One of Big Brother Naija 2019 housemates, Thelma, has come under attack over her accent in the reality show.

Thelma, among other housemates, brought into the house a different ‘American accent’.

However, Thelma’s case seems to be the worst as hers seems not to be genuine, which has generated reactions from Nigerians online.

Recall that some Nigerians described choice of housemates in the ongoing fourth season of the Big Brother Naija reality show as “more foreign than Nigerian.”

Respondents said that it was puzzling how Manchester-based Mike, London police officer, Khafi and Ike, who said this was his first one in Lagos, made the cut, while thousands of Nigerians flooded audition centres in February.

Viewers felt it was unfair to have people risk their lives to the audition and then pick Nigerians in the diaspora.

Here are comments of Nigerians gathered by Thickmatch.com from Twitter:
