Housemates, Tolanibaj and Prince have sunk their ship that had been sailing along happily. Here’s how their romance in the Big Brother Naija House became a memory.

The game of love is known for being a gamble and today in the Big Brother House two people who were playing it, decided to call it quits. The pair was Toanibaj and Prince and this evening their ship stopped sailing.

After different instances of courting and failed triangles, Prince became partnered up with Tolanibaj. Their ‘ship had been sailing along smoothly, but today after the Kuda Bank Task, it hit some rough waters and abruptly sank.

Tolanibaj was wrapped in a blanket lying on Prince’s lap as they sat in the lounge having what at first seemed like a lacklustre conversation, but it ended up taking a surprising turn.

Prince remarked that he was feeling sleepy, to which Tolanibaj replied:

When you were supposed to be sleeping, where were you sleeping?

Prince tried to stifle his displeasure as he replied:

Nothing I do is ever good enough for you, and you already said that I don’t make you happy.

This is where things took a turn for the worse as Tolanibaj sat up a little as if tensing for an argument, to counter the statement put before her with the question:

So we don’t make each happy?

Prince tried to save himself for the approaching onslaught by saying:

I didn’t say you don’t make me happy.

By then it was too late and Tolani had found her point was ready to run with. She doubled down on her point by reiterating:

I know I don’t make you happy. You have never complained and I know I’m not perfect.

Prince smelling the trouble he was in tried to backtrack and told her:

Never assume anything until I say so… If I don’t like you I will tell you I don’t like you.

From this moment Tolanibaj knew she had Prince on the hook and all she had to do was let him catch himself out. Prince continued trying to reaffirm his position by stating:

I didn’t.

From this moment Tolanibaj knew she had Prince on the hook and all she had to do was let him catch himself out. Prince continued trying to reaffirm his position by stating:

I didn’t ever tell you that you don’t make me happy, you assume that you don’t make me happy. So technically what you said is that I don’t make you happy.

Tolanibaj didn’t miss a beat and replied:

Yeah, you don’t make me happy.

From there the whole situation took a downward spiral as Prince suggested that they should go back to being friends as their dissimilarities, which they were unsuccessfully trying to fix, wasn’t healing. Prince added that he wasn’t going to try and force a relationship to work. Tolanibaj knew that this was the best option and accepted what Prince was offering to her in her typically cool manner by replying:

I think we should do that.

Just like that, a ‘ship that seemed to have been sailing along smoothly became a thing of the past in the Big Brother House. If this ship is ever to sail again it will have to be under much different circumstances.
