Frodd emerges Winner of The Arena Games on #BBNaija Day 68
Sore Tales
Team Legends mourn their loss to Team Enigma in another Wager Task.
Where there are winners, there will also be losers. Team Enigma are basking in the joy of another victory, but team Legends aren’t taking it so well.
Teary Venny
A hurt Venita couldn’t keep the tears from flowing as she found comfort in Seyi’s arms. At first, it seems like it was her team’s loss that got to her, but as it turns out, it was more than that. Her complain to Seyi about Frodd and Omashola made it a lot more obvious that she wasn’t pleased to be in the team she was. It was like watching all the cool kids play and you couldn’t join them and watching them win, made it worse.
The Target
Venita also found Mercy gloating as they were announced winners a bit too painful to bear. Assuring her, Seyi responded that she wasn’t the target of their chants, but Tacha. “Tacha is the main person Mercy and Diane were gunning for,” he explained. “I would have loved to shout too after what happened today, but because of you, I kept my cool,” he said while trying to calm her.
The Lamentations of Omashola
The reality of the punishment team Legends is about to bear dawned on Omashola and he ended up lamenting to Mercy and Ike. What makes his predicament a whole lot worse is that not only does his team have to bear the punishment from losing last week Wager Task, they now have to bear additional punishment for losing this week’s Wager Task. Certainly, tough times await Omashola and team Legends. Maybe it was a good decision he made, burying his sorrows in a bottle.
Take a look at how it all went down:
Memorable Quotes From The Pepper Dem Gang
You know those lines we drop and we don’t know someone kept a record of them? Well, here are those memorable quotes from the Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Gang.
Be it in their mundane conversations or during a heated moment, Housemates have said things that have made us pause and think. While some were downright funny, others were not. Let’s take a look:
“Charity for who?” Cindy
The not so new Housemate showed us that she had no chill when it came to money matters in the House. The statement was made when the other Housemates were planning to donate the Innoson car to charity. Well, she cleared the Housemates on this one.
“If I decide to have your daddy, I will have him in a day, ” Diane
The playful side of Diane was shown during a conversation with Esther, Seyi, Frodd and Sir Dee when she told other Housemates not to underrate her as she was capable of snatching the resident sugar daddy. ?
“Throw away the diaper,” Elozonam
Elozonam might look calm but when it’s time to increase the heat, he brings it on full volume. This side of him came out when he and Frodd got into a quarrel about the cashew nuts that came with the Wager provisions.
“Everything is not hustle to me, I value brotherhood, “Frodd
Also called slow tiger (we wonder what kind of a tiger is slow), Frodd has always been a Peppery Housemate who doesn’t hide his emotions at any time. He has some colourful quotes to his name and one which stands out is this one to Ike concerning the Veto Power decision Ike made when he Saved Omashola. Frodd who admitted that he will take bullets for Ike was quite ‘shook’ about his Igbo brother’s choice.
“F**k that ice cream my n*gga,” Ike
Spoken like the true gangsta he is. Ike dropped it like it’s hot in the quarrel he had with Seyi over ice cream after one of the Saturday Night Parties. The quote didn’t die there as Ike’s team etched the phrase on one of the costumes made for the OPPO Runway Task. Talk about cursing becoming creative. In that same conversation, Ike said: “Even God has a hard time controlling me.” Gangsta of life, after you, na you.
“You know what I mean?” Khafi
Yes, baby, we know what you mean. Almost in every conversation, this Big Brother Naija Housemates has had, the question pops out and while we might like to believe that this is an unconscious thing, we hope someone in the House won’t cut her short one day with a dicey reply.
“You feel me?” Mercy
Lamborghini Mercy, anytime, any day you are felt so we don’t think you need another person to tell you so. You feel me? oops?
“You know what I mean?” Mike
Okay, we don’t know if this is a thing people who have lived abroad have, but Mike we know what you mean most times.
“I no dey okay oh” Omashola
King of the Diary Room and proud representative of Whafi kingdom has also made some remarkable comments in the Big Brother Naija House. The Pepper Housemate who seizes every opportunity to chant “Warri… streets” displayed some drama when his Bet9ja Coins were stolen in the House. In a moment of unrestrained anger, Omashola ranted to all within hearing shots that ” I no dey okay oh” This was not only a warning to the Housemates but to us too because whenever we look at Omashola, we shall remember him as that Housemate who put it out there that he isn’t alright?.
“Your village people are the cause of your problem,” Seyi
Sucre papito gave it to Ike during the quarrel over ice cream and we wondered if Ike’s village people also made their way into the Big Brother Naija House and we didn’t know about it.
“Tacha, Tacha, Tacha,” Tacha
This was Tacha’s response to Ebuka’s question: “What are the characteristics of a winner?” Not only did the other Housemates remember her response, but people outside did too, as that response trended and the word ‘Tacharistics’ was coined. That’s not all as she is fond of saying “listen to me, I will be here till the 99th day even if I sleep all day”. Well-spoken Ma, time will tell.
“If I set my compass on you, Khafi does not stand much of a chance,” Venita
Oshey, worldwide traveller and compass expert. This was Venita’s words to Gedoni and while this may show how determined the babe is, it didn’t escape us to take note of this gbas gbas gbos moment from Venita.
There you go, which Housemate quote will remain evergreen in your minds?

