Lol... Reading updates about Teddy-A from Threebear, is like Reading about APC from PDP...
you should have known better..
Bia Akthedream, I'm trying hard to respect you but you are hell bent on insulting yourself.
Unlike you I never give fake updates, if you said you watched it and you didn't hear that part then you must have selective amnesia.
He talked about timaya, who was wearing pant in his studio ,talked about flavour, talked about working with selebobo on a song that his label said sounded too igbotic.
Then he talked about davido, asking him how much he had ,if he knew who his father was and the pool party davido's sister invited him to and davido was giving him a death stare.
I know teddy a 's accent is difficult for someone who has never travelled to understand but then he repeated that how much do you have line many times that even a deaf person could hear it.
Try and respect yourself, you are honestly really really starting to get on my nerves.

Not watching, yet, drew conclusion from a biased update.
You better respect your old age.
Everything I wrote there was what teddy a said and millions of people can confirm it.
Why on earth would I accuse him of something he didn't say?
Better find your respect and stick to it.

Miracle is d winner already joorh cos ibos will support him rather than any ibo female girl in d house.

Lesson: Recognize/identity a Delilah & be rid of her immediately.
You act like the winner has already been decided, there are two months left.
Anything can still happen, how he handles this break with cee cee will either boost his game or kill it completely.

In the cooler, full of ice packs, there are lots of Pepsi cans and the housemates are obviously having fun.

Bam bam requests that Pepsi should bring alcohol next, that the sugar is getting ennui.

There is a break from the dance and big brother orders that all the housemates should make their way outside and close the front door.

Nina goes to teddy A to borrow his glasses (sun shade) he happily obliges
She dances a bit and then proceeds to go to the rocking mat like hang at the garden.

Teddy A talking about Davido .

He said he had an encounter with Davido, and davido was looking at him in a demeaning way, he told him "so you are the one trying to steal my concept? "

Then he started queering him

"do you have money? "
"do you have money ?"
American boy do you have money?
Do you know who my father is?

Then when they were in a club, Davido's sister invited him to a pool party and davido was giving her the death stare

"don't you dare fooork this nigga "

This man steadily killing whatever is left of his comatose career grin

Very soon an innocent child will be insulted and you people will start crying.

Did someone just say miracle is jealous of Teddy A? grin

Let's see.

Miracle comes from a good family, his parents are still living together and their family is thriving with love.

Teddy A is from a broken home, haven't talked to his father in years, his mother smokes with him and helps him arrange girls to sleep with (according to Teddy a)


Miracle is way more handsome than teddy a, his skin is smooth and his body is lean muscled .

Teddy A has an average face that turns ugly once his hair is not in place, his chest is flabby, his body is riddled with eczema and his waist line is more than 50 inches, poor dietary restrictions and inadequate exercise.


Miracle already has a good career path at just 23

Teddy A is a struggling artiste at 30 ,who lives above his means.

Miracle is much more smarter than teddy a, has a much wider range of knowledge and a resilient will and an unmatched determination to succeed.

Teddy A is lazy, uninspiring and has very poor attitude to work and a very poor personal hygiene.

Miracle dresses better than teddy A, he makes every outfit work.

Teddy a dresses like a Rastafarian with a runny stomach.



Please give me one single reason miracle would be insecure around Teddy a because I'm yet to find any

TTT- married

TeddyA- Not married

TTT- kept his marriage secret

TeddyA- told bam he has a gf but nothing serious

How are both related?

Now who is Juliet the girl miracle gave a shoutout to on valentine's day?
If he indeed lived in a the USA, girl he's married.
They are both tall without much sense.
They both picked the ugliest women in the house and made them fall heedlessly in lust .
Both think they've figured out the game.
Both demonstrate massive amount of pride.
Both are seasoned watchers of the show .
Both are aged without much achievement.
Both act mature in the house and trash other housemates in the diary room.
Both are mediocre in their chosen profession.

Have you seen the relation? undecided

Updates for those not watching.

Mina are doing their laundry together and yabbing the hell out of each other grin

The scenes goes to ahneeka and angel...

Ahneeka brings the food in a plastic plate (samvita and ofe ogbono)
Angel says he can't eat on a plastic that ahneeka should serve him on a glass plate, aheeneka tells him to go get it himself and leave hers on the plastic.
Ahneeka further challenges him, telling him that what if he had been at work or a movie set, and they serve him on a plastic, so he'll ask them to give him a glass instead, angel says this is not work, that in his house he showers naked and sleeps same but here he showers with boxers and sleeps with his clothes on, that everything is different here.

They settle in to eat their food. A passing Nina stops to join ahneeka , she eats a little and asks for meat and soup to take to miracle, which ahneeka obligingly agree to, teddy a and Tobi also come and take some pieces of meat from ahneeka's soup.

