There is trouble in the Big Brother UK House – but when is there not? This time Nigerian-British housemate Hannah Agboola found herself sparking a race argument after a dispute over waiting for others before eating dinner in the house escalated on Wednesday night.

It was dinner time in the Big Brother House and housemates Imran and Tom had prepared Spaghetti Bolognese but while the other housemates waited patiently to eat dinner together; housemate Ellie and Chanelle went into the kitchen and started eating before others. This didn’t go down well with some of the housemates with Agboola and Imran telling them off. But when the girls turned on Agboola telling her to stay out of the matter and calling her an angry cow, Agboola went into the diary room to vent to Big Brother and the cameras.

“When you’re a black girl, they like to take advantage of you and try to get the worst out of you!’ she said. “I am Hannah, before colour. I am Hannah, before being 22. I am Hannah, before being Nigerian!  Don’t try making a perception on me that you can do this s**t continuously to me. They think if they get at me I’m going to pop off one day, but I’m not that violent person!”

The 22-year-old Hannah Agboola from Stratford is the current reigning Miss Nigeria UK 2016 who wants to “inspire the youth of today’s UK-born-Nigerians to embrace their culture.

She has described her personality trait as “confidence and bravery” and no matter what comes her way she “doesn’t shy away or back down from a challenge.”

However, some twitter users feel she went too far playing the race card. Someone asked on Twitter:

Agboola said she wanted to do Big Brother because she wants to do something she has never done before. “It’s a unique experience. I want to be challenged as a person. I want to do something outside of the box”.

There is another Nigerian housemate is this year’s Big Brother UK and her name is Deborah. They are very entertaining and make this year’s show very interesting.
