#BBNaija 2019: Thelma and Esther fight over calling people with Down syndrome “imbeciles (video)

It looks like the drama in the ongoing big brother reality show is not ending any time soon as Thelma and Esther engaged in a heated argument.

It all started when the two housemates were discussing about people plagued with “Down Syndrome”. During the course of there discussion, Thelma stated that those affected by “Down Syndrome” are imbeciles.

Her statement provoked Esther who tried to correct her but Thelma seemed obstinate to the correction. Esther’s continuous stubbornness led to a heated argument that nearly developed to a fight if not  for the timely intervention of other housemates.
