Saga, 29-year-old Artist , in the Big Brother Nigeria Season 6 ” Shine Ya Eye ” edition, was the second housemate to enter the house after Boma, and a lot of fans fancied him as one of the favourites, and expect him to go all the way , given the fact that he is multi-talented.
Since then, he has falling down the pecking order of a lot of the fans of the show , who belived, since he met Nini, and got romantically entangled , he has lost focus and no longer playing the game like a competitor who desires to win the game.
More disturbing is the fact that his love interest, Nini, has told him on numerous occasions that she cannot date him because she is in a serious relationship outside the house. She has also on several occasions debunked the insinuation that they are dating, when accused by fellow housemates and the anchor of the show, Ebuka.
Jackie B, the single mother of one , from Adamawa State, reiterated this position and concluded that Saga is more preoccupied with winning the heart of Nini, rather than the N90 million grand prize at stake.
She said this while replying Big Brother who had asked her during her dairy session why she nominated him for eviction. As far as she is concerned, he is distracted and forgotten why he is in the Big Brother house, and has made winning Nini his sole interest.
“Saga does not care about the game, his head is just into Nini. I don’t think he cares about winning again, that’s why I nominated him for eviction.He also said he would ask for a voluntary exit if Nini left,” she said.
Saga is among the 7 housemates up for eviction this week. Others being Queen, Jaypaul, Saskay, Whitemoney, Liquorose and Jackie B, who nominated him for possible eviction. At least one of these housemates will be evicted come Sunday.
Fans of the show have up till Thursday night to vote and save their favourite housemate from exiting the show. The man in the eye of the storm, Saga, narrowly escaped eviction last , week .
However, a lot of analyst have concluded that the fact that Nini, his love interest and his best friend, Pere, are not up for eviction, may work in his favour as fans of the two housemates are likely going to vote for him, because it will likely benefit their candidate on the long run.
Handlers of Pere’s social media platforms have joined his own team to solicit votes that they expect will keep him in the house come Sunday.
Only time will tell .
