Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Boma Akpore, has revealed the emotional reasons behind the end of a relationship that was heading toward marriage.

In an interview on the Chude Jideonwo Podcast, Boma shared that his partner’s family rejected him, citing concerns over his public image and the scrutiny that comes with his fame.

 

According to Boma, he had plans to propose to his partner in August and had even made arrangements for a trip to the United States to buy an engagement ring. However, those plans came to an abrupt halt when his partner’s family expressed strong disapproval of their union.

“The relationship was amazing,” Boma reflected. “We had our ups and downs, but overall, I thought it was perfect. I was planning to propose – I was supposed to get the ring from America. I even told her I was going to marry her.”

 

But things changed dramatically when his partner’s family intervened. “Once the family got involved, they said, ‘This guy? Hell no, impossible.’ And that just shattered everything,” Boma explained. “It was really discouraging.”

 

Boma pointed out that the public attention surrounding his life contributed to the rejection. “If I wasn’t in the entertainment industry or in the public eye, people wouldn’t know some things about me. But once you’re in the public, that’s the price you have to pay.”

 

Despite the setback, Boma emphasized that he cherished the time he spent in the relationship. He added that while things didn’t work out, the experience taught him valuable lessons about love, family dynamics, and the challenges of being a public figure.

Former BBNaija housemate Boma Akpore says a relationship he believed would end in marriage collapsed after his partner’s family refused to accept him.

Speaking in an interview, Boma said he had planned to buy an engagement ring during a trip to the United States and propose to the woman he “really liked.”

He described their relationship as strong and “almost perfect,” despite minor disagreements.

He explained that everything changed when her family stepped in, saying they could not support the relationship because of things they had heard about him.

Phyna, who won the reality show in 2022, shared a heartfelt message on social media, offering both encouragement and advice to Imisi, who is facing intense family tension despite her N150 million Big Brother prize.

In a post on X, Phyna wrote, “To Imisi and to anyone going through the same fire… I’m praying for your strength. My own experience broke me, but I’m slowly rising. I’m rooting for you with everything in me. Don’t handle it like I did, build strong and focus on you, baby girl.”

The post comes amidst ongoing drama between Imisi and her mother, who recently accused her daughter of hatred and revealed the poor living conditions she currently faces, despite Imisi’s financial success from the Big Brother Naija victory.

In a public response, Imisi addressed her mother in Yoruba, stating, “This is why Aunty Debola said you should not show your face to the world. I can’t say all that now, you are in the midst of people. Just overlook everything and leave social media. Don’t worry, I will send you money to rent a new house. I am tired of all this drama. I am still recovering from the stress of Big Brother. Should I be facing another stress now? Please forgive me, I am your daughter.”

This family feud echoes a similar situation from 2023, when Phyna’s father, Felix Otabor, publicly shared his distress over his daughter’s actions following her Big Brother win. Otabor revealed in an interview that Phyna had asked him to stop working as a hearse driver and to sell his cars, promising that she would improve their family’s financial situation.

However, Otabor later struggled financially after selling the vehicles, losing both his business momentum and community standing. He also mentioned that he had not seen his daughter since her victory and felt sidelined as she enjoyed the fruits of her success.

They polled the lowest votes of the week, as verified by Deloitte and confirmed by M-Net. The official voting chart showed Mide with 5.62%, Rooboy with 2.36% and Zita with 1.49%.

She discosed this during a conversation that took place while brainstorming for the task given by Big Brother, Imisi recounted a unfortunate event at the age of 12, where she was sexually assaulted.


She expressed that the experience left a traumatic impact on her, stating that she cannot be left alone in a dark place.

“The first time I was sent out from the house was when I was about 12. There was someone who took me in on the third day to his house, then his mom realised he had brought someone home, and then he took me to the church.

“In the church, there was a store room there, very dark. It was just me alone. Then he left. I don’t know if he had an idea that something was going to happen that night, because I didn’t have anywhere to go, and I couldn’t go back to my parents at that time. So I got raped. That was the first time I got raped in my life,” she said.

“I had to go to school the next day, then I was sent to go back home, then I got raped the second time, there in that same room.

“Then I later realised I was pregnant and I was just 13 years old. I had to abort the child.

“I feel like that is something that traumatises me every time I cannot be in a dark place alone,” Imisi recounted.

The show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, delivered the surprise announcement to a visibly stunned house and live audience. The eviction followed the close of public voting on Thursday, with results audited by Deloitte and confirmed by M-Net.

Immediately after the announcement, Biggie instructed both Joanna and Kulture to pack up their belongings within ten seconds, marking a dramatic end to their journey in the house.

Earlier in the weekend, in a rare twist, Thelma Lawson and Bright “Morgan” Mbata were unexpectedly evicted during a surprise Saturday night show—immediately following the house party. The shock double eviction caught both housemates and fans off guard, as evictions typically occur only during the Sunday live show.

Ebuka made a surprise in-person visit to the house to deliver the Saturday news, adding to the tension. “More evictions are coming tomorrow. A lot can be lost in two weeks,” he warned.

With just weeks remaining, the competition is intensifying, and housemates now face mounting pressure as the race for the N120 million grand prize nears its final stretch.

Tacha explained that she was confident she was going to win because she stood for eviction eleven times and bounced back each time.


Speaking in a podcast, Tacha stated that she’s the most-nominated housemate in the history of the reality show and, as such, she was confident she was going to win.


“I knew I was going to win. The fact that the other housemates were always putting me up for eviction… In the history of Big Brother Naija, no housemate has stood for eviction as much as I have stood up for. I was up for eleven possible evictions.”


“But the fact that I kept bouncing back, I knew I had massive supporters outside,” she said.


Recalls that Tacha was disqualified from Big Brother Naija Season 4 over violent conduct.
Her main rival, Mercy Eke, went on to win the show.
