At the time of your first eviction from the house, did you see it coming?
Yes. I had that feeling that I might be going home that week because I felt like my time was up in the House.
Why did you think your time was up?
Well, I just kind of had that feeling like I have been there almost long enough and the house was beginning to wear on me, but luckily I got the second chance to get back to the house and that was definitely one of the biggest moments for me.
A lot of people were of the opinion that your strategy for the second time was to distract Tobi from Cee-C. Was that so?
That is totally wrong because, first and foremost, I have no issues with Cee-C and I think the opinion people had was that I was going after Tobi to get on Cee-C, but the fact is Cee C and I already had issues, even before I left the House so, there was no way that I was going to the one to mess them up. I didn’t want Tobi in the first place; everybody already know who I want.
When the opportunity to go back to the House for the second time came; what strategies did you adopt?
Honestly, I never had any strategy and a lot of housemates thought that I changed, but that was their thinking. I was just been real at all times. I didn’t think of doing anything differently, even though everybody wanted to win. But I didn’t want to win on pretence or doing what people had told me to do. I was just me and that is the honest truth.
How would you describe your journey to the BBN House?
First of all, it was a crazy journey and amazing at the same time. Aside the fact that it was a game and everyone was trying to win, it was definitely an awesome moment as those other 19 contestants are people I ordinarily won’t have met, but the platform gave us the opportunity to. The house taught me to learn how to deal with people and has helped increased who I am as a person and as a woman. Not forgetting, the house made me get into my emotions.
Aside from Lolu, which other male housemates were you attracted to?
Honestly, I can say every man in that house is actually cute. Before going to the house, one hoped to meet, at least, one or two male housemates who are fine, but whao, every guy in that house was actually handsome. But on the long run, someone won my heart. Someone had to now.
You and Lolu looked too good as a couple. Are there plans on cementing the relationship that started from the house?
First, we both were on the show to gain platforms for our various careers. Yes, we indeed, met ourselves in the house and now that we are out of the house, we are really focused on building our careers and getting all the exposure we can get. If something is going to happen between us, it will be because, as grown adults, we want it to and not because people think we are cute together or smart.
It was totally an amazing moment for me while in the house to have won the challenge, even though I would have loved to win a challenge that the money comes to my personal account. But the Airtel Challenge victory was bigger than me and that makes it amazing. It’s something for my village and especially, because I want to get involved in politics, people will now know that I have an idea in contributing my own quota and further developing the country at large.
You never won any of the Payporte Challenge. What happened?
I was always close to winning the Friday Payporte game but Big Brother messed me up. I was always good at playing puzzles and then I started to lose but I am happy that the person who won the game at the end of the show deserved it.
How is life going to be like for you from this point?
Life is definitely going to be different now. I actually do have a job; I am the Head of Operation for the Continental Basketball League. So, I am trying my best to balance things up, coupled with many other things in front of me. Now that I have an entertainment platform, I’ll definitely want to act, love to host either on TV or radio, launch a couple of businesses (hair product), Talent Management Company but like I said earlier, my main goal is to get involved in politics in 2019. Now that the youths are not too young to rule, I want to catch up with the train.
Since your relocation to Nigeria, what do you like about the country?
One thing I like about Nigerians is that, in spite of all the challenges, we just know how to make it work. Nigerians are hustlers because a typical Nigerian, despite having a bad day, will still wake up and go to work the following day, forgetting about whatever had happened. Positive vibe always; Nigerians are far more skilled than to be called lazy.
The house had lots of drama which did you find annoying?
For me, I would always say the biggest thing in that house was the fact that people used to fight over food. I say it every day because, for me, it didn’t make any sense at all; fighting over food when you know you are living in somebody’s house for free. So, it baffles me why people fight for what they didn’t pay for.
What was your greatest fear after leaving the house?
Although, I was a little bit afraid when I left the house because I didn’t know what the world feels about me, but my mother was the first person that I called and she was teary on phone, expressing how proud she was of me and that is all that matters. I read a lot of things about me on social media, but the fact that my parents were proud of me, that was all that matters, as other comments doesn’t count.
