Land cant be a problem for you if you want to farm. You can use your husband's land or any vacant land but you will pay isakole. You can make palm oil too as it was women's job after men do the harvesting. Trading was almost totally a women's affair and they controlled the markets. Many women got rich through trading. Madam Tinubu had over 2000 people in her household. Efunsetan Aniwura used to send ships to Brazil

You get time

Well said brother.. This reminds me of when Michelle of the defunct Destiny Child featured both Beyonce and Kelly who were both doing better than her after the group splitted up.. She crossed into the gospel genre while the duo maintained their secular lane.

Instead of being bitter or jealous like you said, she leveraged on their popularity and featured them in her gospel song, "Say yes." That has been her most successful song till date.

It turns out Blackface is a very poor businessman at the end of the day.. Because if he is, there is a way your business IQ will make you put your emotions or silly feelings aside and take the best decisions that will take your career to the next level even if it means collaborating with your "enemy."

They weren't doing better than het she branched into cosmetics (beauty) business and she has her cosmetics line and franchises and she is very successful in it not everyone would sing forever

I know I'm not the only one that finds it a little weird when Imisi breaks character and uses vocabulary you would associate more with someone like Gigi.

I'm in Lagos and i know ordinary Ebute-Metta girls or even many campus girls don't use words & sayings like:-

-"There's beauty in silence"

-"Improvise"

-"Transferred aggression"

What kind of ghetto Yoruba girl knows the lyrics of songs like Dido's "White Flag"?

She doesn't even flinch when she hears certain monetary sums being mentioned by other housemates. When Mensan said his carved staff costs 95k, she just answered "pere?"

She was almost offended when Thelma said she looked like who would do lipo & fat transfer after the show. Imisi just said she could have done that way before the house if she wanted as such procedures could be had for "just" 2-5m Naira!

Most of the housemates now know she's acting, what they now want to see is how long she can stay in character. It's too late though, she even has the largest team online media influencers that kick-started a bandwagon from Wk 1, and all things being equal, viewers are already convinced she'll win the show.

I don't like her style,but i admire the work & dedication she put into her game plan. Afterall, except for Kuture who might not be able to afford & Mide, virtually all the housemates came prepared with media teams and game plans or heavy pockets for voting. Even Tracy's team managed to trend her on Twitter! So may the best gamer win!

She once mistakenly hinted to Kaybobo that she's deep in character.

She is friendly with Isabella, Dede, & Mensan, but when she's with Kola, she breaks character almost 100%. Maybe it's because he has a way of bringing out her inner child the way guys do with their sisters.

Doris is really mean for saying Kola is only close to her because of food. How can someone so small in stature be filled with such explosive bitterness? She already has Denari, why's she still on Kola's case?

Gentlefury??

Joanna

*Biggie:* How are you?
*Joanna:* This week has been a lot for me. Victory left without me talking to him and I felt so bad, I mourned for a few minutes but then soldiered up. But Monday I had a mental breakdown, I had to speak to myself to get out of it. Now i'm losing tasks back to back despite bringing my A game, the housemates aren't making it easy for me asking me how many wins, then I lost munch it & that was bad. I don't care if I have one win, I know i'm doing well. Then Sunday night, Mensan broke plate in front of me, and I had a scratch on my swollen ankle, I have a scar from my right leg that gives me PTSD, it has a surface healing not an internal healing meaning the tissues are tender, I have acrylic use of my legs but Mensan almost made mess of that at the party, he's very scattered when he dances, he also poured me drink accidentally, for Sunday the pieces of the plates were all over my legs, the pieces went straight to my leg, I had to warn him, if I didn't approach him he won't apologize? That was his 3rd strike but we're good now, it's been a lot, now I miss my friend Victory, but i'm good now, Mensan doesn't have social etiquettes when dancing in the club, but it's all good

*Biggie:* How many wins do you have?
*Joanna:* Xtract, HFM & Guinness (black shines brightest)