Inside the dressing room, Alex is dying ricco's hair, miracle joins them to give psychological support to a visibly upset Nina, who's serving her punishment of cleaning up the house.
Miracle tells Nina he can't help her out since the punishment was designated by biggie himself and was specifically alloted individually.
Miracle tries getting Nina to dye her hair, which she astutely rebuffs, saying unless her hair is relaxed, she can't do it, that it will look weird on her virgin hair. Angel tries to get Alex to dye his hair too, alex refuses telling him his hair looks like a maze of corn and the dye wouldn't sit right.

The housemates break into a dance. (Tobi, Alex Teddy a)
Teddy A leading, teddy a says the guys from last season trended because of their dance moves, that their set consistently come up with new dance moves. The break out into a series of chart busting dance moves (rolls my eyes)
The self control dance
The hunger dance
And other ciaralike and kaffydance routine grin


Teddy tells us a story of his 13 year old niece that apparently sleep walks and defecates inside the kitchen pots and he had to flog her.
A bemused ifu eneda asks him if this happened when he was in the USA, as the date didn't seem to correspond with the time schedule he gave them, he spent in the USA, he says it happened in Nigeria.

Cee cee is apparently upset with the tooth paste they have in the house, saying it gives her injuries .

The scene transitions to the housemates in the bedroom.
Anto has dished out some food for Miracle ,Nina thanks her and later joins miracle to eat.
Tobi is still talking about his dad's birthday and his happiness of not giving gifts this year.

Ignore every typo.

Because of your personal pride, you're willing to give a man that has demonstrated basically no sense of hunger, enthusiasm or growth, 25 million naira?

With the lackadaisical attitude he's exhibited in the house, does he strike you as someone who could put that money to good use or triple it?

It's a shame some people support blindly, sad indeed.

First of all, I tink CC killed Tobi's game, I mean none of d guys in d house has anytin on him, check overall standings(HOH, games etc). Miracle has fans today coz of d romance same wit Teddy, talking of Teddy( no hating) wat significant tin as he done in d house.
Did u guys watch d 1st 2 wiks of show atall, CC rubbishd Tobi yet she is d 1 getting d pity.
Had CC gotten ryt from d beginning, ceebi d av bin d couple to beat, even Mina wnt stand a chance
Tobi just doesn't have star quality, nothing about him stands out, don't blame cee cee for anything, some man would have gone through the same experience and come out a much stronger contender.
What Tobi does have is a lot of luck!
He's naturally a "very lucky person "
I guess we will be seeing how far his luck takes him.

TV/Movies › Re: Live: Big Brother Naija 2018 (Double Wahala) BBNaija Live Thread by Threebear(m): 8:58am On Mar 03, 2018
Tobi, ifu and angel.

Tobi tells ifu and angel that even though he recognizes miracle as his competition, that he couldn't put him up because he has a score to settle with lolu.

According to him, lolu was among the people that conspired against him. Dee one was the chairman and lolu played a vital role. That game was all about strategies and having people around you, you could trust.

Ifu tells Tobi, that now she's seen his decision from his own point of view, that it is finally easier for her to assimilate.

Cee cee comes into the dressing room obviously agitated, earlier on she was trying to flirt with Ricco and l looked stiffer than watching a cow trying to twerk. Rico whispers to Tobi, that he should talk out his problems with cee cee
Tobi mocks cee cee and says "the worst is that she still thinks she's important "

Ricco tries to get cee cee to talk to Tobi, cee cee says she's done with Tobi, that this week she got the insult of her life, that why would she be wasting time with a little boy that has clearly nothing to offer her (dayum)

Tobi tells cee cee, that even when she was stuck ten minutes at a puzzle, that he was still cheering her on, telling her "cee cee, you can do it! "

Cee cee tells him that if he had her best interest at heart, he wouldn't have put her up for eviction.

(ahneeka walks into the room, it looks finally like she's had her bath)
Tobi asks ahneeka to tell him all the fault she said he needs to work on...
Ahneeka repeats :
Insensitive
Making people look bad
And sulking

Miracle adds conji grin


(camera pans to Anto and lolu)

Lolu is telling Anto that it seems like he's in a competition for her affection .Anto tells lolu that that was what the game should be, that he should constantly be in competition for her affection. She tells lolu he has fallen for her which was never what she planned for ,that his feelings was starting to affect his game and hers. That he needs to prove his worth fast or else she might just push Nina from miracle's bed (Bitch Please)
Lolu asks her how she would feel getting down with another dude in the house despite the thing they have, she tells lolu that he doesn't know anything about her, that she feels there is something defiantly trying to pull her into some direction.
(a total mess)


Highlights from all the diary sessions.

Ricco... Mina are a genuine couple

Bam bam.... What I feel for teddy a is real

Alex.... Leo and I are the only real couple.

Ifu eneda.... I don't believe there is any real couple in the house.

Lolu.... I can't say for sure, I'm not in anyone's mind.

Anto.... There is a relationship in the house ,I'm not sure of romance, you can't be on a relationship on the outside and say you have a thing here, it doesn't work that way.

Miracle.... What I feel for Nina is genuine...ahneeka is a man in a woman's body.

Tobi.... Miracle and Nina are a genuine couple.

Ahneeka..... Despite its toxicity, ceebi is a real ... I just hope they don't kill each other first.

Angel.... Mina is a genuine couple, looking at the first week Nina and what she's become now, you can tell how much of a good job miracle has done on her. Cee cee and Tobi might have been a thing, but that went south fast, she tried to make him what he wasn't, he got tired and became who he has always been.

Leo......i came into the house not knowing I would like someone this much, Alex is a real friend ,though I have feelings for someone else.

Nina.... I like a miracle a lot and I think he likes me too.

Teddy A.... Bam bam and I are having fun, we genuinely enjoy each others company, I hope I still have a girlfriend outside the house , do I ?

Cee cee.....there is no real relationship in this house ,sometimes you see Two people and you are like this people genuinely care for each other, but when you hear what they say about one another behind their backs, you start to wonder if any of it is real.

Both he and cee cee are childish.
Though Tobi is better because he has a good heart, cee cee is a witch, never happy, always nagging, constantly contradicting herself, now she's become a joke.

When the houseboy Rico starts making fun of you, then you're done for grin

To think a few weeks ago everyone in the house was afraid of cee cee, now she's getting belittled even more than Nina.

Arrogant and condescending.
As if he is helping Nina do a personal project and not as if it is something he needs to do that will not only benefit him but the whole house. That's why it's team work. They look for what's best for them to do as a team not for him to do what's easier for him.
He is acting as if he deserves points for actually acting as a teammate when that's what he is supposed to do.
No wonder his stans were deluded and said that he brought out the best in Nina when their fave thinks like this.
He also said Anto would leave lolu for either a miracle or a Tobi if they as much as showed interest.
And cee cee was throwing herself at ricco.
The session was horrible ,I only toned it down. Honestly, you could have been watching!

Teddy A's diary session .

He tells biggie he's upset with the payporte arena game........ that the whole house is foolish and stupid. That some fools decided to make camps and home near the mat. That the best way the game would have gone was carrying out all their daily activities, and racing for the mat when the music came on. That he had to do it for his partner Nina.

Big brother asked him what inspired his presentation. He says the presentation was inspired by risk,that as a Yoruba man ,it was challenging taking on the igbo culture. That as an artiste or would have been easier for him to just compose a song and present but he didn't want his partner to be seen as slow.
That left for her, she wouldn't have come up with anything, but taking on her culture made her shine .That the whole presentation was geared to make Nina shine (oh jeez!)

Biggie asks him if he felt he would be here this long?
He says yes and No.
That Nigerians and Africans are funny people, that they might take a look at him, fine, fresh, talented boy and say
Naaaah!
That people think he's a snub because he doesn't mingle much but it is all good since people are getting to know him better.
Yes because as he told biggie earlier, that he's a very strong player in the game, that some people want him out of the house but he's not going anywhere.

Biggie asks him which relationships he thinks is genuine in the house.
He says he and bam bam.
That from the beginning he was honest with her, that he told her he has a girlfriend (if he still does)
That then shit happened, that now they understand each other and are having fun.
He mentioned TOLEX too, that he doesn't know what's going on between them but he feels there is a genuine friendship there.
He says Tobi did the wrong thing by putting cee cee up, that a man should never put his woman up.
That Tobi is the kind of guy that would stab you in the back for 45 million naira, that cee cee probably fell for his ambition, now he's cutting her with the edge of it.

Biggie tells him his diary session is at an end, he protests feebly, telling biggie he still had a lot to say, biggie tells him that there will still be plenty time for them to catch up.

Ignore all typos.

Nina's diary session.

Puffy eyed Nina tells Big brother she's not doing fine, that she feels she can't get anything right. Big brother tells her that people have also been failing the tasks too, and that shouldn't make her feel bad.
Nina said she had the worst week of her life with the Pepsi competition, that people were being violent and she had to wake up in the night to dance...she breaks out into fresh tears.

Biggie tells her that this was a start in her life for something better. That the five weeks she's been in this house is a start for something new. That in the house she would win some and lose some. But the thing that mattered was what she will take from here to the outside world.

Biggie asks her about romance in the house, she says she likes miracle a lot and thinks he likes her too, she also said Alex likes Leo alot but she's not sure it is mutual. She says she's taking her friendship with miracle outside the house, that they won't stop being friends anytime soon.

She's trying to break down again, and biggie tells her to compose herself and look at the brighter side. That she should picture the best memory she's had in the house since the she's been there and find a genuine reason to smile.


This is too emotional, I can't even type anymore.
