Tsakute Jonah, popularly known as Saskay, has been evicted from the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality television show.
The 22-year-old was the second housemate to be evicted at the live eviction show on Sunday, in addition to Yousef.
Saskay is the second richest housemate in the Season 6 of the reality TV show with a total of N5m winnings, following Liquorose who holds the number one spot, having won N5.3m so far.
The bulk of her earnings in the house comes from the N1.55m grand prize won as she emerged as the first position in one of the arena games sponsored by Piggyvest.
Prior to joining the show, the ex-housemate was a model.
Speaking to the host of the show, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Saskay expressed relief at leaving the house.
She said, “I was a little tired of the whole reality TV show thing. Though I knew what I was signing up for, but it is not enough knowing; experiencing it is a whole different thing.”
When asked about her plans after leaving the BBNaija house, she said, “First I would focus on is my lip gloss brand, followed by my retirement homes plan. Those are my major plans for now.”
