  • Rico evicted from #BBNaija

    Rico Swavey has joined the list of housemates that has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija house this Sunday evening.

    Rico who was genuinely surprised that he made it this far, admitted that he wasn’t sure how he got here. He was quick to say he wasn’t disappointed but he saw it as an opportunity.

    “I don’t know how I got here. I wont say I was disappointed, going through the course of time, I found it as an opportunity. It doesn’t stop me from moving forward in life.”

    Ebuka wanted to know if he played it safe but Rico said he was just being himself all through the rosy ride.

    “I wasn’t playing safe I was just being me for the same reason that I wasn’t in some argument. I did me and me has brought me this far in the house. I wasn’t hiding but I had some off points. Life is good and I enjoyed the moment and have fun.”

    Rico Swavey also admitted deep intense love for ex-Big Brother housemate, Ahneeka. He spoke of her as strong and passionate for whatever she stood for and he definitely picked her over Alex and Khloe.

    “Over time I grew feelings for Ahneeka. She is very strong about what she wants. If someone has that kind of impact in your life, you will be genuinely attracted. Who I really liked the most was Ahneeka, of the trio of Ahneeka, Khloe and Alex.”

    Moving forward, he expressed a desire to own a restaurant but was keen on music the more.

    “I always wanted to have a restaurant, however I can cook, hopefully I can have restaurant.”

    “I want to pay attention to music. It is what made me leave the house to sell things and get more studio time to tell my story.”

    “My i-phone was always giving me troubles, so much that it made me fall sick,” He said.

    Cee-C who tried to care less about Rico’s win; said the next gift she needed after the house is an i-Phone.

  • Why Bambam, Rico may leave BBNaija tomorrow

    Following the exit of Anto from the Big Brother Naija show last Sunday, tension of eviction continues, as another housemate will be sacked during the live eviction show tomorrow.

    Recall that The Nation predicted that Anto or Bambam may be evicted last Sunday, going by comments by fans which indicate the popularity of each housemate.

    It has been observed that the popularity of Bambam has not improved just like that of her partner, Teddy A. Bambam has been widely criticized for being pretentious, thus, with Anto out, Bambam may likely be the housemate to be evicted tomorrow, unless something unusual happens.

    The unusual happened last week when after publishing the results of the votes, it was observed that Lolu scored higher than Teddy A whom some believe is one of the top contenders for the coveted prize of N45 million. Such unusual situation fired by fans of Lolu to improve his chances at the prize, is what Bambam needs to scale through tomorrow’s hurdle.

    As it stands, the two housemates with less popularity among fans are Bambam and Rico, whose popularity outside the house has not been so tested.
