Mercy Eke has emerged the 4th winner of BBNaija after she was announced the winner of the 2019 edition tagged Pepper Dem.

The last five housemates were Mercy, Frodd, Mike, Omashola, and Seyi and on Sunday, October 6, 2019, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the eviction of Seyi, Omashola, and Frodd from the Big Brother House.

Seyi was evicted as the 21st housemate leaving the house while Omashola emerged the 22nd housemate to be evicted from the house.
Minutes after, Frodd became the 23rd housemate to be evicted.

According to the organisers, Mercy will be rewarded with N30 million cash prize, a top of the range SUV from Nigerian automaker, Innoson Motors; a trip to Dubai for two packaged by TravelBeta; a home make-over courtesy Scanfrost; a year’s supply of Pepsi and One Africa Fest VVIP experience; a year’s supply of Indomie noodles & Munch it; and a brand new Oppo mobile smartphone. There’s also a bonus prize of two VIP tickets to watch a European Football final game LIVE, courtesy Bet9ja.

The Pepper Dem season ended in grand style with thrilling performances by top Nigerian music artistes Tiwa Savage, M.I Abaga, and Patoranking.

The nomination process started like it normally does on Monday night with housemates putting up two of their fellow housemates up for possible eviction.

In what could have been Jeff and Thelma topping the list with six and five nomination nods respectively, Biggie in yet another twist announces that all 16 housemates have been nominated and hence up for possible eviction next week Sunday.

The reason for this decision as Biggie later revealed was their punishment for disobeying house rules which he said included: refusal to attend morning workout sessions, whispering and speaking inaudibly amongst other infringements.

Though it’s unknown to the housemates that Tacha and Seyi have not being evicted from the house which makes it more interesting.

Diane said she and Tacha weren’t close so she didn’t bother hugging her as she left the house but said she was also impressed with her attitude in the house because she came out as a very bold and confident housemate.

As for Mercy she said the reason she stayed away from Tacha was because of her attitude and the manner in which she handled situations in the house. She said Tacha had a way of always calling everyone out whenever she had something to say, even if she was referring to someone which wasn’t cool.

Tacha and Seyi were two of the five housemates on eviction list alongside Mike, Frodd and Tuoyo.
According to the voting results, Tuoyo was the evicted housemate with a total vote of 6.66% while Tacha led the votes with 27.25% while Seyi had 26.72%, Mike had 26.30%, Frodd had 13.07%.

During the eviction show, the host, Ebuka announced that there would be a fake eviction after the results of the eviction list was given to him.

Seyi and Tacha were fake evicted from the house with 14 remaining housemates believing the two had been truly evicted. The two housemates were asked to leave the house and all the housemates believed they had been truly evicted.

After their arrival at the ‘Secret Room,’ Biggie sent the two housemates the rules of the ‘Secret Room.’

The basic rules to the #BBNaija Secret Room:
1. They are not Evicted
2. They are still Housemates and must conduct themselves as such.
3. They must not be noisy.
4. No whispering allowed, they must speak in low tones.

After spending one day rehearsing, the housemates finally came together to give their best as they tried to win the task.

The first song of the day was Wizkid’s ‘ Fever’ which was performed by the housemates. At the end of the song, Biggie praised some of the housemates for their excellent performance.

However, some of the housemates got disqualified from the task, for singing the lines that weren’t meant for them. The first housemates to get the red card were Mercy, Khafi, and Sir Dee.

Nelson, Diane and Jeff tried their best but couldn’t make it to the finish line. It became a battle between Seyi and Jackye. At the end of the interesting challenge, Jackye came out tops as the winner of the ‘Know Da Lyrics’ task.

Mike, Tuoyo, Tacha, Seyi, and Frodd have all been nominated for eviction ahead of Sunday eviction night. Mike and Frodd had six nominations each while Seyi and Tuoyo had five nominations and Tacha had four nominations.

Omashola, Jackye, Khafi, Mercy, Ike, Diane, Nelson, Jeff, Ike, Sir Dee, are housemates who escaped being nominated for Eviction by housemates.
