I’m Tired Of Seeing My Loved Ones Leave Nigeria – Elozonam

Ex–BBNaija housemate, Elozonam Ogbolu has come out to say that the current japa trend has affected his relationship with family and friends.

He recently had his say while speaking on the Uncolured Podcast, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, his twin brother’s departure to a different country has actually changed their once close-knit bond, and there is really nothing to fight about ever since he left the country.

Elo added that he is tired of people close to him leaving the country and it now makes him wary of making new friends.

His words, “For my twin brother and I, because we’re twins we tend to fight or disagree a lot by virtue of the fact that we are twins. But after he left, there was nothing to fight about. Now I have to be intentional about calling him because there are days and weeks where I don’t hear from him, so I’m annoyed but I understand that people have to go and do what they need to survive and have a good life for themselves.

This whole Nigerian situation is something else and between 2018 to 2024 the first person who left was my boss at the time with his family. After him, it was like he opened the floodgates and people started leaving. I’m tired of people leaving and the adverse effect is that you are now too wary of making friends because you won’t know if they will wake up and leave tomorrow. Nigeria isn’t getting any better and we all know this. Everyone wants a good life for themselves and would leave someday.”

WOW.

Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.

Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
