The emotional rollercoaster in Big Brother Naija Season 10 continued on Thursday as housemate Mensan became the latest contestant to shed tears during his diary session with Biggie.
Mensan, overwhelmed by emotion, opened up about the pressures of being the backbone of his family, and his yearning for a father figure, which struck a chord with many viewers.
“I have always wanted a father figure in my life. I’m not just here for myself. I want to get to a point where I can carry my family the way they expect me to,” he said tearfully.
In response, Biggie offered words of encouragement, telling him:
“Wipe your tears because diamonds are unbreakable.”
Mensan also shared his struggle with connecting to some of the male housemates, especially when trying to express himself in English, saying the interactions often felt like “just vibes.”