*Biggie:* Just like you
*Joanna:* yes biggie

*Biggie:* Have you had a long day?
*Joanna:* Yes with the MJ dance it's been a lot, I waa in the bathroom when the announcement came in, but I respected MJ, we'll do justice to him

*Biggie:* Describe the house in one word
*Joanna:* Gbas gbos, this house has been a lot, I thought I knew the housemates

*Biggie:* Be more specific
*Joanna:* There's Thelma & Rooboy, I like to hear both sides of the story. 1st week something happened with my clothes, Thelma & Otega were there, Thelma was rude to me because she thought my clothes were occupying space, it was so weird, there were lots of spaces, i'm surprised she waa complaining, I found it weird, it was unhealthy, after we spoke about it we've been cordial. It was very bad for Thelma to tell Rooboy he isn't good with his job. I thought I knew Thelma, but she can be condescending, it's not necessary. I & Faith were in the kitchen preparing food yesterday, others brought their ingredients for the rice I was making, I was surprised they were hiding rice, we all won wager, now there's no rice because biggie bought rice, Kaybobo said he kept the rice in Thelma's box but I didn't see the need, Thelma then walked in to confront me, but I told her Kaybobo kept it in her box, then she tried to accuse me over tomatoes but I defended myself, why will she complain when I made the rice with my own ingredients, now she wanted out of the rice, she tried to put words into my mouth & I clarified the situation, emphasizing it's Kaybobo who told me, we have had important conversations about life, been in same spaces together, now I don't understand her, why will she say I accused her of taking rice when I said it's Kaybobo who put it in her box. This house is a lot, I just like scenarios where I can be happy. Rooboy is my friend so I get where he's coming from, he saved all of us from eviction, imagine people are still mad, you can have opinions but not when it infringes on others. Now these housemates have made us lose part of the price money. I'm getting to know people, i'm making progress, getting to know Zita, we made noodles together, she asked if i'm resenting but i'm not like that, see now i'm cool with Mensan & at least cordial with Ivatar. I still miss Victory

*Biggie:* Who did you nominate & why?
*Joanna:* Tracy & Kaybobo, I don't understand them, Tracy is very inquisitive & curious, Kaybobo can be a lot

*Biggie:* Did it have anything to do with where he kept the rice?
*Joanna:* No biggie, but why will he hide the rice? It's just rice, but it's not the major reason. It's giving kitchen perfect, I didn't wanna make an issue out of it

*Biggie:* Thoughts on the theme of the week
*Joanna:* It's exciting, it helps us face our fears. One of my major fears is poverty. Jason & Rooboy are teaching me out to swim but he isn't patient with me, so I'm facing my fears. Your activities this week have been fun, I like that we're putting into a play, I really wanna win the wager but you need to scare us more

*Biggie:* Your little t fears
*Joanna:* Poverty & swimming, I also get scared by elevators sometimes & clowny faces like the joker face

*Biggie:* To learn to swim, you must learn to relax, do you understand
*Joanna:* yes biggie, i'll challenge myself, now I can play snooker, if I can do that, i'll learn how to swim. I'll relax & face my fears

*Biggie:* If only victory was here to teach you
*Joanna:* (😂😂😂)

*Biggie:* Anything else?
*Joanna:* My ankle still hurts,o have Internal pain, inside my tissue hurts, the rub is doing perfect but I need more

*Biggie:* We're done here, enjoy the rest of your day
*Joanna:* You too biggie

Gbamest kaybobo kitchen prefect that's what the viewers have been calling him too

Nkl4u:
I think Jason jae’s girlfriend outside is temi kosoko, jide kosoko’s daughter allegedly

it may be because Bidemi kosoko(temi's elder sister)campaigns vigorously for him on her Instagram page

FameGlory:
Next time calculate how much you bought a cup of rice in that plate.

Don't take rice you bought weeks back and kept in ur kitchen and cook without adding the price.

Same with Maggie and other stew with soup ingredients you have in ur kitchen storage.

