Almost a year after the housemates left the house, the cast of Big Brother Naija: No Loose Guard reunited with host Ebuka Obi Uchendu for the reunion show. Housemates seized the opportunity to express themselves, set the record straight, and open up about how their lives had been post the show.

They also let off their chests thoughts about each other that they have been harbouring. If you want to know which pairs are still together, who is still dating whom, and who are now in all-out war, keep refreshing this page all through the Reunion season for updates as they unfold.

Here is everything that went down at the BBNaija: No Loose Guard Reunion show:

Episode 1

Chinwe and Zion’s relationship

The Zinwe pair, Chinwe and Zion, entered the house as a couple and occasionally had sex in the house, but before the season was over, their relationship saw multiple fights. One of the first questions that host Ebuka asked during the reunion was about the state of their relationship. Zion.

“So the streets say you’re a single man. Are the streets correct?” Ebuka asked Zion. “They can say that,” Zion responded. But he added that it “doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right. But they can say that.”

In response, Chinwe said, “I’ve always been very vocal about how I felt about my relationship with Zion… We left the house a couple,” but she added that they broke up in December.

“Being outside the house, some things happened… Things that I can’t just put a finger on,” Zion said. He added that he “basically ended things.”

But Chinwe refuted his telling of how their relationship ended. “Zion’s birthday was in December. I don’t live in Lagos. I live in Benin. I came to Lagos. The whole plan was to spend some time with Zion. He is my boyfriend,” he said. She added that they went to a strip club, and they partied, but then he asked her to pay the bill.

“We are done partying. They were bringing the bills, and magically, it was my responsibility,” she said. She said she then decided to pay the bill, but asked him to refund the money. She said he later sent her ₦150k, but the bill was over ₦290k.

On her last day in Lagos, he said he went to a club and didn’t take any of her calls. “I wanted to spend some time with my man,” she said. She said when he got back the next morning, she broke down and blocked him everywhere.

They both agreed that around February, they got back together. But Chinwe said Zion asked her for ₦300k for his website, which she didn’t give him. She added that he later asked her for money again, but after she sent it to him, he ghosted her.

“That was the point I said, look, pick yourself from the floor. Zion has never taken me to dinner. When we go out, I take him out,” she said.

Rhuthee and Dj Flo’s friendship

Rhuthee and Dj Flo entered the house as the pair Floruish, but in the house, Dj Flo made a series of remarks about how Rhuthee was playing the game and her relationships with other housemates.

When Ebuka asked Dj Flo if they were still friends, her response was a very clear no. “No we are not… We had a fallout,” she said.

“When I came out, I heard a lot…about what happened in the house generally. I tried so much not to let that get to me because at the end of the day, we are out of the house. What good would it do, having to blame anybody? I heard things like people constantly telling me, ‘Ooh, Rhuthee is the reason you’re out of the house.’ I refused to address it. But I now realised along the line that she was trying to play a kind of reverse psychology and try to blame me for it.”

DJ Flo added that during a meeting with their manager after they were evicted, Rhuthee accused her of not having her back in the house. “Even when she had quarrels with people, I wasn’t standing up with her. I wasn’t fighting with her. And I asked her a question. You’ve known me for 10 years. You can literally count on one finger how many times I’ve had a full-blown outburst with anybody. I never get myself to that point.”

ICYMI, here’s the trailer for episode 1 of the BBNaija: No Loose Guard reunion:

Episode 2

Wanni and Onyeka fight

After Ebuka asked Wanni for clarity about her situation with Onyeka, who she doesn’t speak to anymore, despite being friendly in the early days in the house, Wanni said that she liked Onyeka in the house, but noticed that she could not “read her.” “She can wake up and decide to give you attitude for no reason. There was a time in the house we slept, we were good, and she just stopped talking to us from nowhere. She said she woke up that morning, and Handi didn’t smile at her… I just let myself go because friendship is not by choice,” Wanni said.

She added that she made other attempts to mend the relationship with Onyeka, including after they left the house, but she didn’t reciprocate. When Ebuka asked her why she thought that happened, she said she didn’t know, but added that Onyeka “made a statement one time, she was like, I am insecure because of big asses. So when she said that, I was like, you’re not even on my level of frequency to even understand the kind of person that I am.”

In defence, Onyeka said that Wanni was jealous. “I came into that house. She was the one that was jelous. I loved her as well,” Onyeka said. She said that Wanni called her out a lot, “saying a lot of things about me.” She also accused Wanni of slut shaming her “while going to call another person, Mrs Mbadiwe…Almost every day, you’re sitting down finding a problem in Onyeka.”

Wanni later said that Onyeka was the one who was jealous that Victoria and Ozee were friends.

Chinwe and Nelly fight

When Ebuka asked Chinwe why she had many opinions about Nelly in the house, including a comment that Zion made to her, implying Nelly was a sex worker, she said that “perception is what you can see.” But she later said she didn’t know where it came from. She added that she wanted to apologise to her and said she was “very sorry for that.” Zion also apologised to Nelly.

Episode 3

Chinwe and Chizoba fight

When Ebuka asked Chinwe why she fought with Chizoba in the house, she said they had a task that involved cooking, and Chizoba’s group had lost some of their utensils. But she said that after she tried to help, Chizoba told her not to take their things again. She added that she later heard Chizoba call her “problematic.”

