Three housemates, including Yerins, Beatrice and Niyi have been evicted from the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye edition at the first eviction show on Sunday night.
Four new housemates also made a surprise entry into the house on the same night.
The host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, introduced them as Michael, Kayvee, JMK and Queen.
Meet the new housemates:
1. Michael
Full name: Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene
“A bad boy with magnetism” and “open minded,” are some of the words Ebuka uses to describe himself. This 28-year-old musician and aspiring filmmaker was born in Lagos, then moved to the United States of America as a teenager – but is currently based in Abuja.
Calling himself a “curious participant of life”, Ebuka likes to explore interests and people with an open mind and maintains he is dedicated to growing into the best version of himself. He believes being the product of two different societies; America and Nigeria, has created an interesting perspective on life that many viewers will be able to relate to.
In his free time, you will find Ebuka writing, creating music or pursuing his interests in cinematography.
2. Kayvee
Full name: Gbolahan Ololade
Originally from Ogun State, 26-year-old Kayvee currently resides in Lagos, where he works as a photographer. His hobbies include playing football, clubbing and playing cards.
He believes he is innovative and fun to be around, and says people call him handsome. Kayvee says his career high point is when he had the opportunity to photograph one of Nigeria’s biggest artists.
While he likes to experiment with styling and colouring his hair, he says that harassment in the streets has put a damper on this aspect of his life.
3. JMK
Full name: Jumoke Zainab Adedoyin
A 23-year-old law graduate from Kwara State, JMK has aspirations of becoming a certified member of the Nigerian Bar. Apart from music, dancing and traveling, she enjoys cooking and the simple pleasures of life.
She describes herself as “a sexy, confident and adventurous foodie” who loves to help people.
She believes her presence in the Big Brother Naija House will help build her brand and will help position her to advance further in her career.
In addition, she wants the exposure and life changing experience that the platform provides, to assist in her advocacy for social issues.
4. Queen
Full name: Queen Mercy Atang
Queen, 26, is a philanthropist and aspiring politician. She hails from Akwa Ibom State and has a mom she adores and three beautiful siblings that she loves.
She is a Tansian University graduate and an international beauty queen. Queen describes herself as “beautiful, courageous, and fearless” and reckons being raised by a single mother taught her a lot about life.
An ambitious and driven person who values everyone around her, she considers herself a true leader and an excellent communicator who is very calculating, loyal, and peaceful.
