Bbnaija: The Injustice Of Tacha's Ouster by NaijaTushboy(m): 11:38am On Sep 28, 2019 |
Let me confess that I don’t like
watching BBN. There has never
been a time, except on eviction
nights and the finale, that I will
wilfully settle down to watch the
programme. However my female
friends usually won’t let me rest
with their fascination for the
programme. Sometimes I just
play along.
Last night, I got four different
messages indicating Tacha was
disqualified. “Ki lo kan mi”, I
muttered but I still pretended I
follow the programme. To tell
you how wretched my
viewership is, the only names I
vividly know are Seyi, Khafi and
Tacha. I struggled to remember
Gedoni.
Since the internet was awash
with Tacha’s disqualification, I
scoured the web for news, gists
and videos. What I discovered
was overwhelming hatred or to
put it mildly, distaste, for Tacha’s
attitudes leading up to her
ouster. It was celebration galore.
I’m sure some people drank to it.
Maybe some ladies excitedly
decided to kiss their boyfriends
for the first time too. Not that she
doesn’t have her own supporters
but they pale in comparison with
her detractors.
So I tried to catch up on some of
her previous enfant terrible
moments. She is a sicko. Ceecee
was saucy but Tacha is toxic. I
learned her reputation wasn’t
helped by the dirt people dug
from her background. I won’t go
deep. Let’s just agree she’s bad.
As bad as she is and having
watched the blow by blow
moments culminating in her
disqualification, I believe she was
singled out for that
disqualification. Call me a Devil’s
Advocate, I’m cool.
It takes two to tango. She was
having a shouting match with
Mercy, a fans’ favourite. They
were goading, yelling, insulting
and swearing. Unprintable
words were freely used. Check?
House rules appear to allow
yelling and insulting but they
certainly prohibit violence which
is defined as “behaviour
involving physical force intended
to hurt, damage or kill someone
or something”. The opposite of
violence is gentleness.
Stop being a Tacha hater for a
moment and take a
dispassionate look at the two
moments that Tacha pulled
Mercy’s hair. Don’t just look at
Tacha. Look at Mercy too. On the
two occasions, she did 360
degree turns attempting to hurt
Tacha on the face with her
flailing braids. What if those
braids slashed across Tacha’s
face? In law, to constitute
violence, attempt is enough. Do
you know “assault” does not
constitute actual physical
contact? It is enough if you made
a move causing the other person
to reasonably have the
apprehension or expectation of a
blow or contact. The common
one is attempting to slap
someone and you withdraw your
slap at the last moment (we call it
“shak”) or the other person
dodged your slap. You can be
prosecuted for that and jailed. In
law, actual touching in a violent
manner is what is called
“battery” or “assault occasioning
harm” (if there are traumas in
the victim’s body).
Mercy also used violence by
attempting to hurt Tacha with
her braids having been seen to
deliberately spurn 360 degrees
twice towards Tacha. What could
be more provocative than that?
Meanwhile “provocation” is listed
as one of the actions that could
lead to automatic disqualification
in the house rules. What could be
more provocative than Mercy’s
smart attempt to make Tacha
throw caution to the winds?
Provocation is, on the flip side of
the coin, a defence to a criminal
action where violence is involved.
I don’t want to go to the body-
shaming tirade concerning
Tacha’s body odour. Most people
will lose their cool if taunted as a
stinker. Let’s focus on the Mercy’s
violence taken side by side with
Tacha’s violence. Ain’t they both
guilty?
Is it reasonable to pull the hair of
someone who attempted to slash
your face with her braids during
a hot argument? Don’t you think
Mercy too deserves to be
disqualified? Be the judge.
Tankio.
LESSON: Always let a good
reputation precede you. You’ll
enjoy benefits of doubts. |

I don't watch bb shows, but I read about it everywhere, especially on nairaland. I may not be able to comment on the fight because I didn't watch it, but from what I've read so far, telling someone she stinks, openly, during an argument and on a national TV will trigger some anger buttons and I feel bad for the Tacha gurl! Mercy needs to apologise to that girl from the depth of her heart...not going to be easy for her to get over that shame! |
