As this season of Big Brother Naija wraps up, the intensity of the most-watched reality TV show in Nigeria has not only kept people at the edges of their seats but left lovers of the show with mixed feelings of how it will end.
On Sunday, September 22, 2019, fans and lovers of BBNaija gathered at the venue of the show to have an amazing time. Even though this time around, there were no evictions, it didn’t stop fans from turning up.
Let’s just say it was another beautiful evening as we watched Big Brother in his usual style tease the fake nominated housemates…it didn’t end in tears. Okay guys, here are five interesting things that happened at the live eviction show.
1. The die-hard showed up
This move by Biggie kind of affected the number of people who turned up for the live eviction show…housemates weren’t getting evicted so it was we guess lovers of the live eviction show decided to stay back at home. [BHM]
Since this season of Big Brother Naija ‘Pepper Dem’ season four started, we’ve had two weeks of no evictions. Housemates didn’t have to panic about getting evicted or what to wear to for the eviction Sunday. However, this week, Biggie didn’t inform the housemates about the ‘no eviction’ Sunday, so we had four housemates who actually thought they were heading home.

Reekado gave everyone a taste of what it would feel like at his concert and the dancers were out of this world…they gave us a ‘Fela and dancers’ retro.
3. DJ TTB
During the live eviction show on Sunday, DJ TTB did well to extend his disc jockey mastery skills from Saturday. Fans danced all through the ad breaks as he kind of understood the crowd and what specifically to play to get the not so large crowd excited.[Instagram/DJTTB]
Abuja’s finest disc jockey, TTB was on hand to spoil the housemates with his magic fingers on the wheels of steel. This he did effortlessly at the Saturday night party with the housemate sweating it out on the dance floor.

4. ‘You Get Levels’
One particular guy stood out who kept on screaming ‘You Get Levels’ at Ebuka (He came looking like a demi god), Reekado Banks and even DJ TTB. [BHM]
Ever noticed that during shows, concerts or a basic event, we always have different kinds of people who show. From the extremely vibrant people to the ’I just want everyone to see my dress’ kind of crowd and the tag team guys, you are sure to have a feel of all kinds of people. This was the feeling at the live eviction show on Sunday. One particular guy stood out who kept on screaming ’You Get Levels’ at Ebuka (He came looking like a demi god), Reekado Banks and even DJ TTB. It was so hilarious to watch as this guy (Probably his first time at the show) couldn’t hide his joy…happiness is from within!
5. The night club feel
The live eviction show on Sunday had a very unique lightening which if you were a first-timer would have been confused for a technical hitch. That wasn’t the case guys as the venue was given a different kind of lightning…something similar to that which can only be found in a night club. It was cute, sensual (Yes guys) and Reekado Banks and his dancers even made it more intense.

Why Fans No Longer Faint For Musicians – Paul Okoye

Nigerian singer and half of the defunct P-Square duo, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, has claimed that social media has reduced the prestige and value fans attached to musicians due to the mystique that artistes had before the era of social media.
Speaking in a recent interview with Lun Lifestyle TV, Rudeboy argued that social media, despite all its benefits, has shattered the illusion of artistes being mysterious and godlike.
This he said has reduced the buzz artistes previously enjoyed whenever their fans got the opportunity to see them whether physically or visually.
The ‘Reason With Me’ crooner explained that because artistes are no longer mysterious, fans are no longer eager to watch them in music videos.
He claimed that shooting music videos is now a waste of money.
Rudeboy said, “Music videos somehow now, because of this generation, is a waste of money. I am sorry to say this. But do you remember us [P-Square] before? You don’t see us anywhere. You just watch music videos, you see us and that’s it, or we come to your country, you see us.
“The reason you don’t see people faint for artistes anymore is because they see them on TikTok every day dancing and promoting your music. If Michael Jackson was alive now and doing promotional content on social media, nobody would see him and faint.
“Unfortunately, it’s too late for us to bring back the era of artistes being mystiques. How can you advise an artiste to post every day? How? Post what? You don’t need to.
“Social media brought positive change to the industry but it also led to ‘see-finish.’ Artistes are now too exposed. Fans see how they eat, cry. Before when artistes go to club, they stay in restricted VIP areas, but now when they are clubbing, everyone is filming.”

“From now on, if I go any party or dey any party and any stupid waitress tell me say are you done eating so I can pack your plate, na swear I go swear for you cause na pattern wey una dey use pack phone for table be that now,” he added.
However, Dre did not identify anyone suspected of taking his phone or provide further details about how the device went missing.

Popular singer, Chidinma Ekile has revealed that before transitioning from secular music to the gospel genre, she “ran away” from Nigeria.
Speaking at a recent Eezee Conceptz event, Chidinma explained that she travelled abroad and wanted to secure permanent residency because she didn’t want to return to Nigeria, but failed.
She revealed that while she was abroad, the CEO of Eezee Conceptz was the only person calling her from Nigeria, so she decided to work with him upon her return.
“I travelled. I ran away from Nigeria. I was processing my papers not to come back to Nigeria, but for some reason, it didn’t work.
“While I was abroad, the CEO of Eezee Conceptz was the only one who was calling me from Nigeria. He kept encouraging me, and I found the strength to come back to Nigeria. When I came back, I asked him to give me a gospel music contract because I want to spend time with God. And he gave me a contract that even my lawyer said seemed like a charity,” Chidinma stated.
The music star added that she did not transition into gospel music because she wanted to make gospel, but because she wanted a serious relationship with God.
