In every story there’s a villain and a protagonist. BBNaija didn’t escape having them either.
Take the quiz to find out which villain you are:

If you thought this reunion couldn’t get messier than the fight from Tolanibaj and Vee’s episode, I present to you the focus of last night’s episode: Dorathy’s gluck gluck activity with Brighto AND Praise’s 5-second midnight genital meet & greet with Katrina. Let’s start with the former.
![VIDEO] BBNaija Reunion 2021: 'How I Got Entangled With Brighto'](https://tbzjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dorathy-brighto.jpg)
At the start of this episode, we see that the lineup has been altered a bit. After destroying Tolanibaj in their insult match the previous night, she’s gone and has been replaced by Laycon, and Erica STILL isn’t here. Brighto hasn’t said a word the entire reunion and Lucy is still serving discount dominatrix/old school Nollywood female cultist realness in a black bra, purple mosquito net skirt, and Dark Betty fringe bob wig.
Trickytee starts the episode talking about interactions he observed between other housemates, confirming my theory that he spent his entire time on the show being a supporting character in everyone else’s storylines. Wathoni mumbles something about possibly seeing Dorathy give Brighto a blowjob — a blowjob with an aftermath so messy, Wathoni had to change the sheets. She probably expected Dorathy to be ashamed but was shocked when Dorathy owned it with her entire bossom.
Dorathy goes on to say that she might as well have given Dracula that blowjob because Brighto was cold as hell the next morning. Didn’t even say “good morning” or “thank you for all that good neck you threw last night.” Brighto says that he didn’t have anything to say and insists that he didn’t do anything wrong, making Dorathy reach into her bra and throw money at him for some reason. This made me wonder: Did Dorathy come with money in her bra hoping she’d get a chance to angrily make it rain on someone?
We moved on to the next big issue of the night: Praise and Katrina’s genital bump session in the house.
Katrina says she heard Praise say to someone in the house that he would never have anything to do with her because of his fiancé on the outside. Katrina says she took this as a challenge for some reason and decided to dance on Praise’s disco stick by any means necessary. She claims that she had sex with Praise that night (to prove a point?) but got less than she bargained for when Praise only lasted 5 seconds. She also kept screaming about how it happened in her bed like that’s supposed to change anything.
Here’s the video of Katrina narrating the story in her own words — and accent that sounds like she always has hot yam in her mouth.
The reactions from everyone in the room were meme-worthy. Lucy (the queen of chaos) had to hide her face behind a pillow. Kiddwaya finally took off his winter jacket. Then there was Nengi, who sat terrifyingly still the entire episode and didn’t say a word.
Katrina adds that when Praise was evicted, he called her up, asking for another chance to do a better job in the bedroom. she says that after constant calls from Praise, she hooked up with him again. Just like their first go at it, he lasted only 5 seconds, bringing their total sex time to 10 seconds. Praise tries to defend his honour but does a horrible job at it. Someone drags Lucy into the mix by asking her how she felt about this, seeing as she had already expressed romantic interest in Prince. That’s where the episode ends, and we’re promised even more chaos with a short clip from the next episode.
Now that you’ve gotten to the end of this, take this quiz to find out which of the messy BBNaija Lockdown housemates you are.
RECOMMENDED: Which BBNaija 2020 Housemate Are You?
-
The BBNaija Lockdown Reunion (2020’s edition of Big Brother Naija) show will air on the 17th of June 2021. Keeping with the tradition of the show, the reunion will be hosted by Ebuka Obi Uchendu and will feature some of the BBN: Lockdown housemates talking about memorable moments from their season while also hashing out long-standing beefs.
In celebration of the reunion show, we’ve decided to re-imagine the housemates as Nollywoood characters.
1) Kiddwaya is Jim Iyke
A good-looking, millionaire playboy who is being chased by all the girls? Kiddwaya is the classic Nollywood bad boy i.e Jim Iyke. No doubt about that. He has enough swag to woo even the ladies who swear they’re not interested. Definitely Jim Iyke.
2) Ozo is Tony Umez
Ozo spent his entire time on the show romantically pining for Nengi, who only liked him platonically. Who can forget when Ozo tried to kiss Nengi after he got evicted and she curved him? This led to Ozo being tagged as the lover boy of the season (a.k.a Tony Umez).
3) Lucy is Patience Ozokwor
Lucy spent her time on the show being chaotic as hell. She fought with everyone and destroyed her fellow housemates with her sharp tongue. There’s no doubt that Lucy personifies the wicked aunty stereotype popularised in Nollywood by Patience Ozokwor. Better not cross her path, before you step on something dangerous outside your door.
4) Erica is Genevieve Nnaji
The one and only star girl. Even though her journey on the show was cut short, it’s safe to say that Erica was the true winner of BBN: Lockdown. One year after the show aired, her star is still shinning so bright. Erica is obviously Genevieve Nnaji – beautiful, goal-oriented and winning!
5) Brighto is Chiwetalu Agu
Unlike Lucy, who was very loudly chaotic, Brighto was more lowkey. In between consuming insane amounts of poundo yam, Brighto would go about manipulating people for fun just like Chiwetalu Agu. No old Nollywood movie is ever complete without Chiwetalu Agu low-key knocking people’s heads together while shaking his head in mock-innocence.
6) Nengi is Rita Dominic
Much like Rita Dominic, Nengi is an intensely beautiful, softspoken woman who minds her business and stays as far away from drama as she possibly can while getting the bag. Men chasing her left and right but she remains focused on her goals. There’s no better way to live life tbh.
7) Vee is Ini Edo
Vee is sweet and nice but can totally go crazy when the situation calls for it. She’s classic Ini Edo. Once she narrows her eyes and those nostrils flare up, just know it is over for you, and be prepared to bear the aftermath of your provocation.
8) Laycon is Emeka Ike
Laycon was the one everybody underestimated. They even laughed at him and proclaimed that he wouldn’t go far, but eventually he rose to the top, proving all the haters wrong. This is typical of Emeka Ike characters; some way, somehow, life usually smiles on him and the next thing you know, he’s riding into the village in a big Jeep. Isn’t God good?
9. Dorathy is Mercy Johnson
People initially judge based on her voluptuousness until they realise she is way more than that. Her sweet and lovable nature shines through and you can’t help but form another opinion. Although, she doesn’t mind having it out with you if you accuse her of snatching your man. Totally the Mercy character.
10. Prince is Desmond Elliot
He is not bad-looking, and does everything the perfect husband material would do, but somehow doesn’t get the girl of his dreams. As if that is not enough, people accuse him of causing trouble among the ladies. This life is not even balanced. Desmond Elliot of old definitely deserved better.
The #BBNaijaReunion show premieres tonight and will air from Mondays to Fridays on Africa Magic Urban at 10 pm and Africa Magic Family at 10:30 p.m. The show is available to DStv and GOtv subscribers. To join the conversation, follow the Big Brother Naija social media fan pages on Instagram: @bigbronaija and Facebook: @BigBrotherNaija.

Erica Nlewedim knew she was going to be a star way before her dedicated fanbase, the Elites, coined the moniker, ‘Star girl’. As a child, an only child, Erica spent most of her days alone, imagining and reimagining her future, looking at it through different career lenses — some days, she wanted to be a model, other days an actress, and on others, a singer.
In all her aspirations, one thing was consistent, Erica wanted to be a force worth reckoning with. Fast forward to today, the 26-year-old is one of the most recognisable names in Nigeria — actually Africa — and possibly one of the biggest and most beloved stars to come out of the Big Brother Naija franchise since its inception.
Zikoko: How have you been since you left Big Brother Naija?
Erica: I’ve been good, and I’ve been stressed. Life has been on fast forward — everything has been happening so fast — but I’ve been good.
