History was made Sunday night as
Mercy Eke, a video vixen, emerged winner of the Big Brother Naija season 4
after a very emotional and enduring 99 days in the Big Brother Naija House. Amidst
screams and shouts, Mercy was unveiled the winner at a fevered pitch grand
finale show that had five contestants vying for the ultimate prize worth N60
million.
Mike, Mercy, Frodd, Omashola and Seyi
were the only housemates left in the game that premiered on June 30 with 21
housemates. Five other housemates were later added to the game, intensifying
the drama in the 'Pepper Dem' season.
While the last housemates awaited
their fate in the house, the live eviction show kicked off with dance shows
from Dance Machine and Zinny X. It was quickly followed with a groovy
performance by Patoranking.
Seyi was the first to be evicted,
leaving behind Mercy, Omashola, Frodd and Mike. Omashola followed next. Frodd
seemed not to believe his ears. It was as if he expected to be the next to take
his leave after Seyi's exit. He however was the third housemate to leave the
house.

With the three housemates out of the
race, the game was left to Mercy and Mike who were respectively known as Queen
of Highlights and King of Cruise in the show.
After another performance by
Patoranking and Tiwa Savage and the revelation of Seyi as the winner of One.org
Campaign task, Mercy was finally crowned the winner of the show. She was joined
on stage by her beau, Ike, and friend Diane.
Though he missed the coveted crown,
Mike won two million Naira for emerging the best overall timer of the Friday
night arena games.
The fourth season of the reality TV
show marked the first time the show was held in Nigeria after it returned in
2017. Previous editions were held in South Africa.
The house was speculated to have
gulped billions of Naira and will be utilised for other Big Brother Naija
shows.
With its spicy theme, the show was
not void of dramas. There were the love triangles between Khafi, Gedoni and
Venita; the lovebirds Ike and Mercy; the almost lovers Frodd and Esther,
Elozonam and Diane. There were also the spicy housemates like Tacha who
unfortunately was disqualified a week before the finale. Mercy brought her
sexiness with her dance moves on the dance floor, she however got a competition
in Venita, a former video vixen and was once a love interest of Omashola. The
latter was known for his unique Warri lingo and his bluntness. Frodd was the
fresh and odd guy, the slow tiger with big paws. Of all the finalists, he was
among the least expected housemate to stay in the finale.
Who could forget the naughty Joe who
provoked Tacha, or Esther and her sassiness. Despite their short stay in the
house, Ella and Thelma added some spice to the show with their banters.
The season witnessed a total of 22
evictions and one disqualification during its 14-week run. Over 240 million
votes were received in this season with over 50 million votes received in the
last week of the show.
Sponsored by Bet9ja, the winner goes
home with N30 million cash prize, an SUV from Innoson Motors, two VIP tickets
to an European Cup final courtesy of Bet9ja, a trip to Dubai, an electronic
home upgrade from Scanfrost, an Oppo mobile phone, a one-year supply of Pepsi
drink, Indomie noodles and Munch It snack. – This Day