Okay.

and you believe this shit? even during onasanjos time 600h can't be used to cook that in another post of hers she said she used 5000 to cook it

tioluwalasee:
Nope. I’ve watched this thing from week 1. Initially Imisi liked him and was playfully exaggerating her feelings for him (“hug me or I won’t tell you where your paper is”). It was mostly play but she liked him, Faith started turning her down and she’d still flirt with him because that was their dynamic.

Faith started becoming more and more cruel with his rejection and started talking to her as if she was an idiot, especially that night he was looking for his paper. Imisi noticed this and backed off but she still thought they were friends just that she’s trying not to annoy him too much. Then that night that they fought in the kitchen that’s when she realized that the guy is not a nice person.

Faith now came privately later at night after disrespecting her in public and asked her to squash the beef (probably so she’ll stop stealing his things) but even the apology was rude (he said “we don’t have to talk in fact I would prefer if we don’t talk at all”) and Imisi wisely just ignored him. He now came the next day and broke her eggs and kept insulting her to Kola as Kola was helping her clean up.

I’m not saying Imisi is blameless here oh but Faith has been very cruel to her and she’s right to dislike him. As soon as he categorised her as an idiot in his head, she has been less than nothing to him.

.

Dr faith matter go kpai you last last anything faith you must rear your ugly head as if imisi is a saint what has imisi brought to the table except for removing her wig on the first day to clinch the prize? intelligence-zero, entertainment -zero,task and wagers solving and winning -zero, housemates relations-zero always poking her fellow housemates then claiming victims.

not a fan of any housemate there but I have been observing you on this thread seems you detest anyone who is a genius no wonder imisi is your fave

LordTheus:
You said my point has "no gel," but you took the time to try and scrape it off your shoe. Obviously it stuck with you.

Jokes aside, my initial point was never about how significant my sole vote was, but about the collective power of the audience's choice. In shows like BBNaija, the housemates' "performance" or "personality" is simply the catalyst. Their actions are merely content for the true deciders -- the viewers. A housemate's role is to provide the narrative, but it's the audience's subjective preferences, their collective likes and dislikes, loyalty, support etc that ultimately determine the winner. The housemate doesn't win because they are "the best". They win because they are the one most people were motivated to vote for, for whatever reasons those voters may have.

I never needed my vote to matter to Laycon or the other housemates, or to the general public. It was a personal choice, informed by my personal reasons. You seem to think every individual action MUST have a grand, public consequence for it to be valid.

You get time to dey reply obstinate people sha

davodyguy:
No one nominated Mensah

He has automatic immunity for being the most influential house mate

sthecy:
Mumu boy
I knew you were going to call Imisi and Isabella

So imisi didn't nominate him too?

renderme:
Omo!
So this was how Mide and Dede became friends. She even told Mide they must not fight over man. No wonder she always disappears herself whenever bright shows up to talk to mide. She didn't want dt narrative at all. Just the 'desired' narrative.

Mehn, some people came prepared for big brother o.

Wow!! Everyone is a pawn at this point. Mide na the first pawn sef. Lmao!

Video:

The gist was hotter than fire today.🔥 Mide dropped a bombshell about her friendship with Dede, saying Dede was the one who initiated it and she didn’t stop there! It was bombshell after bombshell! 💣 #BBNaija pic.twitter.com/zdFM2MeKSN

The dede is a very selfish person she no send anybody there she is only for herself and nobody didn't you know this before? though her head is in the game sha

fitzmayowa:
The guy is not playing the script with his full chest, as he is scared of his pond owner.......

I never see his kind before you don't value somebody yet you don't want her to be with another guy?

carammel:
Jason will not let Sultana go and at the same time want someone else, spend time with Sultana, crawl back to Dede to be scolded like a child.
Pick a struggle oga

In yoruba we call it"won ni koje o ni eegun ni won ni ki o ju danu o ni eran die wa n be' it's the mumu sultana that can't flip on him nah imagine simping for a Dede who doesn't even rate him?

Hope biggy isn't hoping to do top 10 till finale this season?why is this house still filled up this week?

Nkl4u:
Ivatar next Sunday won’t pass you by

what if she wins head of house?I no trust this voting process again self if not whyis biggy evicting the entertainers?

