It was Vee’s birthday in the Big Brother Naija House and her bae, Neo pulled out all the surprises, for her to make her special day a memorable one.

Vee was very excited by the fact that yesterday was her birthday, and we could see it. While she was doing her chores in the morning, she and Nengi talked about her birthday. Before she went to bath, she spoke about her birthday. When Neo was trying to get to the bathroom before her, she shouted that it as her birthday. How could he forget? A night before, we witnessed Neo give up a few items in order to get a gift into the House for Vee.

A special flower delivery

Neo was called to the storeroom to pick up his special delivery: the flowers he had arranged from Biggie in his Diary Session a few days ago. The flowers fetched quite a heavy price, as he paid a shirt, as well as all his remaining BB Naira. Incredible. Neo fetched his flowers taking them directly to the Garden with the help of Kiddwaya. Ozo came outside to check the quality of the merchandise and all three gents seemed pleased before Kiddwaya hid the flowers in the Head of House Lounge.

Just a reminder, it’s my birthday

Once Vee and Neo were done with their morning showers, they came to the table to eat, where Vee spared no moment to remind Neo that it was her birthday and expecting a special treatment for it. She did not know how special the treatment was about to get. When Neo reminded her that she had had more eggs than him from their plate, she reminded him that it was her birthday. When Neo asked her why she was speaking a certain way, she reminded him that it was her birthday. Anything Neo asked or remarked- you guessed right- it was her birthday. At some point, it seemed that Neo was trying to throw Vee off his tail, so she would not suspect anything.

The birthday card

Right before the Wager practice, Neo went to check on the flowers one more time, making sure everything was perfect. For some reason, he seemed very nervous. Kiddwaya brought the scroll with the message out of the HOH Lounge for Neo to read. He approved and sent it back to be with the flowers- which seemed to be the Houses big secret of the day, as everyone except Vee seemed to know.

Next, Neo sat at the dining room table with Kiddwaya, Trikytee, Ozo and Nengi contemplating what to write on the card. Needless to say, our loverboy found some words and did the honour of signing his boo’s card. After he was done, he made sure that everyone in the House signed the card, taking it personally to everyone.

The plan

Neo recounted to his fellow Housemates how he had to give Biggie something personal and then give up all his BB Naira for the flowers garnering much support from his Housemates. He and Kiddwaya planned how the presentation of the flowers as going to go, with help from Tolanibaj and Praise to make sure that it was all perfect. Friends, a lot went into this day.

Happy birthday!

Head of House, how far?

Asked Vee when she came into the lounge, where Praise was trying to get her into a game. She had been told that practice was shortly underway and she needed to come to the lounge, and needed to be sure she would not be in trouble for playing, while she should be listening. She still did not get it. Praise managed to get Vee into the position they discussed, while Kiddwaya sat on the chair to brief everyone for the Wager. Neo sneaked out to get the cake and the flowers and stood behind Vee to surprise her. When she finally realised, she certainly was surprised.

You guys are so annoying,

screamed Vee as she was presented with her cake, her flowers, a card and a lovely birthday rendition ‘Happy Birthday’ from her Housemates.

When they thought she would cry, she exclaimed:

I don’t cry, I’m a thug.

To her fellow Housemates, she said:

I love you guys, you are very important to me.

And to Neo, she said:

And you Mr Man, I’m so happy you’re here.
