If you think that a commercial model, entrepreneur, and vibrant personality outside the house like Victoria is mostly aloof because she lacks energy or interest, you're in for a surprise. Her quietness has generated more discussion than some of the housemates who are constantly active. This reserved approach is strategic, and so far, it's working in her favor. I really admire Victoria.

You are really something else...for a lawyer ...the way you display emotions when it comes to debates or discussions is questionable.

U just jumped on someone's mention and berated chinwe while uplifting Anita.. ...then we reply and tell u the Anita u want to use as yardstick no reach sef cos there are prettier faces in there...u begin cry.....

When will u start display maturity in your conversations?...u seem to think u have the autonomy of sharing opinion about housemates and no one must offer differing opinion...what sort of delusion is that..?

Stylishly trying to manipulate people to never counter yr opinion by labelling them to be after u...who exactly r you? As in....a faceless person we don't know nor interested in knowing beyond this forum?

Very laughable.....

It is a waste of time going back and forth with that moniker. This is someone who called the average-looking, sometimes immature, and charisma-lacking Mbadiwe twins the most "Alpha" to have graced the show—individuals who should never be mentioned in the same sentence as "Alpha." When you disagree with the moniker, she resorts to reverse psychology so that her biased updates remain unchallenged.

It is what it is.

The failure of successive governments in Nigeria has made me no longer aggressively criticize government policies and programs. Jonathan was bad, Buhari was worse, and Tinubu is the worst. I'm afraid we'll have to create a new word to describe the uselessness of the next administration, regardless of who or where the person is from. I must be frank: the Bretton Wood merchants are the most slippery, cunny and wicked people on the face of the planet. They sponsor academia to propound theories taught in Ivy League universities. We send our best minds to these universities to learn about theories that keep us in perpetual subterfuge. You wonder why our finest brains like Adewumi Adesina, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and others are proponents of subsidy removal and flexible exchange rate system? There's no developed economy in the world today that does not operate a subsidy system.

In the US, there are agricultural subsidies in the form of direct payments to the farmers and crop insurance. They have fossil fuel subsidies. In the UK, there are BPS and RHI subsidies. China even has export subsidies. But in Africa, they tell us subsidies do not encourage economic growth, hinders FDI, and make citizens lazy.

They sold globalization to us, killed our local economy through it, and now that globalization is not favouring their dealings with Asian countries like China and India, they're turning to protectionism. Nigeria and by extension, Africa must learn to start protecting her own. Impose 1000% VAT on imported electronics to encourage local patronage. For the next ten years, no car should be imported to Nigeria except tractors for farming purposes and military-required vehicles. Close borders to all imported foods; let us die if we cannot produce what we eat. No clothing materials should be imported; we have cotton in abundance to make different quality denim products. Recruit 10 million youths into the military on a 5-year contract to flush out the remnants of Boko Haram in our bushes. Then, use the sixth year to teach them a trade or craft. After they complete the contract, give each of them 10 million Naira in the form of goods, machines, and logistics to start a life. We are in dire times; we must be innovative and radical in our approach.

Oshokhai69:
She’s going with that plan because her husband asked her to. Not because she wants to. She’s scared of that guy.

You have provided two justifications for why the nut is difficult for Toby to crack, and it is not because Toby is bad at playing the game

Oshokhai69:
It’s not societal anything. She’s 100 percent loyal to her husband. I have seen her run to her husband twice to ask him if he’s angry that she’s talking to Tobi and that it looks like he’s angry. She was so scared. Doesn’t that tell you something?

What's the difference between six and half a dozen?

Kassia's reluctance to enter a romantic relationship with Toby isn't due to Toby's game, but rather because she needs to be cautious about her marriage and societal opinions. The situation is complicated by her husband's presence, which constantly reminds her of her life outside the Big Brother house.

Even if Toby were replaced with TeddyA, Kiddwaya, or Sheggz, the outcome would be the same. For Toby to make any progress, her husband would need to leave first. His presence keeps her in check.

MamBi:
The twins, Wanni and Handi, hmmmmmmmmmmm

front, back, side, everything just set and wiggling just right as nature intended……

Mama twins, you popped these ones out just right…

They're the reason for this season.

Crazy and real.

bentenny:
It does!
Okay check the purchasing power of an average citizen 10 years ago....how much was DStv sub?
Like I said before,Nigerians are currently thinking of survival first before entertainment!
Okay tell me who will put on deir generator to watch bbn wen fuel is 900-1200?
If the economy doesn't improve and the purchasing power reduces,expect less subscription!
It's not the fault of Bbnaija....with the hyperinflation in food prices,I wasn't even expecting them to air the show this year!

I understand your point, and I’m not focusing solely on this year. As I mentioned earlier, the decline began some years ago. While the poor economy has significantly affected viewership this year, what can explain the reduction in viewership and participation in previous years? The emphasis is on the overall downward trend, not just an isolated incident of this year.

bentenny:
Harsh reality in the country is forcing fans to think of survival first!
Besides you need to survive before thinking of entertainment!
Not everyone has the funds to sub esp when you need food to survive this renewed shege!
No matter what the organisers do,same thing will happen until the economy of the country gets better!

