Big Brother Titans: Nigerians accused of being xenophobic

Big Family elephants has been raising since Sunday, 15 January 2022. still, it seems that the intention of the show isn’t giving what many anticipated when it was touted that it’ll feature both South Africans and Nigerians living together in the Big Family manse.

For times now, South Africans have been labeled as jingoistic. Indeed by Nigerian stars like Tiwa Savage and Burna Boy. This is despite coming to the country after making unsupported allegations on that South Africa is dangerous for Nigerians.

As similar, for observers now tuned in to Big Brother elephants, it seems that South Africans might not be as jingoistic as suggested when compared to the sentiments participated by their Nigerian counterparts.

observers of BB elephants have picked up that the womanish Nigerian housemates, specifically Jenni O, Olivia, Yvonne, and Jaypee have formed their own crowd in the Big Brother House. A fact which on the face makes sense considering that they partake the same nation.

still, it sluggishly came clear that their crowd was formed in an trouble to separate themselves from the South African housemates. Especially following their subtle obnoxious commentary. More so when Yvonne appertained to the South African womanish “ housemates ” as effects.

If we try'na overcome that xenophobic thing we don't need those 4 girls in the house. #BBTitians

I feel if Jenny O leaves, there’ll be more tolerance from the other girls. I can’t help feeling she’s a tad bit xenophobic #BBTitians

also, the subtle other subliminal attacks on South Africans in general. A fact which has led numerous on the timeline opining on how the world view suggests that South Africans are jingoistic against other African ethnicities. still, with the show, it becomes clear that perhaps South Africans are accommodating to a fault as they’ve yet to date made commentary on their Nigerian housemates.

South Africa that are big in xenophobic character .lmao my only fear is let your people not harm our people in that house shaa

it's giving Xenophobic vibes, the dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.

That time SAn housemates are welcoming and willing to learn about their culture. I have been saying this SAn are not Xenophobic we are just Patriotic.#BBTitans #BBTitians #BBTitan https://t.co/jr0hiNkf4f

Y’all bfr I’m not even defending those girls but you guys seriously can’t be the one talking about this! Y’all are the least person to talk about it

To me this #BBTitians is a political and diplomatic move to unite both countries because of the xenophobic history between them. Even in the show, they find it difficult to co-exist I pray this method works to strengthen the diplomatic ties between both countries.🇿🇦🇳🇬
