#BBNaija: I never asked Nini for a relationship— Saga
Adeolu Okusaga better than known as Saga, former Big Brother Naija housemate, says he never asked fellow housemate Nini for a relationship while in the house.
The reality tv star, in an interview with Punch, said his relationship with Nini while in the house was not about strategy but friendship.
Saga said, “I am a passionate lover and a loyal friend. That was how I was raised, so I was just being myself on the show. Nini was the person I was most connected with; and I never asked her for a relationship or for us to be more than friends.
“And, there was no time she told me I was crossing the boundary. We had a pure and amazing energy, and we never had any fight except when Big Brother gave us tasks (to fake fights). I believe our relationship in the house was a bit intense but that’s what the competition does to one.
“My relationship with Nini in the house was not about strategy. It was all about friendship. She was my friend in the house and we’re still friends since we got outside the house.”
Saga continued, “I believe that there must be a level of trust for a boyfriend to allow his girlfriend come to Big Brother Naija. In the case of Nini and I, we didn’t cross the line. So, I guess Nini and her boyfriend are fine and still dating.
“I respect her relationship and my career is the most important thing on my mind. Since I didn’t win the show, I need to make the best use of what I have right now. I am not looking for any relationship.”
Speaking on why he reacted the way he did when Biggie took Nini to a secret room in the house he said, “When people leave the house, one gets to spend a week knowing they might go, and one gets the time to say goodbye. But in that case, it was like she was whisked away, so it felt like death. I was the last person who had a fight with her before she left; so I felt maybe, I triggered whatever they said made her leave.
“I felt guilty that I could have caused her sudden exit from the house, and the fact that she didn’t get to talk to me before she left reminded me of my mum’s demise.”
