Discovering that they would have an additional week in the Big Brother Naija house brought relief to all the housemates, but it also triggered a period of reflection for some. Before bidding farewell to them, Ebuka had emphasized the need for the housemates to focus on the game and shed their fan-like behavior towards their fellow contenders.
These words deeply affected many of them, leading to Angel becoming more withdrawn while others engaged in discussions about nominations and future strategies.
Venita, who shared a close bond with Angel and Mercy Eke, decided to sit down with Soma to understand his intentions regarding Angel. Their friendship had been strong, but Angel had confided in Venita that she was unsure about Soma’s feelings for her due to rumors spread by Mercy Eke.
According to Mercy Eke, Soma was telling other housemates that he didn’t like Angel, and she suspected that he might be playing the role of a playboy to advance in the game.
Soma opened up to Venita about his fear of getting involved in another romantic relationship within the house. In a previous season, he faced severe criticism and blame from fans for being in a romantic alliance, which ultimately led to his early eviction.
Despite gaining immunity as one of Hoh Adekunle’s selected BFFs, he still felt anxious about his prospects of staying longer in the house.
Venita encouraged Soma to share his concerns with Angel and reassured him that he deserved his place among the All Stars. She reminded him that while he was evicted in his previous season, history might not repeat itself this time.
As the realization sunk in that one of them might be leaving the following week, discussions about nominations and forming alliances became crucial. Pere, Ike, and Tolanibaj decided to nominate Angel, Adekunle, Mercy Eke, Uriel, Ilebaye, and Soma.
Venita, who was close to Mercy Eke, confronted Ike about speaking negatively about her to Ilebaye. Surprisingly, during their conversation about nominations, Ike disclosed his plans to nominate Mercy Eke, Venita also expressed her intention to do the same at some point.
