Victory, the current Head of House known for his confidence and strategic gameplay, clashed with Thelma, a housemate celebrated for her outspoken nature and strong opinions.
The argument began when Thelma told Victory to “stop sharing food,” prompting him to call her “very stupid.” Thelma retaliated by accusing him of “throwing condoms” on her bed, a claim Victory dismissed as petty. He escalated the exchange further by alluding to her personal life, suggesting she had “collected someone’s boyfriend.”
The tense back-and-forth, shared on Instagram by @lifeafterbbnaijia, included Thelma calling Victory “a fool” and criticising his performance during a recent wager task, claiming he was “confused” and “unprepared” until he got on stage.
Victory countered by asking, “So as Head of House, won’t I rest?” — to which Thelma responded with a sarcastic “Head of House!”
While tensions between the two have been brewing for weeks, this latest altercation has sharply divided the show’s fan base.
On X (formerly Twitter), some viewers condemned Victory’s comments as offensive and misogynistic.
“Victory insulting Thelma by linking her motherhood to ‘lack of self-control’ is not just petty, it’s peak misogyny,” wrote @AssistantEbukaa.
@Realityhottakes added, “I’ve not seen this level of misogyny on BBNaija; the only ex-housemate that comes close is Seyi. Victory, this is alarming.”
Others sided with Thelma, arguing she had legitimate grievances. “Y’all may not like Thelma, but she wasn’t wrong tonight. Victory should learn how to speak to people,” said @brownnnngal.
However, Victory also drew strong support from fans who praised his boldness and entertainment value.
“Victory is the content I signed up for this season. Go Boy!” tweeted @bossgirlhair.
“Victory dey give us premium content o. Not all those boring people in the house,” wrote @cyntik08.
Some viewers also criticised Thelma for her combative approach, with @official_aondokator remarking, “Thelma, the shout was uncalled for abeg.”
The spat reflects deeper strategic and personal tensions in the house, with Thelma often clashing with Victory over his perceived arrogance, while Victory has embraced a polarising role as Head of House, frequently at the centre of disputes.
With hashtags like #BBNaija10 trending intermittently, the debate over this clash shows no signs of fading — a reminder of how quickly personal conflicts can dominate both the house and the social media conversation during Big Brother Naija’s most competitive moments.
