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.

E-commerce Lessons for Scaling Nigeria’s Food Distribution

By Diana Tenebe, Chief Operating Officer, Foodstuff Store
Nigeria stands at the cusp of an agricultural revolution with the ambitious plan to significantly transform its food and agriculture sector through the launch of the $510 million Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ), financed by the African Development Bank and development partners. Fueled by the integration of cutting-edge technologies aimed at boosting food production and ensuring national food security. However, as yields increase, a formidable hurdle remains: the efficient and scalable distribution of this bounty across the nation’s diverse landscapes, often hampered by infrastructural limitations and logistical complexities.
Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy, recently called on Nigerian farmers to prepare for digital and technologically advanced farming methods, emphasising their crucial role in boosting food production and security. Building upon this call for technological integration, and to truly unlock the full potential of Nigerian agriculture and ensure increased harvests translate to accessible and affordable food for all, the sector can draw invaluable lessons from the operational prowess of e-commerce giants like Amazon. Their success in navigating complex logistics and reaching vast customer bases offers a compelling blueprint for transforming Nigeria’s food distribution network.
Amazon’s dominance in the e-commerce realm is underpinned by a meticulously crafted logistics and supply chain system. Their significant investments in sprawling fulfillment networks, coupled with the strategic deployment of technology for route optimisation and real-time inventory tracking, have created an unparalleled engine for moving goods swiftly and efficiently. Furthermore, their optimisation of last-mile delivery, integration of automation within warehouses, and a hybrid approach blending in-house capabilities with shrewd partnerships underscore their commitment to scalability. This intricate ecosystem is designed to handle massive volumes and adapt to fluctuating demands – a crucial capability that Nigeria’s agricultural sector desperately needs.
Translating these principles to the Nigerian context requires a fundamental shift towards building a resilient delivery infrastructure specifically tailored for agricultural produce. This necessitates moving beyond traditional, often inefficient methods and embracing hybrid transportation models that account for varying road conditions and geographical challenges. Imagine a network that leverages a combination of refrigerated trucks for long-haul transport, smaller vehicles for navigating local terrains, and even innovative solutions like riverine transport where feasible. Integrating technologies like GPS tracking for real-time visibility of produce movement and strategically establishing a network of collection and distribution hubs across key agricultural zones can significantly streamline the flow of goods.
Implementing robust systems for real-time tracking of harvests and produce, mirroring Amazon’s inventory management, will be crucial in minimising spoilage and maximizing freshness as food travels from farm to consumer. Moreover, forging strategic alliances with existing local logistics providers, leveraging their on-the-ground knowledge and infrastructure, can provide a vital springboard for building a comprehensive network without starting entirely from scratch.
Beyond the physical movement of goods, the power of data, a cornerstone of Amazon’s success, holds immense potential for revolutionising Nigerian food distribution. Leveraging data analytics can provide invaluable insights into regional demand patterns, allowing for more accurate forecasting of optimal harvest and distribution times. This data-driven approach can help match agricultural supply with consumer needs with greater precision, reducing waste and ensuring that the right produce reaches the right markets at the right time – much like Amazon utilizes data for personalized recommendations and understanding customer purchase behavior. Imagine farmers making informed decisions about planting based on predicted market demands or logistics providers optimizing routes based on real-time demand fluctuations.
Furthermore, adopting Amazon’s unwavering focus on customer convenience and trust is paramount, especially when dealing with perishable goods. Establishing reliable delivery schedules, ensuring the quality and freshness of produce upon arrival, and implementing transparent processes throughout the supply chain are crucial for building confidence among both farmers and consumers. This might involve implementing quality control measures at various stages, providing clear communication about delivery timelines, and potentially even exploring traceability systems that allow consumers to understand the journey of their food.
Finally, navigating the complexities and dynamism of the Nigerian market demands a long-term vision and a high degree of adaptability, mirroring Amazon’s sustained focus and agility in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape. The Nigerian agricultural sector must be prepared to iterate, learn from its experiences, and continuously refine its distribution strategies in response to local challenges and opportunities. This requires a collaborative approach involving government agencies, agricultural organisations, technology providers, and logistics companies working together to build a sustainable and efficient food distribution ecosystem.
By strategically adapting these e-commerce-inspired lessons in logistics, technology adoption, data-driven decision-making, and customer focus to the unique context of Nigerian agriculture, the nation can forge a distribution system capable of efficiently handling increased production. This transformative approach is not merely about moving food; it’s about ensuring that the fruits of Nigeria’s agricultural advancements reach every corner of the country, contributing significantly to food security, mitigating the rising cost of food, and ultimately cultivating a thriving and efficient agricultural future for all Nigerians.
