Just because you’ve met someone you like and vibe with doesn’t automatically mean you’re now dating them, but these signs definitely mean the feelings are mutual and you’re about to become a girlfriend.
They’re unavailable
They’re always ready to shout from the rooftops that they’re no longer looking for a special someone and have found all they’ll ever need in your arms.
They start to speak French
For some reason, when people like you, they start speaking French, saying things like “we” when talking about their baby, and broadcasting to the entire universe that they now have a cohort. If the chicken in your pack of small chops does this, congratulations—your single days are coming to an end.
They remember everything you say
Either they have a photographic memory or are down bad for you. Either way, the person you’re talking to remembering and hanging on to your every word is sweet, and they want you to be theirs so bad.
[ad]
You can’t stop thinking about them
Look at it this way: If you can’t stop thinking about them, chances are they can’t stop thinking about you.
You’re a part of all their plans
At this point, everyone thinks you and your baby are twins. They’re always thinking of you and involving you in all their plans—even the ones you don’t really care for.
They become extra sweet
If they suddenly become sweet enough to induce diabetes, showering you with gifts and lovely gestures, you’re about to leave these muddy streets.
They start talking about relationships
You both could be talking about the fact that fuel is now ₦1,300, and they’ll manage to slip in what they want in a relationship and how you’re their perfect match.
Ps: These signs could also mean they think you’re already their girlfriend, so stay vigilant.

Every year, Nollywood churns out some fresh, new talent, and some of the older ones decide to take a back seat. We don’t know what inspires this decision, we don’t know why they decided to keep their talent away from us, but they need to get their act together and return to the big screens ASAP.
Weruche Opia
Weruche came in and wowed the entire country with three films, and shortly after she dropped off Nollywood’s radar and went International. We know this means she’s technically still in the game, but she hasn’t been in a Nollywood production in over seven years, and that’s what matters to us. Weruche needs to come back to Nollywood one more time. We promise we’ll treat her right.
Nkiru Sylvanus
Atlanta Bridget Johnson might be trying to take the town crier spot from our queen, but it doesn’t mean we don’t need her back on our screens. Nkiru Sylvanus moved away from Nollywood to begin her political journey as the Special Assistant on Lagos Affairs to the former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha. She might be in her political era, but we’re sure she can multitask and make her Nollywood comeback.
Blossom Chukwujekwu
We know “The Trade” was released last year, and “I Do Not Come To You By Chance” would be out once our queen gives the word, but we need Nollywood producers to come together and put our king in something before then.
Genevieve Nnaji
After the release of her 2018 record-breaking Lionheart, the queen of Nollywood, has gone under the radar, only coming out for events she deems important and the announcement of her new movie, “I Do Not Come To You By Chance.” We know it might be too much to ask her to actually speak to us, but can she grace our screens again? We’ll take anything, even a cameo.
Hanks Anuku
Now that Nollywood has fallen back in love with fight scenes and the action genre we think it’s time to bring Hanks Anuku back to our screens.
Zainab Balogun
We haven’t seen Zainab on our screens since 2021’s Charge & Bail – those Prime Video releases don’t exist in our world – and we can’t believe she’s decided to stay away from us for this long. Someone needs to bring her back and remind everyone of her talent.

It’s just day 4 in Biggie’s house, and this set of housemates are moving faster than they should. Ships are already forming, someone has found a career in journalism, fights are brewing, and some pairings are on the verge of a break.
Shatoria
This duo walked into Biggie’s house and forgot they came together. They’ve barely spoken a word to each other, and the last we heard, Shaun confided in Wanni about how irritated he was with Victoria. If care isn’t taken, Wanni and Shaun might ask Big Brother to pair them together and leave their current partners to fend for themselves.
Tami
We want to believe they’re not about to let a man come between their friendship and the ₦100 million, but in the last two days, they’ve spoken about how much they like Topher, and they both looked very irritated during the last conversation.

Chekas
They seem to be doing fine, but Onyeka has crowned herself the Gistlover of the Big Brother house, and it’s beginning to rub people the wrong way. If she isn’t careful, Chizoba might soon realize she’s brought an extra load into the house and try to shed it.
DoubleKay
Married in real life but cosplaying besties, these two walked into the house with plans to scam everyone, but their game might just backfire. Kassia is getting wooed by TJay, and it’s just a matter of time before jealousy comes into play and everything crumbles down.
Wanni x Handi
The twins seem to know what they’re doing, but Wanni has started spending more time with Shaun. Given how quickly things are progressing, she might ask Big Brother to pair them together or add him to her current pairing.

