Ruth Akpan, known as Rhuthee from the Floruish duo on BBNaija season 9, has shared her perspective on her time in the house following her eviction on August 18, 2024. In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, Rhuthee addressed the dynamics between her and the twin housemates, Wanni and Handi, revealing the challenges she faced.
Rhuthee expressed that, during her stay, the twins were rarely confronted, which led her to step up and challenge them. She noted, “No one could stand up to the twins, so I did,” emphasizing that her confrontations were driven by a need to address issues that others were avoiding.
The twins, Wanni and Handi, were known for their contentious interactions with Rhuthee. She mentioned that the house was rife with conflict and described the twins as major instigators. “Yes, 70% of what I said during the arguments was true,” she affirmed, defending her side of the disputes.
Reflecting on her experience, Rhuthee revealed that she expected the negative reactions from the twins. “I was expecting it. I mean, what do you expect from classless people?” she said, showing no regret for her actions.
Rhuthee also shared that she was mindful of her partner’s feelings throughout the competition. “Yes, I did consider her. If you tell me something, I react the way I perceive it in the moment,” she explained. Her partner, known for her calm demeanor, often advised her to stay composed to avoid being used against her.
Regarding her nominations, Rhuthee cited her decision to nominate the Chekas pair, citing irritation with their behavior. “One thing Chizoba did was, anytime you wanted to have a conversation with her, she looked around for cameras,” she noted.
On her relationship with Mayor Frosh of the Streeze pair, Rhuthee described him as a “friend” and expressed openness towards his interest in other housemates. “If you still want to go for Nelly, that’s cool. I told him that if there’s somebody you like in the house, you could steal some kisses,” she said, showing a relaxed attitude towards their dynamic.
If given another chance, Rhuthee said she would be more authentic. “I compromised a lot because of my partner. If I went to the house alone, I’m sure the internet would have been buzzing every two weeks,” she admitted.
Concluding her interview, Rhuthee expressed her support for the Zinwe and DoubleKay pairs as potential winners of the show.
