Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemates Sultex and Goddessa have been evicted from the reality TV show, bringing their hopes of winning the ₦160 million grand prize to an end.
Their eviction was announced by the host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, during Sunday’s live eviction show.
The duo were among 14 housemates nominated for possible eviction in the fifth week of the competition. Others on the eviction list were Araga, Barry, Bells, Bluethopia, Gerard, Keivo, Nomy, Oyin, Ricky, Temi Nkem, Tram and Yusuf.
With their departure, 17 housemates remain in the competition as the show progresses into another phase.
The evictions came after a dramatic fifth week, which featured a new nomination format, confrontations, relationship tensions and disciplinary actions by Big Brother. The week, tagged “Topsy-Turvy Week”, introduced a major twist where housemates were required to publicly identify contestants they wanted to save instead of directly nominating others for eviction.
Sultex, whose real name is Sultan Aregbe-Obanikoro, is a Lagos-based dancer, choreographer, casting director and filmmaker known for his energetic personality and dancing abilities.
Before his eviction, Sultex was named the Most Influential Player of Week Three, a recognition that earned him immunity from the Week Four eviction and a tablet as part of his reward.
However, his final days in the house were overshadowed by a confrontation involving Bells and Yusuf. What began as a conversation between Bells and Sultex escalated into a heated argument in the garden and nearly turned physical.
Big Brother subsequently placed Sultex on behavioural probation and issued him a final warning over what was described as extremely dangerous threatening remarks.
Goddessa, whose real name is Lovette Okechukwu Amaka, is a musician from Arochukwu, Abia State.
During her time in the house, she was involved in various relationships and disagreements, particularly with Araga. The pair had another disagreement following the Saturday Night Link-Up before Temi Nkem stepped in to mediate and calm the situation.
Meanwhile, Sheba emerged as the Most Influential Player of the Week and secured immunity from the next eviction.
Chisom Chuka, who has enjoyed immunity since becoming Head of House in Week Two and again in Week Five, has been barred from participating in Monday’s forthcoming Head of House games.
