No South African songs please

Exactly! Why's the DJ playing their music, especially as things are currently?

safarigirl:
Even to rock woman, Ricky no sabi hand placement

Your hands are supposed to be on the waist, not underneath the breasts.

I think she dragged his hand there. I bet if you met Ricky in person you might give him a flying kick. He seems to upset you for some reason.

safarigirl:
None of these have any bearing on the point.

How na? You said BBnaija is a major hunting ground for Nollywood talent, and i explained to you why that's not correct.

Don't bite my head off abeg.

safarigirl:
Again, you’re saying a different thing from what I said.

I did not say who is good, I am saying where Nollywood goes to source acting talent, and a lot of BBN Alumni have featured in Nollywood productions post show.

Whether they are good or not, is a different discussion

Lol, even Prince Nelson stated that most Nollywood directors try as much as they can to avoid using BBnaija housemates except when they're buzzing which usually lasts 1-2 years, which is why the likes of Tboss, Erica, Lambo, Tolani, & Lilo got acting roles, but for how long?

Imagine putting Neche in a movie if not for anything other than buzz value? Neche that might faint out of anxiety if she hears "Action!" from the movie director!

Oh i forgot 2 ex-housemates who broke into Nollywood and stayed for long - Gideon and the late Rico Swavey.

safarigirl:
So, na only AMVCA Award winners fit cook up highlights? Is it not BBNaija that is the latest talent pool for Nollywood these days? Maybe Neche dey do her own audition to enter industry too.

Lol, BBnaija, talent pool for WHO?

The only true Nollywood success stories from BBnaija are Tobi, Bisola, Bambam and Venita, with Frank from Ebuka's season.

Hermes also gave a good showing in Slum King, but he's not there yet.

Then Joe Abdallah is doing really well behind the scenes.

The rest just got into 1 or 2 movies or cameos.

safarigirl:
Na because Nomy no fine.

If say Nomy na fine girl now, he for talk say na so she dey talk for real life, and she’s not doing it for highlights

#JusticeForUglyGirls

Lol, being born ugly isn't anybody's fault, but being ugly on the inside is totally self-inflicted.

Nomy can see a cosmetic surgeon and a dentist to fix her horrible features,but is she willing to see a therapist to fix her uglier personality?

Ibukzy:
Him come be like nah back of tv wey dey watch last week

You no go dey one place abi?

safarigirl:
So, Neche’s own rant is legitimate and not for highlights, but Nomy and Tram’s own is for highlights?

Your bias dey show

Lol, bias for who and against who?

Tram is a streamer, whatever he does is calculated for views,albeit mischievous. He's possibly the only intentional actor in the house apart from Yusuf and Chuka .

When did Neche suddenly become an AMVCA award winner capable of cooking up highlights on cue?

Even Nomy, as rancid as she is, is living her reality. That's what reality TV should be, realistic.

safarigirl:
I see you’re one of those people that does not even read to begin with, how much more to reply.

Did I say anything about winning the money? Why are you telling me “not everyone is here to win the money”, when I never even said anything about the money?

I’m not reading whatever you wrote after the first paragraph, because you’re responding to what was not said

Shifting the goalpost & not so subliminal jabs ? That's intellectually dishonest o, but it's on you. Your not reading what i typed after is just your estrogen overpowering your logic i guess.

So it's not about the money, it's about longer staying time in the house abi? Let's go there.

For some people, 2 weeks of exposure is all they need.

This is apart from the reasons why viewers like a particular housemate.

It could simply be based on having a fine face, the way you dress, hope you handle relationships in the house, people seeing themselves in the housemate,or even speaking intelligently.

But then again, you come across as a professional critic, a rather faceless version of Godessa, and i can't blame you for that, afterall no be me pay your DStv subscription.

But you need to dial down on your expectations. I bet if a camera followed you 24hours a day as a reality TV show based on your daily living, we would not get that many highlights,because that's real life, NOT a movie. And YET, the show would might still get many followers.

Geezeem:
But he told her no guy wants her in the house, that if she hasn't noticed that no guy is flirting with her?... that she is ugly and her character is ugly too

He said she should fix her teeth as she fixed her azz.

