BBNaija Season 10: Mensan Gets Emotional During Diary Session, Shares Heartfelt Family Struggles

Big Brother Naija Season 10 continues to deliver emotionally charged moments, with housemate Mensan being the latest to open up in a raw and tearful diary session with Biggie on Thursday.

Mensan, visibly overwhelmed, broke down as he spoke about the weight of responsibility he feels to support his family, especially in the absence of a father figure.

“I have always wanted a father figure in my life. I’m not just here for myself. I just want to get to a point where I can carry the family like they want me to,” Mensan said, struggling to hold back tears.

In response, Biggie offered words of encouragement, telling him, “Wipe your tears because diamonds are unbreakable.”

The vulnerable moment struck a chord with some viewers, while others on social media expressed mixed reactions. Some believed his emotions were genuine, while others accused him of using tears as a strategy to win sympathy.

“Mensan should stop acting on a pity story because BBNaija viewers don wise up this time,” one user tweeted.

Another commented, “This crying is literally getting out of hand.”

 

Still, many empathized with Mensan’s story, noting the emotional and mental toll that family expectations can place on young adults, especially in a competitive environment like Big Brother’s house.

He also shared his struggle with fitting in, saying he feels awkward when trying to speak English around some male housemates, describing the interactions as “just vibes.”

As the season progresses, Mensan’s emotional moment has become one of the most talked-about scenes yet, sparking important conversations about masculinity, vulnerability, and the pressure many young Nigerians face in trying to uplift their families.

Whether strategic or sincere, Mensan’s tearful confession has added another layer of depth to this season’s drama.
