‘Go play with sand’ — Alex Unusual fires back at troll who dug up her school past

Social media user Amelia Nneka challenged former Big Brother Naija housemate Alex Unusual to provide an English translation of a post for non-speakers of the Nsukka dialect. Responding to the request, Nneka questioned why Unusual, a resident of Nsukka, required the translation and brought up their alleged shared time at the Akintola/Akpabio hostel.

Unusual questioned whether everyone who had viewed the video understood the dialect, but Nneka persisted by referencing her own school background and mocking Unusual's request. Unusual clarified that she did not personally know Nneka and cautioned against making assumptions about her, stating that she was widely known from both her time in school and after graduation.

The confrontation escalated when Nneka mocked Unusual's appearance, including her green hair and various hairstyles, as well as her associations with male students during her studies in Agriculture. Nneka also made disparaging remarks about Unusual's mental state. In response, Unusual outlined various ways that her classmates would have been aware of her presence, including through conversations, school publications, personal encounters, or performances with the Federation Theatre Group.

She added that some students would have seen her dance and win during brand promotions. In a subsequent post, Unusual reflected on her experience with anti-bullying advocacy, stating that sometimes individuals needed to be reprimanded.
