The families of the five finalists competing for the grand price of 45 million niara in the big brother niaja reality game show sent messages directly to them after the eviction show yesterday.

The messages were mainly to encourage the housemates and to show their support for them. Cee-C’s family however sent a representative who turned out to be her Dad’s P.A, Dana, to speak to her on behalf of the family.

This caused criticism online, as viewers slammed Cee-C’s family for not making her message special, as many accused the family of distancing themselves from her.

Following the bashing from viewers, Cee-C’s sister Vanessa has issued a statement on why they didn’t send a message directly to her.

‘I know some of us would have preferred I did the video. And trust me, I really wanted to. I needed to tell her a whole lot, especially the love from you ALL.

‘Well, when we were Contacted they Requested a selfie video from Anybody apart From the family. It was really short notice. ‘

‘Dana is a family Friend. She was actually part of my bridal train. And We all Know Cee-C has a bad sight. Don’t let no one distract you with non-issue. We totally and fully behind Cee-C. ‘

‘That said let’s keep voting we will meet In lagos Next Week??,’

She wrote on Cee-C’s Instagram page.
