Here’s a list of 6 lessons we learned from this year’s BBNaija relationships;

1. Choose the people that choose you: Angel and Cross

Angel and Cross understood the ride or die assignment and we loved to see it. We saw Cross genuinely making efforts to understand and be there for Angel no matter how complex her personality was. They had their friendship on lockdown and it just proves that when the vibe matches everything else just sails smoothly.

2. Your network is your networth; Emmanuel and Liquorose

Despite not having a large fan base himself Emmanuel managed to survive all his eviction nominations and made it to the finals. The moral lesson is clear; if you want to go far in life, attach yourself to someone who is already ahead. Let them help your destiny.

3. Come correct on what you want: Jackie B and Micheal

This ship was the most tedious ship this year, they kept going back and forth and stressing everyone else involved because they couldn’t have an adult conversation on defining what they have. Between Jackie B’s “it’s not that deep/you’re disrespecting me” and Micheal’s “stap playin wid mi” it was just a lot of stress for viewers and any other female housemate who dared come close to Micheal.

4. Make sure you are your spec’s spec: Whitemoney and Jackie B

Whitemoney put Queen through a lot of stress because he was trying to prove his feelings for Jackie B. And all along Jackie B had already “Father zoned” him because she said she gets “daddy vibes” from him. Moral lesson; research about your spec’s spec before you start picking out baby names.

5. People can be angry with you and still show up for you: Saga and Pere

Pere was visibly hurt when Biggie played the clip of Saga badmouthing him to Nini. But when Saga was distraught over Nini’s disappearance, it was Pere who stood by him, kept consoling him, and even sat with him outside the rain. If people genuinely care for you, they will come through for you when you need them to. It doesn’t even matter how angry they are with you.

6. Go after what you want: Saskay and Jaypaul

Jaypaul saw what he liked and he went after it. He did not let the fact that what he liked had a whole relationship outside the house or that another housemate was passionately in the race too. He simply went after what he wanted and as a reward won himself a passionate kiss before he got evicted (insert a round of applause here).

Here’s a list of 5 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

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.

Don’t worry, if you don’t agree now, you will agree by the time you get to point 3 on this list.

1. He will gladly sell his father’s land to buy you hair.

As long as he gets to see a smile on your face, he will risk being removed from his father’s will. Your slay is his priority and maintaining your beauty is his life’s mission.

2. You can cheat on him and blame it on the devil.

Add a sprinkle of tears and you’ll be off the hook. You know he hates to see you vulnerable and crying. If you tell him he indirectly pushed you to do it he might even be the one apologizing.

3. If his parents don’t like you, he will come and tell you himself and beg you not to leave him.

And if any of his friends dare say a bad thing about you he will cut them off with a quickness. You don’t have to worry about coming second in his life because this man will demote everyone else for you.

4. He will gladly give you 50% of his salary.

And extra if you need more. He will also make you next of kin on all his bank accounts and investments. You are his woman and his woman must be financially pampered.

5. You don’t even need to buy juju, he will focus on you alone.

So you can use your Kayamata budget for enjoyment.

6. He will be your ride or die

No matter the address you are riding to, he will happily sit at the steering wheel and chauffeur you there.

7. He will never serve you breakfast.

Even if all the restaurants are doing promo, he will never serve you breakfast. His love for you is unconditional and very stubborn.

I hope with these 7 points, we have convinced you that a BBNaija Saga is the man you need.

This article will take you through how Show fans graduate from viewers to sugar mummy/daddies.

1. The objective critique stage

At this stage where the show just started and no one has gotten emotionally attached yet. Everyone just gets on their high horse and starts publishing hot takes on how the housemates are boring and the production is wack and every one part of the eviction process should be fired because they did a horrible job.

2. The “interested, but not interested” stage

This is the stage where people start getting attached to housemates. They’ll start posting about housemates they like and subtly defending their favs on social media. At this stage they may reject the fan base name but, best believe in one week, they will add that same name to their handle.

3. The “stan” stage

This is the stage where people are now seen on social media “stanning” their favs every day. The stage where they carry their fav’s matter on their head and cuss out anyone that dares to slander this fav. This is also the stage where they start proudly joining Whatsapp groups to vote and campaign for their favs. And of course, they use their fav’s picture as their DP.

4. The sugar mummy/daddy

This stage kicks off when the show ends. This is the stage where fans start funding their favs. They crowdfund to give their favs extravagant cash gifts and may even go as far as buying properties for their favs that they themselves do not own yet. At this stage, the average BBN viewer has successfully gone from an objective viewer to an emotionally invested sugar daddy/mummy.

Which stage of watching the BBNaija show are you currently at? Tell us in the comments.

If you missed it, here are a few posts that captured the drama.

1. The drip was on point

Housemates were dressed like characters from Bling Lagosians by Yomi Casual and MrsSandra O. Both designers understood the assignment.

2. The DJ however did not understand the assignment

3. Liquorose came through with all the energy as usual.

We’re drafting a petition for her to bottle and sell her energy because it is plenty.

4. After party shenanigans

Jaypaul finally got some action. Hopefully it will be enough to take home with him after the eviction this Sunday.

