Abuja (Sundiata Post) — Big Brother Nigeria 2017 edition’s viewers’ favourite, 23-year-old rapper, Efe Michael Ejeba, who emerged as the last Housemate standing, and won the N25 million star prize, on Sunday night, may have averted an ugly end, which may have seen one of his fans, Nikilah, committing suicide.
Apart from the star prize, Efe also took home a brand new Kia Sorento SUV, after garnering 57.6 percent of the votes among the last five contestants on the show.
On the eve of the final day of the reality TV show, one of Efe’s fans, Nikilah, threatened to commit suicide, if Efe was not named the winner of the 2017 BBNaija the following day.
The Calabar-born face model and fashion designer made her threat via her Twitter account, @Godsgiftele, by 2:27 p.m. on Saturday, April 8.
“I WILL COMMIT SUCIDE IF EFE DOESNT WIN THE 25MIL..#BBNajia,” Nikilah threatened with her picture.

Nikilah’s threat actually attracted replies.
But most of the replies, however, chastised Nikilah for making such a sensitive threat.
Here are some of the replies Nikilah’s tweet attracted:
It would be recalled that Efe, who is fondly addressed as ‘Based On Logistics’ by his fans, was named the winner in South Africa, where the show was staged.
He came out tops, after winning the hearts of majority of the reality TV fans ahead of 13 other housemates.
Among those, who threw their weight behind Efe were celebrities like Olamide, Wizkid, Annie Idibia, Basket Mouth, Ali Nuhu, Karen Igho among others.

Although Efe hails from Warri, Delta State, he was born in Jos, Plateau State, where he attended the Federal Government College, Jos.
He, thereafter, graduated in Economics from the University Of Jos.
He went to Lagos State, after his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, launching an Extended Play (EP) record called, Lagos, shortly before the Big Brother Nigeria game came up.
