Drama has taken yet another turn in the Big Brother Naija Season 9 reality TV show, with one of the fans’ favourite couples in the house, Topher and Anita-ship name “Tonita“-hitting bad waters. What seemed to be an unbreakable relationship now hangs on a thread as Anita recently found out that Topher lied about his age.

Their romance began when Anita, 29, first made it known that she liked dating men older than herself. Finding himself possibly losing an opportunity, Topher-actually 26-lied to her, telling her he was 29 years of age to impress her. It took some time, but Anita eventually fell for Topher, and the two became one of the favourite couples in the house.

Disappointment brought them to a heart-to-heart conversation where Anita compelled Topher to tell the truth about his age. And after dodging the question for hours, he finally confessed to being 26. The aftermath of this left Anita heartbroken.

But it only turns out to be too much for Anita as she feels she is being betrayed and lied to. The disappointment is very tangible, and Anita is seen crying after knowing the truth. The question now is on everyone’s mind if this couple could mend their relationship or whether this will have been the end of “Tonita” in the Big Brother house.

This has left fans and housemates wondering why Topher didn’t just be upfront from the beginning and whether Anita could have picked up on it sooner. Undeniably, this bombshell will be one of the hottest topics this season as, to this date, Anita has to deal with the pain, hurt, and disappointment that such a huge part of the man she got to know was being kept hidden from her.
