All the Inside Scoops, Tega Drama & the Ultimate Show-Down In the Tenth Episode of ‘The Buzz’
Week 6 in Big Brother’s house was full of drama, with 88% of the house up for possible eviction. The housemates tried to shine the brightest and entertain the hardest, and it all paid off for the viewers. As usual, Toke Makinwa and her guests were on hand to break down the week on Saturday’s edition of The Buzz on Showmax.
This time around, ex-BBNaija housemate, Prince Nelson Enwerem, joined Toke. Blogger Foluke and ex-BBNaija housemate Nelson Allison were also on the show. Prince, her first guest, immediately dove into the scenes from the week’s recap, saying it gave him a sense of deja vu. He told her his set (the Lockdown gang) played similar games, and it just took him back there.
He also added that the seclusion in the house makes it easy to couple up. However, the former HM thought some of the ships this year look like they were deliberately engineered.
The Moving Ships?
As always, the Shine Ya Eye housemates left us dazed and confused about what directions their ships were moving in week 6. Thankfully, Toke, Prince and blogger Foluke (Jejenaijagram) helped us navigate the waters with the help of recap clips from Big Brother.
Foluke dove straight into the discussion. She said that the ships were becoming more confusing each week. Toke gave the breakdown – “Cross likes Saskay, who likes Jaypaul. Now Jaypaul still kind of likes Jackie B. Jackie B is with Michael. Michael is Peace’s crush, but Peace seems to still like Cross.”
Foluke said she feels like Michael is a playboy, but Toke wanted her to clarify if she meant ‘play’ or fuckboy? Prince disagreed with the ‘fuckboy’ analysis, but he thought he should have asked Jackie to be his girl instead of assuming. They all agreed that Saskay is beginning to like Cross, but Cross isn’t putting in the work to prove that he likes her too. Toke said, for selfish reasons, she wants Cross to remain single so that he won’t lose his vibe, and ultimately, his game.
They tried to break down Peace’s game, saying that she’s hiding. They called her out for using the information the housemates tell her to reinforce her relationships with other people.
Every Week 6 ‘Gbas-Gbos’ in Five Minutes
They were joined by BBNaija ‘Pepper Dem’ housemate, Nelson Allison, to discuss the most notable fight of the week – Boma and Angel’s throwdown.
They started by heaping praise on Yousef for the way he dealt with his missing Abeg cash. They said he handled his confrontation with Angel with such decorum and gentlemanly mannerisms. They all agreed that they were looking forward to finding out who the real culprit is.
They moved on to Boma’s rather disgusting statement about Tega’s vag*na and how it led to the blowout with Angel. Pere revealed during a game that Boma told him that Tega’s vag*na was like a ‘flabby fish fin’. Tega then discussed it with Angel and Queen -both girls had also gotten physical with the 35-year-old. This led to Angel calling Boma a “kiss and tell” and resulted in their fight.
Nelson began the conversation by saying that Boma’s statement was too disrespectful. They all agreed that Boma’s actions were rude and cringe-worthy. Prince said the eventual fight was a lot. He added that Boma took it too far by mentioning her family and sensitive things about Angel, such as her mental health.
The Stand-out Moments
Nelson and Toke believed that Saskay would have preferred to go into the Showmax lounge with Cross instead of JayPaul. This then led Nelson into a mild argument with Foluke about whether or not Saskay is confused. Toke quickly took them away from that conversation and on to Tega and how she was handling her slip-up with Boma.
Toke believed that she wasn’t even concerned about what her husband would think as much as she was about what Nigerians would think about her. She said this made her believe that there was more to what Biggie showed us happening under the sheets with Boma.
As usual, Toke ended the show by asking her guests who their MVP for Week 6 was, and everyone had a different choice this time around. Nelson said Cross was his MVP because he has energy, is carefree, and is entertaining.
He added, “He’s not trying to entertain you. He’s just like this is me o. Take me as I am”. Foluke chose Angel because she likes that people are constantly talking about her.
She said, “She’s entertaining. Angel’s not trying too much. And I like how she held her own in that fight with Boma.”
Prince chose Whitemoney because the latter is always trying to keep the house bubbling. Toke then rounded up by choosing Queen because she liked that she was forthright with Angel about prejudging her and apologised.

CNN African Voices Changemakers this week beams its light on celebrated author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The 30-minute magazine programme is sponsored by telecommunications company, Globacom.
The author was engaged by the show’s anchor, Larry Madowo, at Nsukka, where she spent her childhood at the same staff quarters of the University of Nigeria, where the legend of literature, Chinua Achebe, lived.
Arguably Africa’s most prolific contemporary writer, Adichie’s compelling story of grit and talent promises to inspire the audience, as it does her readers across the globe. The special package premieres on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with rebroadcasts on Sunday, September 21, at 3:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; Monday, September 22, at 3:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.; as well as the following weekend, Saturday, September 27, at 7:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.; Sunday, September 28, at 3:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; and Monday, September 29, at 3:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.
Her narratives, beginning with Purple Hibiscus, query stereotypes, re-evaluate identities, and honour African traditions. Her two prose offerings, Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, as well as Dream Count, the new one in the works, confirm her deep interests in the values that make Africa and its traditions and cultures unique and relevant in a fast-evolving world. Her books also accentuate feminism, heritage, and authenticity.
Globacom’s continued collaboration with African Voices has further given credence to the programme’s celebration of the African essence, its excellence, talents, creativity, and originality.
MultiChoice’s plans to reorganise its operations in preparation for its deal with French media giant Canal+ have become unconditional.
According to Multichoice, the implementation of the various steps of the process will now start.
“As previously advised, the reorganisation is to be undertaken in order to enable the implementation of Canal+’s Mandatory Offer for Multichoice, and forms part of the conditions imposed by the South African Competition Tribunal when approving the Mandatory Offer,” it said.
The mandatory offer is Canal+’s move to acquire all the issued ordinary shares of MCG not already owned by the group, excluding treasury shares, from MCG shareholders for a consideration of R125.00 per share, payable in cash.
The South African Competition Tribunal approved the proposed transaction, subject to agreed conditions, in July 2025.
As the parties previously disclosed, the agreed conditions include a robust package of guaranteed public interest commitments.
The package supports the participation of firms controlled by Historically Disadvantaged Persons (HDPs) and Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises in the audio-visual industry in South Africa.
This package will also maintain funding for local South African general entertainment and sports content.
The reorganisation process will see Multichoice adopt a takeover structure, which will ensure it meets the requirements of all applicable laws, such as restrictions on foreign ownership and control of South African broadcasting licences.
The structure includes Multichoice (Pty) Ltd (previously referred to as ‘LicenceCo’), which contracts with South African subscribers, being carved out of the Multichoice Group and becoming independent.
The Multichoice/Canal+ group would own 49% of this company, with 20% voting rights, aligning with regulatory restrictions on foreign control of licences.
The rest of the control of LicenceCo will be held by various groups, including Phuthuma Nathi Investments Limited, 13th Ave Investments Proprietary Limited, Identity Partners Itai Consortium Proprietary Limited (IPIC) and the Multichoice Workers Trust.
These groups entered into several transaction agreements on 1 August to achieve this.
Under the agreements, the groups will subscribe to various classes of shares in LicenceCo, giving different economic and voting interests.
The group said that an updated timetable for the offer will be published once the implementation of the reorganisation has been concluded.
