It was a mixed bag of relief, disappointment and sadness, as the first round of evictions from the Big Brother Naija house took place. Setting the tone for what was already a tense situation was the shock disqualification of Khloe and K.Brule, dubbed Ksquared, who were told to leave the house following additional strikes to their list of transgressions. The disqualification of the duo, inspite of Khloe’s position as Head of House which makes her immune from nomination and eviction, left the other housemates visibly stunned.
Sunday’s show took off with performances by popular Nigerian singer Mr. 2kay and Afropop crooner Oritsefemi, who performed the Big Brother Naija theme song aptly dubbed ‘Double Wahala’, a remix of his own song and a modern take on the classic Fela Anikulapo-Kuti classic. The show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, then proceeded to announce the first pair of housemates to leave the show. With 3.05% of the votes, Princess and Bitto, otherwise known as Pritto, were evicted from the house.
Next to leave the house were the duo Vandora and the comedian Dee One, better known as VanDee, with a vote tally of 2.98%.
Whilst the massive departures have undoubtedly left the remaining housemates shaken, they are left with little time to grieve as nominations for the next round of evictions resume on Monday, 18 February.
