Ebuka asked the pair, “Are you going to continue living together?”
Damilola swiftly responded; “Yeah.”
However, Toyosi’s response took a different turn, “I love you so much but I feel like there has been a lot of tension. She has been blaming herself too much and I want her to think without me being there.”
Dami replied; “Would that be why?”
Toyosi; “Yes, you are blaming yourself too much, when you see me, you keep blaming yourself and I, on the other hand, would like to think too. I don’t think I would be able to be in the same space with someone who is blaming herself, it makes me very sad.”
Ebuka then asked Damilola for her thoughts on Toyosi’s decision, she said “I’m too stunned to speak.”
Ebuka, sensing tension from the pair, encouraged them to embrace dialogue and talk their feelings out.
He said, “Final note, what’s next? Maybe you guys have not had this conversation yet, there’s a lot of emotions bottled up. You haven’t expressed how you feel so hearing that now, I think what needs to happen is both of you sitting down.”
Immediately, Toyosi was overwhelmed with emotions as she started shedding tears and Damilola also began to cry as well.
Ebuka concluded, “If you’ve been friends for 7 years, I think you should know how to communicate with each other.
“Sit down and say how you feel. I don’t think a week in Big Brother’s house should damage friendship. You’re obviously hurt for different reasons.”
