Big Brother Naija ‘All-Stars’ housemate, Neo Akpofure, has explained the reason he nominated his colleague, Tolanibaj, for immunity despite his cousin, Venita Akpofure, being in the Biggie’s house.

Naija News reports that Biggie on Monday night announced a new nomination process called ‘Pardon Me Please’ and Neo nominated Tolanibaj for immunity from this week’s eviction.

Tolanibaj also nominated Neo in the ‘Pardon Me Please’.

This came as a surprise to many viewers of the show, especially as Venita had always defended Neo during loggerheads with other female housemates.

Venita also attacked and spoke ill of Ilebaya when she attempted to get intimate with Neo during the first week of the show.

Speaking during his diary session on Tuesday, Neo said Tolaniibaj is loyal to him and they have each other’s back.

According to him, loyalty is something he cherishes so much and has in common with Tolanibaj.

Neo said: “I nominated Tolanibaj for immunity despite my cousin, Venita, being here, because she is the only one I know will have my back as much as I have her back.

“Loyalty is something that I’m big on and that is something that me and Tolanibaj very much have in common.”
