In a touching display of affection, Big Brother Naija housemate Sooj expressed his deep love for his fellow contestant and romantic interest, Nelly, by gifting her a cherished ancestral necklace.
In a widely shared video, Sooj is seen professing his commitment to Nelly while holding the necklace, promising to always be by her side. He then asked if she would do the same during tough times when the world seems against him.
His exact words were, “I will stand by you. Will you stand by me when things get tough and everyone turns against me? Do you promise to always be there, no matter what?”
Nelly responded with a “Yes” and accepted the necklace, marking the moment as a symbol of their bond. Sooj explained that the necklace was passed down through generations—from his great-grandmother to his grandmother and then to his mother. He admitted that he unintentionally brought it to the house but has no regrets now that she has it.
Nelly expressed her surprise at discovering Sooj’s sweet and caring nature. However, many viewers remain skeptical, speculating that the affection between the two might not be genuine or could be one-sided.