Well, I acknowledge the impact of the struggling economy, driven by the twin challenges of subsidy removal and currency floating in an import-dependent economy. I understand how these issues are affecting people's finances and mental health. However, if you take a holistic view of the downward trend, you'll see that it has little to do with the current state of the economy. The apathy actually began three seasons ago, possibly due to viewer fatigue, a lack of interest, or a lack of fresh ideas from the organizers.

scondy:
Exactly...we ve not even seen any round of voting

I don't know what the results will look like tomorrow, but I must be honest: I am not impressed by the duo thus far. In my mind, I think they have potential, but reality has been somewhat contrary. For social butterflies who make a living from social engagements, making major impressions and establishing a presence in an important show where so much is at stake shouldn't be rocket science.

That's why I like the Wanni and Handi combo. They're my favorite so far.

The progressive decline in viewers' interest and participation in BBNaija would make an excellent project topic.

When BBNaija first launched, it drew a large audience due to its novelty. The promise of exciting moments attracted many viewers.

Over time, as the format and content became maybe familiar, the initial excitement just wore off. Interest plateaued, unfortunately, recent seasons have not significantly attracted more viewers, despite claims to the contrary by MultiChoice though.

Now, many former BBNaija fanatics are essentially boycotting the show. It's quite shocking!

I struggle to keep up with the show myself. The organizers need to reinvent it.

Back to the dancefloor

safarigirl:
This entire thing is called "Projection"

You have projected your thoughts of me, or of that couple on me.

All this, is your personal headache and I didn't bother reading past that first line because I knew the rest of it would just be you, projecting your thoughts on me. The same way you forced "ordinary" inside my Tiktok influencer and made a whole issue out of it.


It's like you like to make issues out of my opinions. I wish you a very good season of dying in my mentions. Glad to have given you a purpose on this thread. Enjoy.

I read all the comments on the thread, and yours stands out as the most biased with an intent to mislead. You intentionally magnify the smallest flaws, create a narrative, and start repeating it. The problem with repeated lies is that they start to sound true. You don't dictate how you should be quoted here; the best you can do is ignore my mentions. However, as long as you continue with your selective honesty, expect a rebuttal.

NB: Reverse psychology doesn't work on me. Save yourself the stress of parroting that overused line.

safarigirl:
What I have against that ship is the genotype thing.

And I always come down hard on couples like that, I don't care what their future plans are. I always have it in mind that in Nigeria, most people date to marry, no matter how much some people want to cruise.

Something that is very important to me and has impeded the lives of too many people, is not something I can just see and roll with.

Like I said, it is good for y'all that like it, but not for me.

Your issue with the relationship is unrelated to genotype. Do people date in the Big Brother house with marriage as their primary intent? Why does something integral to the game bother you so much that you dislike what makes two adults happy? Can you be more concerned about their lives, safety, and joy than they are? You know why you're doing it. While it is not advisable for individuals with genotype "AS" to marry due to the potential risks, modern advancements in medicine and technology are greatly helping with such issues. My friend knew from the start that he was "AS" and still chose to marry an AS woman. It was a mutual understanding. With NIPT or CVS, they can prevent bringing an "SS" baby into the world.

safarigirl:
Sorry that you picked on ordinary

I use words as I dey feel am in the moment. It is not that deep for me. Na the person I dey attack, on a different day, I will still hype Tiktok Influencer.

I don tire abeg.

Now that you have gotten the message, we can close this chapter.

safarigirl:
LOL. Being honest about what? I called someone a Tiktok Influencer and you're asking me to be honest, about what exactly? Is he not a Tiktok Influencer?

Abeg, you people should not stress me this season again with talk like this. Even when people are making jokes, you people will be trying to police the joke so it can be to your taste.

It's not that deep and you're making it deep. Congratulations to him and his craft, it is still not the kind of person someone like Kassia will leave her husband for. That is the entire point here. Trying to make it anymore is unnecessary.

Una go make person dey write thesis for this thread because they hit a nerve.

The qualifying adjective "ordinary" you used earlier is where the deliberate misrepresentation and dishonesty lie.

I never said or implied that you shouldn't make jokes; I only challenged a skewed narrative. No one is policing you; this is a thread for deliberations. Stop the reverse psychology.

It's not that deep from my end, perhaps only from yours. I don't care about Toby; I'm engaging you because of your disrespect for other people's professions.

safarigirl:
Congratulations to them. Nothing wey anybody dey do wey easy for this life, even to come for BBN, na hardwork dey involved.

I go still use Tiktok Influencer, because I came here to catch cruise, not to be politically correct. God bless.

What is Big Brother stanship without cruise? You can enjoy yourself while still being honest. You don't have to be politically correct to be fair in your assessment, recognize craft, and give credit where it's due.

Let me correct an impression raised earlier: a "TikTok Influencer" is never ordinary, especially in the context of influence and money. It takes a lot of hard work, perseverance, and resources to build a following. When you reach the stage where you can truly influence others (celebrity influencer), you become financially liberated. People on this thread who have contracted these influencers for projects can attest to how financially demanding it is to bring them on board. You may disagree with his approach or his situation ship with the married lad, but it's unfair to downplay a lucrative venture to drive any narrative.

