In a candid chat with Ebuka during the latest BBNaija Season 9 live show, Wanni shared her thoughts on the relationship between housemates Nelly and Sooj, raising serious doubts about their future. Her concerns stem not only from their age difference but also from something Nelly had revealed while still in the house—she might already have someone waiting for her outside.
Wanni recounted a moment when she playfully teased Nelly about her growing bond with Sooj. Nelly responded by warning her not to spoil what she already had outside the house, hinting that her heart might not be fully in the relationship. “Abeg o, don’t spoil wetin I get for outside,” Nelly had said, suggesting there could be another relationship waiting for her once she leaves the BBNaija house.
In addition to this, Wanni pointed out their age difference as a potential issue. Nelly, at 29, is in a phase of her life where she seems ready to settle down, while Sooj, at 23, might not be as ready for that commitment. “She’s somebody that wants to settle down soon,” Wanni said, emphasizing that Nelly’s intentions were clear. However, she expressed her doubts that Sooj, being younger and freshly out of the house, would be on the same page. “I don’t think Sooj is in that space to want to do that.”
While Wanni acknowledged that her opinions were personal and she could be wrong, the combination of Nelly’s “something outside” and Sooj’s youth left her unsure about the longevity of their relationship. The question now remains—can Nelly and Sooj make their relationship work, or will outside factors and differing life stages pull them apart? Only time will tell, but fans are certainly intrigued by this new revelation.
