Daily Lastest Update of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 5 2020 (Highlights)



Last Updated on July 23, 2020
As the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 5 reality show commences, we have made this post to give you a daily update of events that happened in the Big Brother Naija house.


Day 3
The Diary room drama


Housemates shared too much and too little during the diary session.
Biggie gave more Housemates a chance to sit on the swing in the Diary Room and share their deepest secrets. When the time came for them to answer Biggie, some of those truths lefts us shocked, while others made us wonder if the Housemates are in a state of shock.


Prince Diary Session

Prince took his time in the swing to share with Biggie how confident he of his standing in the House so far. Prince also gave us a glimpse of his possible future alliances when he mentioned that he feels a bond with Ka3na and Laycon.
No telling if the Ka3na connection is just for voting, or something much more. Either way, Prince feels that as far as the game is concerned, he’s the King.


Tolanibaj Diary Session

Tolanibaj opened up to Biggie that she was still trying to get comfortable, even though her fellow Housemates are intellectual, fun, and the kind of people she could share a bond with.
Tolanibaj said that she feels closest to Vee due to their ex-pat connection, and when she mentioned Bright a twinkle in her eye said more than her words ever could. Hopefully, this confession was just what her T-Force supporters needed to hear in order to grow larger and stronger.

Praise Diary Session

Praise let Biggie in on the fact that he is not an avid reader, but somehow managed to finish the WHOLE Bible during the week he was quarantined. No telling if that was true or not, but there was no denying his respect for fellow Housemates with Neo, Eric, and Ka3na being at the top of his list.

Kaisha Diary Session

Kaisha turned her private conversation in the Diary Room into a tear-filled secret session. There could be a personality issue at play here as Kaisha wept while mentioning she that felt her fellow Housemates are fake because, one day they are nice to her, and the next they aren’t.


While sobbing she opened up about she wished her fellow Housemates would spread love and light. Biggie challenged Kaisha to become the love and light she wants to see in the House and then sent her off to implement it.


Laycon Diary Session

When it came time for Laycon to have his one on one session with Biggie, there were numerous moments that showed the resident musician is a deep on so many levels.


He explained that his lockdown time was used to learn more about himself and to begin plan the mental preparations that lead to success. When Laycon asked Biggie to freestyle for him the request was shot down. If you want to make music, the Diary Room isn’t the place to do it Laycon.

Dorathy Diary Session
Dorathy was all smiles and compliments during her secret sharing session with Biggie. She let it be known that lockdown was a great experience for her, and if she had to choose a Housemate form an alliance it would be Ozo.


No telling what type of alliance she had in mind. Confidence oozed from Dorathy and when asked about her chances of winning Big Brother, she replied: “On a scale of 1 to 10…10.5!” Thank goodness Big Brother Naija isn’t a maths test or that would have been a fail.

Trikytee Diary Session

Trikytee lived up to every bit of his name as the resident filmmaker gave Biggie too much epic footage during their chit-chat. When asked about alliances he mentioned Eric, Nengi and Wathoni positively. Trikytee made it clear that he sees Nengi as a little sister but thinks Wathoni has a cool vibe.

He also pointed out that the hardest part of lockdown for him being without his phone, because even in his dreams he uses it. We all wonder who is picking up Trikytee’s call?

Lilo Diary Session

It’s not often you hear someone say the word excited and not see it in their body language. This was the case for Lilo’s chat with Biggie in the Diary Room cooly waxed on about how she is enjoying the good vibes and cool people.

The only time she showed some sort of emotion was when Biggie asked about her bond with Eric. Lilo even struggled to answer correctly and Biggie had to put it to her again. Looks like the “Erilo” ‘ship is sailing through her mind, but no telling how long the ‘ship will sail.

Sanitize Task

While the Housemates were working hard to ace their get-to-know-me Task of the week, Big Brother decided to put their Lockdown-acquired skills to test. In addition to their creativity in making their own hand sanitizers and nose masks, the Housemates were provided with necessary materials for this Task.
For this Challenge, they were required to split themselves into 4 groups, 5 on each team.

An important rule

In this Task, Biggie emphasized on the need to sanitize before the Task and after they are done.

