Tension In BBN As Four Housemates Face Eviction
Following Bassey’s eviction last Sunday, March 26, 2017, there has been tension in Big Brother Naija House and that tension came to the forefront on Monday March 27, 2017 when they had to nominate amongst themselves who they would like to see.
At the end of the nomination session, Debbie Rise, Marvis, Efe and T. Boss were up for eviction but the current head of house, Bisola exercised her powers saving Efe and replacing him with Bally meaning the list had been updated to include Bally, Debbie Rise, T. Boss and Marvis.
Meanwhile, Bassey Asuquo Ekpeyong was one contestant in the Big Brother Naija Reality Show that divided opinion whenever his name was mentioned. To some, he was the perfect gentleman, to others, he was a devil who chose not to oblige Debbie Rice’s many attempts at romance. This explains why she cried her eyes out after his eviction.
