Former Big Brother Naija housemate Alex Unusual has engaged in a heated exchange with a social media user following a disagreement over her request for an English translation of a video featuring the Nsukka dialect.
The reality television star, whose real name is Alexandra Asogwa, reportedly requested the translation to enable people who did not understand the dialect to follow the video’s message.
However, a female social media user identified as Amelia Nneka questioned why Alex needed the translation, particularly because of her alleged connection to Nsukka and their claimed university history.
The woman reportedly referenced their time at Akintola/Akpabio hostel, suggesting that Alex should have understood the language without needing an explanation.
Responding to the question, Alex asked whether everyone who watched the video understood the dialect, maintaining that requesting a translation was not unusual.
The disagreement subsequently escalated after the woman reportedly began making personal remarks about Alex’s university days, appearance and past activities.
Among the issues raised were Alex’s hairstyles, her green hair, her studies in Agriculture and alleged interactions with male students during her time at the university.
The woman also reportedly made insulting comments about the reality star’s personal life and mental state.
Alex, however, pushed back against the remarks, questioning the woman’s assumptions and explaining that being recognised by people from her university days did not necessarily mean they had a personal relationship.
She stated that students could have known about her through school magazines, conversations, personal encounters or her involvement with the university’s Federation Theatre Group.
The reality star also recalled that some students came out of their hostels to watch her dance and participate in brand promotions during her university days.
In another response, Alex referenced her experience with anti-bullying advocacy, suggesting that it had taught her that people sometimes needed to be firmly confronted when they crossed certain boundaries.
She also dismissed the woman’s personal attacks, telling her to go and play with sand.
The exchange has drawn attention to the way a simple request for clarification over a local-language video can develop into a personal disagreement on social media.
Alex, who became popular after participating in Big Brother Naija in 2018, has remained active in entertainment, fashion and social advocacy since leaving the reality television show.
The latest disagreement has once again placed her outspoken personality at the centre of online conversations, with the argument moving beyond the original discussion about the Nsukka dialect into personal references to her university experience.
While the exact statement about no longer responding to the woman requires confirmation from Alex’s original post, the reported exchange shows how the disagreement escalated after personal issues were introduced into the conversation.