Before you went on Big Brother, you already had an interesting resume — from beauty queen to actress. Tell me about that.
I’ve always wanted to be successful, and I’ve always wanted to be someone big in the entertainment industry. I even thought I would be a musician. At some point, I went for a pageant and won an award, but it was not the main prize.
So I asked myself, “What comes naturally to you?” I wanted to be a singer, but I was shy and did not want to have to perform. But I could act — I was in a theatre group at my university. So I decided to start telling everyone I met, “I’m an actress” even though I had a 9 to 5 at the time, which I hated. It worked because people started plugging me.
How has your career trajectory been since you left the house?
I went to film school even before Big Brother, but since I came out, I’ve decided I want to be an A-lister. Not just an actress. I want to be the most recognised actress, in the biggest, award-winning movies.
Since Big Brother, I have been in a series. A few days ago, I did the poster shoot for an upcoming movie. I’m travelling to be on the movie set next week. I also have a web series coming soon.
Talk about booked and busy.
Haha, yes.
Who are some of your biggest influences?
Genevieve Nnaji in Nigeria. Charlize Theron, Scarlet Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o and Angelina Jolie, internationally. I love Beyoncé, and I am also a huge Rihanna fan — I wouldn’t be able to choose one. I also love Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, WurlD and Tiwa Savage.
Your taste is premium.
Thank you so much.
What was growing up like for you?
Growing up was kind of lonely for me. I am an only child, so I was always on my own. I was always reading books and novels to entertain myself, and I was always imagining my future. I kept looking forward to growing up and becoming a big star.
Now that your wish has come true and you’re an adult, how do you find adulting?
LOL. Well, adulting is really difficult, but at least, I’m happy. I am doing what I love doing, and I am successful at it.
Speaking of success, how has it been going from an upcoming actress to a famous superstar?
It used to be overwhelming, but I’ve gotten used to it now. At some point, I didn’t understand how popular I’d become. I was still seeing myself as the same old Erica, but now, I’ve had time to get used to it.
What was the moment you realised you were famous?
I think it was when I went to Sierra Leone. I had never seen that kind of crowd before, cheering for me, and in another country. Before I went to Sierra Leone, the biggest crowd I had seen cheering from me was at my Meet and Greet, and I was like, “I truly have people that love me”. But in Sierra Leone, It was the whole city. I was happy and I just kept thanking God.
So what is it like having such dedicated fans?
It makes me feel like I have a family. I’ve always wanted to feel like I have many people who have my back. Growing up I was alone, so it feels good knowing that I have a lot of people who love me.
What’s your favourite social media app?
Instagram. Life is always good on Instagram. Instagram is a feel-good app.
Not Twitter?
Everyone’s always angry on Twitter. On Instagram, everyone’s always ready to compliment you, post pretty pictures, and show the best side of life.
How do you react to negative comments?
I’ve gone through different stages. At first, it didn’t seem real because I never connected to the insults. I felt detached. After a while, the insults started getting to me, and I reacted because I wasn’t happy.
But now? I don’t even look at it. If you insult me, and I don’t see it, how will I know you insulted me?
How has it been navigating the industry as a woman?
Simply put, before Big Brother, it was tough. After Big Brother, it’s been good. Right now, most of the people doing the biggest things are women. People like Mo Abudu and Funke Akindele. It’s women doing great things. So that helps.
You said it was tough before Big Brother, how so?
Most Nigerians won’t watch a movie in the cinema if they don’t see a popular and familiar face. So for me now, before Big Brother, I wouldn’t get my face on a poster, especially only me, because I didn‘t have a fanbase.
Now, I’m popular, in addition to my talent, hard work, time in film school and all. The popularity crowns it all and now, I am getting the kind of roles and productions I’ve always wanted to get.
You’ve been doing a lot for a long time. What keeps your fire burning?
