Big Brother Naija contestant Wanni has issued an apology to her fellow housemate, Onyeka, following a heated argument between them.
The conflict arose after Onyeka accused Wanni of gossiping about her behind her back. In response, Wanni angrily called Onyeka a “childish b*tch” and insisted that she had only spoken about her in her presence.
Wanni’s twin sister, Handi, criticized her for escalating the situation and using offensive language. Taking her sister’s advice to heart, Wanni decided to apologize to Onyeka, specifically for the derogatory term she used.
Wanni explained that she struggles with her emotions, especially when hurt by those she considers friends. She admitted that her outburst was a result of her frustration and acknowledged that her response was inappropriate.
“I got very angry, which is why I used that word,” Wanni said. “Because I consider us friends, I get very emotional when I feel hurt by my friends. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. You had every right to be upset, and I should have addressed the issue more calmly. I’m sorry for using that term and for how I spoke to you. I’m working on controlling my emotions, and I promise to do better. I don’t gossip behind people’s backs; if I have something to say, I will say it to their face.”
Onyeka accepted Wanni’s apology after hearing her out.