If these are not enough to burn her heart, what else would?

Na karma Sha
She really finished Bells

Well, Tram should modify it, because at this point he risks being blanked by the girls, and some of the guys are getting irritated by his antics.

He might get a whooping if he's not careful.

Estellie:
All these talk for the same Neche that ranted for over 2 hours last week?? Abeg abeg

Read what I typed slowly dear - in real life, drama happens. My issue is with instigating drama, acting a fool, or even shipping for viewing pleasure, let me not mention the irritating trend of watching cameras and acting.

Neche's rant was legitimate, albeit childish, and was NOT for highlights. It's something she would probably do outside of the house as well.

safarigirl:
This is quite the assertion considering BBNaija is an entertainment show that puts all the contestants in the spotlight

So, you think Neche applied for this show, and left the law career she can be making money, ti come and share toilet with 23 other people, because she doesn’t want fame or the spotlight?

I think those of us who do not care much for these things, are sitting at home and watching the show. We’re not applying for this show.

I can take any other thing, but this thing you guys do, where you try to convince us that people come for a show like BBNaija for altruistic reasons, how you think say e sound?

If you were even saying this about Aikou, that is picking at the minds of the Housemates, I for reason you. I will save your post and return to it by the end of the year, when she must have returned to her law practice since na just experience she come for, not to enter the entertainment industry.

At least when Kiddwaya came, he told us it is fame he is looking for. And I didn’t even say anything about winning money, I said making jt to the last day, which is what these people all want to achieve

Examples abound, and you obviously didn't watch the very first BBnaija. Again, not everyone is here for the money.

Ebuka's set was made up of very random Nigerians, mostly fresh graduates and students. Ebuka himself just finished NYSC and was just up for anything new, same as Gideon that just finished Biochemistry from Unizik.

Maureen was a young worker.

Katung had also just graduated.

Sandra, Helen , Yinka, Ichemeta & the late Franca were still students.

The late Joe was an air host.

Frank was a stage actor and dancer.

After the show, only Ebuka (the least likely) , Gideon , & Frank, went into showbiz. Katung briefly went into filmmaking before going corporate.

Mind you, almost all of them got endorsement deals o, Ebuka, Maureen & Joe being prominent here.

Allysyn from Level Up made it clear she wanted to go back to the quiet life of mainly modelling and wasn't really interested in fame.

For some it's fame, for some it's ticking off a bucket list, for some it's just trying out something new, for others it's personal brand visibility, for others it's also an exercise in keeping busy while standing a chance to get 160m you didn't work for, minus sponsored tasks and gifts from fans o.

Neche has an athleisure brand. Orders will definitely go up. A wider range of quality male attention will come her way, both simps, guys wey wan nack, and guys wey wan marry am. Tons of gifts will come from fans,shippers and even female ex-housemates wey wan famz am or recruit am for corporate O.S business.

So i don't get this new craze of expecting housemates to act a fool for the viewing pleasure of faceless armchair analysts that have turned gbas gbos & drama to their dopamine addiction.

tioluwalasee:
The thing is Tram is a braggart. And she’s using the little she knows about him to attack him. I’m sure she doesn’t genuinely care about mainland vs. Island but you know Tram will use it as a weapon if the roles were reversed. The only way to hurt him is to attack his pockets

Nomy isn't equipped for a brat like Tram. She's a legitimately ugly girl, on the inside and outside.

Tram didn't even lean into her heavily, someone like me would have used words that will burn her heart till she sheds tears out of sheer pain.

She should go home ASAP abeg.

safarigirl:
People are entertaining viewers, Neche say she no fit get energy to dey follow person quarrel like that.

Neche, na why you no get highlights. Make active people dey work, everybody cannot use face card to sail through the season. Some have to work hard for their stay

Not everyone is desperate to win 160m that was never theirs in the first place.

Some people want nothing to do with the spotlight or any involvement in entertainment. They might simply want to be here for the experience.

It also helps to not make a bum of yourself for 2 months ago 2 weeks because you want to entertain, then years later if you speak online one funny character will troll you with videos or pictures of what you did in the house.

This is still a social experiment and the display of CONTROLLED REALITY which isn't always exciting or full of gbas gbos, forget that BBnaija thrives on instigated drama.

Amya:
Whats bad about Maryland though. This Islamd Mainland classist thingy is just dumb!

Nomy just showed that she either came to Lagos as an adult, or she grew up in a low-cost area of Lagos.

Maryland/Ilupeju/Anthony is Ikeja axis, legit old money. Infact, Tram stays there because his family owns property there, Yahoo boys avoid that place, same as working class people earning below 1m. Lekki axis is more of new money, only Ikoyi & VI, and Marina can truly compete with the Ikeja axis.

Tram is a Mama-Thank-You last born, and Nomy is a very serious wannabe that probably believes in social climbing and hanging with the 'right' people, hence her otimkpu forced friendship with Neche and Temi.

Girls like that also specialize in cvck-blocking for their more attractive girlfriends, especially when they feel that the guy no reach. She would have met her true match in Sheggz, name dropping and bragging for choke!

They will earn the first strikes of the season.

fitzmayowa:
Araga talking about gang chasing him, there is alot of back story to Araga though.

The way he erupts when angry there is something behind this calmness he puts out there....

Gang chasing him ke, how? You mean outside the house?

safarigirl:
Generally, the sight of two light skin people inside ship, displeases me greatly.

Like, why are two yellow people together? They will always look alike to me. And yes, they have similar face structure, he and Neche, and look like they could pass as cousins or siblings

If Neche wears a short wig, fixes a light chin beard and mustache, and talks with a sluggish, deeper cadence, you'll think it's Barry. Which is why i find the whole thing weird. Maybe Neche has noticed it too.

Lol, yellow people are still black people o, we come in many varieties, especially among Igbo & some Akwa/Cross people.

When i was in the East, i saw really exotic human beings - naturally blonde girls, people with grey/greenish eyes, people with brown eyes, biracial-looking people, people that look like Arabs, all full-blooded Igbos, many of whom still lived in the village.

From Phyno to Ozo to Nina to Angela Okorie to Tekno to Pat Utomi that retd General Okorie-Afia(former NYSC boss).

We sometimes kinda treat them somehow and e no too make sense, which is why Mercedes smartly tried to kill the melanin argument between Bells & Neche that was getting intense, it was like Neche felt her blackness was being questioned, and Bells senselessly acting like she's more black.

safarigirl:
Same Araga that used this entire week to be asking for assurance, and spent over an hour closemarking the babe on Thursday

As much as men are flattered when they’re with a girl other men want, I also think they can be quite jealous too

It happens to the best of us. Sensible men however walk away, weak men start fights & risk getting regulated for it.

Women on the other hand seek to first despise each other and naturally hate to share their stuff, which includes their men.

I personally don't like it when women overreact when they suspect other women are involved with their men. They know the men love them, they know they're the No. 1s, yet they get irritated with sidechicks that are just temporary distractions and flavours of the week.

This is another area i think Dessa also shines. She actually wants Araga to explore with other women and then come back to her, she's not unreasonably possessive.

safarigirl:
He no manufacture any fake fight with Topher because he and Topher are still not good till this day. Imagine thinking someone will manufacture fake fight for Reunion, which kain unserious talk be that? Why would he even need to manufacture anything, when his triangle with Nelly and Mayor was still brought up in that Reunion?

You sef!

Anyway, again, thank God Araga cannot be called boring by any honest soul. Anybody that calls my guy boring, must tell me what their fave’s name is, and the exciting thing their fave has done.

Oh, my bad. You know both of them personally? So they're actually not good till today, wow!

And yes, they're usually coached bts to try and create highlights during the reunion show. I know this because i personally spoke with someone in that NLG season. Because they were deemed generally boring, the production team/crew were warning then that it was their last shot at popularity, so they better give in their best effort to make the reunion show watchable.

That explains the nonsense Mensan and Denari did during their season's reunion show.

fitzmayowa:
That's what she wants to do, she tried pulling that on Araga last week Thursday after the party and that one told her he is not going to be competing or getting angry over her shenanigans with another guy.....

Lol, and you believe Araga?

Beorn:
I don watch this Barry well, well and na fine guy o. He's definitely top 3 most handsome males this season.

Why is nobody mentioning the fact that Barry and Neche have a very spooky resemblance? Minus skin tone, watch their noses, chin, their body frames and when they smile.

If i was Barry, i can cuddle and peck,but i would rather wait till after the show to be sure before I do wetin fit carry me go alusi!

safarigirl:
Meanwhile, if Jingle Bells wants to go home, she should quick and take that Voluntary Exit, make we hear word

I dislike unserious people so much. You came to show to help yourself, because you don see man wey kiss you for 2 and half days, you’re so upset you’re threatening Voluntary Exit. Voluntary Exit on top preek wey full outside?

If na me, after Yusuf don discharge me, I go carry yansh go another preek, or join Flora and Oyin’s gossip club.

That thing she did at night, begging him for another chance and apologizing, already irritated me. Nothing wey she go fit use the boy do post show anyway, so, what are you holding on for? If na kiss, make she go kiss Tram or Cassi, or even Chimsom. She should strong chest and move on.

Pipe no too dey abundant like before o, which is why many of you females are buying up every intimacy gadget in sight.

Apart from Tram & maybe Chuka, watch how none of the guys this year have no real stories about flexing or living in financial stability. In Tinubu's Nigeria, many men are on survival mode. The 40k you'll spend on Uber money to bring the babe wey wan nack you can be used to buy units or raw foodstuff or fuel for your gen or car.

Even hookup don reduce. Plus, you think Bells gets that many DMs and cat-calls outside the house?

safarigirl:
See how Barry turns on his flirt with Goddessa, he has the same chemistry with Temi, but when he’s talking to Barrister…no chemistry

See him admitting he’s more free with Goddessa than with his other babe…Mr Barry wan finish us, chai!

Neche is beautiful and a legit golden-skinned nepo baby, but she's really just a good wife material.

Chiamaka is earthy, smoky, mysterious, and she has the weird ability to just naturally ooze off sexual energy. Her personality get as e be, but she's undeniably hot.

Araga is obviously not the first guy that has bought her fight.

If she truly wants to mess with Barry's mental health, it would be too easy.

Godessa must be feeling like one queen of seduction knowing that she has 2 of the fresh boys of the season in her hands.

safarigirl:
And all these ones are Araga’s problem. You think the Araga is a fool?

All the what ifs you want to hold on to, does not take away from the fact that Cassi is a poohsie nigga. Make nobody carry rubbish talk near Araga na him own be that. Everytime he has gotten into anything with any of the guys, it’s because they came at him first.

I am so glad he is catching his highlights, because many of you on this thread and social media keep calling the guy boring, but only am don dey two confrontations in 2 weeks, amongst other highlights. So, everybody should confront their own biases, because Araga has defeated every metric of boring.

When it was my Sooj, world people say he was avoiding confrontation. Thank God nobody can use that one to discredit Araga now.

My own joy is that my people are not boring and have provided talking points. People can sneer and attempt to discredit their contribution, but dem get highlights die.

My name isn't "many of you on this thread", i didn't even have any opinion of him apart from noting that the ship with Dessa would give him highlights.

Na you alone know wetin Cassi and Ricky do you.

And kai, Sooj? Isn't that the guy that had the compulsive binge eating disorder that had to manufacture a fake fight with Topher for reunion highlights? You sef!

safarigirl:
Maybe he don size up, know say he fit no win the fight. All these burly guys rarely ever fight the way they look.

The guy is just a coward. I no fit rate am at all.

And you can say "All these burly guys" because you have fighting experience? Buff guys that look intimidating typically get tired easily and can't fight, BUT many buff guys can actually also fight. Kiss Daniel's bouncer is a kickboxer, Bobby Lashley is a very good fighter, Kiddwaya got very beefy in All Stars, but he's a martial artist. Never say Never.

What if Araga just has a Bruce Lee physique and loud voice with some basic street-fighting experience? Chiamaka na kuku smooth criminal, if anything happens to Araga's stay in the house, she'll be down for a day or two before moving on. No time!

safarigirl:
He was not defending any woman’s honour, he was shutting down disrespect.

Cassi did not approach him to report what Goddessa did, he was telling him “I dey feed your girl..”, please, who do you think that statement is disrespecting? Because it is definitely not the girl.

