Nollywood Sexiest: Gbenro Ajibade, Tope Osoba go out

The picture for the next phase of the Sexiest in Nollywood has taken shape as twenty women and men of the original 25 who began the quest have emerged as Gbenro Ajibade and Tope Osoba failed to make the bill after poor outing in the week's voting.

Tope Osoba has been particularly weak for sometime now, failing to boost her weekly voting and ultimately her cumulative votes which have kept her going for weeks now could not hold out any longer. For Gbenro, it was a gallant fight, that pitch the battle between him, Kalu Ikeagwu, O.C. Ukeje and Emeka Enyiocha but trio somehow triumph over the model/actor. It was a close call but a call that saw the trio surviving yet again.



Gbenro has now joined Kenneth Okolie,Michael Okon, Gideon Okeke, and Bobby Obodo on the sideline, in the men's category of the quest while Tope joins Uche Iwuji, Ejiro Okurame, Nuella Njubigbo and Damilola Adegbite, at the exit in the women's category.

Now, the battle continues with 20 men and 20 women with 5 men and 5 women still sitting precariously in the 'drop zone'. With the ouster of Tope Osoba and Gbenro Ajibade, Anita Joseph and Pat Attah move up into the 'Drop Zone', being the two contestants with the weakest cumulative votes among those in the 'Safe Zone'.



For weeks now, Anita seems to have gone to sleep, depending only on her cumulative votes to keep afloat. She had a strong beginning but later pelted out in substance. Same goes for Pat Attah who started like a good runner only to fade away as the quest progresses.

One person that had a fabulous week is Chigozie Atuanya. Another week like the previous one for the actor and he may see himself into the 'Safe Zone'. Angela Okorie too, is worthy of mention as she put up a good fight last week to boost her run.

However, it is important to note that whether you are on the 'Drop Zone' or on the 'Safe Zone', the eviction hammer could go any way depending on the outcome of the week's voting and previous accumulation of votes. Keep voting.

Update: Kenneth Okolie, Ejiro Okurame exit Sexiest in Nollywood

Now, it looks like the real contenders are separating themselves from the pretenders. Last week, we saw Damilola Adegbite and Bobby Obodo exiting the quest to join Nuella Njubigbo, Uche Iwuji, Michael Okon and Gideon Okeke who were the first set of contenders to leave the quest after failing to meet the bill.



Maybe it is not so surprising that Ejiro Okurame and Kenneth Okolie are bowing out this week because of their poor run for a while  Kenneth Okolie particularly ought to have been ousted long before now but his cumulative votes kept him hanging on until this week when his luck completely ran out. Ejiro, on the other hand, had it coming for her week in, week out, in trickles but not good enough to keep her in this week.

The number of people who have exited the quest is now four men and four women, leaving 21 apiece of the original 25 that were nominated for this year's edition of Sexiest in Nollywood.

For better understanding of progress in the quest, the contenders were quartered in two divisions; the safe zone and the drop zone. The people in the safe zone consist of people who are having healthy run in the quest while the drop zone is the red alert zone, comprising people having shaky run with huge possibility of dropping from the quest.

Now the 10 people sitting in the drop zone are the eight survivors from previous week. They are Angela Okorie, Chita Agwu, Queen Nwokoye and Tope Osoba, for the female category; and Chigozie Atuanya, Kalu Ikeagwu, Emeka Enyiocha and O.C. Ukeje, for the male category. Now completing the number are Biodun Okeowo and Gbenro Ajibade.

However, it is important to note that whether you are on the drop zone or on the safe zone, the eviction hammer could go any way depending on the outcome of the week's voting and previous accumulation of votes. Keep voting.

Sexiest in Nollywood: The countdown hots up, 2 down more to go!

It seems the going is getting tougher and tougher with people only hanging on the fringes having to be left off the moving train in the Sexiest in Nollywood.

Since the 'Quest' started a couple of months ago, several Nollywood stars have been drawn up to dry their luck with just 25 men and 25 women making it to the starting line.



Now that the race has begun, some are finding it hard to keep with the pace of others. 3 men and 3 women were drawn up for eviction last week in the hope that the week's voting could come up to salvage the continuing presence in the 'Quest'.

However, only Yvonne Okoro and Alex Ekubo made it back into the 'Quest' with the duo of Nuella Njubigbo and Uche Iwuji bowing out in the female category. Michael Okon and Gideon Okeke put up a good fight but yet failed to make it back.

While Yvonne Okoro and Alex Ekubo are back, their stand isn't looking like anything built of cast iron. Their only consolation is that there are several others standing on the precipice just as they are.

The stars on the brink include: Alex Ekubo, Bobby Obodo, Kalu Ikeagwu, Chigozie Atuanya and Emeka Enyiocha for men. The women are Yvonne Okoro, Damilola Adegbite, Ejiro Okurame, Chita Agwu and Angela Okorie.

The remaining others are looking good but not enough as one week voting can tip the balance of the scale, with those on the brink pushing in to edge out those supposedly in the comfort zones. Keep voting!

Keep voting to save any of these stars. Who goes down? Nuella, Okoro, Iwuji, Gideon, Ekubo or Okon?
