Wild agonisation is greeting the Sunday eviction of Hermes from the ongoing BBNaija contest.
He was favoured to battle to the top alongside Phyna but he has now got the red card.
Many had though that his widespread social media appeal and fans base would do the magic for him.
But he was on Sunday evicted alongside Groovy and Shegzz.
Hermes’ fans are very sad, based on their comments, while some are even alleging some abracadabra and comparing the duel to what may happen in Nigeria’s 2023 elections – even if jokingly.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the host of the show, announced the eviction process.
According to the vote percentage, Hermes garnered 15.83 per cent, while Groovy and Sheggz had 14.63 per cent and 13.26 per cent respectively.
Hermes, upon eviction, said he would be open for anything in the sports and arts sectors.
Groovy, a fashion designer and model, said, “I will be going back to everything I left behind, with this space, I know everything had changed for me.”
Also, Sheggz, a footballer said, “I will go home, relax, see my mother and my family, the world should wait to see what happens next.”
The News Agency of Nigeria also reports that just a week to the end of the show, eight housemates are currently on the show with six – Chichi, Phyna, Bella, Daniella, Bryan and Adekunle bidding for the grand prize and two “rider” housemates – Rachael and Chizzy.
The riders are not designed to win the grand prize.
The show which was launched July 23 and July 24 will end Oct. 2 when the overall winner will be announced.