If you think your partner is philandering but are unsure, we’ve asked AI for some clear signs to put your suspicions to rest. If any poof these things happen to you, your partner might be a cheat.
Gut feeling
We know you have a weak tummy, and everything makes it feel funny, but not this time. If your entire body is telling you that your partner is on the streets moving insane, believe it and start investigating.
Friends acting suspiciously
If friends start avoiding questions about your partner or even talking about them in general, there’s a big chance they know that the love of your life is up to no good.
Less time together
No one’s saying every couple should spend their entire time breathing the same air as their partner. However, if it begins to feel like your partner is avoiding you and choosing to spend more time with other people, they might be cheating.
Increased privacy
Everyone needs their privacy, but when your baby changes the password on all their devices from your birthday to a random ass number and starts deleting texts and answering calls in hushed tones, you’re allowed to be suspicious.
[ad]
Unexplained absences
If your partner sneaks about like a thief and keeps you in the dark about their movements, chances are they’re sneaking into someone else’s bed or, worse, heart.
Increased criticism or arguments
Arguing with your partner is fine occasionally, but if your baby is always looking for some reason to wage war with you, the supposed love of their life, they might be trying to get you to leave them so they can move on to their real love.
Grooming changes
We’re all for upgrading your looks and changing your style, but if your partner has shown any of the signs above and starts taking extra care in how they look, they might be trying to impress their side piece.

Every year, Biggie opens his doors and takes people into his home. Sometimes, they are well-behaved and just want to find love. Other times, they walk into the house with one plan and one plan only: to cause commotion.
Cee-C
Cee-C ran so that all the other troublemakers on this list could crawl. From snapping the elastic rope on her partner to cussing Tobi for hours on end, Cee-C ruled Big Brother’s house with an iron fist, and we’re quite surprised she was never sent packing.
Chaos level: 20. Cee-C had everyone quaking at the thought of an altercation with her.
Brighto
There’s nothing worse than a behind-the-scenes troublemaker. You would never find Big Brother’s Lord Baelish at the forefront of the commotion, but if you ask the involved parties, they’ll point him and his bad advice out as the genesis of their problems.
Chaos level: 19.5. Not only did he go around starting the trouble, he did it without remorse.
Seyi
He was annoying the first time and wouldn’t let Tacha rest, but the second time? He walked into Biggie’s house with the audacity of 1,000 men and the misogyny of 10,000. None of the girls were safe from his foolishness, not even Venita, who went about defending his actions.
Chaos level: 10. Seyi walked into the house and created a special type of chaos that we’ve never seen before, one that should have led to Biggie’s ninjas pushing him and his bad behaviour out the door.
Tacha
A one-man army, Tacha started the season on her own and ended the same way. Everyone was trying to get her and her confidence out of the house, putting her up for eviction every chance they got. In turn, Tacha swore to show them all pepper, and she did. She won every fight she got into, except the very last one with Mercy.
Chaos level: 10. Only because she had no ally in that house and had to start her chaos from scratch, hold her on with other people, and beat them all at their game.
Pere
We already knew Pere was a problem when he almost finished us with his US army status, then he became Head of House and decided to cosplay as a dictator. His HOH tenures aside, it’s a miracle Pere didn’t pull Biggie’s house down with his anger because his go-to move was to cause chaos, get upset that people were upset by the chaos, and hulk out on everyone. Like the time he punched a hole in the wall to scare Doyin.
Chaos level: 9. We think the spirit of chaos resident in Biggie’s house entered him once he walked through the doors because his behaviour was beyond wild.
Erica
All Erica wanted to do in Biggie’s house was participate in tasks, kiss her baby, and sleep. Obviously, Biggie’s children hate peace, and everyone who tried to look for her trouble got surplus trouble.
Chaos level: 9. Erica was sweet and calm in the house, but the moment someone activated her chaos, shit went down.

