    “I regret that action and I’m sorry about this. I’m sorry about saying such comments, they are indeed very misogynistic.

    “That is a very dark and unfair thing to say about anybody’s child. I’m really sorry about that big brother.

    “I’m just regretting that I said those things. Not to mention that I am married to a beautiful woman, my mother and the women who have been there for me.

    “I know I have a darkness inside, and I tried my best to tame it inside”

    The newly introduced housemate, Kim Oprah, has advised her colleague, Seyi, to stop focusing on the perceived disrespectful behavior of fellow housemates.

    She said that as long as they were in the Big brother house, everyone was equal saying that expecting overreaching regard was out of place.

    She suggested to Seyi that he should instead focus his energy on gunning for the N120 million grand prize or build his brand if the former wasn’t plausible.

    Ophra also told him to remember he has a family waiting for him on the side while at it.

    The media personality urged her former “Pepper Dem” housemate against attempting to impress his opinion of others on her, adding that she would like to judge them herself after having experienced them personally and not through eyes.

    She said: “I don’t like the fact that you keep saying that people don’t have respect, that they don’t respect you”, she stated.

    “This is not what you’re here for and remember these are different people from different seasons and big brother put everyone in one house, so we are all equal now.

    “Try to avoid certain conversation Because is not something to talk about, let that not be an issue for you.

    “You’re a family man now so, think before you act or talk to people. Rmember you have a family waiting for you outside this show.

    “If people don’t have respect, let that be their problem, don’t tell them what to do and how to behave. 

    “Remember everyone is here for the same reason which is the 120million. And it’s only one person that will win the money at the end of the show.

    “I don’t like the fact that people keep telling me, ‘Ooh this person doesn’t have respect, this person is this and that. I want to figure things out myself. Let me be the one to judge them and not because of what I have been told. Let me see them for who they are.

    In his reaction, Sayi simply said: “Yes I understand.”
