BBNaija 10: Faith’s Disqualification Is Justified – Tacha Says

Natasha Akide, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, who is popularly known as Tacha, has reacted to the disqualification of Faith Adewale from the ongoing 10th season of the show.

Recall that Faith was disqualified from the competition following a scuffle with fellow housemate Sultana during a group task rehearsal.

Reacting during an interview on TVC News, Tacha stated that Faith’s disqualification was justified.

“There’s nothing disappointing about Faith’s disqualification. I saw the clip of his altercation with Sultana. As much as he is always demanding respect, he should also know that respect is reciprocal.

“Whatever the task was, I don’t think it was that deep for them to dragged the bucket to the point of injuring Sultana. When you go into the house, there’s a rule book. You know you can’t at any point be physical with another housemate. And if you do, the judgement is in Big Brother’s hand,” Tacha said.

It would be recalled that Tacha was disqualified from the ‘Pepper Dem’ season in 2019 for violent conduct.

The disqualification, which happened days before the much-anticipated grand finale, has sparked mixed reactions from housemates and viewers alike.
