#BBNaija: Why my journey in Big Brother’s house was shortened – Erica

Disqualified Big Brother Naija lockdown housemate, Erica has said that her sad times took precedence, leading to the abrupt end of her journey in the reality show.

In a statement she shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the reality TV star recounted her journey in the lockdown house.

Erica was thrown out of the lockdown house after she flouted major rules of the house. She had even threatened to kill fellow housemate Laycon outside the reality TV show.

Erica was also found guilty of  water on the Head of House bed to prevent her Deputy, Prince from having access.

Having been issued two strikes earlier it was obvious that the Abia-born housemate’s stay in the house would end abruptly.

In her statement shared on Instagram, she thanked her fans for the overwhelming support for her.

She said, “July 19th was the beginning of the rest of my life when I made the decision to be on the Bigbrother show.

"Excited as I was, I couldn’t fathom what the future held. I stepped into the house as an open book, believing in my strengths and weaknesses which I bore for the world to see.

"I was confident that these will enable me navigate through life in the house. Nothing, however, prepares you for the events of life except the experiences and the onus was on me to learn and live.

"My experiences were at equilibrium as I made the best of friends, honed existing skills, discovered new ones, lived in the moment and partied away. However, my sad times took precedence and my journey was shortened.

"It was a really sad moment for me because I knew I had not only let my self down but an entire army and family called the Elites."

They say, It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves July 19th was the beginning of the rest of my life when I took the decision to be on the Bigbrother show. Excited as I was, I couldn’t fathom what the future held. I stepped into the house as an open book, believing in my strengths and weaknesses which I bore for the world to see. I was confident that these will enable me navigate through life in the house. Nothing however prepares you for the events of life except the experiences and the onus was on me to learn and live. My experiences were at an equilibrium as I made the best of friends, honed existing skills, discovered new ones, lived in the moment and partied away. However, my sad times took precedence and my journey was shortened. It was a really sad moment for me because I knew I had not only let my self down but an entire army and family called the Elites. The Elite League stood by me all through, all 800k of them and counting and I couldn’t be more grateful for you all. I love you guys so much. Life threw lemons at me and the Elite league made Margaritas with it lol 🥂I couldn’t be more grateful for the genuine love, time, prayers, energy, emotions and passion with which you carried my matter, a total stranger.
