BBNaija S10: Dede Afraid to Face Mother After Show, Seeks ‘Extension’ in Biggie’s House

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Dede, has expressed fears about life after the show, admitting she is uncertain about how her mother will receive her once she returns home.

During her diary session on Thursday, Dede revealed that her mother’s reaction worries her—especially after host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu called her out for sharing a romantic moment under the duvet with fellow housemate Kola, despite publicly claiming to be in a serious relationship outside the house.

Half-joking, half-serious, she asked Big Brother if there was any chance she could remain in the house even after the season ends.

“Yes, Big Brother, I would like to know if it’s possible to stay back after the show because I don’t know if I’ll be home. I think I’m scared of my mom, especially after what happened last Sunday. I don’t know if she will want to take me back. Can I stay back?”

In his usual witty fashion, Biggie responded with humor, teasing:

“Then it will become Dede’s house.”

The moment sparked laughter among fans but also highlighted the emotional toll reality TV can have on contestants when family expectations clash with the raw exposure of the show.

Opinion:

Dede’s confession is a reminder that behind the glitz, drama, and entertainment of BBNaija, housemates are still real people with real families, emotions, and consequences waiting outside the house. It takes courage to openly admit fears of rejection, especially from a parent whose approval means everything.

Her playful request to “stay back” in Biggie’s house was laced with humor, but it also carried truth—sometimes the BBNaija house feels safer than reality itself. While fans may laugh, many can relate to the fear of disappointing loved ones and facing judgment for choices made under pressure.

One can only hope Dede’s mother remembers that the show is an amplified bubble of emotions and not the total definition of her daughter’s character. Mistakes happen, lessons are learned, and what truly matters is how she grows from the experience.

If anything, this shows why Big Brother isn’t just entertainment—it’s also a mirror of real struggles, love, and acceptance. And for Dede, perhaps this fear will be the very push that strengthens her bond with her mother after the show.
