Drama continues to unfold in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, as housemate Kola has been handed a tough punishment for breaking one of the show’s golden rules — confidentiality.

On Monday, Head of House Jason Jae announced Big Brother’s verdict: Kola is barred from speaking until further notice. Instead, he will only be allowed to communicate using a writing pad provided by Big Brother.

The disciplinary measure came after Kola revealed details of a confidential red telephone conversation, despite being warned not to share its content with fellow housemates.

The private call involved Agent X offering Kola a luxury manicure and pedicure session at the cost of ₦1 million, which would have been deducted from the grand prize. Kola, however, declined the offer but went ahead to discuss the details with others in the house.

Big Brother stated:

“Kola, you discussed part of your conversation on the red telephone despite being warned that you weren’t to discuss it with any of your fellow housemates during the course of your stay in Big Brother’s house.

As punishment, you’re forbidden from speaking till further notice. For the duration of this punishment, you’re only to communicate by writing on the writing pad that Big Brother has provided, except when speaking to Big Brother.

Each time you’re involved in a conversation, you have to write on the writing pad, and the housemate you’re addressing must read your words aloud before responding.”

The twist has sparked excitement among viewers, with many taking to social media to debate whether the punishment is too harsh or simply a reminder that in Biggie’s house, rules are rules.
