Pere Egbi, a prominent finalist from Big Brother Naija All Stars, recently revealed in an interview that he would choose to have a conversation with the devil over sitting down with his fellow housemate, Alex Asogwa.
The animosity between Pere and Alex started brewing during their time in the Big Brother house, where they frequently clashed, almost reaching a physical altercation. Pere disclosed that the issues began when Alex initiated a campaign against him within the house, suggesting he wasn’t a good friend. He hoped she would approach him to discuss the matter, but she didn’t, leaving him feeling isolated.
“She started this campaign against me in the house, talking about I’m not a good friend, and all that. I had gotten wind of it, ignored it, expecting that the person who is supposed to be my friend would come and tell me and ask me questions like, ‘What’s up, this is what’s going on?’ but she didn’t… and I became alone,” Pere explained.
He further elaborated that Alex continuously provoked him, leading to a mattress-flipping confrontation. Pere recounted reporting the incident to Big Brother and requesting intervention. He also criticized Alex, who identifies as an anti-bullying activist, for engaging in aggressive behavior, even physically hitting another housemate, Ike, in the pool, which he believed should have led to her disqualification.
Pere expressed strong sentiments, labeling Alex as a person with violent tendencies and stated, “If Jesus came and said sit down… I’d rather sit down with the devil before I sit down with Alex.”
