  • Even if you’ve been living under a rock, chances are you have heard of the Big Brother Naija Lockdown Reunion, which has been taking place over the last few weeks. The reunion episodes are meant to walk us through the drama, emotions, and shenanigans that the Big Brother Naija contestants went through during their time on the show and after. Let’s just say they have been heavy on the drama.

    Today, we are ranking the top five most entertaining contestants from the Big Brother Naija lockdown reunion show. These five contestants have had us on the edge of our seats for the entirety of the reunion episodes either through their dramatic reveals, their willingness to spill tea, and sometimes, willingness to physically throw down.

    5. Lucy

    Lucy has been mostly calm for the entirety of the reunion. However, things got a little heated when Ka3na came for her with claims about Lucy not being a good friend. What secured Lucy’s spot on this list has to be an argument with Kaisha that turned physical when Kaisha threw a pillow at her and she decided to beat the living daylight out of Kaisha. By the time they were separated, Lucy’s wig was in her hand, which she waved threateningly at Kaisha.

    4. Tolani Baj

    Tolani Baj came into the reunion with big bad bitch energy. Her rants, however, haven’t quite given the same energy. She has made for great TV, though, especially as we watched her come hard for Vee, resulting in one of the best one-on-one arguments of the reunion show.

    3. Kaisha

    Kaisha didn’t last very long on the Big Brother Naija show. She was evicted early but somehow has tea on everyone. During her first reunion appearance, Kaisha came in ready to give it to everyone as she pulled receipts to show whenever anyone tried to lie. She checked Kiddwaya when he claimed that he didn’t brag about his family’s wealth in the house. She also checked Neo when he claimed to not have made moves on her. Sadly, Kaisha tried to check Lucy but got her ass beat on national television. We haven’t seen her since. Rumour has it she hasn’t recovered from the fight. We miss her.

    2. Tochi

    For the most part, this reunion has been screaming matches between the contestants and we can’t help but notice how often Tochi gets dragged into them. His arguments are often about very weird issues like wanting to be greeted first by Dorathy or small food rations with Ka3na and Lucy. The longer an argument goes on, the louder Tochi seems to get. Plus his fashion choices have been very interesting.

    1. Ka3na

    Ka3na who was only in the Big Brother Naija House for two weeks but managed to have beef with almost every housemate. No one knows quite how she did it or even managed to retain the passion for all the beef considering how little time was in the house and how much time has passed since then. When we last checked, she had beef with Prince for saying he would never want to sleep with. She then went on to sleep with him to prove an insane point. She also has issues with Lucy, for reasons we don’t entirely understand. She also had an issue with Laycon because he didn’t reply to her comments on social media. For what it is worth, Ka3na has made the reunion worth tuning into every day because of her consistency with giving us the drama we need. ALL HAIL THE BOSS LADY!

  • There’s no other or better way to put it: P-Square was iconic. The musical duo may have split now but back in the day, they gave us hit after hit.

    Today we are ranking a few of their most iconic songs.

    Personally

    This song was what you call a moment. It was essentially a homage to the late king of pop, Michael Jackson, so it involved a lot of Michael Jackson-esque moves particularly from the smooth criminal era. This song – and accompanying video – had more than a few cringe moments but all around it was a bop.

    Miss U Die

    They don’t make bops like this anymore. God will bless whoever broke the P-Square brothers’ heart because that heartbreak gave us this iconic bop. I think this is easily one of their best songs.

    Beautiful Onyinye

    Where Miss U Die is a sad, I-miss-you song and all, Beautiful Onyinye is sort of a celebration of love. I loved this particular era of P-Square because they were sort of sitting at this intersection of pop and RnB and it was so good. I just feel bad for all the girls that were named Onyinye during this era.

    Bizzy Body

    Is this one of the best Nigerian songs from the early 2000s? I kind of think so. It is that good. And I think the best part is that it works as a club banger and a song you listen to and enjoy all by yourself and not many songs are that versatile.

    Do Me

    When I think ‘P-Square’ this is the song that comes to mind. This, I feel, is the ultimate P-Square banger. It is a bop and a half. It is so well-written, so well-delivered and is utterly iconic in every single way. If this isn’t at the top of your P-Square list then you, my darling, are a liar or just lacks taste.

  • Can you guess what the best sport was in Old Nollywood was? It’s husband snatching! Back in the day and apparently till today, it was really easy to snatch Nigerian men from their wives.

    Today, we are ranking some of our favourite actresses who played the hell out of those husband snatcher roles.

    Uche Jumbo

    Uche Jombo isn’t particularly known for play husband snatcher roles but in the absolutely iconic and chaotic movie Beyonce and Rihanna, Uche Jombo made a particularly gutsy move by going for the man who was in the middle of the struggle. Do you know what it takes to attempt to steal a man two women are fighting for? The gall!

