Noble Igwe Remains Unshaken As He Says He Doesn’t Owe Ahneeka An Apology For His Remarks
Former Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Ahneeka, was criticised by popular blogger, Noble Igwe, for not taking proper care of her hygiene.
Noble had tweeted, “I wanted to tell Ahneeka to wash her face more, cut down on soda and stop pressing the things on her face but her supporters would not hear it…Ahneeka goes to bed with the same outfit; so, no one can make her have her bath twice in a day.”
Ahneeka had also replied him saying she was very disappointed with his remarks and wondered how he would feel if such was said about his wife and daughter.
However, In a recent interview with the Punch’s Sunday Scoop, Noble maintained his stand. He said,
"I have said a lot of good things about her in the past. There was a time I said she speaks good English. Why didn’t anybody raise eyebrows at that? I like it when things are balanced; they make a lot more sense that way. Dotun of Cool FM also tweeted about Big Brother housemates.
"The truth is that everybody has an opinion about the housemates. It could be about their hygiene; the way they dress or any other thing. I don’t think anybody has an issue with people commenting on the show. These guys are on national TV and we watch them all day; so, there’s nothing wrong about passing comments about whatever happened in the house.
"Whatever I said about BBN was strictly about what I saw the housemates do. On a particular day, there was a close-up shot of her underarm and the viewers saw that it was not well-shaven; I tweeted about it. On another day, the cameras showed this particular housemate peeling her face and I tweeted that it would be nice for this housemate to wash her face often and stop peeling it. I speak about everything in the house so far it is caught on camera."
Responding to people who felt he should have reached out to Ahneeka privately, Igwe said, "How was I supposed to send her a direct message when we are not friends and I don’t even know her? I’m allowed to have an opinion, and that’s simply what I shared."
Ruling out any form of apology, the blogger said, “You are supposed to apologize when you feel that you have done something wrong. You apologize when you feel it was a personal attack. You cannot apologize for stating the fact that everybody can see. Criticising a person doesn’t mean that I don’t like him or her.”
Debunking the reports that he is paid to stir up controversies about Big Brother Naija on social media, Igwe retorted, “Apart from being a social media influencer, I am also a human being that has an opinion. When I got married, people had opinions and there was nothing I could about it. Big Brother is a social experiment and all the viewers have different opinions about it and they may share those opinions any way they feel. Over the years, I have supported different housemates and I have also gotten lots of insults for that.”