Anyone can die at any time. I never want to look back at my life and feel like I didn’t live my life or be all I could be. I don’t want to have regrets. When I see all these successful, famous, rich people, I look at them and think, are these people better than me? They aren’t. They probably were more hardworking or had more time or more connections. But they aren’t better than me. Anything they do that I admire, I can do it if I put in the work.
Do you have a message for your fans?
Continue to be positive. Ignore the awful people. I want you to know that I was a fan of some people and because of how I admired certain things of those people, I have become someone to look up to.
So I hope I can serve as a good inspiration for someone to become successful, or a star or the best in their field. It is because I saw other people doing things that made me say I can do it too. So I hope I can be that person to my fans.

In a few hours, the BBNaija Season 5: Lockdown Edition will come to an end. But it is impossible to put people together in the same house for 71 days without housemates showing their irrational food habits.
In this list, I curate 5 of the most insane food obsessions from the BBNaija 2020 house:
1. Brighto and Semo
Do you know what it means when someone has to take to twitter to address an issue? And then he ends it with a curse? Yes, Brighto, aka Lord Baelish liked Semo way too much.
Considering that Semo was very angry in the interview we had with it, I think the rat poison, sorry food, will be very happy that it, at least, has some hardcore fans – Brighto number one.
2. Eric and Indomie
Eric my guy. This guy go chop 5 Indomie belleful at a go. I shit you not.
The tweets confirm it:
3. Vee and Spicy food
Vee intentionally cooks hot and spicy food so that ulcer patients will not be able to eat it. Omo.
What more can I say? The game is the game.
4. Eric and Food
Eric loves food more than Kanye loves Kanye. And that’s that on that.
5. Lucy can cook
Did I hear someone say wife material? 200 yards? LMAO.
Mama was even telling housemates she’ll cook for the entire 71 days if they don’t nominate her for eviction. LMAO. Where’s that skull emoji when you need it?

Yesterday, a video broke out on the internet about a guy who went into a BBNaija voting centre for Nengi fans to vote Laycon and got assaulted.
Here’s the video:
First thoughts: There are BBNaija voting centres? What happens in these centres if everyone just votes from their phones. Non BBNaija fans need more clarity on this.
Secondly, what do they mean he was ‘caught’ voting for Laycon. The word ‘caught’ is used for thieves and Nigerian politicians. But then again, if you watch the way he’s being beaten in the video you’d be convinced he’s a thief.,
This woman gave us some more clarity on the situation:
Look at the theatrics at the end of this video and tell me that this is normal. And does this guy even have any sense? He’s literally in a room filled with people who just finished beating him and he’s still trying to fight.
I don’t think any of this is real.
Anyway, he
explains himself:confesses:This is the typical confession video of a petty thief caught in a Nigerian market. They beat him so bad he said he went to buy “body pain” to make himself feel better. They even collected all his money.
So I’m asking, is this a normal BBNaija thing or did we just witness a glitch in the matrix?
One year ago, we left Nigeria for an 80-day adventure across West Africa. Something is coming. Unshared stories. New perspectives. Limited series. 10 episodes. Jollofroad.com

If you’ve been following this year’s Big Brother show then you’ve probably had 5 or 6 moments where you thought Big Brother sounded a lot like an average Nigerian parent. Here are 5 of those times;
1. Adding “immediately” to his sentences.
“Move to the garden immediately”. Because he can’t yell like a typical Nigerian parent he adds “immediately’ to do the job.
2. The way he wastes no time to address even the tiniest bit of disrespect.
Whether stated outrightly or implied this year’s Biggie suffered no insult.
3. When he tells evicted housemates to leave in 10 seconds and legit starts counting to 10.
Classic Nigerian parent move. But have you ever wondered what will happen if an evicted housemate refused to leave?
4. When he tells the housemates to enter the diary room properly dressed.
As if they have not been on National TV the whole time they were outside the diary room.
5. Telling them to settle their issues.
Or chop strike. The Nigerian parent version would be “say sorry to your brother or I will flog both of you”.