    Mercy Johnson

    I don’t think many Nollywood stars have played unwitting husband snatchers quite like Mercy Johnson. The uneducated househelp who somehow managed to bag her oga and chased out the madam that brought her in is one trope that boggles my mind but somehow, Mercy Johnson has become the queen of it.

    Genevieve Nnaji


    In the movie “Blood Sister”, Genevieve Nnaji poisoned her sister just so she could steal her husband and you know what, I stan. The dedication, the focus, the callousness. On one hand, I condemn such behaviours. On the other, go her!

    Regina Askia

    I don’t know how else to say this but Regina Askia is the blueprint. She is the OG bad girl, she made it possible for the other girls to do it. She is the standard and the ceiling itself. While she played a plethora of husband snatching roles that I love, I am obsessed with her role in where she not only stole Tony Umez from his wife, she locked him a groundnut bottle.

  • Onscreen chemistry is one thing Old Nollywood got right. Some actors and actresses just had this thing that left you rooting for them hard even when you don’t think you should be. We decided to rank the top five couples from Old Nollywood that were everything.

    Genevieve Nnaji and Emeka Ike

    I know Tony Umez is everyone’s favourite Nollywood lover boy but for me, the distinction goes straight to Emeka Ike because he often played the poor boy always willing to love with all his heart and give what he didn’t have. And the best part? He did it all without being jazzed even a bit. The movies he and Genevieve Nnaji played love interests were, in my books, some of the best Nollywood romantic dramas and if we ever get a thriving rom-com movie industry in Nigeria, I would still love to see them in something.

    Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Tony Umez

    When I think of this couple, I just imagine Omotola in one of those flowing bubbas while Tony goes off to work angrily even though his wife and life is perfect. The couple always started out every movie stressing the daylights out of me but the good thing about them and the reason they made it to this list, is that the love they display in the final act of the movie tends to always more than makeup for it.

    Rita Dominic and Jim Iyke

    Something about this couple just seemed violent. A lot of Rita Dominic’s early roles required guns, short axes and a lot of violence and so did Jim Iyke, the OG bad boy, so when you brought the duo together, it was like Nollywood Bonnie and Clyde but they somehow made that work. I don’t know how they did but I stan.

    RMD and Stella Damascus

    Before we say anything, can we talk about the beauty overload of this couple? Like wow. This is out of this world. Of all the Nollywood couples on this list, this is the one I have always wanted to adopt me. The beauty, the grace, the confidence, the elegance. And that’s just RMD.

    Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah


    When I think of Genevieve and Ramsey Nouah all I think about is a montage that shows them eating ice-cream in a park or restaurant while Marc Anthony’s I Need You plays in the background. These two are the OG couple who inspired every other couple and it is time they get their flowers.

  • Bread is a common food here in Nigeria. We eat bread with almost everything from spreads to beans to akara and anything that tastes just good.

    But if we had to rank these breads in order of taste and popularity, which one is likely to rank first?

    We’ll tell you.

    6. Coconut bread

    The first time I tasted this, it wasn’t what I was expecting. Sure, it tastes good, but there’s just something about it that made me know there’d be no repeat purchase for me, unless my craving called for it. Also, the coconut kept flaking and just made a mess everywhere. Abeg dear. I cannot be sweeping floor because I ate bread.

    5. Sardine bread

    I honestly feel like this bread promises a lot but delivers very little. Because how can such a large loaf have just a tiny sardine in it? Why not just buy bread and sardine separately so you can enjoy it properly? That’s how I see it sha.

    4. Wheat bread

    Wheat bread will always be that bread I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, it’s very nutritious and works well for dietary needs. On the other hand, the taste is quite a roadblock. But if you get used to it, you’re in for the good life. Take it from me.

    3. Bread rolls

    This for me is perfection. It is exquisite in taste and very appealing. It’s the kind you eat many rolls in one sitting without paying too much attention. A test of self-control.

    2. Banana bread

    This is one good thing that came out of the lockdown. Yes, it has been in existence for a while, but the lockdown just ‘amplified’ it. In taste, it ranks high for me. It’s deeply satisfying to eat, and it bangs hard with yoghurt or very creamy tea.

    1. White bread

    There’s a space reserved for kings and this bread will always be found there. Do you think it’s possible for one bread to have so much fan love and relevance? White bread will always be THAT bread. No other bread comes close.

    Ranked: Chocolate, Red Velvet or Vanilla Cake?

  • I never liked Vampire movies and series. They were always very cringy to me because why are the characters so white? And why do people drink blood? And why is the government not doing anything about it? So, so many questions.

