A promising contestant on the singing reality show, Nigerian Idol Season 6, Faith Jason has been evicted from the show.
The 25-year-old singer got booted out on Sunday, leaving Comfort, Francis, Kingdom and Akunna to vie for the ultimate prize.
The development was not amusing to many Twitter fans who believe that Faith is way better than Comfort Alalade, a young singer who has survived every weekend since the show went live with the audience deciding who stays and who goes.
Among those surprised Faith did not make the top four was Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, BBNaija host, who tweeted: “Wow! Can’t believe Faith didn’t make top 4.”
Comfort is number one trending topic in Lagos this morning with over 107,000 tweets. Most of the comments are not in favour of the young lady.
@elano_udom tweeted: “Even the judges sef don tire for Comfort..who dey vote am abegi #NigerianIdol”
@Charisma_iam “So Faith, as in a whole faith had to go and Comfort is still there. It’s the audacity for me.”
@Oluwatracie “Daniel, Emmanuel and now Faith. All 3 were good vocalists/performers yet didn’t make it to the top 4.
@Mc Bankz “Comfort staying and faith going home is an indication that Nigerians will still vote another buhari come 2023.”
@Fuoma “A whole FAITH JASON! Come on you all. And the sponsors of the show, come on! This show is wack!
@Spearssaint “This voting system should be reviewed, the yardstick used 4 qualification shouldn’t be solely on votes alone, gatekeepers should be enforced & talent shouldnt be lost at the expense of “majority carrying the vote” system! Goodbye Faith!”
@Chizzyvivy “The people that are voting for Comfort are the same who voted Laycon and Buhari. Corruption in the high places.”
@OluchiDike4 “This type of talent show is not supposed to be solely about voting. Panels of Judges need to step in sometimes for vetting after a phase.”
@Nwabekeyi “The fact that faith left the show before Comfort is a pointer to why meritocracy can never see the light in Nigeria. Nigerians are Picassos in the act of Nepotism and favouritism. Little wonder country is not working.”
@Uk_ Bernard “Faith Jason going home is never a fair justice from the voting system. Sentiments and bias should no way be the deciding factor to determine an idol at this stage otherwise it’s no Idol at all. No disrespect to Comfort but I think she still got a lot to learn.”
