Hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the episode one wasted no time diving into unfinished business. Housemates immediately revisited old conflicts, questioned each other’s motives, and finally addressed the relationships that didn’t quite survive the real world.

Thelma’s emotional breakdown and the “Big Soso” spat

One of the standout moments of the night was Thelma’s emotional breakdown, sparked by the infamous Kayikunmi and Isabella incident.

The “Port Harcourt babe with a child” reference became a massive talking point. Thelma maintained that while Isabella was hurt that she hid knowing Kayikunmi before the show, she didn’t owe Isabella the loyalty of a pre-house explanation.

As Ebuka tried to get both women to see each other’s perspectives, the emotions became too much. Thelma broke down, officially opening the reunion season with its first tears.

The drama escalated further during a heated spat with Big Soso, who took it upon herself to announce that she “had enough money” to buy off Isabella’s wahala.

While it looks like a permanent goodbye to any reconciliation between Big Soso and Thelma, ironically, Isabella, the person actually at the centre of the initial dispute, seemed perfectly cool with Thelma.

Kola calls Doris a “non-factor” and “alhaji’s meal”

During the 10/10 season, many viewers wondered if they had missed the moment Kola suggested something romantic to Doris, and Ebuka asked the same question.

While Kola dismissed the entire situation as a “non-factor,” he seemed genuinely aggrieved that Doris had “maligned” his character despite him never hinting at romance.

Doris, on the other hand, stood her ground, insinuating that Kola’s tone toward her was inherently romantic and that her feelings were valid.

Things took a toxic turn when Kola fired back, branding Doris as “alhaji’s meal” and claiming the house felt lighter the moment she was evicted. While fans might still be divided on who was right, one thing is certain: these two did not leave the couch on good terms.

Zita and Danboskid: “Lagos happened”

For fans wondering what exactly went wrong between Zita and Danboskid, the answer was simple: Lagos happened.

The duo, who notably harbour no bad blood towards each other, calmly explained why their relationship fizzled out. It ultimately boiled down to a mutual lack of effort.

Danboskid never officially took Zita out on a date, and Zita couldn’t be bothered. By the end of the segment, the verdict was clear: that chapter is officially closed.

Mide confronts Zita over “colourist” accusations

Although both parties claimed they had previously cleared the air, Mide used the reunion stage to firmly address allegations of colourism. She insisted she is not a colourist and argued that Zita’s earlier insinuations on the main show were wrong and a mere projection.

Zita countered, stating she picked up a “condescending vibe” not just from Mide, but from Sabrina and Thelma as well. While you can’t dictate how someone feels, Mide looked satisfied just to have gotten her defence on the record.

If the premiere episode proved anything, it’s that time does not heal all wounds, and some housemates are nowhere near moving on. With more personalities yet to take the hot seat and several unresolved feuds still brewing, viewers can expect even more drama, shocking revelations and uncomfortable confrontations as the week progresses

The BBNaija season 10 reunion airs weekdays at 10:00 pm on Africa Magic Showcase and 10:30 pm on Africa Magic Family on DStv and GOtv. Episodes are also available on DStv Stream.
