  • 5 BBNaija Shine Ya Eye Housemates That Got Evicted Too Early

    5 BBNaija Shine Ya Eye Housemates That Got Evicted Too Early

    As the show grinds to an end, we couldn’t help but reminisce on some of the housemates we met earlier in the show. Perhaps if they were still in the house we may have gotten a little more spice.

    Here’s a list of 5 evicted housemates that definitely left the show too early.

    1. Arin

    For the first time on the show, we got to see a feminist who proudly wore the tag and went on a crusade to re-orientate as many other housemates as possible on Feminism. Arin didn’t stay too long in the house but before she left she built beautiful connections with other housemates like Angel, Nini, and Cross. She also established herself as an unshakeable girl’s girl and the resident therapist. Her no-nonsense approach to patriarchy and misogyny was definitely a vibe the show needed.

    2. Beatrice

    Beatrice may have been slow in unveiling her personality but the sneak peek she gave us before she got evicted shows that we would have been in for some multi-dimensional drama. Remember the kiss she had with Pere and how worked up it got Maria? Let’s also not forget the fight she had with Liquorose. Beatrice had spice to give, the viewers were just not patient enough.

    3. JMK

    If JMK was still in the house 2 plot twists are for sure; she would have given Queen and Jackie B a proper run for Whitemoney’s attention. Whitemoney would have probably leaped into a ship with her because if we remember correctly (and we do) he was quite persuasive in the friends with benefit discussion he had with her. But you people got her evicted with your pauper votes and now Mazi has missed out on the possible love of his life. We would have seen the coolest sismance between her and Angel.

    4. Maria

    Maria may have gotten on our collective nerves but there’s no denying that she brought a fire to the show that was visibly absent after she left. Her love/hate thing with Pere was an entire storyline on its own. She got Pere so deep in his feelings that after she left, the general made it a point to talk about her at least 9 times every day. And we got less drama, fewer fights, and more kumbaya sessions. But we don’t watch BBNaija for love and light, do we?

    5. Honourable mention; Yerins

    Imagine Yerins and Pere in a fight. All that comes up are scenes where Yerins uses his polymath brain to hypnotize Pere’s military brain and Whitemoney comes to settle the issue and gets hypnotized too. Mad stuff! But now we’ll never know because the resident polymath got evicted too soon.

    Which other of the evicted housemates do you think would have brought more spice to the show? Tell us in the comments.

  • 5 BBNaija Ships That Sailed And Crashed This Season (6)

    5 BBNaija Ships That Sailed And Crashed This Season (6)

    This 2021 BBNaija season, we’ve seen a lot of ships sail and sink in the 8 weeks the show has run for. Some of them seemed like wrong matches from the get-go and we were just waiting for the crash. But others actually held promise so it was sad to see them fail.

    Here’s a list of 5 BBNaija ships that sailed and crashed this year.

    1. Angel and Sammie

    This ship gave a lot of viewers anxiety because they were a terrible match from the start. It was like “Layrica” reincarnated. Angel said time and time again that she liked Sammie as a person but they didn’t connect mentally enough for a relationship. Sammie on the other side wanted her to tone down her personality and be less “flirty” with other male housemates. What eventually broke this camel’s back was the fact that Sammie kept trash talking Angel to other housemates. As predicted, everything came crashing down in a heated shouting match between the two.

    2. Maria and Pere

    This seemed like a recipe for a volcanic eruption from the very start. Funnily enough, of all the housemates they both seemed like the only ones capable of handling each other. And who better to match an overly cocky Pere if not an equally headstrong Maria? However because “cocky and, “headstrong” is not a sustainable match, this romance could not survive the few weeks Maria spent in the house. Rumour has it that the first thing Maria did after she left the house was to block Pere on all platforms. We can’t say we are surprised.

    3. Boma and Queen

    Queen and Boma seemed like a good match at first, she’s hot and he’s tall. But with time Boma started showing the other housemates and viewers his true colours and those colours were not really pretty. Between him constantly chanting his “Okro nation” slogan and his entanglement with Tega, what he had with Queen quickly went to dust.

    4. Crosskay – (Cross and Saskay)

    People liked the idea of a Cross and Saskay match because the narrative of a bad boy being “tamed” by the good girl sounds cute and grand on paper. But it doesn’t always work well in reality and in this case, it did not. Confronted with the options of Cross a bad guy, or Jaypaul, Saskay made her choice and that choice was not Cross.

    5. Honourable mention: Whitemoney and JMK

    zikoko - BBNaija ships

    Our honourable mention is Whitemoney and JMK. For a moment there Whitemoney and JMK were discussing the possibility of a “Friends with Benefits” type of arrangement. But because housemates propose and viewers dispose, we didn’t get to see what became of that conversation. JMK got evicted that week.

