Confident and all dressed up. Sheba didn’t come to play as she walked in ready to face the day. Shortly after the morning workout, she called the housemates for a meeting. Before the meeting started, a housemate noted that she is already embodying the role of Head of House (HoH).

08:00 am – Tram says Sheba’s fit for the HoH role

Post-workout, Keivo told Oyin that Temi Nkem sized him up. Later Bells and Keivo have a banter: she says that he organised the suitcases in a certain way because he has OCD. Bells and Flora joined Mercedes in the bedroom where she was doing her stretching.

Tram told Sheba that she's settling in with being the HoH. She agreed and said she has that dog in her. Cassi joked that Sheba was crashing out and she disagreed with him.

Keivo did his skincare routine and one of the serums burned him. Barry helped him to cool it off by fanning his face. Araga was feeding Goddessa noodles in the kitchen.

09:00 am – Housemates get serious about the wager presentation

Before the meeting is called, Bells is seen sleeping on Yusuf’s chest. 

Sheba called the housemates downstairs for a morning meeting. Oyin and Flora danced to the music that Biggie had been playing in the house. Keivo was cleaning the lounge area.

The meeting starts. Martins told the housemates to be serious about their wager presentation.

Later, Chimsom Chuka said that someone ate his HoH treat and he asked HoH Sheba to address it.

10:00 am – HoH puts her foot down

Martins talked to Sultex about the opening of the wager, and he explains how things should go.

When the meeting resumed, Sheba said that the housemates are disrespecting her and disrespecting Big Brother Naija and the show. She said they agreed to practise and they are not. She warned that she is going to write a list of people making the show boring.

The housemates start practising for the wager. One by one they do auditions for three judges (who are also housemates).

11:00 am – Ricky speaks his mind

Ricky is first to go into the diary room. He tells Biggie how exhausted he is. He also revealed that he is not happy with how the wager preps are going.

Ricky also said he feels that the housemates don’t like him, he thinks they want him out of the house. He also spoke about how he feels about Chimsom Chuka and the new HoH, Sheba.

12:00 am – Temi Nkem gets emotional

Temi told Biggie that Neche’s story about losing her father, triggered her. It took her back to when her mother had an accident at their home and had to be hospitalized. She explained how the accident changed her family’s lives.

She admitted that she is tired and asked Biggie for HoH challenges that are not so physical intense, because she would not be able to win them.

1:00 pm – Yusuf talks about Bells and his father

Yusuf told Biggie in the diary room that the wager helped him see his future as a casting director. He found today’s auditions interesting; he enjoyed seeing people who have never acted, shining in acting. He said that the mood in the house today is cooperative, tired and anticipative.

He saved Martins, Gerard and Bells during Nominations. He’s been rooting for Martins and Gerard, because they share the same dreams. He saved Bells, because he likes her.

Yusuf spoke about his father being a hardworking man. He mentioned that he hasn't expressed how much he loves or appreciate him. He hopes his dad feels seen and appreciated.

2:00 pm – Housemates hurt Oyin’s feelings during conspiracy hour

Oyin said that people don't like her in the Big Brother Naija house and she was so hurt yesterday when she found out about this. Oyin said the conspiracy corner made her see that people don't like her, because they didn't call her. She called Flora, Bells, Mercedes and Sultex her people.

Oyin spoke to Biggie about how her housemates eat a lot and said that their food potions are a lot; it overwhelms her.