There’s creativity in keeping safe
Creativity seems to be the order of the day as the Housemates unleashed their tailoring skills and got to work. Different shades on patterned nose masks as well as various sizes of hand-made hand sanitizers.


Fan Base Names

Are you stomped when trying to coin a name for your favourite Lockdown Housemate? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! From Lilo’s LiloLovers to Dorathy’s Dora the explorers and Tolanibaj’s Tforce, our definitive guide to fan base names will leave you wondering no more.

Fan base names range from cute to crazy. And although they may seem a little ridiculous and unimportant, these names can boost your publicity as much as a trending hashtag. 

So how do you go about picking a name to call your own fans by? Sit tight and let the Lockdown Housemates school you.


Personify your name: Take a part of your name and personify it. For instance, Bright’s Army, T-Force, etc
Make a play on your name: If your name is short and sounds like a perfect movie title, then why not play with your fandom name? Example, Lilovers, NeoKnights


Preferred fan base name

• Eric – Ericmaniacs
  
• Lilo – Lilovers
  
• Brighto – Bright’s Army
  
• Neo – The NeoMatrix, The NeoKnights
  
• Laycon – Icons
  
• Ozo – OZDGREAT
  
• Prince – The Royal Navy
  
• Trikytee – Timmy’s army
  
• Tochi – Too – Nation
  
• Tolanibaj – T-Force
  

Their names sound so good, they had to call it twice
Erica, Kaisha, and Nengi thought it was safe to have their fanbase go by their names. Go team Erica, team Kaisha, and team Nengi!
And of course, we have the ones that will rather leave it in the hands of their fans


“I prefer for the name to naturally occur as I grow and develop as a person and brand,” Kiddwaya said.


Getting to Know themselves

The Housemates seemed to have saved the juiciest revelations for last as they spilt some interesting facts about themselves after the Diary session. There was something about taking that centre seat that made them feel like they entered a confession booth.


Brighto Love Life

Brighto talked about his academic exploits but that wasn’t what got the room buzzing. It was the brief comment he made about his relationship that made the rest of the Housemates hit rewind on the remote control.
There was no way they were letting him gloss over that piece of juicy information. Apparently Brighto had been in a relationship that lasted for eight years and as the Housemates prodded further, he revealed they weren’t intimate during their affair. As expected, the guys expressed shock at him holding all that pent-up love juice in him for so long.

Prince and Trikytee

Although they come from different backgrounds, Prince and Trickytee share a passion for being go-getters. Not only have they both fulfilled their dream of making it into the Big Brother House, but they have also set up businesses for themselves in their quest to be self-sufficient. But that isn’t really the juicy part.
.
Their love for exotic adult content is what had their Housemates looking at them with side-eyes. While Prince has an appetite for homemade videos, Trickytee is a lover of all. Trickytee did say it was a past time guilty pleasure, but the gleam in his eyes at that moment had the Housemates in doubt.

Nengi’s Confession


Nengi’s confession about her self-helping escapades because of her long-distance relationship rattled quite a few in the House and had the streets buzzing.


Lilo and Lucy Confrontation

The ‘get to know me’ session did create mild tension between Lucy and Lilo and there was a bit of confrontation. Lilo believed she heard Lucy make a side comment about her during her session and confronted her.
Lucy insisted she didn’t make that comment in response to her and felt if Lilo should have asked her rather than going on the offensive. 

In her discussion with Tochi about her confrontation, she said the comment she made about the session being hurried up was not addressed to Lucy but a general response to the entire session because she was getting hungry. “If you did not hear something well, you could have asked me,” she said wondering why the confrontation.


Day 2
Day two started with the Big Brother Housemates taking some morning fitness training. The second morning in Biggie’s house saw Eric leading the workout and getting all the Housemates sweating more than a night of possible Eviction.


When it comes to getting us sweating, Eric showed that he’s truly ready to open his gym as he took the lead in getting the Housemate’s sweating. The floor routine he guided the Housemates through had some sweating and others giving up. Dorathy took part and seemed as if she was about to give up on numerous occasions.


One thing for sure is that the Housemates aren’t strangers to fitness, especially the guys. Plenty abs were on display with Neo taking his shirt off for the whole workout.


