The emotional highs and lows in Big Brother Naija Season 10 continued on Thursday as housemate Mensan broke down in tears during his diary session with Biggie.
Struggling to hold back his emotions, Mensan opened up about the burden he feels to provide for his family and the absence of a father figure in his life. He expressed a deep desire to become the strong support his family expects him to be.
“I have always wanted a father figure in my life. I am not just here for myself. I just want to get to a point where I am the one that can carry the family like they want me to,” he said amid tears.
In a moment of comfort, Biggie told him, “Wipe your tears because diamonds are unbreakable.”
Mensan also noted feeling awkward speaking English with some of the male housemates, describing the interactions as “just vibes.”
His emotional outpouring has sparked mixed reactions online. While some viewers sympathised, others criticised what they believe is a calculated attempt to gain pity.
Here are some reactions from social media:
- @Beryl: “Imisi vs Mensan vs Kulture, same strategy.”
- @lolo: “They are about to piss me off with those tears.”
- @mhiz OGO: “I am crying and laughing at the same time, this guy is a handful.”
- @Governor: “I prefer Kulture poverty story.”
- @Viva la Vida: “This crying is irritating.”
- @Humble Mubarik: “Mensan should stop acting on a pity story because BBNaija viewers don wise up this time.”
- @cecillia Akinbode: “This crying is literally getting out of hand.”
