BBNaija 2020: Ranking DJs Who Played At Saturday’s Parties So Far
This year’s season has seen some of Nigeria’s most celebrated Disc Jockeys turn up at the Saturday night live parties. The traditional Saturday nights are always an avenue for the house mates to unwind, merry and have fun.
These guys get to show us their dancing skills and sometimes various dance moves, whats a party without an outstanding DJ? Well this year’s season has seen some of Nigeria’s most celebrated DJs turn up at the Saturday night party.
As expected, some of them have blown our minds and improved on their craft while for some, it is our prayer that they don’t face any technical difficulties in future appearances.
Here, we have ranked them according to how they had performed at the Saturday night live party in the lockdown house.
SARZ: Sarz was the first DJ to entertain the rooky house mates at their premier Saturday night party from the moment he took over the turn tables, the errors kept occurring. It was a struggle for the house mates who wanted to experience their first party in the famous Big Brother house. That Saturday will remain one of those days Sarz won’t be sharing with fans in future or in his biography or autobiography.
DJ Obi: DJ Obi took charge of the fifth Saturday night live party with a lot of expectations from fans and even the house mates. From the first hour of the night, DJ Obi kept everyone in the house including viewers at home dancing.
Things took a sodden turn after singer Chike gave an outstanding performance. It felt like the DJ lost his Mojo. This was evident as the course mates stopped dancing and started chatting like it was a cocktail dinner party.
DJ Obi received a lot of backlash on social media over his awful performance this did not go down well with viewers who stayed up late to watch one of the major highlights of the reality TV show.
He however, took to his social media account the following day where he pointed accusing fingers at the organisers for his poor performance.
DJ Crowd Kontroller: DJ Crowd Kontroller was the fourth Disc Jockey to entertain the house mates. When it was announced that he was to be the fourth D2, it was expected that the house mates were going to have a swell time.
The Beat 99.9FM DJ rend the body language of the house mates and created an atmosphere for them to have fun. He also got a lot of kudos on social media that evening for his performance.
Even those who didn’t join in the party at the initial stage like Lucy couldn’t hold back as she danced to the melodious tunes of the DJ.
Just like his name implies, he was able to control the house mates all night with the array of his play list. He also got a lot of kudos on social media that evening for his performance.
DJ Consequences: DJ Consequence is one of Nigeria’s most prominent and arguably one of the best DJs from this part of the world. He always comes to any party prepared. From his antecedents in the previous seasons of BBNaija, it was obvious the house mates were going to have great evening.
We have seen DJs wow the housemates with their exceptional performances, but the Lanky DJ came with a playlist to match the energy of the house. He only made it to the second position this time around because some one was to be in the second position.
DJ Big N: DJ Big N is the biggest DJ so far. It was simple, he had a point to prove which was that he now became not a label DJ, but a force to reckon with. From the moment the housemates go to the party arena for the second Saturday night party the chubby DJ did not even give house mates a breathing space as he hit the party with his play list.
It got to a point people were wondering if there were any songs that the mavin records DJ didn’t sample. So good was his list performance that the host Ebuka Obi Uchendu had to twit about it. The Benevolent DJ of the birthday celebrant of the night, Prince, a cake.
Spotify yesterday revealed a significant surge in heartbreak song streams in Nigeria during the Valentine’s Day season, with a 626 percent increase between 2022 and 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos, Nigeria by Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa Phiona Okumu.
Okumu said, “Spotify data reveals a surprising trend, a massive surge in heartbreak song streams.
“Nigerians are turning to their playlists to express their emotions, with a staggering 626 per cent overall growth in heartbreak streams from 2022 to 2024.
“This Valentine, the sound of love is accompanied by the sound of heartbreak, and the data shows it’s louder than ever before.”
She said on Valentine’s Day, most surprisingly, male listeners streamed heartbreak songs at a significantly higher rate than female listeners, with a 362 per cent increase compared to 169 per cent among women.
“This could suggest that men resonate with the feeling of heartbreak more and turn to music as a private outlet for processing emotions.
“Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, when love is in the air, so is heartbreak and Nigerian men are pressing play on their pain more than expected.
“While Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with grand gestures, heartbreak is a common theme on Valentine’s Day -more than what’s publicly shown,” she said.
Nigerians will join their counterparts across the world to mark the 2025 Valentine’s today.
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has joined MLS side San Diego FC’s ownership group as a club partner.
SDFC announced today that Tems joined the ownership group through her company, The Leading Vibe.
In the process, Tems became the first African woman to be involved in MLS ownership.
“We are delighted that Tems has joined San Diego FC as a club partner,” SDFC chairman Sir Mohamed Mansour said in a statement.
“Tems is a globally significant artist who will help us reach new audiences and spread the word about our unique project, which, of course, has its foundations in sub-Saharan Africa through the unique Right to Dream organisation.”
Reacting to her addition as the latest partner in SDFC’s ownership group, the singer said: “I am thrilled to join San Diego FC’s ownership group and to be part of a club that celebrates creativity, culture, and the power of community.
“Football has a unique way of bringing people together, and I am excited to help build something special in San Diego, a city that thrives on diversity and innovation.”
Fashion and beauty entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani, has claimed she is enduring back pain and that her spine is degenerating.
Lawani revealed this in a video posted on social media last Tuesday.
In the clip, she opened up about her experience with epidural anesthesia, an injection administered to pregnant women in the spine to reduce pain during childbirth.
The mother of three claimed that since receiving the injection, she has not felt like herself.
She accused doctors of not fully informing women about the long-term side effects of epidurals.
According to Lawani, she received the anesthetic injection during the birth of her last two children.
She said, “When you hear ‘epidural,’ run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body. I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having.
“Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine. I go paralyzed. I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.
“They will not tell you because you just want the pain to go away. I have had two epidurals. I had my first as natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had epidural because I had to undergo a surgery and I had no choice.
“See, the pain does not stop. My back is killing me and my spine is degenerating.”
