Former Big Brother Naija Season 20 housemate Sabrina has opened up about the circumstances that led to her voluntary exit from the reality TV show.
In a live video, she explained that while she never wanted to leave, she was medically assessed and declared fit—only to later be told she could not return.
Sabrina detailed her experience, stating that she was taken to a hospital after her exit. “On Monday, after exiting, I was transported to a hospital that was recommended to me. I was led to a specialist, a gynecologist. He examined me same day, general medical assessment. An admission was then asked by the clinic. On Tuesday afternoon, I was told all results were unremarkable, medical language for nothing dey do me (I am fine). Nothing was wrong with me. I was told I was fine,” she said.
Despite being cleared, Sabrina revealed that she was not permitted to rejoin the show. “I was elated because I believed it meant I will be on my way back to the journey I started. I was told to hold on. So I did, with no outside communication or interaction. I had no access to my phone, neither did I consume any form of media, I didn’t even watch television,” she explained.
She recounted waiting in hope for days before receiving devastating news. “I prayerfully longed for a call that would confirm my return but days passed and nothing. Then I was comforted by my chaperone and official doctor’s report that states that I have been certified medically fit and yet on Friday, I received what I consider one of the most excruciating calls of my life. On the call I was told, ‘I have the unfortunate task of telling you that you would no longer be returning to the show’,” she shared.
Expressing her sadness, Sabrina admitted she misses the house, her fellow housemates, and the experience. “I received the call while in the hospital waiting for the next thing. I waited for five days. Do I want to come back? Of course, yes. I don’t think my journey has ended. I miss Kola as much as he misses me, I miss the lights, I miss diary sessions, I haven’t worn half of the clothes I brought in,” she said.
