BBNaija: KellyRae, Topher, and Ozee Among 9 Nominated for Eviction

Nine housemates, including KellyRae, Topher, and Ozee, have been nominated for possible eviction in the BBNaija ‘No Loose Guard’ season. Following the Head of House (HoH) games, which saw Tjay emerge victorious, Biggie instructed housemates to nominate two others for eviction.

KellyRae received the most nominations with six, followed closely by Sooj and Victoria, who each had five nominations. Kassia garnered four, while Ben, Ozee, Chizoba, and Shaun were nominated twice. Onyeka, Topher, and Nelly received one nomination each.

However, Topher’s inclusion in the eviction list was due to disobeying Biggie’s rules by only nominating one housemate instead of two. As a result, he faces possible eviction alongside KellyRae, Kassia, Ben, Chizoba, Shaun, Victoria, Sooj, and Ozee.

One or two housemates will be evicted during the live eviction show on Sunday. So far, 14 housemates have been evicted from the reality show. The first pair to exit was Team Tami (Damilola and Toyosi) on August 4, followed by Team Ndi Nne (Chinne and Nne).
