Curious about what went down at Biggie’s house last Saturday? Well, get ready for a thrilling update on how it all went down! The Big Brother Naija stage turned into a battleground of clever thinking, creativity, and exciting surprises that had everyone hooked. Whether you saw it live or missed out, here’s a quick rundown that’ll make you feel like you were part of the action.

So picture this: it’s a regular day in the house, and the contestants are going about their business. Little do they know, a surprise is in store. TECNO, one of the show’s sponsors, drops a bombshell – they’re unleashing a challenge bound to blow their minds. Can you feel the suspense building?

Boom! The doors to the Arena swing open, and what greets the housemates is like something out of a blockbuster. The setup is an explosion of creativity and chaos, setting the stage for a crazy adventure. The contestants get split into four teams: CAMON 20 Premier, CAMON 20 Pro 5G, CAMON 20 Pro, and CAMON 20. Get ready for the ride of your life!

Hold on to your hats – the first challenge is a total mind-bender. Two members from each team need to crack open a chest, but here’s the twist: it’s locked up tight with not one, not two, but seven locks! The keys? Well, they’re hidden among a jumble of cubes. The clock starts ticking – they have fifteen minutes to solve this puzzle. It’s a race against time, a frenzy of hands rummaging through cubes, trying to find those elusive keys. It’s like a scene from a movie!

A fierce competition unfolded as the sands of time slipped through their fingers. In the end, it was the CAMON 20 Premier team—Soma, Cross, Ike, and CeeC—that emerged victorious. Their skillful coordination and nimble fingers secured their lead, thrusting them ahead in this high-stakes contest.

But the challenge was far from over. TECNO had another trick up their sleeve, demanding determination and the very essence of creativity. This time, housemates are tasked with creating music videos for Tiwa Savage’s songs: Pick Up, Somebody’s Son, Loaded, and Stamina. Housemates were given outfits matching each song’s vibe and it was game on!!!

Seeing the housemates brainstorming, choreographing, and filming these videos within a limited time was fun. It was a whirlwind of artistry and passion. And you know what? The CAMON 20 Premier team weren’t just good at cracking locks but proved themselves as wizards at creating stunning videos. Their video stood out, blending creativity with determination, earning them the title of the creative champs. And to cap the night was an electrifying Saturday night party,

On a night of mouthwatering display of creativity, it so happened that the housemates were not the only winners. Twenty viewers participating in the online poll and trivia walked away with N5,000 each. If you were not a part of them, don’t fret or think that you have lost out. More chances are on the horizon. You only need to join the conversation on BBNaija All-Stars and TECNO using #BBNaijaxTECNO on Twitter and other social media platforms to win amazing prizes such as airtime and cash prizes.

Understand the client

The client, in this case, is your friend. It’s difficult to draft a good strategy if you don’t know his strengths and weaknesses. Draft a list so you can plan how best to highlight his good traits and sell your friend. It’s basically a marketing gig, and you’re the head of sales, but for free.

Pray

You’re about to venture into uncharted waters that, depending on the results, could soil your reputation. If you believe in a supreme being, ask for their help.

Wear a ring

Once they see you’re taken, the focus will automatically fix on your single friend.

Attention should never be on you

I know you’re a spec, but please, let the brother shine. A rule of thumb is to never out dress your friend. You can’t be a wingman and look like a king who’s just been crowned.

Help your friend exaggerate his achievements

If you can add “working in your mum’s shop” to your marketing executive CV, then you should have no problem doing this. Don’t lie; just be economical with the truth.

Have a funny story on standby

This works best when the story ends with your friend coming to save the day. A good “knight in shining armour” story has worked wonders since 125 BC. 

Know when it’s time to leave

You’re John the Baptist. Preparing them for the coming of the messiah your friend. Your role is not to sweep them off their feet but to prepare the mattress for when he does the sweeping. Once you can see things going well, excuse them and celebrate a job well done.

And when it’s time to abort the mission

On the other hand, everything could be going badly, but because your friend is so infatuated, he doesn’t even notice. Take the initiative and drag him out of there. You need to regroup to rethink the strategy.

This is Zikoko’s guide to what the Naira notes are worth. 

₦1000

The dollar makes a mockery of its value but we’ll take what we can get. It’s also the only note with 2 people on it. Two heads are still better than one.

₦500

It closely follows ₦1000 in value. Okay, maybe not so closely, because this is the biggest value difference among all the notes. It used to be able to buy bread comfortably, but a big loaf is now ₦550. Depending on how good you are at pricing things, you can still get akube shirts with it.

₦200

Legend has it that whenever you want to squeeze money into someone’s hand, this is what you go for. It’s also the most common note to spray at owambes.

₦100

It’s probably the most useful note. It ‘s often the dirtiest too. It can buy garri, pay for okada, and can even come through as offering in church.  I stan a versatile note.

₦50

Popularly known as Waso, short for Wazobia. It used to be enough to buy one wrap of fufu but that can only work these days if you carry a gun with you. 

₦20

Groundnut, sweets, chewing gum and pure water. The four horsemen of twenty naira.

₦10

This is closer to a relic than it is to being a naira note. It used to be enough for pure water but even that is now beyond its reach.

₦5

You’re more likely to find suya in the afternoon than to see a ₦5 note these days. Despite its scarcity, it’s still the most financially deficient note. If I were to give you one ₦5 note every hour, in one month, you would earn ₦3,650. 

Now that you know what the naira notes can and can’t do for you, what about what the naira can do with you? Zedcrest Wealth is equipping its customers with a chance to work with money as opposed to money slaving away in a bank without any valuable interest. Click here to begin.
