Kola Opens Up to Dede, Gets a No Response – BBNaija 2025

While most of the housemates were tucked in and recharging for the day ahead, emotions stirred quietly in a corner of the Big Brother Naija house as Kola finally mustered the courage to express his feelings for Dede — and it didn’t quite go the way he’d hoped.

The intimate late-night conversation began with Kola trying to catch Dede’s attention.

“Dede, I’m talking to you,” he said, after noticing she seemed distracted.

“Ohh sh*t… I can hear you for real. Am I supposed to look at you straight?” she replied, half-jokingly, clearly caught off guard.

Kola then took a bold step: “I noticed you spend a lot of time with Jason,” he said, hinting at a perceived closeness. But Dede wasn’t here for assumptions. “Can you talk about things that matter?” she challenged. “If that’s how you feel, let’s not involve third parties, okay?”

Trying to keep things clear, Kola reassured her: “I’m not trying to get third parties involved. I just want to know you for who you really are. I’m not trying to choke you with constant talk or force anything. You have your friendships — I respect that. I just want you to know I’m attracted to you.”

Dede’s response was measured, but firm. “First of all, I don’t assume things. I’m a straightforward person,” she said. “Because you gave me a wink doesn’t mean there’s something behind it. I don’t do mixed signals — we’re adults.”

She didn’t mince words as she dropped the bombshell:

“I’m in a serious relationship outside the house. I’m not open.”

Still, she didn’t entirely shut the door on friendship. “If you say, ‘Okay, cool — I respect that, and I just want to be friends,’ that’s fine. But if tomorrow you come back saying you need reciprocation or that your feelings are growing — that won’t happen. It will definitely not happen, by God’s grace.”

Kola pressed on, saying he found her funny and loved the way she carried herself. But Dede remained firm, clarifying that her bond with Jason was purely platonic. “We talk about the most random things. There’s never been an ‘I like you’ conversation.”

Kola wasn’t convinced. “That’s not what it looks like,” he said.

But Dede, unmoved, stood by her words.

This moment adds another layer to the ever-evolving web of emotions in the BBNaija house. For Kola, the confession may have been a step toward clarity, but for Dede, it was a reminder of where her boundaries lie.

One thing’s certain: with emotions simmering beneath the surface, the nights in the 10/10 house are just as dramatic as the days.
