After 78days Of Dramatic Activities EFE, Bisola & TBoss Emerged Winners Of BBN
After 78 days of dramatic activities in the Big Brother Naija
(BBN) house, the lifestyle reality show came to an end, Sunday night, with
Delta State contestant, Efe Ejeba winning the coveted prize of N25
million and a Kia Seranto SUV.
Efe,
an upcoming rapper and last man standing on the show beat fellow finalists –
Bisola, TBoss, Debie-Rise and Marvis – in a tension-filled finale that had fans
of the show canvassing vigorously for their preferred housemates.
The
24-hour three-month long
live show which commenced recording in Johannesburg,
South Africa on January 22, 2017, with 12 housemates who were later joined by
two others, and another two but fake housemates, climaxed in glamorous live
performances that had DJ Neptune, music artistes Innocent Idibia, aka 2Baba,
Tiwa savage and Emmy Gee, throwing up so much vibes amidst pomp.
While in the house, Efe, who is the youngest contestant – aged 24 – was unique
for his frankness, multiple-term as Head of House, and his common use of pidgin
diction with jokey phrases.
A graduate of Economics from the University of Jos, Plateau
State, the self-acclaimed ‘street’ boy, who was one of the usually nominated
housemates for possible eviction, had, each time, led the vote chart.
Female housemate and multi-talented entertainer, Bisola, was
a high contender for the prize. She told Big Brother in a Diary Room session
earlier that win or lose; “I feel like a winner already.” She noted that it
took her eight years to be selected as a participant, and believes the show
will impact her career greatly.
Big Brother who expressed optimism for her talents admonished
her in a touching way, as she fought back tears. It was the most emotional last
Diary Room session.
He said: “It’s been an amazing experience having you in the
house – your versatility, your incredibility. Yes, there have been moments you
have told big Brother that certain things you have done and may have said, that
you wish to take them back; but who can judge you, except they have been
through this experience themselves. It’s always good to find out why people do
what they do. That curiosity leads to understanding, and understanding opens up
the human souls to compassion, and compassion is the cornerstone of love. For
there is no guilt in humans, all there is, is love. Bisola, as you leave
tonight, may genuine love find you. May you prosper beyond your imagination.
You are a gold fish… you are a gold fish; there will be no hiding place for
you. All the good things will locate you. You can sing, you can act… the
question is not what can Bisola do? It is what can’t Bisola do? Big Brother has
truly enjoyed your stay in the house and wishes you all the very best in your
future endeavor. You’ve got a Midas touch, go touch anything a d it will turn
to gold. Good luck to you…”
2Baba opened the show, singing his latest song, ‘Holy Holy’,
followed by Mavin Record’s First Lady, Tiwa Savage with ‘Key to the City’. When
Emmy Gee climbed the stage featuring AB Crazy and DJ Dimplez, they sang ‘Rands
and Nairas’. Tiwa Savage returned one more time to the stage, doing the medley,
‘Romatic’ and ‘All Over’, while 2Baba closed the performances with the classic,
‘African Queen’.
It was a live crossing show, with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu hosting
the South African studio leg, while former BBN winner, Katung Aduwak anchored
the live broadcast from the Lagos screening center, the Classique Event Place,
Kudirat Abiola Way, Ikeja, with fans of the show, sponsors, Nigerian media and
past contestants of the show.
Marvis was the first to leave the house. When asked if she would want to
further her relationship with Efe, she became evasive. Marvis’ exit was
followed by guitar girl Debie-Rise who had disappointment written all over her.
Asked where her heart belongs between Efe and Bassey, she noted that although
it was natural to get attracted to one or two person, “But I really like
Bassey.”
It was jubilations at the Lagos screening center when TBoss
was evicted, just as the crowd at the Johannesburg studio where sort of booing
her. She had been the most controversial housemate, noted for a beautiful body,
full of tattoos and piercings which she displayed at will. The internet was
abuzz last week when it was said that the Nigerian-Romanian housemate could not
recite the National Anthem. She, also being the reason Kemen was disqualified
from the show. However, she was declared overall winner of Friday Payporte
arena games with a voucher of N500, 000 for shopping.
Presenting another side-laurel; the ONE campaign prize, won
by Bisola was Honorable Desmond Elliot and Sarah Makka. She will be joining
organisers in New York to speak further at the United Nations Assembly on
educating the girl-child.
When Efe was declared winner, it was clear Bisola was the
first runner-up.
Previously evicted housemates include Miyonse, Soma, CocoIce,
Gifty, Uriel, ThinTallTony, Bassey, Balley, and Kemen, who was disqualified for
breaking the rule of the game. They were all present at the Lagos live
screening.
In the last three months, Big Brother Naija was estimated to
be the most watched show on the African continent, shutting down Instagram,
Facebook and Twitters with trending issues on a daily basis.
