Rooboy Defends Kaybobo Over Previous Day’s Food Clash
Food tensions from earlier clash still lingered in the house on August 19. During deliberations, Rooboy openly defended Kaybobo, insisting that he was unfairly targeted in the heated food-sharing argument with Imisi and Victory from the previous day.
He criticized the housemates for mocking Kaybobo despite his efforts to secure meals for everyone with the limited BBNaija currency. According to him, instead of appreciating the initiative, they painted Kaybobo as the villain.
Rooboy’s strong stance reignited the conversation around food management in the house, keeping the issue alive even after the original fight had cooled down.
Diary Sessions: Imisi vs Rooboy
Imisi Breaks Down in Diary Room
Imisi opened up to Big Brother about her frustrations with Rooboy, admitting that the clash had pushed her to her breaking point. She felt targeted and misrepresented in a way that could damage her image outside the house. According to her, she was struggling to cope and feared she was losing control of her emotions.
Big Brother lightened the mood by asking her to mimic her Nollywood task character for the week, Funke Akindele aka Jenifa, which momentarily brought back her smile.
Rooboy Explains His Side
Rooboy, in his session, explained that his outburst stemmed from how Imisi and Isabella treated Kaybobo. He said he always respected kitchen rules when others were in control, so he expected the same courtesy now that his team was leading.
He also revealed that he had tried to build a friendship with Imisi but felt she was “whining” him, forcing him to show her his tougher side.
Koyin Reacts to Dede’s “Fishes” Label and Kiss Fallout
In his diary session, Koyin reflected on two key revelations that recently shook the house: Dede referring to him, Kola, and Jason as her “fishes,” and the secret kiss he shared with Sultana.
On the “fishes” matter, Koyin downplayed it, saying he took it as lighthearted cruise and not a serious insult. He even joked that he sometimes calls Dede a “fisher lady.”
Regarding the kiss with Sultana, Koyin clarified that it happened during a game when Jason and Sultana were not together, so he had no regrets. While acknowledging some tension with Jason, he insisted he had done nothing wrong.
Big Soso Confronts Kaybobo Over Rumored Kitchen Rivalry
A major confrontation unfolded between Big Soso and Kaybobo over rumors that Kaybobo believed she saw him as a threat in the kitchen. Big Soso, who is a chef outside the house, was visibly upset and sought clarification.
Kaybobo denied ever making such a statement, blaming the spread on house gossip. He maintained that he respected Soso’s skills and had no reason to see her as competition. The two eventually left the matter unresolved, but it highlighted the dangers of rumors in the BBNaija house.
Dede and Mide Navigate Emotional Boundaries
Dede and Mide had a heart-to-heart conversation about the complexities of their connection. Dede admitted she almost considered giving their bond a deeper chance but stopped herself because of the restrictions it could bring. She felt they both wanted companionship but in different ways that could not align.
Mide supported her perspective but admitted he was upset with Jason over past arena comments. Their discussion revealed the fragile balance between friendship, loyalty, and emotions in the house.
Koyin’s Emotional Birthday Celebration
Koyin’s birthday became one of the most moving highlights of the day in Big Brother’s house, blending joy, tears, and heartfelt bonds.
In his trademark fashion, Big Brother surprised Koyin with a birthday package — a cake, small chops, and bottles of alcohol for him to celebrate with the housemates. What started as a simple birthday treat soon turned into one of the most emotional moments of the season.
The entire house rallied around Koyin, showering him with prayers, hugs, and heartfelt wishes. The ladies especially surrounded him, holding his hands in tears, singing the birthday song, and dancing to uplift his spirit. Thelma even stepped into a symbolic motherly role, praying for him like a parent would a child.
But the real emotional punch came from the tributes.
Dede’s Message to Koyin:
Dede’s speech went beyond friendship — it was raw and deeply personal. She called Koyin her “best friend,” praising his optimism and resilience. She reminded the house that, despite the conflicts and criticisms — even during the infamous “fish issue” — Koyin never judged or turned bitter. Instead, he chose to laugh, saying people could call him a “rat” and he wouldn’t care.
Dede admitted it melted her heart, describing him as one of the sweetest souls in the house. Their friendship stood out as one of the purest bonds in the game, drawing cheers from fellow housemates.
Kola’s Tribute:
Though not particularly close to Koyin, Kola openly admired his personality and talent. He praised Koyin’s energy on the dance floor and his standout performances during arena games, saying those qualities made him unforgettable.
Jason’s Reflection:
Jason compared Koyin to himself, acknowledging that he had never once been upset with him. He described Koyin as a “star,” lauding his charisma, style, and ability to remain lighthearted.
Apart from Imisi and Sultana’s absence from the celebration that raised eyebrows, almost every housemate testified that Koyin had been a consistent emotional anchor in the house. They shared how he checked in on them individually, noticed when they were down, and always found a way to brighten their mood.
As the tributes poured in, Koyin broke down in tears. For him, this was not just a birthday — it was a milestone. He revealed that he had never truly had a proper birthday celebration since he was born. The love and warmth from the housemates overwhelmed him, turning the night into one of the season’s most unforgettable emotional highs.
Sultana Stirs Controversy in the Kitchen
Shortly after Koyin’s birthday celebration, Sultana was spotted venting to Gigi about another housemate. Although she didn’t mention names, many assumed she referred to either Doris or Isabella. She accused the unnamed housemate of being fake, loud, and obsessed with appearances, sparking yet another under-the-radar feud.
Jason and Dede’s Strained Friendship Over “Fish” Label
The tension between Jason and Dede worsened, with Jason avoiding her due to the “fish” labeling saga. Mide and Bright discussed the issue, with Mide criticizing Jason for forgiving Sultana’s secret kiss with Koyin but holding on to Dede’s playful remark.
Bright suggested Jason was transferring his anger onto Dede instead of addressing his true feelings. Their conversation highlighted how unresolved issues continue to shape alliances in the house.
Bright Confides in Victory About Outside Relationship
Bright opened up to Victory about missing his girlfriend outside the house. He admitted that he was struggling with balancing his emotions, especially with his growing bond with Mide. Victory cautioned him to be careful not to lose his real relationship over a fleeting situationship in the house.
Imisi Tells Soso Her Friendship with a Male Housemate is Over
Imisi confided in Big Soso that her clash with a Male Housemate (presumably Rooboy, Kaybobo, Faith or Koyin) was beyond repair. According to her, their friendship could never be mended, either inside or outside the house. Soso encouraged her to let go of grudges and reminded her that even the sweetest housemates like Kola could show a different side when pushed.
Supa Komando Task Tests Housemates’ Energy
The housemates participated in a highly competitive Supa Komando challenge designed to test their physical stamina. Faith emerged the fastest among the male contestants, while Dede took the lead for the females, securing bragging rights for the day.
Jason and Sultana Reignite Their Bond
Despite their recent fallout over her secret kiss with Koyin, Jason and Sultana were spotted back in bed together by the end of the night. This unexpected reunion hinted at a possible reconciliation and left fans speculating about the future of their complicated relationship.
August 19 in the BBNaija Season 10 house was less about explosive confrontations and more about reflection, emotions, and subtle shifts in dynamics. Housemates continued to process the tension from the previous day’s food clash, while diary sessions and birthday celebrations brought both vulnerability and joy into the mix.
With strained friendships under quiet pressure and unexpected twists reminding everyone that Big Brother always has surprises up his sleeve, the day proved that even without major fights, the drama and emotional undercurrents in the house never truly stop.
