In Biggie’s house, Doyin and Ilebaye are two peas in a pod; they are constantly around each other, so it was no surprise when Doyin fought tooth and nail for Ilebaye last night in defence of her friend’s honour. Doyin was furious at the onlookers who watched Ike ransack Ilebaye’s clothing; more specifically confronting Venita, who she expected more from. Venita, however, took offence at this outrage directed her way and exchanged some heated words with Doyin, which compelled Ilebaye to issue an apology on her friend’s behalf. Day 27: Doyin confronts Venita – BBNaija Ilebaye and Venita have a sitdown Ilebaye approached Venita to discuss Doyin’s harsh words yesterday, telling Venita that she had misconstrued Doyin’s words and pleaded for her to forgive Doyin. Venita, however, was not having it; claiming that Doyin was fond of inciting people against each other. Venita brought up Cross and stated that Doyin was the one that incited Ceec, almost causing a rift between her and Ilebaye over Cross. She questioned their friendship and urged Ilebaye to be careful with Doyin as she was not straightforward. Doyin expresses hurt  Following Ilebaye’s conversation with Venita, Doyin was triggered as she did not appreciate the Gen Z baddie trying to reconcile with the Phoenix. Doyin stated that Ilebaye should not have entertained the “Cross” conversation with Venita, however, Ilebaye said she just wanted Venita to stop insulting Doyin and only approached her for the sake of peace. Do you think Doyin and Venita can eventually put their issues behind them? Source: Big brother Naija

Last night Ike was reprimanded by Biggie for vandalizing fellow Big Brother Naija housemate Ilebaye’s items, While he initially seemed to be unbothered as he even jokingly even called Soma his “brother in strike” and deemed Biggie’s punishment as a dramatic move. Ike had a moment of reflection this morning and highlighted some of his mistakes. Day 26 – 18 Aug: Ike and Soma get a strike each – BBNaija Pere contemplates While chatting with Ike in the bedroom,  Pere looked back on Ike’s actions and stated that he wishes they could take it back. He added that he initially thought Kiddwaya was the culprit and would have loved Venita and Seyi to stop Ike since they were present when Ike threw Ilebaye’s clothes. Pere claimed he would have prompted Ike to refrain from breaking Biggies’ rules if he had been there. Day 26: Ilebaye’s locker gets trashed by Ike – BBNaija Ike, however, said he initially felt like he wasn’t doing anything wrong because he did not physically harm anyone. Ike expressed that he only wanted to get back at Ilebaye for triggering Seyi, so he was shocked when Biggie showed the All Stars what he did. Ike also shared that he worried Biggie’s eyes would be on them following his strike. However, Pere urged him to learn from his mistakes and highlighted that conspiring was allowed, but they must refrain from breaking Biggie’s rules again.

As money week comes to a close, we look at some of the most commonly used words to refer to money. Yesterday, the All Stars snagged a win with their presentation of a new currency, which they named the Stylar. A name that was a play on the Nigerian naira and star. It is also worthy of note that many nations in real life have a history of creating nicknames for money based on cultural references or characteristics. For example, the British pound is often referred to as “quid,” while the American dollar is sometimes called “bucks.” These nicknames not only add a touch of familiarity and uniqueness to a country’s currency but also reflect the cultural identity and history of the nation. Come with us as we take a fun ride, looking through a couple of slang used to refer to money. Day 26 – 18 Aug: Wager win laced with coin drama – BBNaija Bread: One of the most popular staples around the world, bread has, for a while, become a popular slang used to refer to money. This term is believed to have originated from the idea that bread is a basic necessity of life, just like money, which is essential for survival in today’s society. So, next time someone asks you for some “bread,” you’ll know they’re not talking about a loaf from the bakery! Moolah: Moolah is thought to have originated from the Yiddish word “mool” or “mohl,” which means coin. It eventually made its way into American slang and is now commonly used to refer to money. The term “moolah” adds a playful and lighthearted tone when discussing finances, making it a fun alternative to more formal terms like “currency” or “cash.” Day 23 – 15 Aug: Assessing the All Stars’ money week – BBNaija Bucks: The term “bucks” is believed to have originated from the use of deer skins as a form of currency in early American settlements. It became a colloquial term for money and is still widely used today. Referring to money as “bucks” adds a casual and familiar tone to conversations about finances, making it a popular slang term among friends and acquaintances. Cheddar: Another popular slang term for money is “cheddar.” This term likely originated from the fact that cheddar cheese has a yellowish colour, similar to the colour of some banknotes. The association between cheddar cheese and money may have also been influenced by the phrase “big cheese,” which historically referred to someone who held a position of power or wealth. Whatever the case, the term has become one of the most widely used slang for money in a lot of English-speaking countries. Day 23 – 15 Aug: All Stars face an intense wager week – BBNaija Dough: Another popular slang term for money is “dough.” This term likely originated from the idea that money is a necessary ingredient, just like dough is a key component in baking. It is believed that the term “dough” gained popularity in the early 20th century, possibly due to the rising importance of money in a rapidly industrialising society. Additionally, the malleable and versatile nature of dough may have symbolised the potential for wealth and financial success. Cash: Another popular term for money is “cash.” This term is derived from the Latin word “cassa,” meaning box or chest, which was used to store and protect valuable items, including money. The use of “cash” to refer to money became widespread in the late 19th century as economies became more cash-based and the need for a concise term grew. Source: Big brother naija
