The first evictions of the Shine Ya Eye season took place tonight, August 8, 2021, and with the evictions came some very shocking twists. This season’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, revealed four new housemates – Michael, KayVee, JMK, and Queen, as Beatrice, Niyi and Yerins were evicted from the show.
Meet the brand new ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemates:
Michael: Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene is a 28-year-old singer-songwriter and aspiring filmmaker from Enugu State. Born in Lagos, he moved to the United States of America as a teenager but is currently based in Abuja. He promises to spice things up in the house by initiating things and keeping his eyes on the prize. His motto is ‘catch cruise, forget’.
KayVee: Gbolahan Ololade is a 26-year-old photographer. His hobbies include playing football, clubbing and playing cards. He has so much positive energy and promises to bring all the dance moves from the streets to the show. He says one of the most significant issues he’s dealt with is police harassment because of his style.
JMK: Jumoke Zainab Adedoyin, who describes herself as “a sexy, confident and adventurous foodie” who loves to help people, is a 23-year-old law graduate. She has dreams of becoming a certified member of the Nigerian Bar. She is ready to slay in the house and will most likely be getting in many fights because she doesn’t like to be crossed.
Queen: Queen Mercy Atang considers herself a true leader and an excellent communicator who is very calculating, loyal, and peaceful. The 26-year-old is a philanthropist and aspiring politician. She doesn’t like wearing clothes and promises to show off her ‘cute and sexy’ body.
As Ebuka got ready to close out the night’s show he told the housemates, “Two weeks have gone, but the season for a lot of you is just about to begin. There’s no need to keep looking back at the past. Look at today as the beginning of a new season. A lot of opinions have been shared about what we think about this season. I’m not going to reiterate them, but I’m looking forward to great things from you. ‘You know say you no fit squeeze water from Eba wey you don make’. So look forward to the future and shine ya eye.”
