Celebrities › Re: I’m a Yoruba Boy: My Mother Is from Ondo, My Father Is Lebanese- Ramsey Nouah by Pillar12: 10:12am On Oct 06
Beniyke1:
According to you guys, GRV who his father is Yoruba and his mother is Igbo is not Yoruba enough because he doesn’t speak Yoruba, but Ramsey who his father is Lebanese is more Yoruba than GRV cos he probably speaks Yoruba fluently. Na wa o! Wetin tribalism and politics go do us for this country eeeeh!
Let me clarify this..... GRV's father is not Yoruba, in fact, he is not Nigerian. The Vivour family originally comes from Sierra Leone.

No one is upset that GRV cannot speak Yoruba. The issue is that he has stated he does not think in Yoruba. For someone who does not think in Yoruba to want to govern Yoruba people is unacceptable. This, combined with his past tweets that have disparaged the Yoruba people multiple times, leads to the Yoruba rejecting him.

The Yoruba say no to him not because he cannot speak Yoruba, but because he openly admits he does not think in Yoruba.

I have known Ramsey Noah as a proud Yoruba man since 2007. He confidently embraces and showcases his Yoruba heritage, proudly wearing his Omoluabi attire at every event he attends.


His Yoruba name is Tokunbo, and he speaks fluent Yoruba. He grew up in the Surulere area of Lagos


A true embodiment of an Omoluabi man

Any way time to drag this season properly

What a disgraceful season

Razzness won as usual
UK razz Temi Nkem came to copy past razz winners combined the razzness and won

Pity vote and razzness just taking turns to win BBNaija, it's the most trusted strategy, carry pity vote or be razz whether uk or Nigerian razzness all is allowed

What an end to a disgraceful season filled with disgusting tribalism towards Igbos multiple times and from multiple people

Violence and people supporting violence

Bullying of Nomy by big brother

This season deserves the lack of attention it got
This season had a higher number of Igbos compared to any other tribe.

This your talk no gel

Dannyxy hasn't appeared on this thread at all this season.


I'm pretty sure he lost interest as soon as he saw the MID housemates on launch day grin grin
TV/Movies › Re: BBNaija 2026 (Season 11) Live Update Thread by Pillar12: 9:25pm On Oct 04
The season was so bad and boring that Big Brother had to rush the last three contestants out of the house to hastily conclude the season.


It was so poorly received that they ended up evicting two housemates simultaneously during the finale.

The production team must have suffered significant financial losses this year.

It's was during lockdown.
When everyone was at home.

However,there has been a massive migration to other social media platforms over the years.

Hence using the number of pages to qualify or quantify the quality of the season will be inaccurate and unfair.

10/10 actually had more pages than NGL but I do get your point

10/10 season remains memorable and up there with one of BBNAIJA best seasons..however,it's nairaland pages finished less than the one of the worst seasons NLG.

On a brighter note, this dull and uneventful season will finally come to an end today.


This disappointing season should never happen again. The selection of housemates was so poor that most viewers lost interest right from the launch night after seeing below-par contestants.


The production team should consider taking a two year break or at least bring in more aesthetically pleasing housemates of both genders. Alternatively, since we now have celebrity boxing matches, it would be great to feature BBNaija celebrities, as that should be feasible.


Good luck to whoever wins tonight, and I wish every one of them the very best in their future endeavors. Despite the overall boredom, a few housemates did stand out.


This is the second season without stanning anyone for me since the NGL season, which was also boring

I was so irritated reading that Chuka nonsense clearly written with AI that I had to come back here with disgust.

GOAT of all season and tasks, how? What a load of garbage, maybe cos this season had some of the weakest uncompetitive males ever is why we can be seeing such nonsense. Person wey no even reach Eloswag for tasks. This below is exactly what Chimsom was, nobody should come rewrite rubbish for us here, we watched the show. Someone who Neche was even dusting in tasks back to back before she left
Like eh

I almost smashed my phone after reading that garbage....who tf is even Chuka to be in a goat conversation? That guy most likely be his brother or one of his family member

Again, you're constantly shifting the goalposts to make up unnecessary arguments with your tears in my mention.

"Made a mark"?

What alternate world do people like you erupt from? Calling my take on him being the Goat of competitiveness is your sentiments dressed as irrefutable facts when you're not dropping who you think can pass off as the Goat of competition in all seasons.

Drop a name you consider better than him let's all evaluate it if you think otherwise, or remain shut.

Have we not all watched the seasons of BBN?

Abi another one dey?

I'm not even going to deem you worthy of a debate on this after your sh! t-staining remarks that portray you as unfit for this argument.

I opined that Thin Tall Tony, Miracle, Tobe, Hermes, and Liquorose are the only worthy mentions that can match Chuka's competitive grit. You sound pained about it for reasons not quite unpopular for the sane-minded.

You're the one here with a mucous nose and tears drenched hanky dropping posts of disagreement yet with nothing comprehensible to refute my argument. Why not make it an enjoyable debate huh? By mentioning those other "top 50" better than Chimsom Chuka regarding competitiveness.
Bro, this whole “Chuka is the GOAT of task competitiveness” saga is starting to sound like a bad joke. You’re out here acting like he’s the only one who ever lifted a finger in those challenges, please, spare us the fairy tale.


And you, the guy riding shotgun on this nonsense, acting like you’re the ultimate expert on competition Newsflash...defending Chuka like he’s the king of tasks doesn’t make you smart, it just makes you desperate for attention.


Chuka had his moments, sure, but calling him the GOAT? That’s like crowning a benchwarmer MVP. Meanwhile, real task warriors like Adekunle, Prince, Elozanam, and Jason Jay just to name a few, were not called Goat even though your Chuka wouldn't be able to sit on the same table as them...


So keep crying about your “competitive grit” and clutching at, but don’t expect anyone to take this circus seriously. The only thing you’re winning is the award for most delusional fan.

You're so quick to mention mebut too slow to read properly, because you do so with a vile intention to be noticed.

That statement you quoted isn't complete. If you read the litmus test of competitiveness and not consider Chuka as an adequate best of all best then you're just a silly klutz or at best a troll who crawled your way into my mention. A recalcitrant attention-seeking squid.

Yes, I said what I said. Who can measure up to him in terms of competitiveness asides the names I mentioned? Test yourself.

Piller wey no get concrete cement na im you be. Fuçking drab.
Look, I get it you’re mad because someone’s not bowing down to Chuka like he’s the second coming. But facts don’t care about feelings. Calling him the GOAT? That’s a joke even the show’s biggest fans wouldn’t buy.

And you, coming in with that half-baked defense like you’re some kind of expert? Please. Your “litmus test” sounds like something you made up on the spot to justify a weak take.


Keep flexing for Chuka if it makes you happy, but don’t drag the rest of us into your fantasy world. Real fans know who actually left a mark....and it’s not him.


If you want to argue, bring something better than empty hype and insults. Otherwise, just sit down and enjoy the silence.

switdick:
You can state your opinion of not finding Chimsom entertaining as just your opinion, because in all honesty, it's garbage. Trying to reduce his value in the house solely on his competitiveness is a shady attempt to erode his other qualities.

Let us unpack the lie in your textbook analysis. You cannot claim "entertainment is subjective" and in the same breath say he wasn't entertaining if we must look at the whole spectrum of entertainment, then we should say, "entertainment value".

Personality wise
Relationships
Competitiveness
Looks & Lifestyle
Drama
Impact & Influence etc

All these are topics that spark talking points hence engagements are created to keep people talking or captivated. So, being competitive is equally entertaining because his drive to win games in the arena stems from his performance. People talk about who they want to watch play games so they can laugh and be entertained. Chimsom brought everything as far as talking points are concerned. His eviction shocked his fellow housemates because he was a deserving winner-material. His friendship built in the house showed his impact on people, he was indeed influential. Arguably the most influential because he was the most talked about by the housemates and he got the most mentions by them when accolades were dished out during their Legacy wager presentation. Just yesterday, he was praised by viewers for lighting up the party.

Those who erroneously ascribe to Sultex as the life of the party, do so, to craftily snatch the crown from Chuka because of personal bias like yourself. One is a choreography dancer with a mono-acrobatic move while the other is a flexible energetic babes-rocking stepper with multiple moves.

I could think of 3-4 life-of-the-party housemates this season, and even if reduced to just two, Chuka is in the conversation.

If a litmus test of light on competitiveness is switched on, your Adekunle of Levelup was not the spark of his season, Hermes was. And this Chuka we see here, can pass off as the Goat of all season, with only Thin Tall Tony of SeeGobe, Miracle and Tobe of double wahala, Hermes of Level up, and maybe Liquorose of SYE can measure up to his winning grits.

You saying he had a god complex is just a projection of your own inferiority complex, he was actually a humble guy with too much pouring out of emotions. He was himself, not very emotionally smart, agreed. He never saw himself as that "guy" because he feared evictions despite his input in the house. He was not like Goddessa who believed the show was hers. You can't overlook the value he brought and hate him for the personal negative side of his quibblings when he doesn't win(something he owns with his full chest, and that he's working on)but love Oyin for her unnecessary bitterness and quarrelsomeness

Aside from Temi Nkem, Sheba, Aikou's uniqueness and Tram's interesting flirtations, what entertainment value do the others have?

Those who say, the finalists "meet" the criteria of entertainment for the larger voting numbers to mean, they're more deserving, do so to shade ex-housemates who actually deserved to be finalists. It's like lying to oneself simply because the voting masses tilt in their favour. Just as present housemates who are finalists lie to themselves that they're more deserving and brought more than those who actually brought more. It's a coping mechanism to dress their incompetence as competence. Rather than acknowledge that Nigeria has a people-problem hence the masses who make up the higher voting percentage have a faulty view of "entertainment"

What is entertaining about Blue, Oyin, Flora, Barry, Kievo and Aikou? etc

Are they more deserving than Chuka in all honesty?

