Ilebaye, Khalid Exit BBNaija Level Up in Second Eviction Night
The second eviction night of Big Brother Naija ‘Level Up’ opened with a montage of the housemates nominated for eviction.
Like last week, the tension was high among Level two housemates as five of them, Groovy, Bryann, Khalid, Ilebaye, and Phyna were nominated for eviction, and it was certain that at least one of them would be leaving the house.
Before announcing the evicted housemates, the audience was taken through the week’s recap, covering the Head of House and Wager games, Modella and Khalid’s birthday, ego clashes, and fights for ships.
Ebuka also had a chat with housemates from both levels. For Level 1 housemates, he asked Adekunle about his discussion about the possibility of Sheggz using his relationship with Bella as a strategy to win. Sheggz, on the other hand, shared that he doubts Adekunle’s vibe and genuinity.
The host also asked Allysyn about the current state of her relationship with Adekunle, and she shared that she was initially confused, but she’s now clear about them being just friends.
For level 2 housemates, the media personality asked Bryann about his strained relationship with Ilebaye and about Daniella’s doubt about Khalid’s intention and using her as a strategy to win.
Co-host, Miz Vick, had a chat with some members of the live audience asking who they felt might be going home in the night’s eviction. Two of the audience members predicted that Ilebaye might be the next evicted housemate.
Like the previous eviction nights, the audience was treated to a live performance from another reigning artist, Crayon, who performed two of the hottest songs in the country right now, Overdose and Ijo (Labalaba).
After a round of breaks and palpable tension, Ebuka announced Ilebaye as the third evicted housemate of the season, and this was followed closely by the announcement of Khalid as the next housemate to leave the show.
For Khalid, he plans to continue his business after the show. He shared that he plans to leverage the visibility he got from the show to grow his business. As a side note, he told the audience that his relationship with Daniella is serious. Sadly, Ilebaye wasn’t available to share her plans.
Following Ilebaye and Khalid’s eviction, the total number of housemates that have left Level 1 is five, with four evictions and one disqualification.
BBNaija Season 7 is headline sponsored by Pocket by Piggyvest (formerly Abeg) and associate sponsored by Flutterwave.

House of Reps Calls for N500bn Recapitalization of DisCos
House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to enforce a minimum capital base of N500 billion for electricity distribution companies (DisCos) to continue operations.
The lawmakers argue that only financially robust DisCos can ensure efficient service delivery and maximum consumer satisfaction.
This resolution was passed during Wednesday’s plenary following a motion by Ibrahim Isiaka, a representative from Ogun State.
Isiaka criticized the current operations of DisCos, describing their actions as a threat to the economic stability and welfare of Nigerians.
He highlighted consumer complaints regarding the replacement of electricity meters, noting that DisCos often demand additional payments despite consumers already financing the installation of meters.
Isiaka expressed concern over the financial burden this places on households and businesses struggling with economic challenges.
The motion also raised issues of consumer trust, alleging that DisCos operate with impunity and disregard for consumer rights, despite oversight from the regulatory authorities and the House Committee on Power.
The lawmakers unanimously adopted the motion through a voice vote conducted by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
They urged the Ministry of Power to take immediate steps to address the “reckless actions” of DisCos, labeling them as non-state actors threatening Nigeria’s economy.
The House further mandated the recapitalization of DisCos to a minimum of N500 billion, insisting that only financially capable operators should be allowed to continue providing electricity services.
Additionally, the House Committee on Power was directed to investigate the activities of DisCos to ensure accountability and protect consumer rights.