Prince showed he knows a thing or two about fitness because when he took over the tempo was seriously upped. Ozo, Vee and Tochi struggled to keep up with the pace, and even had to be shouted at to continue. Great bodies don’t come easily and this work out was the proof.


It’s not over until it’s over and a few of the guys showed us their staying power. They went the extra mile thanks to Praise challenging Eric, Prince, Tochi, Trikytee, Kiddwaya, and Neo into doing even more push-ups. By the end of the session, the only guys who could handle the extra push-ups were Trikytee, Eric and Praise. If fitness was votes, these guys would never be Evicted.

The Get to Know Me Session

Housemates got involved in a get to know me session that burst our brains. A whole lot was revealed!

In preparation for the task on Thursday, Housemates paired up and shared their stories. This exercise was good for them but even better for us because we finally got a clearer understanding of what shaped them in their past, and what they desire for their future. Here is what we learned:

Erica and Kiddwaya’s Past

When it comes to being opposites, they don’t come anymore different than Erica and Kiddwaya. Erica left home at 19 years of age and never looked back, while Kiddwaya feels taking your time to establish yourself is fine too.

Prince and Vee’s Relationships

When it comes to relationships, Vee and Prince are definitely on two different paths. Prince had a love affair that lasted 2 years, while Vee hasn’t given her heart to anyone for longer than six months.

Laycon the Musician

While chewing the fat, Eric learned that Laycon is a musician who, during the premiere of season five, used his own song as the soundtrack for his light filled entrance. He also has a deep love for Nina Simone. Laycon learned that if money was no object, Eric would buy a basketball team.

Kaisha’s Disbeliefs

Even though the Housemates were sharing truths, Kaisha found it hard to believe that Trikytee is 35 years-old. Kaisha asked him repeatedly, and each time she believed him less.  His youthful looks certainly had her fooled.

Nengi’s Sad Past

Nengi also let us into some of the struggles she has faced, after losing both of her parents. She wished that she had the superpower of time travel so that she could see her parents just one last time. Wathoni in return told Nengi that the reason she decided to enter Biggie’s House, was so that she could let the world know she exists. “The world needs to know that this girl exists,” shared Wathoni.


Brighto’s Multilingual Skills

While chatting to Lucy, Brighto let it be known that he is multilingual and is able to speak Ibo, Hausa, and Yoruba.

Praise Engagement and Child

While touching base with Vee, Praise said that he is engaged and has a child with his partner of four years. His fiance permitted him to “be bad when you have to be bad”, and that revelation brought a smile to Vee’s face.

Ozo’s Mindset

While chatting to chatting to Lucy, Ozo mentioned the importance of keeping a positive mind. This realization came to him after he lost his dream job as a Sports Administrator at the UEFA had to move back to Nigeria.
Housemates shared quite a lot about themselves, so much so that we cannot possibly detail everything here. It is enough to say that this session gave us a lot of insight about them.

First Diary Room Session

Big Brother Naija Housemates were called in for their first diary room session with Biggie, giving us a closer look into each of their plans for the next ten weeks.


Biggie’s diary sessions have revealed much about the Housemates. For one, living in isolation before Big Brother started, because of the Coronavirus, weighed heavily on some of the Housemates.


Nengi’s First Diary Session


Head of House Nengi told Biggie that she used the time spent in the hotel room to improve her relationship with God, reading her Bible quite extensively.
Nengi said she is in the House to win it all. “Coming here, I want to prove a lot of people wrong and to prove to myself I can do this. It was a confidence booster to come to this House,” she said.


Wathoni First Diary Session

Wathoni found that she couldn’t wait for room service and housekeeping to knock on the door just so she could hear their voices. She sees herself bonding with Trickytee because he makes her laugh.


Erica’s First Diary Session
Erica picked Neo as someone she may just ally with despite having some good conversations with “cool” Eric. She also liked Tolanibanj’s approach, being a “no nonsense kind of girl”. But most of all, she picked up on Laycon’s philosophical approach, who is “making her see the world differently”. “Laycon is like Aristotle” she said.
Erica’s biggest takeout from life in the House so far has to be the idea that she will be a better person at the end of Big Brother Naija Lockdown. “Once I leave the house, I will be a much better person because I will have a higher tolerance.”


