Big Brother Titans premiered Sunday, January 15, 2022. The show’s promise of South Africans and Nigerians living together in Big Brother’s mansion looks to be falling short.
South Africans have been xenophobic for years. Tiwa Savage and Burna Boy, too. Despite arriving to South Africa after falsely claiming it is dangerous for Nigerians.
For Big Brother Titans watchers, South Africans may not be as xenophobic as Nigerians
Viewers of BB Titans have picked up that the female Nigerian housemates, specifically Jenni O, Olivia, Yvonne and Jaypee have formed their own clique in the Big Brother House. A fact which on the surface makes sense considering that they share the same nationality.
However, it slowly became clear that their clique was formed in an effort to separate themselves from the South African housemates. Especially following their subtle offensive comments. More so when Yvonne referred to the South African female “housemates” as things.
If we try'na overcome that xenophobic thing we don't need those 4 girls in the house. #BBTitians

I feel if Jenny O leaves, there’ll be more tolerance from the other girls. I can’t help feeling she’s a tad bit xenophobic #BBTitians

Yvonne: I’m not one with you people (referring to South Africans)
I think the real Xenophobic nation is showing themselves

To me this #BBTitians is a political and diplomatic move to unite both countries because of the xenophobic history between them. Even in the show, they find it difficult to co-exist I pray this method works to strengthen the diplomatic ties between both countries.🇿🇦🇳🇬