Just like everybody in the Pepper Dem House, Mercy loves to win but this is not always the case as you lose some and you win some. Here’s what khleorozy tells Lambo.

Intercontinental Accent
Thanks to twitter, Mercy’s accent has been term Amerigbo, a fusion of American accent and Igbo speak. We wouldn’t be surprised if this finds its way into the Oxford English dictionary.
Mercy’s amerigbo accent is something I can’t even get used to ???
“Ama fuck them up” #bbnaija

As we have found out, it’s never silent on the streets of twitter when it comes to Mercy. Well done guys!
Mike, Tweeps’ Favourite
You can never get tired watching Mike do his thing in the House and Twitter is always happy for it.
How can you have a guy like Mike in the Pepper Dem House and not have Twitter lit with discussions about him? Funny, blunt and lively, Mike practically lives on Twitter as you, tweeps, won’t stop talking about him. Well, we can’t blame you, the resident cruise president has got a whole lot of moments that even you will tire to capture. But, not to worry, here are a few of them.
Remember how Mike rocked the act of kindness challenge where acting like a woman hairstylist, he made Esther’s hair. Yes, that got talking.
Mike should just open his own salon ? I’m impressed #bbnaija #DarlingBBNaijaTask #findYourbeautiful pic.twitter.com/SEWEpDoXO7
— ZEE #MIKE&KIM ?? (@KimOprahBBNaija) August 28, 2019
During the Pepsi Know Da Lyrics challenge, Mike effortlessly earned himself the MC Oluomo title. His struggle to correctly pronounce the name in one of the songs they practiced made the title stick to him. And since then, he is usually excited whenever the song is played in the House.
Mike’s mood anytime he hears I go call MC Olumo for your case.. #BBNaija pic.twitter.com/V0BHkmFAOI

When you felt the cameraman man did not give you enough view on Mike, you were like:

Did Biggie send them on an errand? #BBNaija pic.twitter.com/gsruNJUrie

When things got heated between Frodd and Mike, you said this:

Also, Mike wanted to know what went through Tacha’s mind as she and Seyi left the House during their fake Eviction. Mercy later said that Tacha’s response was epic. Again, Twitter won’t let that slip through too.
Mercy – I walked in Mike and Tacha was having a conversation
Mike asked her how did she feel when she fake Evicted , she said she was happy to go home to her family to people that love her
Mercy – I just walked in and out ..that Answer was Brilliant

A moment with Mike in the Big Brother House is indeed a memorable one. You Twitter users know this, so why won’t you keep tweeting?
Frodd Rescues To Victory
As the fastest Housemate to finish the fire service challenge, Frodd emerged winner of the Arena Games.
With a whopping 2 million naira up for grabs, it was a fight to the finish as the Pepper Dem Gang dashed for the win at the fire service designed Friday Arena Games.
The Truck Travel
The challenge which was divided into three stages saw the Housemates push a mini fire truck from one part of the field to another and make the accompany siren sound without lifting the truck off the ground. After solving the envelope puzzle, the truck was returned to the fire station.
The Rescue
The three phases included knocking the fire cups off the table with a water pump, picking up the lost cat from the tree trunk and returning it into the cat carrier. The final challenge was solving a word puzzle.
The First Attempt
Khafi was the first Housemate to step into the fire service officer’s shoes. In a Game of time and accuracy, she tried her best to navigate each step within the given pace. The time given was five minutes and if she had done it wrong or not finished on time, she deserved a penalty. Though she had a problem with the first phase of the challenge spending much time there, she still managed to finish in one minute 35 seconds.
The Penalty
For some reasons, some of the Housemates broke the rules. Trust Biggie, each person got additional times to their finishing time. What this meant was that if you had only completed the Task the fastest but got the puzzle wrong, you got extra times. While all other Housemates got penalized with 30 seconds, Mercy got two minutes 30 seconds and Tacha and Diane got 1 minute each.
A Sweet Win
Though nobody got the puzzle right, Frodd stood out as the fastest Housemate to finish the challenge even after the extra 30 seconds was added. For this reason, he was declared the winner of the Bet9ja Arena Games.
A Twist
Just when Frodd was already expecting to receive his 400 Bet9ja Coins, Biggie struck with a twist – no Bet9ja Coins reward for the winner tonight! As expected, the look on Frodd’s face showed he wasn’t happy with the judgement. But what could he do? Biggie knows best.
Reward or not, Frodd has shown his determination for a win and has done well with this one. Congratulations man! We hope he keeps up with the win.3BB