Ike
We’re still of the opinion that Big Brother should have locked Ikechukwu up. Every time he stepped into Biggie’s house, all he did was steal, annoy everyone, and cause commotion. During his season, Ike went around stealing and causing chaos. Big Brother opened his doors to him again, and guess what this man did again?
Chaos level: 8.5. His chaos was just his bad behaviour and intrusive thoughts coming out to play.
Mercy
She came into the house for two reasons, to get the money and look like a bad bitch, but woe betide anybody that looked for Mercy’s trouble, especially after the Saturday night parties. She would cuss you out and then tag her man in to continue the job.
Chaos level: 8. It took little for Mercy to drop her accent and show everyone how we roll in Lagos.
Tolani Baj
Her first time in Biggie’s house, Tolani Baj only fought when people tried to play her for a fool or come for her man. Her second time, though?
All you had to do was breathe wrongly in her direction, and she would show you pepper.
Chaos level: 7. Do you know how we know TBaj is a chaotic queen? Half of her fights could’ve been avoided.
Taking the blanket off Ilebaye and Neoenergy and then cussing Ilebaye out was uncalled for and didn’t need to happen.
Angel
In her defense, the only times she threatened to turn Biggie’s house upside down (and delivered on that threat) were when the “adults” Biggie put in his house tried to use their age to intimidate her. Other than that, Angel spent both her seasons minding her business and finding love.
Chaos level: 6.5. She tried her best never to start trouble, but if they brought it her way, she always helped them finish it
Venita
We don’t remember her being such a troublesome Trina in her season, but everyone felt her wrath when she returned for BBNaija All-Stars. From her cousin to her extra close friends to her baby boy, we’re surprised she didn’t share some to Biggie himself.
Chaos level: 6. The chaos was mostly just her screaming the house down and cussing people out. We believe she could’ve added a little more oomph.
Doyin
Like Brighto, Doyin used word of mouth to shake the foundations of her Big Brother’s house. But, unlike him, she never caused the chaos and left. She made sure to remain at the scene of the commotion so everyone knew she was the mastermind.
Chaos level: 6. She did her best, but your best is never good enough in Big Brother’s house of madness and commotion.
Ilebaye
We know older Nigerians can be a lot and everyone likes to form seniority, but Ilebaye almost never waited for them to start before she cried wolf. With the way she kept fighting real and imaginary battles with the housemates, we won’t be surprised if that was all a part of her plan.
Chaos level: 5. Ilebaye put in little effort for maximum results because every time she played the same game, all the housemates fell for it and started displaying their chaotic selves.
[ad]
Tboss and Bisola
They went around causing trouble, mostly for each other and anybody who tried to interfere in their fights.
Chaos level: 4. Two focused queens. They knew they had a problem with each other and tried to limit their outbursts to just themselves and those who tried to put their mouth in their business.
Omashola
He wasn’t a troublemaker as much as he was annoying and loud. He would make comments and jokes about you and your situation, and sometimes, if you didn’t find it funny, he’d escalate the situation and make it a whole thing.
Chaos level: 3. It was good but could’ve been better.

Finding your soulmate and deciding to do life with them is great, but sometimes, the happily ever after life of your dreams you once saw can begin to feel like life imprisonment. If you’re looking to add a little extra oomph to your relationship, look no further. Here’s how to spice up your relationship:
Find new ways to tell them you love them
Image credit: tastyad Tattoo their face on your face, buy a billboard space and announce to the world that your baby is bad, good, and all the other things you may ever need. Don’t just tell your baby you love them; show it, too.
Find something to bond over
Image credit: dagsavisen Watching a new movie or shouting “ozeba” together might be great, but you know what will definitely get you and the love of your life bonding? Running from the police. Get a car, rob a bank, and become fugitives on the run. You will bond over your dislike for the police while enjoying your loot together. If Bonnie and Clyde could do it, you can too.
Get new experiences
Image credit: memes.zikoko We’re not telling you to open your relationship and give your partner and their genitals free reign. We’re just saying you should consider inviting someone else into your bed or tying your partner up and going all Christian Grey on them.
Meet your village people
Image credit: memes.zikoko We know they have a bad rep, but think about it this way: whatever they use to commit all manner of atrocities in your life can also be used to fix your relationship.
Activate your inner onigbese
Image credit: tenor You could owe your partner, your downstairs neighbour, or an elder in your church. Just make sure you take someone’s money and refuse to pay it back. Your relationship will have so much sparks in it that a live wire will be jealous.

Start an affair
Image credit: memes.zikoko Find someone you have intense sexual chemistry with and start an affair with them. Bonus points if they’re also in a relationship. All that sneaking around and back-breaking sex will light a fire in your relationship that will never be quenched.
Go on a break
Image credit: memes.zikoko Sometimes, the best way to keep the spark in your relationship alive is by throwing water on it and calling it quits. This way, when you come back together, you’ll remember how miserable life in the streets is, and your spark will never go low.
