Q: What was the experience of being in one house for 91 days like?

A: It was   not easy at all being there for 91 days. But it was a wonderful experience. It had positive impact on all of us.  We learned to live with people of different temperament from different countries and backgrounds. We got to tolerate and endure each other because of the rule that said one was never to allow oneself to be provoked.   It was a very wonderful experience and I don’t regret going for it.

Q: What can you not be caught wearing?

A: Skirt.


Q: Which celebrity do you have a crush on?

A: My crush in Nollywood is Genevieve Nnaji. She inspires me a lot. I always want to look at her facial expression anytime I am watching her movies and the way she acts inspires me a lot. Outside, I have Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj and many others.

Q: What first impression do people have about you that is wrong?

A: Some people think I am a snob.

Q: You were just one of a very few who did not kiss anybody in the house. How could you spend 91 days like that?

A: I did kiss in the house. We played some games in the house where we had to chase women. However, I did not fall in love. People that fell in love were not many. You are making it sound as if I was the only one who did not fall in love. We had just about five couples in the entire season and it does not mean that because they were couples, everybody must be couples. It is different strokes for different people and I am just one of those people that did not just fall in love in the house.

Q: Is it because you are in love with somebody outside the house?

A: No. I am single, I don’t have a relationship.  It is not that the girls were not hot. A lot of the girls in the house were decent.  I loved the personality of many of them but you know these things. I am not one of those people who would just jump into a relationship. I take my time to observe first.

Q: Who did you have a crush on, Delish?

A: Delish had this thing about her.  As soon as she entered the house, she let everybody know that she had a very strong relationship outside the house. She was not interested in dating anybody in the house. She always told us about all the good things the guy did for her and how he had assisted her for years.  She created an aura around herself that warned people to keep off. Even at that, Delish and I were very close. She was the housemate I was closest to apart from Beverly. We did things together, we played a lot, as a result, people started having the impression that I was in love with her.

Q: This is about the third show you have done and gone up to the final, are you looking at taking part in more shows?

A: It was the third reality TV show that I had been in and I did not win. I cannot tell you that I will be looking for the next reality show to take part in or that I will not be looking for it. But I will definitely try to take my career to greater heights.  I will always try to aim for the very high things that make my career blossom.