Payporte01:
Tobi forge guy just dey labour in vain

I like their angle to the social experiment happening in Biggy's house. I'm curious to see how long she'll hold on and, more importantly, how she'll steer a situation where Toby is her only potential means of staying afloat. It will be a test of loyalty in the face of money, influence, and power.

PrincessEstates:
Hmmmmn, Ike’s style of leadership na WAR🔥🔥
He was almost too hot for Biggie’s House.
And the funniest part, you no fit hate am😃

Be careful what you wish for, cos you might get it😅

This is my bbn wish.

I'm a "chaos enthusiast"

Lol.

JUDGEJUDITH:
I don't Stan men that are uncompetitive!
The male housemates no try today, probably they thought no eviction as per first week😏

Kiddwaya wasn't competitive, and the same goes for Boma. The only person I know to be competitive in your group of favorites is Adelulu

A structured house with a calm and composed Head of House (HoH) will lead to boredom for viewers. The unpredictability that builds up from daily activities like cooking and cleaning is understandably a compelling part of the show. A chaotic leadership style orchestrated by Ike should be the minimum acceptable standard. Anything less should result in the responsible team being completely rejected and voted out of the house.

However, I understand that we are all different and unique in our own ways. Variety is the spice of life.

Another political maneuver is in play, and Doherty will become a significant figure within the party, strategizing and working towards a predictable outcome.

Politics is indeed interesting.

lumens:
Indomie advert full of old people.

God forbid

Stop exhibiting ageism.

Instead of bearing testament to your name across boards, you've instead elected to do otherwise.

I obviously made some mistakes in my post. I'll modify to reflect the corrections.

1. Tjay & Ben (Beta Friends)- These guys are from Delta State, probably part of the Urhobo or other local ethnic groups.

2. Anita & Nelly (Nelita Friends) - Repping the southeastern region, they proudly belong to the Igbo ethnicity.

3. Ozee & Ocee (Mbadiwe Twins)- Also hailing from Imo State, they’re part of the Igbo crew.

4. Dj Flow & Ruthee (Floruish Friends) - With roots in Edo State, they’re likely members of the Edo ethnic group.

5. Chinne & Nne (Ndi Nne Aunt and Niece) - These two are likely from Anambra State, also representing the Igbo ethnicity.

6. Topher & Sooj (Aces Friends) - From Lagos State, they’re part of the Yoruba community.

7. Victoria & Shaun (Shatoria Friends) - They come from Cross River State, which probably makes them part of the Efik or Ibibio groups.

8. Wanni & Handi (Wanni X Handi Siblings) - These siblings are from Akwa Ibom, likely representing either the Ibibio or Annang ethnic groups.

9. Toyosi & Damilola (Tami Friends) - Also from Lagos, they reflect the vibrant Yoruba culture.

10. Mayor Frosh & Tobi Forge (Streeze Friends) - Yet another pair from Lagos, they’re firmly in the Yoruba camp.

11. Kassia & KellyRay (Double Kay Couples) - Representing the Hausa-Fulani, these two are from Northern Nigeria.

12. Chizoba & Onyeka (Chekas Siblings) - These siblings are also Igbo, coming from the southeastern region.

MamBi:
But I am not understanding the “Besties” tag these couple are giving themselves..

Or they don’t want to say they are married so the other housemates don’t ignore them when it comes to fun and games?

Their decision to stick to the strategy is the best choice, at least for this game. As you correctly stated, it will impact their gameplay, friendships, and the network they're positioned to build in the house.

Mayowa don bring 2go username come bbn

The guy is a rizzler, good with romantic lines and makes wooing stress less. I have watched few of his videos, you may want to check him out on Instagram. His calm demeanor when he was on stage was steeze on steroid

Interesting

You're doing a negative PR for Obi and I detest when people who should be apostles of truth are so reckless with lies and negativity. We need superior logic rooted in truth and facts to dislodge Emilokan not this pedestrian skewed narrative and cheap lies.

PO is possible!

SIRTee15:
Its actually not Tesla's fault. BYD and other Chinese electric car manufacturers are really giving him a serious run for his money.
Those car companies in china are producing electric cars at a rate that outpace total global demand of electric cars. They plan to flood the world with cheap electric cars by making sure supply outstrip demand, and on the long term run others like Tesla out of the market.

Tesla also has to follow similar plan by producing far beyond the demand for his cars and hopefully reduce the price. Otherwise Tesla will become history like Nokia or Motorola.

I'm surprised to learn that Tesla has thousands of unsold cars sitting in warehouses while the typical wait time for a Tesla order averages around six months. Some resellers buy these cars to cater to customers who can't wait that long.

Anyway, President Biden recently increased taxes on Chinese electric cars and semiconductors to safeguard American companies like Tesla. This move aims to support American dominance in the global electric car market, where the U.S. accounts for 50% of all purchases.

Peter Obi is playing his game very well this time around, bridging the gaps and solidifying his base without necessarily heating up the polity against the present administration. Your new method might just be the trick to get you to the villa.

I am gradually becoming a fan.

Obi for president
