In a deep conversation among BBNaija Season 8 All-Stars Edition housemates, Cross engaged with fellow housemates Doyin and Neo regarding the alleged “playing the victim” strategy employed by Ilebaye in the house.
Cross pointed out that Ilebaye seemed to have manipulated many in the house by consistently portraying herself as a victim and using her resources to her advantage. He also expressed surprise at her ability to deceive them, given her educational background.
He mentioned, “I’m 33, and Ilebaye is 22. How did she manipulate all of us? And do you know what she studied in school? Psychology and human security.”
Cross’s remarks prompted various reactions from viewers, with some defending Ilebaye’s strategy as a valid part of the game and others suggesting that the housemates should be more strategic in their own gameplay.
Here are some of the comments from viewers:
