He looks like a zombie

fhranchez:
all over? Get a grip pal the amount of time kim has spent around cross this night is more than the attention she has given pere all season.

that's because Kim has accepted Pere's rejection and settled for the guy that gives her the attention she needs to cope in the house

Altrarecords:
Kim forced herself on who? Cross?

Cos that's a fvcking lie

Cross has been acting like Kim's shadow since she came.. close Shadow marking I even commented on it during her first week

I can bet my entire fortune Kim would choose pere over cross going by just feelings.. problem is cross is bombarding her with attention and you know ladies love attention

Gbam! It seems we the viewers understand what is going on in the house better than the housemates. It's obvious Pere has been avoiding Kim because of Cross. Kim was all over Pere when she first came in but Pere avoided her. Cross knows that Kim fancies Pere more than him sef.

The reason why Pere feels hurt is that feeling you get when you are trying to do what is right but people don't see it and twist the narrative.

Fairdamsel:
Why Doyin was sad is because they had conspired to nominate others…Only for Angel to surprise her and nominate her instead.

So her sadness is justifiable

just like she conspired with Neo to nominate others only for her to go in the diary room and nominate Neo

Amotolongbo:
Pastor Adeboye and Diplomacy.

Can you tell us the exact glorious days it will happen.
He would never be straight forward, he speaks in such a way that you won’t be able to hold him responsible.

Just because I am a decent young woman, does not mean I am deluded.

The reality of Nigeria is that crime pays, we see it in every facet of our society, from top to bottom. There is no sector that has been spared because impunity is rife. There is no respect for rule of law, no regard for due process, no respect for legitimate hustle or even integrity.

Virtually everybody in this country is either a thieving opportunist or an aspiring thieving opportunist and only a small percentage actually care for legitimacy.

Even if you are a decent human being, you should never be a deluded one. The reason why so many people leave this country to travel abroad, despite meagre resources, is because, at least, you will be properly rewarded for legitimate hustle abroad. In Nigeria, you will strive to do the right thing and the system will reward you with mockery.

You must tell yourself hard truths when you live in such a dirty country.

True, but it's very wrong to address those people as mumu, that have decided, in the face of all these madness, to stay true to what they believe is right. Today's Gospel reading(I know you are a Catholic) is taken from that part of the scripture that Jesus said "what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul". Many of those so called ballers are souless people doing those things you see as balling to fill a void that can never be filled. Their lives are meaningless, forget about what you see. Most people think we evil people lose their souls when they die, but no, their souls die here on earth

Las las, it is the mugus that are wise

safarigirl:
Lol, na mumu dey do legit hustle for Nigeria, so, nothing do her.

Nigeria wey everybody na criminal, you wan dey do legit hustle, anything wey you see, just take am as the will of God.

Once dem comot from that house, that ship don capsize. Highest, dem fit dey together for three months, make dem chop mumu shippers money small, but after that, to your tents O Israel. Soma sef get babe wey he leave for house, he go dey alright.

I'm shocked to read this from you. I have always admired your writing here and seen you as a decent young woman who gives me hope that the younger generation will do better. Maybe you have succumbed to peer pressure. Get off it, you are a good person

Whitesnow01:
Then you know nothing about Tech lol. Make I no cast shit here sha. You know NOTHING! You think tech ends in web development and co? Nothing pant no go see for eniola badmus yansh oh

a very rich tech guy won't date an Angel. A yahoo boy would. Only a mugu can date someone like Angel. Emphasis on date, not sleep with

Whitesnow01:
Lol una mentality for this page sha lol. Lmao!
As much as I believe she may be capping , but dropping $100k makes one a yahooboy? Lmao 🤣 😆


“I comment my reserve”

C. Ronaldo will not drop $100K for a girl to go on vacation. You think $100K is beans?

Eeghe:
Pere is a buzzard
Eats droppings from his friend’s table.
Cross trusted him, and wrongly took him as a brother instead of WM (meanwhile he should have trusted his first intuitive feel of Pere). He took him inside the Apili network, helped him get a Binance deal.
When his fan’s contributions depleted, and his celebrity status wasn’t celebrating again? He ran back to be an army nurse, something that he clearly hates

For this show, Cross helped him with flight tickets and money (Venita also did this, but of course, neither of these two knew the other had done this- they found out the day he cried and wanted to take a voluntary exit- because Cross was clearly done with him- those instincts rightly came back to one of God’s special people, Cross)

Cross is a mumu, but Pere wants what he wants, Pere wants his lifestyle, Pere needs his money. His aura. His social network and abilities. A military nurse needing things from the fool with low IQ
His true self is emerging again, because of 300K/week and task wins. And fan contributions are sure after the show. He is not broke again, liquid cash to fund celeb lifestyle is available now

An absolute opportunist, a user, a total human vulture. Fake man with fake teeth …I can’t even take that seriously in a man, how unsexy is a man who buys body enhancements, lol! So unmanly.
Anybody that didn’t port to Adekunle is wrong. He is a better person📌

I watched too, and the spin here is wild!
Nonsense!!

CeeC completely finished him, so tey he couldn’t go to look for the kain Kim again.

I don't know why but I sense tribalism in your post. Why wish Cross should befriend WM instead of Pere, because they are both Igbos? Pere has showed his love for Cross from their season. I don't know why Pere likes the guy so much sef

Manfromlasvegas:
Why are you this worked up over a reality tv show? Bbn is the least most important thing in the world. It is just entertainment. It is okay to align with whatever housemate and whatever narrative you want to push. E never reach to start to fear for the future of the country. If u no know, the future of the country don dagbaru since.


What you are doing, you may not even be conscious of it, is selling a narrative that may or may not be valid to counter a narrative that may or may not be valid. I am pretty sure this narrative you are so fiercely pushing for may not have come to you as an original thought. Perhaps you were even manipulated to take up this position you are defending staunchly--- but the irony of course is lost on you.

Everyone has an experience watching the show, and a reflection upon that experience. My thoughts on the show may have come to me based on this reflections on my experience of watching the show, or they may have come as a result of the reflections somebody else may have had on watching the show. My thoughts, experience, reflections on the show are rightfully valid as are your thoughts, experience, reflections on the show.


Do not try to delegitimize or crassly invalidate my experience and reflections on the show by simply saying I have been manipulated into taking them. In fact I will firmly contend that your accusation is itself a psychological trick designed to manipulate me into abandoning my submissions and taking up yours.

Although it has a negative connotation, there is nothing inherently wrong about manipulation. Businesses spend billions of dollars trying to manipulate you into buying their product, politicians do the same, religious leaders as well. Your child might have manipulated you into getting her a toy, your wife might have manipulated you into picking up the grocery, you may have manipulated your wife just to have sex with her. Everybody does it. All the housemates are doing it. The world is a vast, interconnected web of manipulative designs---- sometimes immediately obvious, sometimes not, and strategies. We must contend with it and succumb to it.

brilliant point but it doesn't address my grouse with the Ilebaye situation. What I detest is bandwagonism, especially when it is premised on a false narrative. It is something that should be strongly discouraged in society. Manipulation to take advantage of people is also highly condemnable. That many/most people doing, doesn't make it morally right

Manfromlasvegas:
I don't think Baye increased it to the highest o. Neo just exaggerated for effect. She increased it a bit more but certainly not to the highest.

Of course ilebaye could have handled everything differently but I won't lie to you that girl was in a bad mood and sort of needed that music to relax a bit. She said it herself, I was in my feelings.

Before coming to that seat she had already had an issue with seyi who treated her clearly differently and worse off from Angel who was quite rude to him unlike Baye who was even polite. I think everything was just playing in her mind and added gradually to produce that kind of reaction from her.


To understand the ilebaye issue properly you have to put yourself in her shoes. Imagine staying in an enclosed place with strangers who treat you badly from the first moment you get there simply because they think you do not belong there. They attack you viciously and purposely misinterpret your actions. They lay into you at every chance they get. You try to be reasonable with them but they become even more unreasonable. After a while enduring that sort of abuse, you might start to react slightly out of character to seemingly innocuous situations.


