Former BBNaija housemate Princess Onyejekwe has said her comments on the back of Uti Nwachukwu’s statement declaring Cee-C the most successful housemate from the 2018 edition was not born out of a bitter place.
Princess had in a reaction to Uti’s comparison said it was insensitive for him to make such outright statement especially because a lot of housemates battle serious emotional issues when they come out of the house.
She added that most of them are only now moving past the depression, anger and anxiety they are battling, therefore, as someone who has been there before, Uti should not be comparing them.
However, speaking further on the matter in an interview with Saturday Beats, Princess said what she wrote “has nothing to do with Cynthia”.
She noted that she was not trying to court controversy but only interested in putting things right.
“Different people can read a particular meaning to an issue,” Princess said. “What I wrote has nothing to do with Cynthia; it would be different if he (Uti) was not a former housemate.
“If it was a random celebrity talking; I wouldn’t mind because the person hasn’t experienced it.
“For someone that has been to the BBN house to openly put an outright comparison amongst people in the same cadre is not the best choice of words.
“He should have praised her without using words that would make others seem not at par.
“Cynthia is doing great and I am doing great and there is no hate. However, somehow, the whole thing escalated; it has nothing to do with me hating Cynthia’s success; I feel he should have done better.
“Even when Forbes brings out a list of successful people; they rank it in their own established scale and rank their net worth to how much they know about them, it doesn’t mean that some people are not richer than others.
“Hate is not the motive here; I felt he should have known better; it could start a crisis, riots are instigated by what people say.
“It is my opinion. I am saying no one should put a yardstick to success. It is just like putting one religion ahead of another. I feel it is unnecessary.”
