Strategy key to winning BBNaija, says CeeC
Former BBNaija housemate CeeC has reflected on her experience on the show and highlighted the importance of having a strategy to achieve one’s goals.
In an interview on Pulse, the two-time finalist, admitted that she personally struggled with planning and sticking to a strategy, often preferring to go with the flow.
However, she emphasised that having a clear plan and being focused on one’s objectives is crucial to success on the show.
According to CeeC, contestants should prioritise their goals, whether it’s winning the money or building relationships, and maintain a ruthless focus on achieving them.
She noted that the show’s unpredictable nature means that contestants need to be adaptable and strategic in order to thrive.
CeeC said her insights come from her own experience of being on the show twice, as well as her observations of other contestants.
She said: “I think the one thing that I don’t know how to do is to stick to a strategy. I don’t even know how to strategize, I feel like just go with it. And to be honest, maybe that’s why I have no money.
“No, please. Yeah, but having been on the show twice and also having watched the show sometimes, I’ll say one thing, it’s very important to have a strategy and stick to it. Be serious about it, be ruthless about it. If you’re going into the show to win the money, your eyes should be on the prize, the money.
” Don’t lose that. Forget about what anybody else is doing. Just focus on your own. If you’re there to maybe be a first run out, focus on it. If you’re there to do sheep, catch relationship, do friendship, whatever it is, focus on it. But it’s very, very important because one thing about the show is that they don’t give a script”.

BBNaija’s Saskay pursues second degree in Belgium
Reality TV star Saskay has gained admission to study for a Master’s degree in Global Security and Strategy at Brussels School of Governance.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Saskay said after a five-year wait, she’s finally embarking on this new chapter, made possible by a scholarship.
Detailing her experience, she said her journey was marked by moments of doubt and frustration, but found strength in her faith and credits her success to divine timing.
She expressed gratitude to loved ones, including her sisters and friends, for their unwavering support.
As she begins her program, Saskay said she feels both excited and overwhelmed, diving back into the international arena after being out of touch.
She wrote: “”When the time is right, I the Lord, will make it happen” (Isiah 60:22b) and he did! I waited 5 years for this opportunity and even almost gave up last year by registering to study a random course I wasn’t half as passionate about. There were times I cried myself to sleep because I wanted more and I just wanted to go to school. But this year was the year! From gaining admission, to scholarship and the hectic visa process, it was all destined.
“I came across people I believe God sent to just assist me through it all. I remember going for Thanksgiving in church before I even got admission cause I recently learned to give thanks even before my blessings arrived.
So grateful to my sisters and my friends for how much they supported me through it all.
“I’m doing a Masters in Global Security and Strategy, and babyyyy. I’ve already called my sister once crying cause I felt so overwhelmed Being out of touch with the international arena and just diving back in is one hell of a ride but I am strapped (or atleast I think I am). Anyways, I was gonna do a nonchalant post but this caption is now too long so bye guyssss!”

I dread getting impregnated by the wrong man, says Vee
Reality TV star and actress Vee has disclosed that her top priority in life is to avoid getting pregnant by the wrong man.
In a video message, she admitted that dating, especially in Lagos, comes with many challenges and stressed that she is determined to protect herself from unnecessary emotional pain.
Describing herself as stubborn and strong-willed, Vee explained that she focuses on self-preservation and making careful decisions in her relationships.
“It is my mission in life to avoid the wrong man getting me pregnant. And it’s not to say I’m better than the women who have been in that position,” she said.
“It’s simply because I know myself, I know what I’m like, and I try to avoid certain situations that would put me in a state of psychosis. I’m passionate about not getting f*cked over, and maybe that is what stops me from finding unapologetic love.
“I’m stubborn. I’m hard-headed. But I’m not stupid. I need to make sure that when it comes to choosing a life partner, I try my best to get it right. You can’t know someone 100 per cent, but you can try your best. People’s experience is the best teacher, not in my world. Especially when there’s the internet, where people are sharing their experiences. I don’t need to experience something to know that it’s not going to work for me”.
