BBNaija9: Sooj Wins HoH Challenge; Handi, Kassia, Shaun & Wanni Get Strikes

Published

Sooj of BBNaija 9 Wins HoH Challenge | fab.ng

Sooj had a stellar performance in the BBNaija 9 Head of House challenge. It transformed his week into a triumphant one. He clinched victory with 4 minutes and 32 seconds. This win carries significant weight, as it guarantees Sooj’s safety from the looming threat of eviction.

The victory not only shields him from potential elimination but also unlocks a series of exclusive privileges. Chief among these is Sooj now has access to the Head of House lounge, a private sanctuary typically off-limits to regular housemates.

This secluded space gives Sooj a retreat from the constant scrutiny and pressure of the main house. It allows him to strategize, relax, and enjoy some well-earned luxury during his reign as Head of House.

The Big Brother house witnessed an upheaval as four housemates faced disciplinary action.

Handi, Kassia, Shaun, and Wanni received strikes for breaching Article 16 of the house rules. Big Brother conducted a thorough investigation, ultimately finding the quartet guilty of conspiracy and engaging in discussions about nominations.

This violation occurred despite Big Brother’s explicit prohibition of such conversations following the dissolution of the pair system.

This week’s nomination process mirrored the previous week’s format. Housemates individually wrote down two names on separate pieces of paper, then publicly declared their nominations in front of the entire house. This tense process resulted in nine housemates finding themselves in a precarious position. Anita, Handi, Kassia, Nelly, Onyeka, Shaun, Tjay, Victoria, and Wanni now face the possibility of eviction.

While tension mounts for the nominated contestants, Sooj basks in the security of another week’s immunity as the reigning BBNaija 9 Head of House.

His victory in the challenge ensures his continued presence in the house, free from the stress of potential eviction.

The fate of the nominated housemates now rests in the hands of the viewers. Big Brother has provided multiple avenues for fans to support their favourite contestants. Viewers can register on the official website to cast their votes; download the dedicated app to unlock additional voting opportunities based on their subscription level; or utilize the mobile site to make their voices heard.

As the weekend approaches, the anticipation builds, with at least one housemate destined to bid farewell to Biggie’s house in the upcoming eviction.

Rema on Early Success, "HEIS" Album & Afrobeats' | fab.ng

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema recently graced “The Breakfast Club” with his presence. He discussed his latest musical, “HEIS.” During this candid conversation, the artist delved deep into his artistic journey’ He shed light on the creative process behind his previous album and the inspiration that fueled his chart-topping single “Soundgasm.”

Rema took listeners on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Also, he recounted the meteoric rise that followed the release of his debut EP. This early work, he revealed, served as a catapult that launched him onto the international stage with unprecedented speed.

Notably, the young artist’s swift ascent to stardom defied industry norms. Many believe he should have spent more time “grinding” before achieving such widespread recognition. Despite these expectations, Rema stood firm in his belief that while divine grace played a role in his success, it was his unwavering dedication and relentless work ethic that truly propelled him forward. He painted a vivid picture of his commitment, describing nights that bled into days as he tirelessly honed his craft.

When the conversation shifted to his position within the Afrobeats genre, Rema exuded confidence.

Addressing comparisons to the widely recognized ‘Big 3’ of Afrobeats—Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido—Rema boldly asserted his place among these industry titans. “I’m one of them ones,” he declared, leaving no room for doubt.

The artist went on to emphasize the profound impact he has made on the genre, pointing out that his influence extends far beyond merely creating hit songs. Rema positioned himself as a trailblazer, highlighting his role in elevating Afrobeats to a truly global platform.

For Rema, the measure of an artist’s significance lies not in their age or the length of their career, but in the magnitude of their influence and their ability to create new opportunities for the culture as a whole. He sees himself as a door-opener, paving the way for future generations of Afrobeats artists to reach even greater heights on the world stage. Through his music and his unapologetic ambition, Rema continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible for Nigerian artists in the global music landscape.
