Disqualified housemate from the BBNaija ‘Lockdown’ edition, Erica Nlewedim, has criticized the show’s production team for their handling of leaks, especially as Ilebaye emerged as the winner of Season 8.
Prior to the show’s finale, an alleged insider had claimed that the former winner, Mercy Eke, had topped the poll, but the show organizers favored Ilebaye to win.
After the announcement of the show’s winner, Erica expressed her frustration on the X platform, urging the show’s production team to improve their leak prevention measures. She revealed that she had known Ilebaye would be the winner since Saturday night, which spoiled the surprise of the show.
In her post, Erica wrote, “BBN production should do better with the leaks. It was already known since last night.”
Erica’s criticism highlights the importance of maintaining the secrecy and suspense of reality TV shows like BBNaija to keep the audience engaged and surprised by the outcomes.