    But I know that a lot of people watch them, so I’ve decided to rank them after watching some parts of some of them, and a lot of discussion with Vampire movie lovers that are somehow my friends.

    6. True Blood

    People say this show is addictive, but that’s all they have to say about it. Not “It’s great”, or “I love it”. Just “It’s addictive.” Does anybody prefer True Blood to any other Vampire show?

    5. Van Helsing

    If you have some time to kill and you’re not too keen on great writing, watch Van Helsing. It’s…just there. But it’s not bad.

    4. Legacies

    Even though it has just two seasons, a lot of people are already talking about Legacies. I’m hoping that they don’t overstretch it and rush the ending. Seeing as it was produced by Julie Plec, the same woman who created Vampire Diaries and The Originals, it’s a possibility.

    3. Twilight

    If you’re a teenager who just fell in love for the first time and likes to dream, Twilight feels like the perfect show for you. Although it’s not a “series’, it’s a bunch of really good vampire movies. Some might think they stretched it too long though.

    2. Vampire Diaries

    People that watched this show might feel a bit cheated that they didn’t get a ninth season. One thing that stands out for many watchers though, is the relationship between Damon and Stefan. Best. Brothers. Ever.

    1. The Originals

    You can’t have a conversation with someone who watches The Originals without them mentioning how handsome and perfect Klaus is. Other characters in this show must be jealous. But nonetheless, it’s a great spin-off from The Vampire Diaries and it deserves its spot at number one.

  • For the past seven days Nigeria has had it’s biggest national scale protest since 1993.  The #EndSARS protest is a peaceful but powerful movement against police brutality in Nigeria, both generally, and specifically by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police.

    In these marches, music is an important tool to keep the people going. This article ranks some of the most popular songs that would keep Nigerians going during protests.

    Note: Some songs on this list don’t have an outright “protest” message. They’re here as “ginger” songs to keep the people going.

    8. 2Face – No Shaking

    My guy na your eye go sharpen because e be like say e don dey happen. Is it really…happening?

    7. Wande Coal – Bumper to Bumper

    This one is here for the nostalgia. When people are getting tired during these marches, just queue this song. You’ll see movement.

    6. Burna Boy – Anybody

    This one is here because of the violence. You know the song, you know the lyrics, so you can see how this could work in a protest, right?

    5. 2Face- For Instance

    2Face talks about how many of the things Nigerians face are swept under the carpet. Someone tell 2Face that we’re not taking that shit from the government anymore.

    4. Falz – This Is Nigeria

    Falz has been a loud and resounding voice for Nigerians during these protests. When he released this song two years ago as an adaptation of Donald Golver’s “This Is America”, it felt like he had captured the entire state of Nigeria in one song. It still feels like that today.

    3. African China – Crisis

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22g0kfW4auc

    A song that talks about government fuck ups? Please increase the volume.

    2. Fela Kuti – Beasts of No Nation

    If you’re going on one of those long walks, and you have twenty-eight minutes to spare, this song is perfect. This list would never be complete without at least one Fela song. He would be proud of us.

    1. African China- Mr President

    This song is number one because we’re currently protesting against police brutality. There are so many things African China said in this 2006 song that are still true in today’s Nigerian society, fourteen years later. Oh..and it’s an absolute jam.

  • Here’s a statement that you can’t disagree to: Nollywood movies are getting better every year. The growth in the quality of production, storytelling and general execution is noteworthy and must be celebrated. On Ranked today, I’ll go back to 2019, the gift that keeps giving, and rate some of the best movies released that year.

    What do you think?

    9. Sugar Rush

    This movie loses points for Banky W’s “beard” and loses even more points for trying to be funny every 5 seconds. It has a nice cast though. But having a nice cast means it could have done way better, so I’m deducting more points for wasting potential.

    8. Love Is War

    Omoni Oboli and RMD would make a nice real life couple, you know. Directed by Omoni Oboli and produced by Inkblot, this political thriller about a husband and wife contesting for the same political post is interesting to watch, although somewhat unrealistic.

    7. The Bling Lagosians

    People say this is the “Crazy Rich Asians” of Nollywood, and I ask “Do you have a problem with that?” Among other solid performances, what stands out for me is Elvina Ibru’s execution of her role as Mopeola. Solid movie.

    6. Nimbe

    I like to describe this movie as “confrontational”. Directed by Tope Alake, it doesn’t shy away from the message it’s trying to pass across: responsible parenting and societal morals. Nice.

    5. Mokalik

    Mokalik, which means “Mechanic”, feels like a documentary, but that’s not a terrible thing. What I like about this movie is that it takes us through the lives of the people it portrays very realistically, visually and even with the use of language. Kunle Afolayan, great job.

