The thirteenth day in the Big Brother Naija house started on a relatively quiet note as housemates slowly got out of bed, tackled their morning chores and prepared for another Saturday in the house. As the day progressed, conversations around relationships, life after the house and the evening's party began to take centre stage.
08:00 am: Housemates start their day
With most housemates catching up on sleep, Mercedes was among the first to get moving and prepare breakfast. Later on, HoH Sheba began waking everyone up and reminding them to start their routines and clean up the house.
09:00 am: Araga opens up about his feelings for Goddessa
With the Saturday night link-up on everyone's minds, Bluethopia wondered what the housemates would be wearing for the big night. Meanwhile, Araga opened up about how his connection with Goddessa began in a chat with Abi.
He revealed that he initially entered the House determined not to get attracted to anyone. However, after seeing Goddessa without her makeup, he realised how beautiful she was and decided to make his move. Araga admitted that when he likes someone, he doesn't like to waste time and went straight to her bed that night.
He also spoke about wanting to see how their relationship develops outside the House, while Abi shared her own plans for life after the show, revealing that she hopes to have a cooking show and publish cooking books. Araga said he hopes to expand his business and start modelling classes.
10:00 am: Araga and Goddessa share a sweet moment
Araga and Goddessa's connection continued to shine as they spent the morning together. Goddessa playfully told Araga that he had left her to help clean the House and that she missed his company. The duo shared kisses and cuddles while discussing a conversation they had the night before.
Goddessa highlighted that she was sleepy, so she missed key parts of their chat, while Araga stated that the most important thing to remember was that they had agreed to focus on themselves and their connection.
11:00 am: Bells opens up about her struggles
Bells had an emotional conversation with Mercedes, Yusuf, and Martins about her reactions during conflicts in the House. She admitted that she struggles to control what she says when she's angry and doesn't enjoy getting into arguments, but feels it's difficult to simply ignore the conflicts around her.
When Mercedes suggested speaking to a psychologist, Bells dismissed the idea, saying she simply wants to go home. She revealed that she was packing her bags so that if another argument happens, she would be ready to leave. Martins and Mercedes tried to encourage her to stay, but Bells wasn't budging.
12:00 pm: Voting for MIPOW begins
As Bells informed a startled Flora about her plans to voluntarily exit the show, Flora gave her a pep talk and urged her to stay in the House and keep her head in the game. Shortly after, Biggie asked the housemates to gather in the lounge to vote for the season's first Most Influential Player of the Week (MIPOW). Each housemate was given a pen and paper and asked to name the housemates who fit the criteria stated, without discussing their choices with their fellow housemates.
