Evicted Big Brother Naija Season 8 All Star, Alex Asogwa, known as Alex Unusual has shared her experiences in the All Stars house.
Some hours ago, Alex shares in this interview with CECILIA WILLIAMS and FRIDAOS ODEYALE, details of her experiences in the house, her bond with other housemates and her unwavering commitment to being true to herself.
What happened between you and Pere, and why do you think your relationship deteriorated so fast?
I think it was generally because of a clash of personalities. We have different personalities, and we were just running on different wavelengths
Do you think Big Brother’s decision was the right one regarding your altercation with Pere?
I wasn’t expecting a better judgment because when the clip was playing, the conversation started in the middle and they had put music over what was going on, so I wasn’t really expecting him to get punished at all.
I thought I was going to be the only one getting punished because of the way they played it.
Just before you left, you made a statement that some people are currently in the house because you stood.
What did you mean by that?
The people that I spoke about, when they come out they will know themselves. still maintain that some people were sitting in the house because I stood.
I already knew what was going on, but the only thing was that I noticed it late, how much of a competition I was to other housemates.
I knew that they were going to want to take me out. Alex knew a lot of things were going on, just knew I was going home. The people I was talking about know themselves, it had nothing to do with Cross.
went into the house hoping that all of us would live in peace and love, I had no idea that the moment I walked in I was in the competition.
Considering the way things turned out, are there things that you wish that you had done differently?
I’m not upset about it; I just have a very strong personality. I know that I don’t need alliances to do well. I didn’t need it outside here the first time, I don’t need it now, and I still will not need it.
I made my mistakes; I should have trusted my instincts more. The thing is, when I went into the house, there was a lot of advice that there’s a way you play the game now.
You need to pay the influencers to talk positive about you and talk negative about other people. I was supposed to pay for media narratives, but I’m not that kind of person.
I don’t believe in paying for somebody else’s downfall, thought it was All Stars, everybody just needed to come with their characters.
There was no need to bring anybody down. I don’t want to say that I regret not paying because even if I had paid anybody at any point, I wouldn’t pay to bring anybody down.
But then, in the house I should have trusted my instincts more because a lot of times when it hit me that I was on my own, I always tried to push it away.
I was sure that there were people that were for me in the house. But one thing I know is when I look around, I always say there’s not a person in this house that would put Alex first.
The only time I had that was for two weeks and that was when Prince came into the house. Before he came and after he left. I was alone. I should have tried more to protect my peace.
One thing I know is that people told me that I went from love and light to being angry that it doesn’t make any sense.
Everyone saw outside of here how people sat down to discuss how to bring Alex down, so anyhow I reacted was very valid. I had a very strong spirit that was telling me things that I wasn’t even supposed to know.
How would I have known that people were conspiring against me? I had no idea but I just felt it in my soul and in my spirit. I should have trusted my instincts.
The only time that I trusted my instincts was when I was going home. I said it a week before that once I’m up I’m going home.
The moment I gave Cross all my coins and he bought immunity; I knew I was going home.
There’s a certain narrative about Ilebaye that she was bullied. A lot of people feel like you helped to build that narrative.
I don’t know because I wasn’t watching the show. I don’t know how they saw it. All I know from this is that I saw somebody that I cared about, and I felt the need to be there for her on days when she was down.
I don’t know how it was perceived outside of here. I’ve not even sat down to watch a lot of things. I said inside the house that I don’t want to hear things outside the house, don’t want anybody to tell me anything.
I don’t know how that narrative came about, just really liked Baye and I felt the need to be there for her the same as I would for any other friend that I loved in the house, and I was there for a lot of people.
