Zinwe Reveal How BBNaija positively impacted their relationship
The recently evicted Big Brother Naija duo, Zion Ogiefa and Chinwe Elibe, known collectively as Zinwe, have shared that their time on the reality show positively impacted their relationship.
During a virtual interview on Thursday, the pair discussed how the experience helped them navigate challenges and ultimately strengthen their bond.
Zinwe, who were evicted during Sunday’s live show, admitted to experiencing several misunderstandings on the show, which even led to a brief breakup.
However, they both acknowledged that the challenges they encountered have ultimately made their relationship stronger.
“Going into the show has impacted positively on our relationship. Now, we know how to handle situations better,” said Chinwe.
“If we hadn’t been on the show, we would have our real-life issues and might have handled them differently, probably even breaking up earlier. Biggie’s house gave us the chance to confront these situations, and having gone through that together, we’ve come out stronger.”
Zion echoed her sentiments, adding that the show was a valuable learning experience.
“The Big Brother Naija show was definitely a learning experience for us. We’ve learned patience and resilience. I had good relationships with most of the housemates, so it was a fun and enriching experience. I got to engage with people from different backgrounds and cultures,” he said.
Despite the rocky days they faced during the competition, the Zinwe pair reassured their fans that their relationship remains intact.
Zion emphasized that their relationship did not start because of the show, and it won’t end because of it either.
“Big Brother Naija has come and gone, but our relationship is still standing strong,” Zion stated.
“We knew going into the show, with our relationship just five months old, that it would come with lots of criticism and scrutiny, and we were prepared for that. We also understand that rocky days are normal in any relationship; they are part of the learning process.”
