Ozo, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has revealed why he ignored his love interest, Nengi during the final Saturday night party in the house.

The reality star, during his media rounds said all housemates were instructed not to go close or gesticulate to the finalist.

This, he said, was to avoid hinting who would emerge winner of the grand prize to the five finalists.

Recall that having a boyfriend outside the house had stopped Nengi from dating Ozo.

Recall that Nengi had on Saturday said her friendship with Ozo was over because he ignored her at the night party.

Reacting, Ozo said, ”I didn’t mean to ignore her. It was a directive, for all of us that came out, we were all instructed not to get close to the housemates.

”We were instructed not to gesticulate at the party, so I was playing by the rules.

”I felt bad seeing her cry so I could not wait for the next day so I would tell her it was the directive and I was playing by the rules.”

He added that Nengi is a lovable, smart and loyal person.

According to him, ”We will always be loyal, close to each other and always have each others back.”
