In a candid late-night conversation, Dede, a housemate in the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 10, has shared her personal views on relationships and her core beliefs, giving viewers a deeper look into her personality. The conversation, which took place in the garden, saw the usually reserved housemate peel back the layers and address her seemingly cautious attitude towards forming romantic connections.
During a chat with fellow housemate, Ken, Dede confessed that she is not one to jump into a “ship” (a romantic relationship) lightly, especially under the pressure of the Big Brother house. “I think I have a lot of walls up,” she admitted. “It’s not because I don’t want a connection, but because I’ve always been someone who values realness. I don’t want a showmance; I want something that feels genuine, even if it’s just a friendship.”

She explained that past experiences have made her more guarded, but she remains open to finding someone who can appreciate her for who she is. Her cautious approach stands in contrast to some of the other housemates who have already begun to form romantic bonds.
Beyond relationships, Dede also spoke about the personal beliefs that guide her actions. She emphasized her commitment to authenticity and self-reliance. “My biggest belief is that you have to be true to yourself,” she told Ken. “This house can be a lot, and it’s easy to get lost trying to fit in, but I promised myself I would stay true to who Dede is. I’m a hard worker, I’m independent, and I believe in earning my own stripes.”