  • 5 Things That Spoiled Maria’s BBNaija Game

    5 Things That Spoiled Maria’s BBNaija Game

    The Big Brother Naija game is brutal. Viewers know this, housemates know this too. When we all met Maria BBNaija she seemed to be a force to be reckoned with but somehow she couldn’t make it to the top 5 list. For a lot of people that math didn’t add up. She seemed like the perfect character for a top contender position. It didn’t make sense for her to leave the game before less popular and strong housemates.

    What went wrong? You’re about to find out.

    1. Putting Whitemoney up for eviction

    The first wrong move Maria made was nominating Whitemoney with her exclusive nomination power. This was dicey because Whitemoney had just told her he didn’t tell the other housemates she was a wildcard because he didn’t want her to leave the house. Her nominating him seemed too much like a “repaying evil with a good transaction”. As expected, fans took that personally. That singular act gave Whitemoney’s fan base a huge boost and spiked up his Instagram following to surpass hers.

    2. Her alliance with Pere

    The love/hate thing she had going with Pere didn’t help her game either. Ganging up with him to destabilize Whitemoney’s alleged strategy came off as a witch hunt and viewers were not a fan of that. Especially considering the fact that Whitemoney had only sent good vibes her way.

    3. Her one-sided beef with Angel

    Maria BBNaija - Zikoko

    Maria passionately carried on a one-sided beef with Angel for reasons that are still unclear to viewers. From reporting Angel to Big Brother during her diary sessions to hosting a full-on character assassination podcast against Angel with Peace and Nini during their stay in the executive lounge. This made her come off as a slut-shaming and condescending character. Both of which are attributes viewers are not keen on seeing.

    4. Her beef with Queen

    At first, this didn’t come off as a big deal. Things took an interesting turn when Queen unknowingly formed an allegiance with Whitemoney. This connection spurred Whitemoney’s fans to vote for Queen when both Queen and Maria were up and we know how that plot twist ended.

    5. Her reaction to her nomination

    Maria BBNaija - Zikoko

    To top it all off when Maria realized she was up for eviction she threw one too many tantrums. For someone who herself had enjoyed exclusive nomination powers, it made no sense for her to take her nomination that personally. Especially to the point where she began to spite her alleged bestie Liquorose. Viewers were not a fan of that behaviour either.

    To sum it all up, Maria’s game fumbled because she formed an allegiance with the wrong people and picked too many unnecessary fights with other housemates who themselves are top contenders. Between not being liked by the housemates inside the house and being considered annoying by voters outside the house, she didn’t stand a chance.

  • If The BBNaija HouseMates Were Characters In A Classic Nollywood Movie

    If The BBNaija HouseMates Were Characters In A Classic Nollywood Movie

    What if the BBNaija Shine Ya Eyes Housemates were characters in a classic Nollywood movie? Who would be what? Here you go, we pieced together that puzzle for you.

    1. Maria – The beautiful female antagonist

    Bbnaija

    The female character who is literally on top of the world when the movie starts. She’s rich and is dating the richest guy as well. But she’s spoilt and has way too many enemies because she’s mean and rude to everyone. She’s also the one whose address Karma has a delivery for.

    2. Whitemoney – The male protagonist

    BBNaija

    The heartwarming from “grass to grace story”. The one who the audience roots for and can relate with. He gets his happy ending at the end of the movie and gets the woman of his dreams too.

    3. Pere – The Cunning Villian

    BBNaija

    Chiwetelu Agu ran so Pere can waltz. He’s smart, extremely calculating, and annoyingly cocky. But of course, without him the plot would be one-dimensional and who wants that? By the way, Thanos better watch out, this one is coming for his rings.

    4. Liquorose – The supporting character

    The antagonist’s friend who is actually a good person herself. She gives the best advice but her advice is always ignored of course. And she has enough content surrounding her to get a significant number of scenes but not enough drama to be the main character.

    5. Saga the protagonist’s friend who is in a happy relationship

    The happily married and extremely boring friend. The one who always declines hangout invitations from his friends because he wants to stay home and help his wife loosen her hair.

    6. Nini- Another happily married character

    BBNaija

    The one getting married at the very beginning of the movie. Her relationship is goals for the other female characters and they rely on her to matchmake them with her eligible bachelor friends. They also fight viciously to catch the bouquet at her wedding.

    7. Angel – The girl next door

    BBNaija

    The hot and fun girl next door. All the guys like her and all the girls are threatened by her but her drip remains fresh and unmatched.

    8. Peace- The Female Antagonist’s Side Kick

    The one desperately trying to impress and be friends with the female antagonist. She talks trash about other people too and inherits the female antagonist’s enemies.

    9. Cross – The resident bad boy

    BBNaija

    The one who hosts all the parties and dates all the hot women.

    10. Saskay – The all round good girl

    This is the character who always has her shit together. She has a good job, is in a serious relationship, and just does no wrong.
