We'll bounce back from this. We needed this loss. For years, we've been using fanciful perfume to mask our pungent body odor without treating the root cause of the odor. Hopefully this spurs the FG to declare a state of emergency on our football. Losing back to back World Cups is no joke.

If Senegal and Morocco can suddenly dominate African football after being minnows for the entire 20th century and part of the 21st, why can't we?

I find it poetic though, that the two biggest African football powerhouses in Cameroon and Nigeria are currently in the doldrums.

The way we are so quick to forget…
Chelle has done well to bring us this far. But let's not kid ourselves, he was totally trounced and outplayed here. Whatever happens next, I hope he takes this game as a lesson not to write off your midfield. Goals are important, but it's the midfield that brings stability to a game.

To think that people wrote off this DRC team as another Gabon or Benin. Y'all forget that DR Congo has been right behind the very best of the continent for a long time. Just like SA.

Even if we qualify, we'll just go there to mark attendance.

Normally, we're good with penalties, but with the low confidence in this team right now, I'm not sure what to think.

Credit to Chelle for getting us to the playoffs. Unfortunately his best is not good enough. Akinsanmiro and Onyedika are sorely missed in this game.

Eric Chelle is looking clueless so far. Not going to lie. Not saying he's a bad coach in general, but it's clear this game is beyond him.

While the boys focus on securing the CAF ticket, I think we should be hoping that Curacao remains among the top two best second-place teams to advance from the CONCACAF final round. I'm not saying Panama and Costa Rica will be a problem, but out of all the teams currently set to play in the inter confederation playoffs, these are the only two teams I can see with the capacity to actually surprise and beat us if we go there slouching and lackadaisical.

Panama are big rivals of USA and Jamaica, the latter of which gave us a hell of a battle in the last Unity Cup. Costa Rica almost qualified to the knockout stage in the last World Cup from a group that had Spain, Germany and Japan. I think it was just the goal difference that stopped them.

Yes they're not better than us on paper, but even minnows sef get grade.

I just feel it will be more comforting going to the inter-confederation knowing our biggest challenge will be Qatar.

Although, on the flip side I guess it would be nice to face Panama and Costa Rica, as those are the caliber of opponents we will likely meet in the World Cup group stages.

Anyhow sha, let's see how it goes.

TV/MoviesRe: BBNaija 2025 (Season 10) Live Update Thread by LordTheus(m): 4:58pm On Oct 13, 2025
meobizy:
Any serious showrunner should completely disregard online criticism if it wants to survive in the entertainment industry. Online, I always see posts complaining that educational shows are on the decline. Unemployed people claim BBNaija would lose market if educational programs returned to the airwaves.

I’m here watching The Next Titan. I have never seen any thread dedicated to the program. If it existed, people who’d patronize it would not total to ten at best. We saw what happened when Gulder Ultimate Search and WWTBAM returned. The common comment I saw which dominated their threads was “thank God for this return. Nobody will patronize BBNaija again.” No comment past that focused on the show’s actions. Well, we know how those ended up.

Nigerians are hypocrites. They don’t know what’s good for them. Give them what they want and they will still find means to complain.
To be honest, the truth is that audiences reject alternative shows like Ultimate Search and WWTBAM because these shows don't really understand what drives sustained engagement. Ultimate Search came back after how many years, with the same outdated formats and minimal sponsorships/promotional investments. Plus another thing that is important for a show to rival BBN now is audience participation mechanisms during active gameplay - which the two shows you mentioned lack.

The problem with GUS in particular is that the organizers were expecting nostalgia alone to carry them. Nostalgia is not enough. BBNaija succeeds because they know how to create a 24/7 engagement ecosystem where audiences feel ownership over the outcomes. Thats why the show keeps thriving, even though it has lost a bit of its magic: because the alternatives haven't offered compelling reasons to invest attention.

Anyone who wants to do a TV show here in Nigeria to rival BBN has to create a system where viewers can engage with the show, and where there's plenty of organic interpersonal drama in it to keep their attention. One show that I think would work well here in Nigeria is "The Traitors." It's very similar to Big Brother but with a few little differences. If executed well and given plenty of commitment from sponsors, it could attract a decent portion of the BBN viewer base. I could explain how but right now I'm lazy. But if you don't mind, I'll try to explain later.

Wanted to post on the finale night but got super preoccupied.

Anyways, congrats to Imisi. I wouldn't say she was my favorite or she deserved it, but she definitely had an interesting personality that was amusing to watch at times.

Was shocked about Koyin though. Never imagined Dede would surpass him.

Faith was doing so well till the final week. So much momentum, only to drop the ball at the last minute. Now he's going to go down in history as the first BBNaija housemate to get disqualified during the final week.

Anyways, the housemates this year are probably the best selection of housemates I've ever seen since Pepper Dem. Only reason I didn't follow this season religiously is because every season since Lockdown has left a bad taste in my mouth because of the production >> terrible gameplay decisions, unoriginal twists, repetitive scripts every year, low creativity etc.

