Cross, Emmanuel & Liquorose have a place in the #BBNaija6 Finale | Other Housemates Up for Possible Eviction

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 12:30 AM PDT

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu first announced that the Ultimate Veto Power will come into play this week. So, instead of a nomination show, the Housemates played the Ultimate Veto Power Game.

The game was simply one of points. Each housemate was expected to gather as many points as possible and the housemate with the most points would win the game. If there was a tie, a "sudden death" game would be played to determine a winner.


The winner of the Ultimate Veto Power Game was to be rewarded with:

1. Immunity for this week (automatic ticket to final week)
2. The power to choose the Head of House for the week.

No Head Of House game was played this week and all Housemates were eligible to play the Ultimat Veto Power Game. For the Ultimate Veto Power game, it was a tie between Emmanuel and Cross and they had to play the game of "Sudden Death".

After the game of "Sudden Death", Biggie announced Emmanuel as the winner of the Ultimate Veto Power game. He scored a total of 470 points and is now guaranteed a place in the finale.

Emmanuel was asked to select the Head of House and Deputy Head of House for this week who will also be immune from evictions this week, and must be of opposite genders. Emmanuel picked Liquorose as Head of House and Cross as Deputy Head of House.

This means that Emmanuel, Liquorose and Cross are now guaranteed a place in the finale. The rest of the housemates are all up for possible evictions this Sunday. That's

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has entreated his fans and followers to take action in certain online businesses to make themselves rich.

The famous author who never goes out of nuggets has once again dropped a very brief one listing out some businesses people can engage in to make some tens of thousands of dollars.

He listed earning from making Youtube videos and publishing books and sell worldwide through Amazon amongst others. He concluded that people can sneer at these money-making ideas and have their full concentration on the ongoing reality show BBNaija while remaining poor.


He wrote;

You can buy US shares from Nigeria on the Bamboo platform investbamboo.com

You can lend and borrow money from peers via lending club
lendingclub.com

You can self publish books and sell worldwide via Amazon kdp.amazon.com

You can earn money by asking or answering questions on quora.com (you will need a US or European account).

You can make tens of thousands of dollars monthly via YouTube videos

Or you can just sneer at these money making ideas, while you focus on #BBNaija and remain poor!

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:30 PM PDT

Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye contestant Queen Mercy Atang has lamented over the attitude of her friend, Whitemoney.

While discussing with Angel during late Monday night, Queen was surprised that Whitemoney whom she likes had at one time during the show, kissed their colleague JMK.


According to her, Whitemoney asked her to stop kissing other guys in the house especially Cross, because he's uncomfortable with it. But Whitemoney just told her that he had previously kissed JMK.

Queen told Angel that Whitemoney was not being honest with her and she is beginning to lose trust for him.

Meanwhile Angel explained to her that Whitemoney was just catching cruise with JMK. She even claimed that Mazi told her that he and Cross are the highest kissers in the house.

What Saskay Told Ebuka About Jaypaul, Her Boyfriend And Not Believing Cross

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:00 PM PDT

Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye Housemate, Saskay, who got evicted from the show on Sunday, has disclosed why she didn't believe that Cross was attracted to her while she was in the house.

Hours after her eviction from the show, Saskay had a short interview with Ebuka, where they talked about her relationship Triangle with Jaypaul and Cross while she was in the house.

During the interview, Saskay disclosed that the first person that said he liked her was Yousef, but Yousef didn't want to define his intentions so things between them didn't work out. Between Cross and Jaypaul, Saskay said that Jaypaul was the first person that came to her and made his feelings known. And the more Jaypaul got closer to her, the more she fell for him.


Saskay said that she didn't believe that Cross was attracted to her, and it was Peace that even came to her and opened up that Cross was attracted to her.

Saskay explained that the reason she didn't believe that Cross liked her was that, she thought that Cross was not the kind of guy that would date girls like her, so she never imagined it. She added that it was when Cross came up to her, that she believed he could fall for a girl like her.

Speaking further, Saskay said that her relationship with her boyfriend was over and perhaps, we might see a ship between her and Jaypaul.

During last night's new twist of HOH games, Emmanuel beats fellow housemate, Cross narrowly and ended up being crowned with the Ultimate Veto Power..

When asked by Big Brother to choose the Head of House and Deputy HOH, Emmanuel went ahead to choose Liquorose and Cross respectively.

While discussing with WhiteMoney on why he picked  Cross, Emmanuel said Cross was just unlucky not to win as they first had a tie and even took more balls than him.

In response, WhiteMoney said he wouldn't have been happy with Emmanuel if he had chosen him to be the Deputy and immediately he called Cross, he was happy as he deserved it.

According to him, he liked the way God created him as he doesn't insert his head where it doesn't crack and everything happening to him, it's how God wants it.
