TECNO Task Lights Up Big Brother Naija with Unforgettable Moments
What began as an ordinary day in the Big Brother Naija house quickly transformed into one of the most exhilarating moments of the season as the much-anticipated TECNO Task ignited the atmosphere.
The energy was electric, with fans buzzing in excitement and housemates pushing themselves to the limit in a fierce contest of wits and strategy. True to its reputation, this year’s challenge, the TECNO #StopAtNothing Task, did not disappoint.
It was a spectacular display of skill and determination, featuring three thrilling phases that put the housemates’ mental agility, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities to the ultimate test.
Housemates were divided into two teams: Team CAMON 30 5G, comprising Aces, Mbadiwe Twins, Handi x Wanni, Zinwe, and Nelita; and Team CAMON 30 Pro 5G, comprising Double K, Chekas, Beta, Shatoria, and Radicals.
The stage was set for an epic showdown as both teams faced off in the first phase—The Emoji Charade Phase. Armed with nothing but a board and 15 pages filled with cryptic emojis, the housemates had to make quick guesses, flipping through the pages as fast as their minds could decode the visual clues.
The tension was felt as each team raced against time, their fate resting on their ability to interpret the emojis accurately.
Next up was The Spelling Squid Phase, where the housemates’ skills and creativity were put to the test. In a unique twist, they had to carve out the words CAMON 30 Pro from dummy cakes.
The pressure was on as the clock ticked down, but both teams rose to the occasion, delivering impressive results that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
The final phase, The Power Puzzle, brought the housemates face-to-face with a series of 13 trivia questions. The number of correct answers they provided determined the time they had to solve the final puzzle—a challenge that required both brains and brawn.
The stakes grew higher with every piece they moved into place, and the room was filled with anticipation. After a gruelling contest, Team CAMON 30 5G emerged winners, proving that their blend of quick thinking, sharp reflexes, and team coordination was unmatched.
But the true winners of the night were the viewers, who were not only thoroughly entertained by the spectacle but also had the chance to walk away with cash gifts, thanks to TECNO. Twenty lucky fans were selected to receive these prizes, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling evening.
For those who want to stay updated on all the action in the Big Brother Naija house and have a shot at winning more fantastic prizes, make sure to follow TECNO on Facebook, Instagram, and X. With TECNO, the excitement never stops, and you do not want to miss a moment of it!

The event, earlier scheduled for December 7, 2025, was deferred to accommodate stakeholders whose observance of Christmas festivities had commenced earlier than expected.
Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr. Israel Opayemi, urged stakeholders to note the new date and prepare to participate in the ceremony.
He said the awards would motivate professionals, practitioners and scholars, while enhancing Nigeria’s global competitiveness in the public relations ecosystem and strengthening brand equity for all stakeholders.
Opayemi reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to delivering a best-in-class award administration and ceremony, describing the PRICE Awards as a credible and enduring platform to identify, celebrate and elevate outstanding individuals, campaigns and organisations shaping the public relations landscape across sectors.
The development of the PRICE Awards peaked in September 2025 when the NIPR President and Chairman, Council, Dr. Ike Neliaku, inaugurated a 12-man committee to organise the maiden edition. The inauguration followed the Council’s adoption of the report of a technical team tasked with establishing the awards.
Netflix has announced a landmark agreement to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max in a transaction valued at $82.7 billion, a move analysts say will reshape the global entertainment industry.

The deal, which includes Warner Bros.’ film and television studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Games, was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Under the terms, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix shares for each WBD share.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the acquisition as “a defining moment” for the streaming giant, noting that the company intends to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations while expanding its production capacity.
“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies with Netflix’s culture-defining titles, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling,” Sarandos said.
The transaction is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, following the planned spin-off of WBD’s TV networks division, Discovery Global, in 2026. Netflix projects annual cost savings of $2–3 billion by the third year after completion and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share by year two.
Industry groups, including the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, have raised concerns about the impact on movie theaters, while regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal over antitrust issues. Netflix has pledged to continue supporting theatrical releases, with Warner Bros.’ cinema commitments running through 2029.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hailed the agreement, saying it “combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love.”
Observers note that the acquisition comes 15 years after former Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes dismissed Netflix as “the Albanian army,” underscoring the dramatic shift in the entertainment landscape.
A major shake‑up rocks viewers and subscribers of DSTV/GOTV as many channels are set to shut down and be removed on January 1, 2026.
The trigger for the upcoming shut‑down is a breakdown in negotiations between the owners of multiple global channels and the pay‑TV operator.
As of December 2025, the deal between Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and DStv/GOtv has expired and the two parties have not reached a renewal agreement.
Without a new carriage/distribution agreement, the channels belonging to WBD risk being pulled off the DStv/GOtv line‑up.
This is the most significant content cutback the service has seen in years.
The affected channels are:
Discovery Channel
TLC
Cartoonito
Cartoon Network
CNN International
Food Network
The Travel Channel
TNT
Investigation Discovery
Real Time
HGTV
