    BBNaija: What I learnt from Big Brother house – Amaka

    Recently evicted Big Brother Naija housemate, Chiamaka Mbah, popularly known as “Amaka”, on Thursday said the reality show taught her to be more focused.

    Amaka during a zoom interview session with newsmen in Lagos said that aside being more focused, the show also taught her a few morals.

    “The Big Brother Naija show has been a springboard to sell my brand, I met different people and the show has taught me to be more focused in life.

    “l learnt a lot on the show, it has made me realise that I am me and I am in the best position to modify myself, I need to stand up for myself at all time and I learnt that women are strong beings.

    “My eviction was also a sad one for me but I  am trying to live on the energy I am getting from my fans. I had pure love for the housemates but it is what it is.

    “I already knew I was going to be nominated but didn’t see the eviction coming,” she said.

    She noted that going forward, she remained open to every sector of the entertainment industry and would be as focused and hardworking as much as she can.

    According to her, the most challenging of all the tasks in the house was the “Supa Komando” challenge which she never participated in.

    She said it was such a painful one for her when Biggie disqualified her from participating due to her refusal to engage in a mini task ahead of the “Supa Komando” challenge.

    “I enjoyed every bit of my stay in the Big Brother Naija house, I found  all the arena challenges interesting,” she said.

    Amaka,  who was at a point in the house sanctioned by Biggie for leaving the microwave oven on until it got burnt, said she was heartbroken due to the incident.

    “Leaving the microwave oven burnt was not intentional, the sight of the burnt remnants of the microwave oven left me heartbroken.

    Amaka predicted that either Hermes or Phyna would finally win the grand prize of N100 million as they had good fan base and were also doing well on the show.

    She described Hermes as an intelligent individual.

    “For me, I feel either Hermes or Phyna will win the grand prize because they have good number of fans and I can see Hermes as an intelligent fellow.

    “Hermes is one person I will love to roll with after the show; he is real; he gives good counsel; he is one person I can have as my friend after the show,” she said.

    Amaka was evicted on Aug. 29 after Biggie introduced a twist in the game. The housemates were made to nominate their fellow housemates for immediate eviction.

    Amaka was nominated for possible eviction by Chomzy, Gidifia, Adekunle, Bryan, Eloswag and Dotun.

    BBNaija: Giddyfia hails Biggie over Amaka’s eviction

    Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, Level Up housemate, Giddyfia has hailed Biggie over Amaka’s eviction, saying “it didn’t come as a shock, as it is the right thing to do.”

     

    Giddyfia said this during his Diary session on Tuesday morning.

     

     

    He noted that the time he spent with Amaka made him realise that she lacks coordination.

     

    The former level one housemate said that Amaka took things out of proportion each time he tried to correct her wrongdoings.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com reports that Amaka, before her eviction, told her longtime crush, Giddyfia, that they are incompatible.

     

    Amaka made this revelation about their relationship status after a Task Presentation.

     

    According to her, she values him but she does not want them to get into anything serious.

     

    Giddyfia agreed with her suggestion with ease as it is clear he still has feelings for Diana.

     

    Before speaking with him, Amaka and Diana had yet another heart-to-heart conversation.

     

    Amaka was tired of the side talk from her fellow Level Up Housemates and didn’t want their gossip to cause any drama.

     

    Amaka emphasized that she did not want to have any issues with Diana as their friendship was the most valuable thing to her.

     

    She stated that she and Giddyfia are just close and have no titles.

     

    After their conversations, Amaka curled up in the arms of Diana, where they both proceeded to call Giddyfia a “village man” and make jokes about him.

     

    Recall that Amaka was evicted from the show, following a nomination twist in the house on Monday evening.

     

    Big Brother had asked all the housemates to nominate two fellow contestants for immediate eviction and Amaka got the highest nominations.

     

    Biggie announced Amaka’s eviction to the housemates at the lounge, following their nominations.

     

    However, fans noted that the eviction might be fake, because she wasn’t called to the stage for a final talk with the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

     

    Also, Big Brother does not announce evictions, as that was Ebuka’s duty, hence the speculations and uncertainty surrounding Amaka’s ‘eviction.’

    Housemate, Amaka has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality TV show, to become the 8th housemate to be so evicted from the ongoing season 7 of the show.

    Big Brother had earlier asked the housemates to pack their belongings and dress smart for the evening, even though they had games for the evening, with housemates not getting the hint of the immediate eviction until it happened.

    “I knew it, I knew it,” an evidently distraught Amaka mumbled as she paced around the lounge after being told to leave the Big Brother Level Up House immediately.

    She and the rest of the housemates paused for a moment before it dawned that Big Brother was not joking.

    With a total of six nominations, Amaka became the next housemate to be evicted from the game, missing out on a chance of vying for the highly coveted grand prize of N100m worth of prizes.

    Recall that Amaka had earlier in the day served a punishment for shortening the life span of the house microwave before falling under the hammer of the immediate eviction.

    She spent most of the day romancing, apologising, and eulogising the microwave, which was punishment for misusing the appliance.

    She had been issued a strike for several microphone infringement, and left with two more strikes to be disqualified from the show like fellow housemate, Beauty who was disqualified from the show.

    Following Amaka’s immediate eviction from the show, Big Brother put all housemates up for possible eviction eviction on Sunday, except the head of house, Dotun.

    TNG reports Dotun was confirmed the winner of the head of house challenge and was granted immunity from possible eviction this week.

    His victory came upon completion of this week’s head of house challenge, with the theme “Go hard or go home”, on Monday.

    Dotun, who had become immune from nominations for possible eviction, picked fellow housemate, Daniella, to share the head of house room with him.

    However, Daniella does not have immunity from this week’s nomination process.

    This week’s challenge consisted of two rounds. Male housemates played the first round of the game one.
