Former Big Brother Naija All Stars contestant, Uriel Oputa, has voiced her dissatisfaction with the show’s eviction jury system, calling for its removal.
Her plea follows her recent eviction from the popular reality show, which sparked controversy due to the involvement of the jury in her departure.
Uriel Oputa, who exited the competition this past Sunday, found herself at the center of a storm when two out of three jurors voted for her eviction, despite her not receiving the lowest number of fan votes. This unexpected outcome prompted Uriel to express her concerns over the fairness of the process.
In an exclusive interview with Cool FM Nigeria in Lagos, Uriel Oputa conveyed her disappointment, saying, “I’m not happy about it [my eviction], obviously because I didn’t have the lowest [fans’] votes. I just feel like I was robbed of an opportunity that I shouldn’t have been robbed of.”
“I was giving content and amazing highlights. I just felt like my eviction was just too soon. I wanted to stay longer. To be honest with you, I wasn’t quite sure if I would win and winning wasn’t my objective. I just wanted to be there long enough.
“I think the jury thing left a little bit of sour taste in my mouth. I think they [organisers] should scrap it. And if they definitely scrap it, they better put me back in there.”
