Eviction Fever Grips BB Naija Housemates
The biggest TV show in Nigeria, Big Brother Naija is finally back! The reality show which started on the 30th of June, with the caption “Pepper Dem”, brought all kinds of characters to the house.
The show which unveiled twenty-one housemates from across Nigeria has already witnessed two evictions which kicked out Isilomo and Avala, now has nineteen housemates left, while five have been nominated for possible eviction this weekend; which means that one or two housemates will have to leave the house come Sunday.
Although, some fans have been complaining that there was poor preparation this year compared to previous editions, this is because of the June 30th and July 7th incident, where fans stayed glued to the particular channel allotted for the show but unknown to them, it was televised on a different channel.
The first eviction (last Sunday) got fans asking if there was actually an eviction since they could not watch it on the scheduled channel. This kept fans wondering if the ongoing show will have the usual spiceness, pep and suspense associated with the reality show.
So far, the house has been interesting. We have seen the housemates argue, quarrel and we are expecting more drama. We can tell that some housemates are having crushes on one another already but they are finding it difficult to express it.
The part that the watchers have been anticipating is about to come through. Even with the whole pretence and maturity being exhibited amongst them, we still believe that some housemates are willing to mingle. After surviving the eviction of Sunday, July 7, Gedoni and Khaffi have come closer than expected.
The Port Harcourt first daughter (Tacha), seems ready for everything, excluding love according to her, but it appears that the housemates are not comfortable with her. Well, it is not just about the housemates now, let us hope that her huge fan base will be able to save her this Sunday; even as we look forward to more drama from the ‘Pepper Dem’ housemates.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