What I am trying to say is that it will be difficult for me to put the blame completely on her for nuanced situations like this. When you consider the emotional and psychological background narrative, I get why she will not be hundred percent right or perfect in all of her interactions with the housemates, I get why in trying to stand up for herself in the face of such hideous intimidation and bullying there would be missteps on her part. I get it and I completely understand.


What is most important is that why she stands up to and battle these real and imagined demons that people on the outside validate her experience and continue to support her in this tortuous journey of resistance, self discovery, liberation, and vindication.

Intimidation and bullying? Why are Nigerians so easy to manipulate like this. Perhaps one small child handling Ilebaye's SM account used the word bullying to describe the dynamics around Ilebaye in the house and gullible Nigerians fell for it, the start of yet another bandwagon. Is it why it is so easy to control and oppress us in this country?

I go back to the very beginning of the season. A 21/22 years old in the house jumping from one man to another, playing erotic games like the lead actress in the softcore movie, I Like to play Games. During one of their very first in-house games where Neo played the role of game master, the way she insulted Neo for no solid reason, an action far worse than what WM did to her but Neo ignored her and didn't play victim. This was the first one or two weeks of the show. She dished similar insults to other HMs. Do you know how it feels when a much younger person is insulting you?

Efe was one of the youngest during his season but was so respectful to older HMs. He addressed people like Thin Tall as bros and related with Bisola as a big sister/aunty, seeking advice from her, a beauty to watch and an example to young people. He wasn't afraid to show his vulnerability as a young, inexperienced man around his love interest. The result was a well deserved win.

With people like you as the majority in this country, i fear for our future.

If Ilebaye wins the show, I will not watch BBN again

Seunomobo:
As much as I agree with you about her craftiness, I think it's high time we stopped dissing people about their looks...

Doyin didn't create herself now...if she decides to get a facial surgery, na Una go still abuse , she didn't yet ya'll won't ever commenting about how her face sucks.......

Na WA o

how have I dissed her based on her look? Help me spot the diss

fitzmayowa:
Doyin campaigning for IIebaye to get immunity, that's good to watch they might not be speaking to each other at the moment, but she still cares.......

she is playing the viewers. Doyin is the most crafty person in that house. She knows she is handicapped in terms of looks and makes up for it with her brains. I understand her survival instinct

kowema:
The Mercy on my screen with all her Botox looks like Joan Rivers throwback.
RIP to her.

or Darcey and Stacy

It's CeeC trying to conceal her humongous forehead at the Saturday night rave for me

Yabsun:
Angel too is fluent and expressive

I actually wanted to edit my post to include her on the list but I waited to see if someone here would add her and viola.......

Very difficult to understand what CeeC says because she focuses on pseudo-accent and ends up making incoherent statements. She only expresses herself seemlessly when she is speaking pidgin or making short sentences in English. That's why I like Doyin and Tbaj, they speak very good English with natural accent

Cross is Forrest Gump, he is so innocent and stupid but seem highly favoured

Ike's poker face is A+. A likeable criminal

Vote Ike abeg

thatigboman:
I read on Internet that she say she learnt accent from her secondary school ghanian teacher here in Nigeria.
I dont understand. Did teenager ilebaye live and sleep with her secondary teacher to learn ghanian accent? I don't understand

she is either lying or her parents are the most ignorant people ever, I am more inclined to believe the former

bunnae:
You must really find it difficult to deal with people from other places be that. Everyone cannot have the same accent na.

that is the issue I have with her accent. She speaks with a Ghanian accent but said she didn't grow up in Ghana. I wouldn't have a problem if she were a Ghanian or a Nigerian that grew up in Ghana. How on earth would a Nigerian that grew up in Nigeria speak English with Ghanian accent. It's gross stupidity

How do you guys tolerate this Ilebaye's accent. It's so disgusting that I change channel whenever I know she is going to talk for an extended period
