BBNaija Reunion: Fans Question Ivatar’s Absence as Thelma and Big Soso Clash in Explosive First Episode

The highly anticipated Big Brother Naija Season 10 Reunion officially kicked off on Monday night, but while fans were eager to relive the drama and unresolved tensions from the season, one noticeable absence quickly became a major talking point.

Former housemate Ivatar was nowhere to be seen as the reunion brought together 29 of the season's contestants, including Faith, who was disqualified during the show.

The absence of the South Africa-based DJ immediately sparked speculation among viewers, many of whom took to social media to ask why she was missing from the reunion.

So far, neither Ivatar nor the show's organizers have offered any explanation for her absence, leaving fans to wonder whether she will make a later appearance or if she opted out of participating altogether.

While questions surrounding Ivatar dominated online conversations, the reunion itself wasted no time delivering the drama viewers had anticipated.

The first major confrontation of the night involved former housemates Thelma Lawson and Big Soso, whose heated exchange quickly became the standout moment of the episode.

The disagreement reportedly began when Big Soso stepped in to defend Isabella during a discussion involving Thelma. What started as a verbal disagreement soon escalated into a tense argument filled with sharp exchanges and personal jabs.

During the clash, Big Soso boasted about her financial success, claiming to own a company in the United Kingdom and suggesting that she was wealthier than Thelma, a skincare entrepreneur based in Port Harcourt.

Thelma accused Big Soso of involving herself in an issue that did not concern her, but Big Soso responded with a remark that instantly caught the attention of fellow housemates and viewers.

According to her, she "bought" the problem because she had the money to do so, a statement that drew cheers and laughter from some of the other reunion participants.

Ivatar's Absence Could Become a Bigger Story

Although the reunion's first episode delivered the drama fans expected, Ivatar's absence may end up becoming one of the season's biggest mysteries if no explanation is provided.

Reality TV reunions are often designed to revisit unfinished conversations, settle scores, and give contestants a chance to address public perceptions. As one of the season's notable personalities, many viewers expected Ivatar to be part of those discussions.

Until an official statement is made, speculation is likely to continue.

Meanwhile, the explosive exchange between Thelma and Big Soso suggests that the reunion is set to provide plenty of entertainment in the coming weeks. If the opening episode is anything to go by, fans should expect more confrontations, revelations, and unresolved tensions to surface as former housemates come face-to-face once again.

For now, the reunion has succeeded in doing exactly what viewers hoped it would—getting people talking.
