    The situation escalated when Faith dragged a basket containing group materials, causing Sultana to fall and sustain an injury.

    She also claimed her hand was hurt in the process.

    The incident has sparked outrage among viewers, with many demanding Faith’s disqualification from the show for causing physical harm to a fellow contestant.

    Big Brother Naija housemate Sultana has revealed that she was nominated for week five possible eviction because other housemates see her as a strong player in the game.

    In her diary session with Biggie, she explained that she’s a strategic player who would prioritise eliminating strong opponents over weaker ones, which likely contributed to her nomination.

    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.”

    However, in a surprising twist, the nominations were nullified after Rooboy, the Head of House, drew a power from the Tree of Trinkets that read “Nullify Nominations”.

    This means that no housemate will face eviction based on the nominations, and the game continues with all contestants safe for the week.

    The news was met with cheers and applause from the housemates, bringing a sense of relief to those who had been nominated.
