Big Brother Naija reality star Tega Dominic has said she lied about being married during the show because it was her strategy for the game.
The season six ex-housemate said this during the reunion which aired on Thursday. Tega Dominic pointed out that separated from her husband in 2020 but decided to use marriage as a strategy on the show.
This was as she defended the romantic affair she had with Boma Akpore during the show.
“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,” Tega said.
She actually noted that she changed her mind when she came into the show and decided to introduce herself as married.
The mother of one added, “During our conversations and introductions, I just said well I’m married and I have a kid. That was supposed to be a strategy.
“Getting deep into the show, I then discovered that this was doing something great in a bad way to me.”
Speaking of her affair with Boma, Tega said, “To me, everything that was going on between me and Boma was all a cruise.”
During the reunion show, Boma also revealed that Tega told him her marriage had ended, so to him, he was dealing with a single woman.
Tega was criticised for having sexual relations with Boma in spite of her marital status which she did not reveal was over at the time.
