Former Big Brother Naija housemate Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has weighed in on the recent disqualification of Faith Adewale from the ongoing season 10 edition of the reality TV show, saying the decision was “justified and in line with the rules.”
New Daily Prime earlier reported that Faith was disqualified from the competition following a physical altercation with fellow housemate Sultana during a group task rehearsal.
The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, showed Faith engaging in a heated exchange that escalated into a scuffle, resulting in Sultana sustaining a minor injury.

Speaking in an interview on TVC News, Tacha said she supported Big Brother’s decision, stressing that contestants are expected to maintain composure and adhere strictly to the rule book regardless of provocation.
“There’s nothing disappointing about Faith’s disqualification,” she said. “I saw the clip of his altercation with Sultana. As much as he is always demanding respect, he should also know that respect is reciprocal.”
She further condemned Faith’s conduct during the task, describing the incident as unnecessary and avoidable.
“Whatever the task was, I don’t think it was that deep for them to drag the bucket to the point of injuring Sultana,” she added. “When you go into the house, there’s a rule book. You know you can’t at any point be physical with another housemate. And if you do, the judgment is in Big Brother’s hand.”
Tacha, who herself was disqualified from the 2019 ‘Pepper Dem’ edition of the show following a physical altercation with fellow contestant Mercy Eke, said her personal experience had taught her the importance of emotional control and respect for the show’s regulations.

“Sometimes, in that house, emotions run high, and you might feel the need to defend yourself or prove a point,” she explained. “But at the end of the day, you have to remember that millions of people are watching, and the rules are clear, physical contact is never acceptable.”
She added that while she could relate to the pressures and tensions that come with the competition, contestants must learn to channel their energy into productive behavior.
“Big Brother is not just a game; it’s a test of discipline, endurance, and character,” she said. “You can be passionate and assertive without crossing the line.”
Faith’s disqualification marks the first major disciplinary action of the ongoing season 10, serving as a reminder to other contestants about the consequences of physical confrontation.
