It was yet another Thursday games night on the BBNaija Season 6 show with TECNO and it was a very creative one. As you know, TECNO has been on the Season 6 journey with the housemates since it began and they have not disappointed. With the TECNO Phantom X dolling out incredible pictures of the housemates, who wouldn’t want them to be part of something huge.
As always, the Head of House read the instructions of the task to the housemates and they were excited by what they heard. The task was very unique to the brand as the star of the show was the TECNO Phantom X. The housemates were to create a colorful, exciting and engaging product story with the Phantom X as the main focus.
To achieve the day’s task, the housemates were divided into 4 groups beginning with the Unique Letter X. They were grouped into:
Team Xcellent: Emmanuel, Jackie B, Jaypaul.
Team Xceptional: Angel, Saskay, Nini.
Team Xclusive: Queen, Whitemoney, Liquorose, Yousef.
The task was in two-folds, photos and videos. The Phantom X smartphone was used as props during the shoot and also as the main tool, with the housemates adding a bit of flavor to the mix.
Dressed in their assigned costumes the housemates were tasked to create an exciting product story that reflected the themes of their costumes, while spotlighting the features of the device. It was really beautiful to see the contestants tap into their inner creativity and create beautiful videos with the TECNO Phantom X.
After much deliberation, Team Xcellent claimed the victory, as the best team to create colorful and engaging videos with the TECNO Phantom X. And their reward was a cool whopping sum of 1.5million Naira to be shared among the winners. With all the work they put in, they deserved to be rewarded.
Once done with the videos, the teams settled in to edit their video footages and images into one major product video per team, after which they had to wait painstakingly as their fates were decided.
But the excitement was not done with yet. TECNO had another surprise up their sleeves for their online audience. Fans were asked to vote for the housemate deserving of the title of ‘TECNO Phantom Star’. At the end of the voting period, the housemates with the highest votes, Whitemoney and Liquorose, were rewarded with the sum of 200,000 Naira each. It was truly a night of rewards for creative talents.
It was an all-out fun time with the task and we can’t wait to see what Big Brother will throw at us on subsequent task days
The Saturday night party for the Big Brother housemates was a burst of rich colours and heritage as they rocked the OWANBE theme.
The Shine Your Eyes housemates didn’t joke with this week’s theme and went all out showing the stunning handcrafted outfits representing the different cultures in grand style.
As always, the housemates brought their A-game, with the Phantom X capturing their stunning photos for all to see how extraordinary the Saturday party was for the housemates and the fans.
The DJs (DJ Dayzee and DJ Shawn) playing back-to-back hits got the housemates to the roof while bursting dashing moves on the dancefloor.
The BBNaija weekly Saturday party is always one to watch out for. Join your favourite housemates and learn a dance move or two; as always, TECNO will be there to capture those extraordinary moments.
Tell us, who got the moves last Saturday?
Parties are fun and lit right, but there is no way a party is ever complete without taking amazing pictures – and this what TECNO helped the housemates achieve at the first Saturday night party in the Shine Ya Eyes mansion.
Housemates after taking out time to look their best on the dance floor, gave quality content to their fans via pictures and videos, which were all captured using TECNO’s high-end flagship smartphone, the Phantom X.
There is no way you can doubt that the combination of the housemates’ dazzling looks and the top camera quality of the device gave fans what we can all conclude to be premium content.
TECNO has over the years been giving Nigerians an exciting mobile experience and this cannot be doubted at any point. Just barely a few weeks after the brand launched the premium smartphone, the Phantom X, the brand is sticking to its promise to “Stop At Nothing” to create memorable moments for its audience. And what better way to do this than to light up the BBNaija fun with amazing camera action.
Here are some stunning pictures taken with the extraordinary device from the party on Saturday, where the Phantom X worked its magic.
Whilst TECNO has been pushing the front by continuously upping the game in mobile technology over the years, the brand has also continued to deliver Nigerians with the best of entertainment over and over.
TECNO’s commitment to unlocking the best contemporary technologies for progressive individuals has seen the brand give customers elegantly designed and intelligent products like the Phantom X that would aid in the pursuit of excellence. But the brand is also commited to build extraordinary moments and it is safe to say that there would be more extraordinary moments captured by the BBNaija housemates using the Phantom X.
Don’t miss out on the fun. See you at the next Saturday night party.

So, this is Nigeria, it is a great country but, right now, as you well know, the economy isn’t so good.

You bring out your phone and from miles away, people can tell that you have a Camon 12 Air. The height, width and thickness are oh so perfect and smooth to the touch.

Let’s do a little math shall we. If there are 36 states in Nigeria, a ton of tourist destinations, 12 months in a year and 1 of you, why exactly haven’t you calmed your nerves and treated yourself to one, two or maybe even twelve holidays in a year?
