BBNaija Season 6: Princess and Arin Evicted
Arin and Princess have been evicted from the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye House during the second Sunday live eviction show of the season.
Last Monday, the housemates nominated Emmanuel, Nini, Tega, Saga, Arin and Princess for possible eviction.
The Head of House (HoH), Pere, chose to save Saga and replace him with Saskay, placing her on the chopping block too.
After an intense week of arguments, kitchen drama, a military-like regime, and extreme parties, the week finally concluded with two evictions.
Show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, first announced that Saskay was safe this week before evicting Arin from the house.
Arin’s eviction left Nini and Peace in tears as they were losing a member of their clique. But, Arin left on a high note, telling Ebuka that everything that has happened in the house, including her eviction, is positive.
Answering the ‘what next question’, Arin said, “Definitely releasing a collection from my brand, Nola Black. And then, a bunch of art shows.
“I think I’m going to be having a bunch of collaborations and just life. I write, do costume design; there’s just going to be a bunch of stuff.”
Next, Ebuka eased the tension by saying Emmanuel, Nini, and Tega were safe. He then asked Princess to leave the house as she had been evicted.
Princess immediately walked out, trying to avoid any heavy emotions, but not before she said her last words.
Taking a bow, she told the housemates, “I love you guys! And by the way, my real crush in the house is not Whitemoney; it’s Cross. I love you, Cross!”
She later explained on stage to Ebuka that she was happy despite her eviction because she finally got to live her dream and experience Biggie’s house. She also said she looks forward to continuing the hustle.

Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has announced the postponement of its maiden annual Public Relations, Reputation, Ideas, Concepts and Excellence (PRICE) Awards and Prizes to January 25, 2026.

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.
Netflix
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
Discovery Family