Day 1
The Housemates Cools off in Jacuzzi and Bond with one Another


After going through their first Lockdown Head of House game, the Housemates eased off with jacuzzi moments and meaningful conversations.


In the spirit of getting to know one another this week, the Lockdown gang spent the night bonding and reminiscing all evening about old songs. Erica got most of the attention as she burst some moves and twerks while this was going on. More exciting scenes will be seen during the Saturday Night Party will be with the Lockdown Housemates.

Lucy and Laycon Face off

For reasons known to her, Lucy took it upon herself to analyze the Housemates that have been too quiet in the House. It wasn’t until Laycon schooled her on how wrong it was for her to judge Kaisha before she finally let go of the matter.

Praise and Ka3na

Praise was lamenting to whoever cared to listen about how Ka3na was trying to eat her cake and have it. According to him, the pair were having a cuddling session when Ka3na suddenly stood up saying, “I’m coming, let me go and have meaningful conversations.”
Getting to Know Each Other

In preparation for their Thursday “Get to know me” game with Biggie, the Housemates took turns in the Garden trying to learn basic facts about each other. Questions on their individual native names, favorite food and so on filled the air as they dug deeper into the theme of the week.

Ka3na’s Marriage and Her Beautiful Daughter

While this was going on, it seemed Brighto had a project to write on Ka3na as he went deeper with his own questions. Well thankfully, we got to know that Ka3na has been married before and she has a beautiful baby girl.

Head of House for Week 1

The Big Brother Naija reality started off with the housemates competing for the head of house (HOH) position. Anyone who wins the Head of House challenge will have the privilege to occupy the BBNaija lounge for the next 1 week, and will also choose a deputy head of house to occupy the lounge with. The head of house winner will also be immune from nomination for one week.

The challenge started with Big Brother introducing the game to the housemates.


The Betway Nigeria Head of House game is definitely not as easy as you thought. Seems luck wasn’t on the side of Ozo, Lucy, Lilo and Laycon as they performed poorly.


Throughout their stay in the House, this Head of House Game shall not change, so Biggie advised the Housemates to take a moment and walk around, examine the Game and all the items available without touching anything.


In the center of the Arena, was a mat with 30 boxes between the start point and the Head of House point.


The aim of the game was for them to move on the steps and arrive at the Head of House point within an allocated time frame. The number of steps taken was decided by a dice roll. So, of course, this was a game of luck.


Starting with Trikytee and ending with Tolanibaj in a series of dice rolling and steps in the first round, only Nengi and Neo were close or should we say lucky enough to take part in a second round of Head of House game.


Determined to bag the first Lockdown Head of House win, the two Housemates took turns in playing the game with a countdown clock of one minute to guide them.


However, there was a tie between Nengi and Neo for several rounds of the game. Neo finally gave up as he lost the game to Nengi. Big Brother Declared Nengi as the Head of House.


As one of the requirement of the head of house winner to pick a deputy, Big Brother asked Nengi to pick her deputy and she picked Wathoni to occupy the lounge with her for the one week.











Morning Workout


The morning of day 1 of the Big Brother Naija Lockdown got sweaty as Neo, Ka3na and Praise bossed the workout session.


We got a glimpse into who might be the bosses and the followers of the Big Brother Naija Lockdown workouts. At first, Housemates sat on the sidelines, tentatively deciding what to do while watching Neo and Ka3na bust out their dance moves in front of the mirror. It’s safe to say, they can burn the floor.


But after the Housemates warmed up, Praise took over the group session, coaching the ladies and giving sage advice. His efforts didn’t escape the glares of the other men in the group.


Meanwhile, Dorathy got BBNaija fans wagging their tongues for her workout.


Post-workout, Erica and Neo got to know each other a little better. Erica shared her aspirations as a Housemates saying she just wants to get to the end and get the money. Neo then revealed he’s a Cancerian, to which Erica replied: “Usually Cancerians are quiet and emotional. But you’re talkative.”

BBNaija Season 5 Opening day


The Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 5 started on 19th July, 2020 with the introduction of 20 new housemate which will be featured in the show. The housemates are;
