BBNaija 10: I Was Nominated Because People Saw Me as Threat – Sultana

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Sultana has revealed why housemates nominated her for Week 5 eviction.
Recall that the nominations held on Monday evening before Biggie announced the week will be eviction free.
Biggie had also reintroduced the traditional nomination style on Monday, where housemates were tasked with nominating two fellow housemates for possible eviction.
It replaced the format where all housemates are up for eviction, which had been in place since the start of the season.
During her diary session with Biggie on Tuesday afternoon, Sultana revealed that she was nominated because other housemates saw her as a threat in the game.
She suggested that she is a strategic player who would prioritize eliminating strong opponents over weaker ones.
She said, “I was nominated because people see me as competition. Because if I was given the power to take out people, I will not take out weak people, I will take out the strong people that will give me problem later.”
In a surprising twist, the nominations were nullified after Rooboy, the Head of House, after he drew a power from the Tree of Trinkets that read “Nullify Nominations”.
This means that no housemate will be evicted based on the nominations, and the game continues with all housemates safe for the week.

My Strategy On BBNaija Was Never About Cooking – Otega Says

Otega, the former BBNaija season 10 housemate, has addressed widespread speculation that his role as a cook in the house was a calculated game strategy.

The 32-year-old, who was evicted last Sunday alongside Kayinkunmi, clarified his intentions in a recent interview.

When questioned if he took on cooking duties to win favor with fellow housemates and viewers, Otega was unequivocal in his denial.

He stated that his true strategy was far simpler and more authentic: to be himself.

Otega emphasised that his behaviour in the house was a genuine reflection of his personality, shaped by life experience and a thoughtful nature.

“It was never my strategy. My strategy was never to go there and cook for anybody, it was why I was not cooking every day. My strategy was to go there and be myself,” he said.

“Myself was what you saw. I am a very blunt person. I also try as much as possible to be wise because with age and life experiences comes wisdom.

“So I was not there to go and cook. I am a chef by profession, so I do not need to cook to get approval.”

Otega also spoke about the dynamics of this year’s show, while hailing the organisers decision to have 29 housemates.

“I think it is giving a good run, the producers know what they are doing and they are doing a great job. We can see from the response we are receiving outside. It has been an amazing experience, so yes pushing the limit is the goal of the show,” he said.
