Big Brother Naija 6 ‘Shine Ya Eye’ winner, Hazel Oyeye Onou, better known as WhiteMoney, has been accused of tribalism after revealing his favourite housemates for the season 7 edition of the TV reality show.
TheNiche earlier reported that WhiteMoney identified four housemates he would like to win the ‘Level Up’ edition of the show.
The reality star, in a tweet on his verified Twitter page, said he is supporting Phyna, Bryann, Hermes, and Bella to win the N100million grand prize.
WhiteMoney said, ”Been watching #BBNaijaSeason7 for a while now, and in no order, these are the housemates I am stanning, Phyna, Bryann, Hermes and Bella.”

Reacting to the post, a Twitter user identified as Olaoluwa slammed the BBNaija winner and accused him of leaving out Yoruba housemates and leaning towards only housemates of Igbo extraction.
According to him, despite being a Yoruba man, he supported Whitemoney, who is an Igbo man, when he participated in the show.
Olaoluwa wrote, “I stanned you last season and now you’re beginning to upset me..so tribalistic! Not one yoruba on your list ..is it a coincidence that they are all Igbo kinda? Rubbish. #BBNaija #VoteAdekunle”
However, a quick check by our correspondent revealed that while three of the housemates listed by the BBNaija winners are Igbo, Phyna is from Edo State.
Similarly, another netizen, Daniel Chidiebere who seems to be rooting for lovebirds, Bella and Sheghz also disagreed with Whitemoney, saying the show is not a poverty alleviation forum.
He wrote, “Oga BBN is not a poverty alleviation forum you way be landlord for Lagos enter house with poverty format this season we no agree Bella or Shegz most win na only them dey bring drama”
