Ex-Shine Ya Eye star, and Big Brother Naija season 6 ex-housemate, Tega Dominic has insisted that had her ex-husband, Ajeboh Dominic obeyed and stuck with the agreement they had together before going into the reality TV show, the narrative about what she did with Boma in the show wouldn’t have been disastrous.
Tega stated this during the Shine Ya Eye Reunion, Day 11, (episode 11) on Thursday night, June 16 after she was asked by the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu when she separated from the father of her son.
Tega said that she and her then-husband, went their separate ways in 2020. And before she got into the House, they both had conversation and agreed that he wouldn’t come out at any point in time to identify with the general public.
Tega also informed the ex-husband that she would be playing her game the way she prefers it, so, he needs to stay away from the conversation online. But as we all saw, Tega’s ex-husband came out at the time Tega’s under the duvet moment with Boma went viral and identified himself as her husband.
Also, Tega noted that the fact she went into the House with the strategy of telling her colleagues she was married, didn’t eventually play out, as it became a good plan with wrong execution.
Ebuka asked, “So, Tega, I want to come to you now, because for those who don’t know, or may be hearing this for the first time. Boma just said you were separated already. When did it happen”?
Tega responded, “We separated 2020. We had a conversation”. Ebuka mistakenly asked, “You and your husband”? And Tega said, “No, my ex-husband”. And Ebuka added, “Oh, sorry, your ex-husband”.
Tega continued, “So, we had a conversation, because there was a mutual respect, because he’s the father of my kid. So, there’s this understanding. I told him, you know me, I’m crazy, right. This show, even my dad at past cannot stop me from going for it and it’s already time.
“You know I’m crazy, anything can go on, but please. Stay out of it. Don’t say anything and all that. It’s my game.
“For a fact, I didn’t go into the show as married, I went in as separated. In all my interviews, I clearly stated it. I went in as separated. So, getting to the House, to be very honest, the first thing that threw me off balance was walking in and seeing Jaypaul, but, Jaypaul didn’t know the situation that was going on.
“And I was like, is this guy going to snitch on me, what do I do? And during our introduction, I told them I was married. Now, that was supposed to be a strategy.
“Going deep into the show, I discovered this was doing something great, in a bad way. But to me, everything was all cruise. Everything that was going on between I and Boma was all cruise.
Ebuka interrupted and asked, “Marriage is a big deal, regardless of where it is, but may be I’ll say we’re a little more dramatic about the way we judge. So, how did that not kick in? To like telling yourself, okay, I wonder what people are saying about this. Why did you not say you were separated?
Tega answered “Before I got into the show, we (I and my ex-husband) had a conversation. If he had stuck to the conversation, I believe all of these wouldn’t have happened, because he came out, and people say, oh there’s someone in the picture.
“So, if he had kept to the conversation, people will wonder where he is. Where’s this man? So, to me, it was a mind game”.
Ebuka went further and asked, “So, you mean saying that I’m married and they can’t see this person was supposed to be interesting”?
And Tega replied, “Going on in the show, I would have still come out. Like I said, I was playing a mind game. Going on in the show, I would have still come out, may be in one of our games, I would have just said it. But, it is what it is”.
Ebuka asked, “Same question I asked Boma. Was there at any point, outside of the friendship, you got feelings, because there were a lot of whispering, there were a lot of under the duvet moments, there was the green room. Was it all a game for you?
Tega responded, “Okay, there were no feelings aside what we were doing in the House. There’s mutual respect between us. We know if we finally go out of the House, we will see ourselves like normal colleagues.