Even the craziest person in Biggie’s house cannot do damage. Once men want to justify cowardly behaviour, una go dey come up with the unlikeliest of scenarios.

There have been 11 seasons of Big Brother Naija, and over 100 seasons of the Big Brother franchise worldwide, and nobody has ever been killed by another housemate, but it will now happen this season with Araga, because he’s defending HIMSELF.

Men ehn…for a logical gender, some of the things you people say, logic go dey shame.

Lol, what in the false equivalence?!

Nobody has been killed, but I'm not sticking around to have a first, and neither are the show's promoters.

In BBA, Nando almost knifed Elikem.

DKB & Zainab had a violent altercation.

Roki & Maina same thing.

Now we come to BBnaija.

Cee-C & Tobi was dangerously close to violent. Biggie had to commend Tobi for his very high restraint.

Ike & Seyi in Pepper Dem could have gone bad if Frodd didn't intervene.

Pere & Whitemoney could have turned really ugly.

Mercy and Tacha could have resulted in serious injuries.

Deks would have pounded Sheggz to a pulp.

What if Rooboy had lost it and rendered Zita unconscious?

What if Kaybobo decided to let loose on Mensan?

What if Bright Morgan had gotten close enough to KK to use that bottle?

What if Kuture decided to really put hands on Faith?

I don't know what part of you thinks human conflict is an impossibility in a monitored environment.

What stopped Araga from quietly telling Cassi to cut it out instead of yelling because he wants a woman to think he's hard? Then Cassi reciprocates, it gets messy, he gets disqualified, and he'll go home to watch Dessa get pumped by some other dude on national TV (remember Seidou/Talia on BBA as well as Bella/Koyin/KK?).

Smart men avoid & de-escalate issues when they're still at 0 before they get to 100.

For someone who talks a very big game about logic, how come this is lost on you?

bentenny:
Yusuf Godessa didn't chase out Tram.
She was just smiling and vibing with him.
You just believed what Godessa said😁😁
This man.😀

She curved him still. Tram needs brushing sha

safarigirl:
Mind you, that post was about Cassi’s game as a whole, not about his one moment with Araga.

Was Cassi not shouting at Goddessa? So, his voice could be loud for a woman, but as soon as his fellow man raised voice for him, him body cool down? Why he no shout back for Araga as he been dey shout for Goddessa?

If he wants to be a man, let him start by telling Neche he fancies her, because even that one is too hard for him to do, let me not expect him to match his fellow men in shouting.

He handled the situation like a poohsie nigga, because why would you even approach Araga to tell him you cooked food for his girl? What is that supposed to mean? He no even sabi talk, na wetin make dem change am for am.

Even in his shouting match with Chiamaka, he was still quite restrained, let's be honest. He was just raising his voice more.

With a guy, it's not a shouting matter. It's a quiet process of sizing each other up and planning what to do if it pops off.

Meanwhile, i agree with you on the Neche situation. His being shy isn't the issue, his jabbing Ricky constantly and living vicariously through Barry is.

safarigirl:
Men have also gone 6ft under because they didn’t know when to change it for other men.

Anything fit kpai you, but the likelihood is less in Biggie’s house

Never say never. As a woman,you can sit back and act like a court side audience member at a WWE match. For the guy, it's a dangerous gamble that might take his head, hence why smart men pick their fights carefully & don't go buying people's battles anyhow.

I get that it's chivalrous to defend a woman's honour, but at what cost?

And don't think Biggie's House is 100% foolproof. A crazy person might snap and do damage before bouncers and policemen flood the house.

akinsto4ever:
See you, guys Dey simp wella offline ooo. Na online una go Dey drink ogidiga

If Neche, Godessa or Sheba talk dat kain tin, i fit believe small. But KAMSY the funky teletubby? Nah!

Clement1111:
same ricky wey most of the girls dey talk down on

abegi

Leave girls o. He's annoying, he's this , he's that, they don't send him, WHY are they still wasting energy talking about someone that they don't rate in any way?

That's why Ricky has calmly become the most popular male housemate of this season by simply keeping quiet and maintaining nonchalance.
