BBNaija ‘Lockdown’ housemates seem to be already getting along with the game, as some of them have taken advantage of their first diary sessions to narrate their experiences since the show started.
Some of the housemates who had their first diary sessions in Biggie’s beach-themed Diary room, discussed their experiences so far in the house, what they think of their fellow housemates, their thoughts on the Head of house game, in which Nnegi emerged winner, their chances of winning the game and the lessons they learned from isolation.
Just in case you missed their first diary sessions, below is the breakdown of what the housemates said:
