For the sixth Saturday night party, interesting activities went down in the club as well as after the party.
Many viewers rated it as unique as the 17 remaining Housemates, which include the double Heads of House, threw caution to the winds rocking to a double DJ’s expertise behind the wheels of steel.
Here are the six highlights from the party that you might have missed:
1. The Nigerian cultural display
The housemates were thrilled to a culture-themed event. The theme was a massive hit with all the 17 housemates looking regal and astonishing!
However, the Orijin-sponsored party, had many of the outfits inhibiting housemates dance moves. Majority of the female housemates and some of the male housemates were not comfortable on the dance floor in their regalias.
2. Like Double HOH, it’s a Double DJ
Like the twist in the Head Of House game which produced a double Heads Of House for the first time in BBNaija history, two Disc Jockeys performed at the Saturday night party. Away from the traditional beads, wrappers, flowing dresses, the housemates seemed to have been inhibited from showing off some of the dance moves as expected. However, it appeared they had a blast with DJs Dayzee and Shawn on the wheel of steel. As expected, viewers and housemates were not disappointed. From DJ Dayvee’s mid-tempo tracklist to DJ Shawn’s classic hits, the housemates stayed glued to the dance floor till the night was over.
3. A new couple on the dance floor
Before now, it used to be Pere and Maria and then Saga and Nini but for the sixth Saturday night party, Boma and Tega took the centre stage as the new couple on the dance floor. Despite being referred to as the okro geng leader, Boma couldn’t help himself rocking Tega on the dance floor all through the party. As expected, Nini and Saga remained a partying couple. For the better part of the night, the couple also maintained their usual style of keeping their circle tight on the dance floor.

BBNaija Shine Ya Eye ex-Head Of House, Boma’s fling with Angel is gone with the dust and the two now loathe one another.
On Thursday evening, Boma and Angel got into a heated argument after he called her a ‘kiss and tell’.
Angel said she never told anyone what happened between both of them at the executive lounge and warned him to stay away from her in the house.
This escalated quickly as they insulted each other with Boma referring to her as someone who is mentally ill, adding that her biggest achievement is BBNaija.
It is unsure what and if Big Brother would punish the two housemates.
Maria made this known after her exit from the house saying although she knows Liquorose and WhiteMoney have a large fan base she is rooting for Liquorose because she’s her bestie.
“I understand that both Whitemoney and Liquorose have a big fan base. However, I’m rooting for Liquorose to win because she’s my best friend and we will share the money but I’m also rooting for Whitemoney to win as well,” she said.
However, the former air hostess said the voting pattern can be tricky but hopes Liquorose wins.
The former Head Of House made the revelation during a general conversation with other housemates left in the House.
“I’m all about the money here, I love the money. I don’t want to be famous and remain broke. If I’m rich and no fame, then it’s fine but I want the money,” he said.
During his time with the 16 other housemates, Boma disclosed that it’s been difficult trying to stay focused in the house.
Boma also said a lot of people do not know how emotional he can be.
“It’s been difficult trying to be focused in the house. I’m very emotional and people don’t really know because I try to put up a face,” he said

BBNaija Shine Ya Eye housemate Peace has expressed frustration over Sammie’s advances, stating she is not impressed.
During Tuesday’s Diary Session on their day 10 in the BBnaija Shine Ya Eye house, Peace made it clear that Sammie’s sly propositions will end up in a confrontation soon.
After weeks of Sammie and Angel being paired up, Peace finds it disrespectful that Sammie is going behind Angel’s back to talk to her and is considering confronting him if he does it again.
On Wednesday, Day 11, Peace decided to confront Sammie with her assumptions and Sammie apologised for appearing in such a perceived way.
However, fans are unsure if Sammie isn’t trying to spark a platonic friendship, similar to the one he has with Jackie B after his relationship with Angel seems to be going south.
After a heated evening of playing Truth or Dare, viewers wonder if Sammie’s uncertainty with Angel was compounded by the kissing scenes he witnessed during the game.
Sammie had confessed to Jackie B about his love for Angel but his feelings appeared unrequited.

Davido’s Personal Logistics Manager, Isreal Afeare aka Israel DMW, has begged Nigerians to plead with his boss following reports he has been sacked.
There have been allegations the DMW boss sacked Israel DMW after he took to social media to drag the FBI following the order to arrest Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari for his alleged involvement with the popular fraudster, Hushpuppi.
According to Israel, Nigerians are not helping the situation with their negative comments about him on social media.
Speaking further, Israel said he is currently depressed and Nigerians should apologise to Davido on his behalf.
Israel, who is known for his constant praise-singing of his boss, also apologised to the “Jowo” singer, adding he was oblivious of the gravity of his deed until Ubi Franklin called his attention to it.
He wrote: “You people should kindly help me beg my oga not to sack me, tru his personal lawyer Jiggy, than adding to my current depression of pressuring him to send me off.

One of the wildcards in the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye house, Pere, has continued to keep his true identity away from others.
The U.S.-trained Nurse has a firm bite on the prize money and not letting anything get on
his way.
Interestingly, a number of the housemates trust him so much that they keep opening up about their suspicions and he is even helping them search for the wildcards.
At different times, Pere maintains his cool and looks at other housemates straight in the eye, and nods away in agreement.
On Thursday night, during his Diary Session, Pere guessed that Maria or Nini could be the second wildcard because their Dairy Sessions preceded and followed his respectively.
Pere was able to make a simple guess because of the tricky hint that Biggie gave the Housemates who had been begging for a clue.
Pere comforted Maria who was a ball of nerves while the housemates were on the hunt for the wildcard.
‘Don’t worry, the lion will protect the cub,’ were his words to her, insinuating that he had it under control.