Chizoba said she didn’t remember the incident well, but she remembers that Chinwe was “rude” to her.

While Chinwe was speaking, she mentioned that she wanted to be the Head of House the week of the incident. Nne, who was the Head of House at the time, interrupted and asked if that was why Chinwe came for them.

Nne’s aunt, Chinne, also jumped in and said it was a big win for them, but that Chinwe would never “smell Head of House.”

Mbadiwe twins influence

When Ebuka asked if the Mbadiwe twins had a strong influence in the house, Femi David said that many housemates felt a certain way about the Mbadiwe twins, but they didn’t want to say it. “Some people were just scared to express themselves. But they were just holding back.” After Ebuka asked Handi why she hadn’t confronted the twins initially, directly in the house when they commented on their drinking, she said she wasn’t “scared of nobody.”

When Ebuka asked Ocee about their influencers in the house, he said, “I don’t think me and my brother came in there doing anything crazy or spectacular. But if people ended up respecting us and feeling like that had respect for the twins, and it changes the way they operate around us, then that’s no problem.”

Nelly said that she felt some housemates were scared to speak. “The way I was seeing it at that moment, I felt like people were actually scared to speak up or talk to them,” she said.

Nne and Chinne’s relationship

When Ebuka asked about the state of Chinne and Nne’s relationship, Nne said it wasn’t great. “Truthfully, both of us are not on the best of terms. A lot of tension happened in the house, but it was when we came out that the main deed was done…Most of the things that happened to us happened after the show. I would rather keep it private,” she said.

Chinne said that Nne had disrespected her. “It’s one thing to stand up for yourself, and it’s another thing to be disrespectful while doing that…She was disrespectful to me,” she said. They both decided not to go into details.

Toby Forge on calling Sooj fake

When Ebuka asked Toby Forge why he called Sooj fake in the house, he said, “I just did not understand him…The vibe was just weird, so I just stayed back.” Mayor Frosh added that he once heard Sooj telling Topher, his partner in the house, “These guys dey worry ooh” in reference to them.

Sooj said in defence, “Don’t take my lingo very seriously. My saying you dey worry can mean a thousand and one things.” But he added that he didn’t remember the incident.

Episode 4

Ben and Tjay’s fight

When Ebuka asked when Ben last spoke with Tjay, he said they had not communicated for a while. “The last time me and Tjay spoke was literally after we came out of the house, and that’s all,” he said.

“Some things do not sit well with me. If I see that the way you’re moving is not what I can handle or what I want, I just take a step back. I just felt me and him is not a friendship I would like to keep…Everything changed when we were separated [in the house]…He said something in his Diary Session. Big Brother asked him, ‘Who is your dynamic friendship in the house?’ and he said, ‘Ozee is the closest to me in the house. He is my best friend.'”

Ben added that he saw a clip where Tjay said they weren’t friends. “Then he said, ‘I felt Ozee was more my friend. Ben was never my friend.’ I just saw that as licking the ass of the Mbadiwe Twins. He actually reached out to me after the show, but I didn’t respond.”

Shaun on saying Kellyrae didn’t entertain the public

When Ebuka asked Kassia what she thought of the video of Shaun saying her husband, Kellyrae, who won the show, wasn’t entertaining in the house, she decided to ask Shaun what he did in the house that they didn’t do.

In response, Shaun said: “As a viewer, and I was watching the show, I would think that Wanni and Onyeka deserve to win. When I came out, I said Wanni and Onyeka based on the content that they’ve done. It’s not personal.

On the topic, Kellyrae said a housemate told him that Shaun had been part of a conversation where they said he didn’t deserve to win. “I want to tell you that [some of the housemates] actually came into the house using your emotions rather than your sense. Talking about entertainment, I was the one singing in the house during the task. At some point, some of you started singing. You copied me,” he said.

He then turned to Nelly and said, “Nelly, you sang. Why did you sing?”

While Nelly was responding to Kellyrae, she revealed that they stopped speaking after the house, even though she said she never said anything negative about him. When Ebuka asked why they stopped speaking, she said, “Obviously, it’s the wife.” The comment incensed Kassia, and they began throwing insults at each other. “The wife had issues with me because you said something that you told me Onyeka told you. You never told me it was your instinct,” Nelly said.

Kassia interrupted to say she told Nelly two things: one, Oyeka told her, and the other, her instinct. Oyeka interrupted and started cursing Kassia out. Kassia cursed her out back in defence.

Onyeka later said during the exchange that a post Kellyrae made on X about a housemate who doesn’t bathe for weeks was directed at her. She also claimed that Kassia and her friend told lies about her over a man.

Victoria and Onyeka fight

After a back-and-forth, Victoria finally got to speak and said she never said anything negative about Onyeka. “Onyeka called me the nastiest names…She even called me a ram with a moustache…I saw the videos…She said the most horrible and nasty things…You can’t sit there and call another person bitter. I gang up on you. When you were the nasty person and said the most horrible things about me. Onyeka, you are a very horrible person,” Victoria said.

Onyeka later said that Victoria connived with Shaun to create a triangle with her and Ozee. “They agreed. Now you come and make it look like you’re the victim. That was your game. Accept it,” Onyeka said.

In defence, Victoria said that Onyeka was the one who created the triangle and would regularly ask her if she was interested in Ozee. She said she told Onyeka to go for him.
