2nd Nigerian Housemate For The Big Brother Africa Show

Nigeria's second representative at the up coming Big brother show which is set to hit your screens on Friday 5th October 2014 is Tayo, a 29 year old  1.93m-tall model with a Higher National Diploma in Maritime Studies. Tayo, certainly stands out in a crowd. He lists his favorite foods as Eba an Okra Soup mixed with fish stew, his favorite musicians as 2Face Idibia, Beautiful Nubia and D’Banj.

Tayo says his favorite place in Nigeria is Oyo Town, his place of birth. “That’s my home, where I started life. It reminds me of who I am now and how far I’ve come in life,” he says. He says the best thing about Africa is “culture and pride” and that his favorite place outside of Nigeria is South Africa, which he calls his “home away from home“.

He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he believed in himself, and was also encouraged to enter by others. “I like to be seen and to be heard,” he says. Tayo says he’s not willing to change who he is or disgrace his family and friends to impress viewers or his fellow Housemates. If Tayo wins the grand prize, he says he’ll, set up his life and give himself a life of luxury.
