Today, the Lockdown Housemates unleashed their Fuji, Appala, Reggae and R&B skills as they took us on a musical ride in the Task, courtesy of Airtel Nigeria. Let’s see who sang their way to victory.

As a way of promoting the *444# code, Airtel has also created a unique and lively song for the product. On this note, their Task for today, was to further entrench the song in the minds of the populace by simply creating their own rendition of the song.

The teams according to the order in which they presented

Now, let’s see how well your faves performed

Hello Nollywood!

They opened the floor in tonight’s presentation and entertained us from the second they began. First, Neo and Wathoni put on their acting caps as they explained that any other network asides Airtel, is a counterfeit. Next, Ozo and Dorathy joined the team as Dorathy gave us some fuji rap; who would have thought that she could give 9ice a run for his money?

The outstanding voices

What happens when you put two amazing artistes in a team? Pure entertainment! With this team, it was no surprise seeing other Housemates join the performance as they sang and dance along to the rhythm. Starting with vee’s song rendition, team two gave us an amazing song and then when Laycon jumped on the beat with a drum and fuji vibes, it was tempting not to dance. Nengi and Tolanibaj also gave us some ‘ajasa’ and twerks.  One question, how were they able to combine all genres of music into their presentation? We need lessons abeg!

The performers

 Lucy started off the team’s presentation with some singing as the others joined her in the performance. They did not only come to show off their singing skills, the members of team three put their backs into the presentation as Praise, Brighto and Prince danced to Lucy’s rhythm.

The comedians

Kiddwaya climbed on stage with so much confidence as he took us through a brief summary of their presentation… until things went south and lines were forgotten. Nonetheless, we didn’t fail to recognize Erica’s singing abilities and also how Trikytee tried within his power to salvage the situation. Let’s just say their performance was truly an entertaining one as they gave us comical relief. Or could everything just be a part of their drama? At least they gave us some mad shaku shaku ?

A charity win for team 4 meta

Biggie gave the winner’s brief to Kiddwaya and the winning team was announced in the Lounge. Congratulations to team 4 meta on winning two million Naira, which will provide materials worth the amount to any charity cause of their choice.

While we wait for Airtel Nigeria to release this jingle on all music platforms, let’s keep dancing to “444 is a metaphor”.

More food fights

It looks like the Housemates will always fight about food in the Big Brother House.

ou thought it was over right? It seems food wars will be a constant in the House as is to be expected with so many different individuals in one place. 

Yesterday after Kiddwaya’s magnificent HoH win he chose Tolanibaj to be his deputy, which she gladly accepted. This is not all, Kiddwaya is also the custodian of a big secret in the House which the Housemates do not know, and if he can keep it a secret, he is in for a reward from Biggie.

As his first order of the day, Kiddwaya decided that everyone should eat communally. This didn’t go down well with all of the Housemates.

Why would they eat together?

Kiddwaya explained to the Housemates that when they ate together at the table in their first week in the House, they seemed happier. He told Tolanibaj that everyone should eat as a family, asking her to speak to the girls and he would speak to the guys. Many of the Housemates mentioned in the Diary Session earlier that they missed Ka3na because she cooked for everyone and now more and more people had to fend for themselves. Kiddwaya wanted to bring the camaraderie back into the House, which resulted in many people waiting beyond their normal eating time for food. 

The guys were hangry

Kiddwaya went to talk to Praise and Laycon about the issue, telling them why he wanted to start this initiative. The guys were not welcoming of the idea at all as both of them were hungry. Laycon was very vocal, telling Kiddwaya that he could not wait for that one meal. The two told Kiddwaya that they wanted the process to be fair. It was not fair as it stood because there would be people who would cook for their friends. Kiddwaya tried to explain that during his regime, there would be communal food so that the Housemates could create some kind of solidarity. The fight got heated and in the end, Kiddwaya walked away from Praise who refused to calm down. 

Confusion at the dinner table

When the time to dish came, the Housemates entered a state of confusion not knowing who was eating now or who was going to save food for later or tomorrow. During this confusion, it became clear that not everyone would sit at the table and eat together. Some ate at the table, others ate outside, others did not eat at all. It also turned out there was not enough food of each variety for everyone to get some and some had to make do with what was left.

Whose food is whose?

Later in the evening while Praise and Laycon were still outside, Vee asked Erica where she had taken two stew packs. Apparently, while the Housemates were all trying to dish out food, Vee saw Erica take the stew packs to the HoH Lounge. The conversation looked like it was about to turn into a fight until Erica calmed the situation quickly by telling Vee that she only took portions to the HOH Lounge. Vee looked satisfied until she went to Tolanibaj and told her that she was very upset by the situation in general. Tolanibaj quelled the situation by telling Vee that she would talk to Kiddwaya about it in the evening. 

It seems like food will continue to be an issue for Housemates in the House. Let’s keep an eye to see if the kitchen will continue to sometimes be a battlefield. 

Neo’s expensive sacrifice for love

Love is sweet but na money make am sweeter! How much is Neo able to pay to prove his love for Vee? Let’s find out.

Tomorrow is Vee’s birthday and a few days ago Neo made a special request to Big Brother. He requested for flowers to present to Vee tomorrow. Today, Biggie instructed Kiddwaya to pass a message across to Neo on his request.

Biggie told Kiddwaya to ask Neo if he still wants flowers for Vee. If his answer is yes, then he must agree to trade two items for the flowers. As you may imagine, love isn’t cheap, neither are flowers and nothing is truly free in the Lockdown House. So how much will Neo pay to show his love for bae?

Since he was instructed to keep it a secret between himself and Neo, Kiddwaya called Neo aside to pass across the message. He was to sacrifice all his BB Naira for the week and any of his personal belongings. We found it cute that immediately Neo was told what to do to get his request for bae granted, he didn’t waste a second as he went through his drawers and scouted for a shirt to sacrifice.

Kiddwaya went to deliver the first sacrifice to Biggie and then came back to tell Neo his second item to forgo – all his BB Naira for the week. As hard as that sounded, lover boy Neo didn’t hesitate to agree to Biggie’s terms and conditions. It seems Davido is right sha, when money enters, love is sweeter but, in this case, when BB Naira enters, love is the sweetest in the Lockdown House. We go love o!

It seems Biggie’s rule to make this Task a secret, will not end up being so much of a secret because the moment Neo gave all the required items to Kiddwaya, he ran off to the Garden to reveal it to Ozo, Praise and Prince. Will Neo’s inability to keep his mouth on this Task keep him from getting his wishes from Biggie granted?