Even your Ricky, is not actually it. I don't have a problem with him though because, to me, he enjoys the privileges of what women who bring nothing other than their prettiness. I like how his presence offends the sensibilities of the egos of modern feminists. Women who are entitled to enjoy or monopolise the privileges of looks even when they're nothing without it. Well, we the men, present Ricky to you all. A case of what is good for the goose....

There are no housemates with perfect characters. They all have their flaws. Why couldn't Nigerians overlook Chuka's pugnaciousness and at least make him a finalist? It's bad that he isn't a contender for the win but not making the finals is wild.
No present finalist this season, is more deserving of a finalist than Chimsom Chuka. Take that to Pluto and come back, the answer is the same. He is just a victim of a problematic amorphous mass of voters.

Just as I truly believe, Tinubu didn't rig his way to the seat, he won because we have people like you lurking around in higher numbers and voted him to power due to personal biases and , or a skewed sense of judgment.
"Chuka can pass off as the Goat of all season."

Seun Osewa, please can you just deactivate this forum so we wouldn’t have to read nonsense like this anymore?

What does “Chuka goat of all season” even mean? That guy wouldn’t make the top 50 best housemates to ever grace this show. This nonsense has just ruined my day. I’m going back to sleep.

Wtf did I just read!

Taskunle was only good at tasks too...and intelligent, how was he entertaining during his two outings? He was dull, gossipy and was hiding foodstuff

I didn't find him entertaining but you did, so I can understand your view about Chisom
Comparing Adekunle to Aikou should be considered a serious offense.

If Adekunle is consider not entertaining, then Aikou doesn't even exist.

Big brother and the entire franchise team will surely regret how this shambolic season unfolded, especially with the below par housemates they have selected.


There is absolutely no buzz around this season, even many Big Brother Naija addicts have moved on from the show. You could scroll through X for two hours straight without coming across a single post about this season...it’s that bad.


It’s time to either take a break, Or go back to the drawing board, or stop bringing in average housemates just to impress some Nigerians by saying, "We need housemates that represent our daily lifestyle." The organizers should abandon that mindset and instead bring in aesthetically pleasing housemates to reignite Nigerian interest.

Nigeria, as a nation, is class-conscious. Stop casting unattractive and poverty stricken housemates, and watch how the show regains its mojo.

Ricky is a fine boy. No arguments. Yes, he's boring but he's fine and that why he's gone far.
Ricky isn't as exceptional as Scondy often claims. While he is fine, he's not the extremely attractive guy that people have been raving about, in fact he's Mid

What really got him this far wasn’t his looks or charm. In fact, it was what Neche, Blue, and Sheba mentioned early in the season about him having body odor that caught the attention of many Arisers. In the first week, Ricky wasn’t even among the housemates who received much recognition from viewers. It was mainly Neche and Sheba who brought him into the spotlight by speaking negatively about him. Additionally, since most of the girls in the house rejected him, some viewers felt sympathy for him and started supporting him as their favorite from that point on.

I’ve seen many of those videos on X, showing how Arisers rallied behind him. His popularity had nothing to do with his appearance at all.

This is my second time watching this season since the opening day of the show.

Overall, this season has been underwhelming for me and hasn’t lived up to the standards set by previous seasons. Although it still slightly edges out the NLG season, the selections this time have been subpar and disappointing.

I won’t be watching again until the finale.

It has been a shambolic season from start to finish.

The best BBNaija season was Tacha and Mercy season. It was peak live television. This thread reached 2000 pages halfway through the show

Every celebrity, content creator and even politicians sef were invested in the show. Non-stop content every minute you came online.

You had fanbases fighting at bustops in Lagos. You had people registering over 20 different phone numbers just so they could vote. There were voting centers all across the country. People were even going as far as paying strangers to vote for their housemate of choice

The season you are hyping pales in comparison.
The Lockdown season remains the absolute best. Even though the Pepper Dem season was awesome, Lockdown was simply on another level and broke every single record. The 10/10 season was also fantastic and definitely deserves a spot in the top three.

The ideal ranking would probably be Lockdown first, followed by Pepper Dem, and then 10/10, though some viewers even rate 10/10 ahead of Pepper Dem.

People tell on themselves when they pick at certain things. I’m actually a classist, and I’m okay with that. I like aesthetics, I like people who look and sound good. So, even if you want to be dumb, give me something else to work with, like dance moves and looks.

The average IQ for last year’s contestants was possibly 45. Even their “guru” for that season, did not know what the word “accost” means, he was talking bollocks and nobody challenged him, that was my last straw. On Day 1 of this season, Cassi used the word “Expedient” and used it correctly…nuff said.

I apologise for wanting to watch people who sound intelligent, and who know what a ballroom-themed task is supposed to look like.

If I wanted to see people screaming at each other and being chaotic, I know where a motor park is….

Anyway, I am anticipating parties now, because Araga told me he was a stepper and I want to see him in action. Maybe I can use him to replace the space Sooj left in my mind.
You call yourself classist and into aesthetics, but you hate last season and suddenly love this one?
This season barely has any attractive women compared to last season.

So do you actually know what "classist" and "aesthetics" mean, or do you just have a personal vendetta against last season?