5. General Pere collected small dragging from his “bro”.

Bro’s over hoes? Not under Saga’s watch please.

6. The Jaskay ship finally saw some action.

7. And THIS happened.

The most anticipated show down of the season. Cross and Angel fans were pleased.

8. And a new ship was born.

We don’t know where this ship is headed but we’re closely watching because this content is bound to be lit.

9. In conclusion…

Proof that this life still never balance.

Take the quiz to find out which villain you are:

Angel

If you are an Angel fan, it’s very obvious you came to this life to enjoy yourself. You are not here to be stressed or stress people. The only downside to your behaviour is how trusting you are of others. Angel’s fans are also very socially aware, intelligent and playful.

Maria

You are very aware of your beauty and the power you possess. Maria’s fans are also no-nonsense people. The way you behave is dependent on the type of energy you receive from people around you. The only downside to you is not always taking full responsibility for your actions.

Saskay

Only sexy men and women love Saskay. Saskay’s fans are very aware of their and beauty. Your main purpose is to enjoy your life and turn the heads of people who see you. When P-Square said “we run things, things don’t run we“, they were talking about Saskay and her fans.

Liquorose

Liquorose’s fans are very cool and only feisty when necessary. Anyone who loves LR loves life, makes friends easily and is very protective of their own.

Tega

If you love Tega, it is obvious you are a good game player. You are all about the money and the game. Tega fans know what they want and go for it.

Saga

Again, we are not judging anyone. But if you like Saga, we have a question for you, do you lose focus?. Saga fans are loverboys and lover girls who’ll go to any extent to prove their love and loyalty to the ones they love. Love conquers all things when it comes to them. Love wins.

Whitemoney

People who love Whitemoney didn’t come to this life to be stressed at all. They love themselves and know their limits. They love others and know to make everyone feel very comfortable. Everyone needs a Whitemoney stan in their corner.

Cross

If “I’m here for a good time, not a long time” had a fanbase, it would be Cross’s fans. Cross’s fans are on earth to enjoy their lives to the fullest. They are funny and very dependable. They are also selfless people who are not shy to call out bad behaviour.

Pere

Pere fans are the alpha male and females of this world. They love to be in control and on top of situations at all times. Their behaviour can easily be misinterpreted and they are always misunderstood.

JayPaul

JayPaul’s fans are sweethearts, very much like Saskay’s fans. They are lovers of life and beauty. If you like JayPaul, it’s very obvious you have great taste.

See them here:

1. Liquorose

Ever since Liquorose stepped into the Big Brother House, she has served us one original dance step after another. Leg work, Zanku, Palliative dance, she always brings her own unique touch to it.

2. Saskay

Saskay is so different in all her ways. But you see when she does her dance steps, nobody is touching the hem of her garment.

3. Emmanuel

The EmmaRose shippers know what they are doing when they put Liquorose and Emmanuel together. Both of them can dance fire.

4. Yousef

Just look at him, throwing his hands in the air as though saluting Orijin. We also throw our hands in the air in salute of his funny dance steps.

5. Nini and Saga

These two have become inseparable. And yet, as a joint unit, they still bring us the sweetest couple dance steps in the house. We have to stan a dedicated couple. Also, peep Yousef in the corner.

6 & 7. Jackie B and Queen

Common knowledge is that you don’t put two queens side by side. You leave them to rule their own different territories. But we will do it today. These two divas always bring lively dance steps to every Saturday night party, and we must stan.

8. Pere

Call him General Pere if you may, but even at that, he has his own ways. Always moving gently but serving dance steps.

9. WhiteMoney

He always delivers Igbo man realness. That level of difference is unmatched.

10. Cross

Everything Cross does is hilarious. Dressing, diary sessions, even dancing. An originally orijinal man, through and through. Who are we not to stan?

Yes, we are celebrating original dance steps. But can we also point out this original dance floor set-up?

Every Saturday, the dance floor takes on a new look. But the decor for last Saturday is so breathtaking, we cannot simply overlook it. When you see an orijinal thing of beauty, you appreciate it. And that’s what we just did!

Yes, Johnnie Walker had an outside party with a lot of fun, but the housemates dictated the vibes in this year’s Johnnie Walker jam. They put their backs in it and gave us fun content.

See some of our fave dancers:

1. WhiteMoney

Just look at the positioning of the feet.

2. Angel.

When Angel stands alone like this, you know she’s about to bring fire dance steps!

3. Cross and Saskay

Who is touching the hem of their garments? NOBODY. These two dey dance shege.

4. Queen.

She came to show us that she is not called “Queen” for nothing.

5. Peace.

Yes, her name might be “Peace”, but she is far from making the dance floor peaceful. She has grabbed her cup of Johnnie Walker and is ready to dance up a storm.

6. Tega

After Tega, there is still Tega. We have to thank Johnnie Walker for making the last Saturday Night Party lit!

7. Honourable mention: Liqourose.

The OG of legwork and the queen of vibes.

8. Super honourable mention: Johnnie Walker!

We have to give honour to whom it is due.