    4. The Set Up

    What I love the most about the movie is the cinematography. Nice stuff. It could have had a better story though, but It was good.

    3. Elevator Baby

    First things first, I love the storyline. It’s simple, but it’s new. I like new. A man and a woman meet in an elevator, the elevator gets stuck, the woman goes into labour.

    2. Coming From Insanity

    When you see “Based On A True Story” at the beginning of a movie, the game changes. Well, this true story is captivating as hell. The ending seems a bit “action film”, but it’s a pretty good movie. People don’t talk about it enough.

    1. Living in Bondage: Breaking Free

    Expectations for this movie were high, but it surpassed those expectations. Right from that first scene, I was glued to the screen and there was nothing taking me away. Sometimes, I just randomly say “hmmm Nnamdi Okeke!”

  • I wasn’t a big Runtown fan until I listened to a shitload of his songs for this Ranked. He’s actually got a great body of work, so I ranked his top ten best songs.

    Here you go:

    10. Baby Answer

    “Girl my love for you be like kilimanjarooo…” and then the rhymes that follow. 2014 was a good year. I like that this song has some lowkey highlife vibe. And who was that babe in the video?

    9. Body Riddim

    There’s something about the video of this song that just exudes youthful energy very colourfully. The Darkovibes and Bella Shmurda collab gives the song a nice balance as well. Nothing too loud, nothing too fast, just vibes.

    8. Unleash

    Am I the only one that thinks Runtown sounds a lot like Wizkid sometimes? In this song, he definitely does. Also, why does he like people playing with his hair in his music videos?

    7. Energy

    This song has the energy I feel like I would have if I suddenly hammered $1 million out of nowhere. “Free smoke, free Hennesy…more life to my enemies.” What more do you want?

    6. Bend Down Pause

    Baby just bend down, bend down, pause. Baby just bend down, bend down, pause. Baby just bend down, bend down, bend down, bend down, bend down, bend down, pause!

    5. Lagos to Kampala

    Remember what I said about Runtown sounding like Wizkid? Now, imagine both of them on a track talking about the days of suffering. Wizkid always bodies songs where he talks about his past. Look at Ojuelegba.

    4. For Life

    I can’t wait to use the lines “My doctor say my cure dey on top your body o.” This is an actual love song. Bruno Mars should come and learn work.

    3. The Banger

    I don’t understand a word of what Uhuru guy was saying, but this song is a banger. I should add it to my dance songs playlist.

    2. Gallardo

    Honestly, there’s so much in this song, it could easily have been two songs. But it’s ranked so high because of nostalgia and Davido.

    1. Mad Over You

    This song is right up there with all the Nigerian bangers in the past 5 years. The sound, the lyrics, the video, everything is perfect. It’s definitely Runtown’s best song. I hope he gives us something like this again soon.

  • You’ll find a Nigerian song about everything; politics, food, drugs… everything. On today’s Ranked, I’m looking at Nigerian songs about butts.

    What’s your favourite Nigerian song about butts?

    9. “Lalakukulala” – Oladips ft. Reminisce 

    You’ll probably forget this song is about butts by the time you begin to dance. Nice song. I can’t make much out of the lyrics, but it’s a very nice song to vibe to.

    8. “PXTA” – Naira Marley

    Control the crowd, control the crowd. Marlians come forward, the rest fuck off… and then just a whole lot of twerking. This song’s video is the definition of “Show, don’t tell”.

    7. “Booty Language” – Skales ft Sarkodie

    How do you say booty in your language?

    6. “Bum Bum” – DMW, Davido & Zlatan

    Apart from the chorus, which has a lot of “bumbum” in it, there isn’t a lot that says this song is about butts. In any case though, it’s a good song with the usual Davido energy.

    5. “Bombay” – Wizkid ft Phyno

    This is a fact: wherever you hear the chorus of this song, everyone is singing along. It’s also crazy that this song dropped over six years ago, but you’re hearing it play very clearly in your head.

    4. “Shiga” – Vector

    Vector was such a perv in the video of this song, but I can’t even lie, this song is an absolute bop. There’s also that part where I always bite my tongue “Shebiwolomdepelukinigbangashigari”.

    3. “Rora” – Reekado Banks

    I love how he’s singing about her butt and it sounds like a love song. But I put this song on reply just so I can hear the line “Eledumare give you face in addition to bumbumbumbumbum”. I love it.

    2. “Ukwu” – Timaya

    Fun fact: You can’t say “Ukwu” without your mind playing the beats that follow. Great, timeless song. Timaya knows the work.

    1. “Iskaba” – Wande Coal

    Wande Coal dropped a banger with Iskaba and 2017 knew about it. It always kills me that he tried to pull a Bruno Mars with the video. The song is super dope though. It deserves this number one spot.
