Faith Jason, a 25-year-old singer has been evicted from the Nigerian Idol season 6 show.
Faith, who was among the top five Nigerian Idol finalists had to leave the show after he secured the lowest number of votes, leaving 4 other constants to battle for the prize.
His exit has left four contestants: Comfort, Emmanuel, Akunna and Kingdom to fight for the prize.
However, it came as a surprise to some fans as they took to Twitter lamenting about the voting system and pity party votes for Comfort.
According to some, Faith deserved to be among the four not Comfort.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, BBNaija host, expressing shock about Faith’s exit on his Twitter page wrote: “Wow! Can’t believe Faith didn’t make top 4.”
Here are other comments gathered by Soireenews from Twitter:
@Mc Bankz “Comfort staying and faith going home is an indication that Nigerians will still vote another buhari come 2023.”
@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.
@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.”
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.”
Meanwhile, the top four finalists on Sunday night left the audience and the judges in awe-inspiring performances as they performed two songs each.
Faith Jason joins Faith Mac, Dotun, Clinton, Daniel, Beyonce, and Emmanuel as the evicted contestants on this year's Nigerian Idol.
The Nigerian Idol organizers also confirmed his exit via a post made on their Instagram stories.
They wrote; "Sad to see @officialfaithjason leave the #NigerianIdol journey tonight. Wish him all the best for the future,"
