An insider, identified as Manuelll, recently disclosed the reason behind the absence of Tacha and Erica Nlewedim in the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house. According to his tweet, both contestants couldn't participate in the All-Stars edition because they were disqualified during their first stints in the BBNaija house. He asserted that there was no possibility of inviting them back due to their prior disqualifications.
In the BBNaija All-Stars Edition that aired on Sunday, July 23, 2023, former housemates got a second chance to compete for the coveted grand prize of N120M. However, not everyone seemed thrilled about the lineup of contestants. Ex-housemates Vee Iye and Leo Dasilva expressed their discontent as they spotted some of their colleagues participating in the All Stars edition.
Vee Iye took to a micro-blogging platform to express her disgust upon seeing fellow season 5 housemates, Kiddwaya and Neo Akpofure, on the show. She shared a meme featuring the veteran Nollywood actress, Mama Gee, with a caption that conveyed her feelings of "uncontrollable disgust."
Leo Dasilva, on the other hand, expressed his anger upon noticing the presence of Cee-c and Princess from the Season Three edition of the reality show, in which he and Cee-c were participants years ago.
The BBNaija All-Stars Edition provided an exciting opportunity for former housemates to vie for the top prize once again, as they relived their experiences in the iconic Big Brother Naija house.