All of those issues were still somewhat present this year, but the difference is that the housemates were just too good and entertaining, it made those issues look less relevant than they would usually be. So credit to the housemates, but still thumbs down to the production. BBN really need to work on their show's script. Don't leave everything to the housemates. Introduce hot twists that can shake up the game and leave viewers tense. Nothing about BBN leaves me tense and thrilled these days.

Below is my new rankings. After 3-4 years of mediocrity from both housemates and production, this season was a bit refreshing

1st - Pepper Dem (4.5 out of 5 stars)
2nd - See Gobe (4 out of 5 stars)
3rd - 10/10 (3.5 out of 5 stars)
4th - Lockdown (3.5 out of 5 stars)
5th - Double Wahala (3 out of 5 stars)
6th - Level Up (2.5 out of 5 stars)
7th - All Stars (2 out of 5 stars)
8th - SYE (2 out of 5 stars)
9th - BBTitans (1 out of 5 stars)
10th - No Lose Guard (no score. Horrible by every metric)

All this conversation about tribe no make sense, if they like the should pick all housemates from Fulani tribe what’s our business, it’s a private business not the civil service where you need federal character, yours is to pick a housemate you connect with.

But as usual Nigerians must view every single thing from a tribalistic Lens, that’s why your leaders can get away with misbehavior, after just sprinkle a little tribalism so they fight while we unite to enjoy the largess.
Rinse and repeat every year. Me I don tire to dey talk. Anytime tribe is involved, Nigerians will always throw their brains out the window.

Sorry , but BBN will never be a national show again .
It's now limited to a niche .
They'll always come back because they have their hardcore audience, but it will never have national buzz anymore (the way it used to) .

They committed the ultimate sin , they didn't know when to take a break .

Their greed got the best of them and they picked quantity over quality.

Churning out mediocre failed actors and influencers and hoping to legitimize them as celebrities, that's when their failure reached the zenith.

Anyway, Imisi is winning.
You may think that she doesn't deserve it , but she's the only one I hear about and I'm not even watching grin

She's definitely doing something right , that's why she has all the buzz .

No housemate is close to her in terms of fanbase and her voting percentage is off the chart , and they keep increasing astronomically at a brobdingnagian proportion hebdomadally .


There are some people that have made a career on this thread by always hating on the projected winner .

They think that makes them different and unique, while in actuality you're just selfsame with the bandwagoners . grin

They view themselves as non conformists who want to be different so badly while they're mere contrarians , and it stems from deep psychological and childhood traumas . grin

Best of luck to all the housemates ... I'd like to say that anything could still happen, but we all know that it won't.

Three weeks from now Imisi will be crowned the winner of big brother season 10.

People will rant.

People will curse .

They'll say how disappointed it is that Nigeria voted her.

She will most likely not result to much post show and people will say how A or B is the most deserving uncrowned winner .

Rinse and repeat, and the same thing will happen next year , and the year after it . grin

As a very wise man once said " stupidity is doing the same thing over and over , and expecting a different result " grin
I've been saying this from the very beginning that the organizers of this show, in their greed and rigid mindset, will totally undermine the novelty this show used to have in the late 2010s. I think BBN started becoming niche after the flop that was the "All-Stars" season. I noticed even this last season that KellyRae won, during the finals we didn't get any info from AfricaMagic delegates about records broken in ratings and viewership and all that. Already, that should tell you there is possibility that TV ratings for the show might have stalled in place at best, or worse, they've started taking a downward turn.

I remember during the Pepper Dem/Lockdown era, I couldn't walk ten steps on the streets without a reference to people like Mercy, Tacha, Erica, Ozo, Kiddwaya, Laycon and co, even from people in my office. Till date, these names are household names. But now, the average Nigerian couldn't care less. This time, some of my co-workers weren't even aware that the show had started until I told them, and still many said they'll pass on it.

Well, the show will always have its core fanbase, but the novelty and nationwide buzz it used to have is dead in the water. The only thing sustaining them now is sponsorship and the fact that the Nigerian reality TV scene is full of average shows which makes BBN continue to stand out.

Pillar12:
Enough of the Laycon and Ozo intellectual comparisons already! It's been a while since their season, let's not derail this thread. Both Ozo and Laycon were undeniably brilliant, showcasing sharp intellect and strategic thinking that set them apart. Ozo's cerebral approach and interesting storyline with Nengi complemented Laycon's gameplay and dynamic with Erica perfectly.
Yes, they were both intelligent. But if If Laycon was an A-tier intellectual competitor, Ozo was easily S-tier. Real ones know.

Honestly, Laycon might just be the most deserving Big Brother Naija winner ever – that guy had it all during the lockdown season. Ozo thicked all boxes too except for parties.
Deserving is what the audience decides. Laycon won because of a massive fanbase, not because of an objective checklist, or any game moves or personality rubbish. The voting numbers prove it.

Let's please focus on this season and enjoy the vibes and new dynamics unfolding."
I'll move on from this when people stop trying to gaslight others with revisionist BS.
