Former Big Brother Naija housemate Pere Egbi has called on the show’s organizers to issue disqualifications following multiple altercations in the house — some involving physical fights and even threats of violence.
Pere voiced his concerns on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, after several heated confrontations erupted among housemates, reportedly over chicken.
“People must chop disqualification for this house. At least one. How will you fight over chicken???? Madness!!!!!!!” Pere wrote.
Housemates Clash Over Chicken
One of the most viral incidents occurred Thursday night when housemates Jason Jae and Victory engaged in a physical altercation after Victory allegedly picked up a piece of chicken that Jason had reserved. The confrontation quickly escalated into a scuffle, with both men falling to the ground before other housemates intervened.
That same night, another conflict broke out between Denari and Otega at the after-party. Denari attempted to take grilled chicken from Otega’s plate, prompting an intense verbal exchange. Denari yelled, “You dey mad?? Are you a goat? You fit chop that thing wey you give me??” Otega fired back, “Am I Big Brother?”
Calls for Strikes Over Threats and Language Violations
Popular skit maker Steve Chuks also weighed in on the rising tension, criticizing housemate Imisi for violating show rules.
“Imisi suppose collect 2 strikes sha, the speaking of Yoruba and the threats that she will stab someone???? C’mon!!!” he tweeted.
Imisi had earlier threatened to stab fellow housemate Koyin with a fork, and also spoke Yoruba in the heat of their altercation — both of which are against BBNaija rules, which mandate the use of English only and prohibit threats or physical violence.
“Fake Tears and Drama for Cameras” — Housemates Speak Out
In a separate conversation, housemates Denari and Danboskid accused some of their fellow contestants of faking emotions and drama for screen time.
“People escalate things in this house… It’s a performance,” Denari claimed. “Some tears I have seen are not genuine.”
Danboskid added, “Kaybobo was crying because he wants to have the attention he saw the housemates giving to Mensan.”
What’s Next?
Season 10 of Big Brother Naija features 29 housemates vying for a grand prize of ₦150 million. While the show is only in its early weeks, it’s already generating buzz for its intense drama and conflict-filled atmosphere.
As of now, Big Brother has not issued any official punishments, but with pressure mounting from fans and ex-housemates like Pere, disciplinary actions may be on the horizon.
