The Light Show
Meeting Biggie was a momentous occasion and it definitely looked the part. The lighting was dramatic, the ninja’s all stood around Biggie’s chair, embodying a King’s court and the Housemates had to line up in front of this exhibit like subjects. It was a sight to behold and truly set the tone for the series of events that unfolded thereafter
Speechless
Maybe it was the grandiose exhibition of Biggie’s power or just the mere idea that they were going to meet him for the first time but the Housemates looked shook. When Biggie initially asked if anyone had questions, they all remained mum and said nothing. After this Biggie addressed each of them individually and their responses were extremely meek and soft. Very paradoxical seeing as though most of the Housemates are larger than life when they are living it up in the House.
Generosity
Biggie was in an exponentially generous mood, first he told the Housemates there would be no Evictions, and he then threw a spanner in the works and gave them a choice stating that they can leave the game now and choose an envelope with an undisclosed sum of money in it. While there were signs of temptation from Rico Swavey and Alex, no one took the bait at the end of the day. Just to sweeten the deal even more, Biggie also removed everyone’s strikes which caused Tobi, Lolu and Cee-C to brim with joy.
Reset
All of this was a symbolic moment in order for Biggie to reset the game in order for things to move forward in a new light. It is going to be a whole new game with Anto and Khloe coming back. This is going to shift the vibe in the House and definitely spice things up.
DAY 56: Ebuka and Special Guest will Party in the House
The Saturday party is going to be crazy next week, with Ebuka and a Special guest joining the Housemates for the fun.
It will be a moment in Big Brother Naija History, for the first time, a host will actually joint the Housemates inside the House to party the night away.
Ebuka made the announcement after leaving the Housemates hanging about the supposed Nominations. On the back of this cliff-hanger Ebuka told us that he and a special guest will be joining the 11 Housemates on Saturday for the party which was also a statement shrouded in mystery.
It begged so many questions - How will the Housemates react to this? Who on earth could the special guest possibly be?
The Saturday party is always lit but this is just going to take things to a whole new level, it will be Big Brother Naija reloaded with the two previously Evicted Housemates back in the game and now Ebuka just to add some extra hot spice to the mix.
Ebuka did not give much away and said that we will need to watch and see what happens going forward. We all know that he has the ability to speak what a lot of the Housemates leave unspoken so it should be an extremely interesting social experiment.
Day 56: Speaking to Tivo Bespoke
It is no secret that Ebuka is a style icon, every week he never fails to wow us with his dapper attire and flawless silhouettes. There are visionary minds behind each one of these looks and today we get to know the talented Idim Ikpeme.
Crafting bespoke apparel requires immense attention to detail and a lot of creative inspiration, when asked what three moments in his life that brought him to where he is today, he said that working abroad, taking a risk and resigning from his job and then finally packing his bags and coming back to Nigeria after 5 years in England are his three defining moments.
He credits Ozwald Boateng as his ultimate fashion icon, stating that he was the first inspiration he got in terms of believing he could make it in the fashion industry regardless of your colour or race.
Inspiration is obviously the source of an artist’s creation and for Idim, it is simple, it’s all about colour and fabric.
Three things that Idim deems to be significant about his work are all the things you would expect from a high end luxury brand; quality fabric, details and cut. The things that he loves the most about Ebuka is that he makes a suit look good which is just the perfect fit – Excuse the pun!
The future is looking bright for this rising fashion star, after Big Brother he will be focusing on the Lagos project which is the setting up an outlet store to carter for his Lagos clientele.
Day 57: Surprise! We’re back
A peaceful sleep was disturbed by the sound of Big Brother’s rather strangely sounding alarm. The Housemates are used to it and even though they were woken up later than their usual waking time, the screams that came for the upstairs bedroom were nothing they could have anticipated.
If You're and You Know It
Anto couldn’t hold herself back. When she saw that some had woken up, she was the first to shout ‘we’re back’ and the Housemates quickly ran to the Head Of House Bedroom suite. Just like school kids returning from spring break, the shock and excitement from the Housemates was too visible to ignore. In disbelief, all trying to gather as much information at once, smiles and questions followed and all they could say was ‘we just flew in’ and Anto jokingly said she went out of the House to fetch Khloe. Shock Or Worry? It was hugs and laughs all around with everyone suddenly fully awake and Anto and Khloe were really in the Big Brother House again.
Not Too Happy About It
However, Cee-C and Nina were not about all the excitement. Having been woken up by a Housemate they knew had left brought all kinds of shock and confusion and they were not afraid to show it. Nina even took time to be in her own zone which she came out of when one of the Housemates asked if she was alright. A Genuine Welcome Back After the screaming and being clear that Anto and Khloe were really in the House, BamBam, Lolu and Rico Swavey showed immerse and genuine appreciation of their presence. Though other’s also welcomed them back it was nothing compared to the love they were given by these three. From there on, it was controllable chaos in the House with Housemates trying to get a piece of the returning Housemates.
Where To From Here?
The generosity Biggie has displayed to the Housemates has them starting over on a clear slate, something that will trigger more competition from the Housemates. Last night, Big Brother pulled a spin and reset the game which means going forward, all the transgressions of the Housemates have been forgiven with no hidden agenda. All Biggie’s asking is that the respect his House and His rules. We’ll just have to wait and see how the new set-up will be.