Beninwitch:
Big brother has used his hand to spoil this show! Gigi Jasmine evicted. Who is voting Ivatar for goodness sake? I need her juju

Gigi jasmine and ivata are in the same watsapp group now always whining about man and man centered

sthecy:
Werey victory 🤣🤣🤣

How did he bleep up? did he promise gigi marriage or a guy can't have taste again?and gigi,ivatar ad Tracy are still in that house? those borites later the viewers will complain of boring show

aribisala0:
Some things are irrelevant
Whether Old Ife kings were called Ooni or not is not relevant and you simply have no way of knowing that because you were not there

That is just a diversionary argument

Lagos was not always called Lagos so what?

Throwing in random unverifiable claims does not advance the argument
Claiming odu ifa is another unnecessary diversionary device
Are you a babalawo? Let us not get into all of that

The issues are simple
Today there is no basis for anyone to claim he is paramount king in Yoruba land .
There is nothing like Yorubaland. We can maybe talk of Yoruba land but not Yorubaland. So I agree that Ooni should not make such titles but NO ONE SHOULD. NOT OONI NOT ALAAFIN

Ooni of Ife is just like maybe the Pope

Elegushi and Oba of Lagos are more relevant than. Alaafin

Do I need to be a babalawo to know the odu?I am a traditionalist also studied ifa corpus in linguistic(Yoruba as a course) part time I am surprised you would claim to be an isese adherent don't know this

zero8zero:
You have not backed it up with the century the priest took over as king. From observation, the throne returned to the lineage of Oduduwa, if anything, Oranmiyan return automatically returned it back to Oduduwa's lineage. Is there any successor after Oranmiyan that was not from the lineage?. I'm just observing and reading comments.

didn't know the century as the odu didn't state it though

Adexxi:
Olofin Adimula was later changed to Ooni and ife still call ooni as Olofin Adimula. Even your Alaafin was called Oloyo from outset, it was Atiba that changed it to Alaafin after Ogbomosho gave him that small land to occupy because Oyo ile was ransacked by the Fulanis

my alaafin as how?I am not even from oyo I am from ekiti state

aribisala0:
Titled ? What does that mean?
I am not expressing an opinion on who is greater but the quality of your logic and thinking

Anyone can be greater than another based on current reality not lineage
Not all kings are from Oduduwa e.g Ijebus are not

President Trump is greater than the King of England or Prime Minister of Britain
The USA used to be a colony of Britain

Last week he summoned all the important European leaders to his office


He is the CURRENT CHAMPION
Britain is the FORMER CHAMPION
Today Olubadan is greater than Alaafin
Today the Elegushi is more relevant than Alaafin
The Oba of Lagos is more relevant
No one in Lagos State even thinks about Alaafin
If Alaafin vex with anyone outside Oyo what can he do even in Ibadan is he relevant

Alaafin is a FORMER CHAMPION

Usurping is the nature of monarchy
God did not appoint anyone king
Yes Oduduwa came from God knows where. All of that is history
THE TRUTH
OYO EMPIRE DIED a long time ago
OONI has spiritual relevance maybe like the Pope but has no political authority over anyone
All kingdoms are equal Ijebu,Egba Lagos,Egba, Ekiti Ondo

Old ife kings weren't adressed as ooni rather it was olofin and oduduwa was the first olofin in ife(olofin akoko)that's what odi meji an odu ifa implied
I am not even from Oyo or just reiterating what I saw in odu ifa

Ehn, from people dt drag my fave every single day for no reason. I no even hate Una fave the way Una hate mine.

Now they are dragging her AGAIN say she no support Dede for fight. Say she should have done more. But we no suppose ‘inherit our enemies’ nau.

*sipszobo*

Dede's fan are delusional sha so they expected mide to buy dede's fight? wasn't dede friending and being cozy with zita and the other person mide had altercations with to them dede couldn't inherit mides enemy now

No one came with anybody to that house sha every to his/her own dede's fan are as disloyal and self centered like their faves
