Big Brother Naija: Kemen Finally Speaks, Pens Heartfelt Apology To TBoss And All Women.

Former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Kemen, has tendered a heartfelt apology over his indecent act which led to his disqualification from the reality game show. In a long letter written through the Official Sponsors of the show, Payporte, Kemen acknowledged that what he did was wrong and therefore asked for TBoss’ forgiveness as well as that of other women. Payporte shared a picture of the Kemen with the letter which reads:

“My name is Ekemini Ekerette, popularly known as Kemen (@ Kemen_Fitness) one of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Housemate. I am a Fitness Trainer and a Model before joining the Big Brother house.

“I hereby tender my sincere apologies to TBoss and ask for her forgiveness as well as all the women in Africa that I hurt from the circumstances surrounding my disqualification from the Big Brother Naija house recently.

“I knew that everybody was playing the game in the house at the same time competing for the prize. I realized that I overplayed my game which brought about my disqualification.”

 “As you all know, I have my fitness outfit, where I train a lot of people both men and women. There has been no case or report of such acts from me. I regret the turn of play while trying to play and compete for the prize. I apologize to Tboss’ family, her fans and friends for hurting their perception. I also use this medium to apologize to all women being the International Women’s Day, and the entire crew of Big Brother Nigeria, including my fans and family. I acknowledge the eternal truth embedded in the age long postulation that the price of greatness is responsibility. I hereby accept the responsibility arising from the public perception of my latest actions in the big brother house. Consequently, I apologise to all who may have been offended by the interpretation of my actions and/or inactions throughout my stay in the house. May I use this opportunity to apologise to Tboss in the light of the current issues arising from that night’s scene. I’m truly sorry and never thought it could end this way. To my family, friends and all who have expressed displeasure over my conduct which led to my disqualification, I pray that you find space in your heart to forgive me and give me another chance. To Big Brother and the Organisers, I remain ever grateful for the opportunity granted me on such a huge stage. Finally, as I call to mind the fact that in life reality and perception have a fine line of difference, I can assure that given another chance I will consciously create a reality that leaves no one in doubt of my inner strength and positive values which will ultimately earn me a positive perception. I trust that the God of a second chance will avail me with opportunities to right this wrong.

Ekerette Ekemini.”

Big Brother Lacks Moral Obligation To Disqualify Kemen Over The Same Immorality The Show Portrays

Fans and viewers of the ongoing Big Brother reality show are torn between blaming Kemen for his unspeakable act, accusing TBoss of escalating the issue and blaming Big Brother for taking such a harsh decision to disqualify Kemen.

A lot has been said already about Big brother’s decision over the Kemen/Tboss sexual harassment issue. While some viewers agree that Kemen was wrong to have groped on TBoss while she was asleep, others accuse TBoss of not sleeping but quietly enjoying the act only to worsen the accusation when Big Brother asked her about it. According to several comments on social media, most people think the Big Brother show itself is immoral enough and has led the young man to his embarrassing exit, therefore Big Brother had no moral obligation to disqualify Kemen on the grounds of unconsented sexual harassment.

To that effect, Kemen has been advised to sue Big Brother, who by this disqualification has ruined the reputation and career of the fitness trainer, his family and the whole of Akwa Ibom State.

According to PressPlay, the Big Brother show is full of several acts of immorality and sexual activities that have been perpetrated by contestants and condoned by the organizers since its inception. Therefore, expecting morality from an immoral show was a fallacy. In a bid to defend Kemen’s action, the case of Debby Rise kissing Bassey while he was asleep is also making rounds as some people think a judgment should have been passed to her also. The saddest part is that Kemen would henceforth be stigmatized and become victimized as a sex offender which would damage his relationship and business and some Nigerians are urging him to sue for defamation of character. This is what Nigerian singer Tunde Ednut has to say about Kemen’s disqualification: “Bullshit! That girl didn’t shout or complain after she woke up and saw him. Cut me that slack Big Brother. People have done all different kind of things in that house. All of them should be disqualified plus BIG BROTHER himself. This whole game looks staged to me. The only problem now is that Kemen will have a bad name for a long time.”
