Isilomo
Lagos resident, Isilomo Braimoh is single and ready to mingle. An
HR manager at 27, Isilomo has an MA in Human Resource Management with
professional certification. She winds down from her hectic job by
engaging in sports, outdoor activities, food, music, and travel. A lover
of all things music, her favourite songs are currently ‘Middle Child’
by J.Cole and ‘Daz How Star Do’ by Skiibii.
Avala
Saidat “Avala” Balogun’s highest point of her life is when she gave
birth to her daughter and her single, ‘Give me a chance’. The budding
singer studied music and business at York College in Queens, New York.
It’s no wonder then that her top artists include one of the city’s most
famous exports, Mary J Blidge. Just like the Queen of Hip Hop, the Ogun
State native has ambitions to spread her music all over the world.
Tuoyo
Psychotherapist, fitness coach and “part-time stripper” Tuoyo loves
working out, reading books, watching movies, listening to his favourite
musicians Davido and J Cole and cuddling (even though he is single).
Although life has been good to this energetic 23-year-old, not being
shortlisted for an important Navy and Airforce entrance examination left
him staring at an uncertain future. Luckily, a shot at fame and fortune
on this season’s Big Brother Naija has given him another shot at making
his dreams come true.
Thelma
26-year-old Thelma Ibemere lives her life by one simple motto:
“Only hang out with those who bring out the best in you, not the stress
in you”. Although this vivacious Hair and Beauty practitioner is
currently in a relationship, she believes nothing could have kept her
away from her destiny; being in the Big Brother Naija House. When she’s
not running her hair business, Thelma finds time to dance, travel and
read. Her favourite book of all time? ‘Talent Is Not Enough’ by James C
Maxwell.
Tacha
Tacha has always wanted to be on Big Brother Naija. It comes as no
surprise then, that getting picked to be a Housemate this season, is the
highlight of her life. This spunky 23-year-old Rivers State native
lives her life like her favourite musician Cardi B does; “Do no harm but
take no mess”. Talented at making strategic money moves, Tacha would
pick her phone oversleep, any day. Although losing her mom weighs
heavily on her, the experience has taught Tacha she is as strong as an
eagle, one of her favourite animals.
Sir Dee
Sir Dee, real name Atteh Daniel Tioluwa, is a banker and graphic
designer from Kaduna State. He loves football, board games, and movies.
His favourite of all time? Any of the movies in the Lord of the Rings
franchise. Sir Dee, who is in a relationship, believes in being “the
best version of myself at all times” - and counts whistling as one of
his secret talents. If he were an animal, this 27-year-old would be a
lion. “I am kingly, dignified, but will not hesitate to defend those I
love”.
Seyi
Oluwaseyi “Seyi” Awolowo has had many highs and lows in his three
decades of existence. The bubbly entrepreneur once tried to commit
suicide but has since risen above that dark period of his teenage years
and has turned his life around. He is committed to his journey of
self-acceptance, his girlfriend and his beliefs. He demonstrates the
latter with a “Jesus’’ tattoo across his arm. Seeing his own face on a
billboard for the first time is one of the highest moments of his life
so far.
Omashola
Model and Entrepreneur Omashola is originally from Delta State but
now calls Lagos home. He loves playing basketball, cooking and “being in
the water, even though I can’t swim”. Putting his life’s motto “If you
want it, go get it – don’t just sit down” into action this year,
Omashola got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. But the
worst happened; she turned him down! Now single and focused on building
his brand, Omashalo comes into the Big Brother Naija House ready to make
his dreams come true.
Nelson
Nelson Allison, Mr. Universe Nigeria 2018, is single and looking.
When he is not consulting or modelling, he enjoys sketch drawing,
working out, watching movies and cooking. If he were a world leader, he
would ensure that both the poor and the rich had equal opportunities.
Nelson believes that it’s not over until the fat lady sings.
Mike
Mike Edwards is a husband, CEO, and athlete who doesn’t know how to
quit. The highest point in his life was the day he got married to the
love of his life. Mike owns the first Black-owned cigar line in the
United Kingdom and he’s also a professional athlete. The lowest point in
his life was when he was banned from representing Nigeria at the 2018
Commonwealth Games. He’d still come to the Big Brother Naija House even
if he had a million dollars because he never backs down from a
challenge.
Mercy
26-year-old Mercy Eke is a video vixen and businesswoman based in
Lagos. She loves cooking, swimming, travelling, and dancing. No matter
the setbacks, Mercy always picks herself up and does her best. “I’m
grateful for each and every day. Being alive today is already the
highest point of my life”. When she’s not dancing, singing or rapping,
Mercy makes time to enjoy her favourite food: white rice and pepper
soup. If she had a million dollars in her account, would Sugar still be
in the BB Naija game? “Yes, I would. I want the fame. The popularity is
very important for my business”.
KimOprah
Bubbly television presenter Kim-Oprah, believes that nothing is
impossible to achieve. The African beauty achieved the impossible when
she represented Nigeria at the Miss Intercontinental World Beauty
Pageant. Kim-Oprah is not just a pretty face she owns a business and her
favourite book is ‘Smart Money Woman’ by Arese Ugwu. There is nothing
that would make her quit the Big Brother House because she is not a
quitter.
Khafi
Police officer Khafi Kareem believes that you can have it all if
you believe in yourself. She is not only hoping to win the prize money
but she wants the exposure that being in Big Brother Naija House brings
so that she can do societal good. What people don’t know about her is
that she is secretly talented in spoken word, singing, and dancing. She
is an Ekiti native who resides in London.
Jeff
When it’s time to let loose, Jeff blasts Drake’s ‘Take Care’ and
Burna Boy’s ‘Rock Your Body’. Originally from Anambra but now residing
in Jos, Jeff is a 30-year-old banker who believes in taking things one
day at a time. His go-to food is a dish of beans, yam, amala, ewedu, and
gbegiri. Jeff also enjoys swimming and dunking a few on the basketball
court.
Jackye
Just like her spirit animal the lioness, Jackye is a fierce hunter
who led her software engineering team to win a contract to build a
Fintech app for one of the biggest companies in Africa. The 23-year-old
has only had one boyfriend her entire life and she relaxes by watching
football, playing games and eating spaghetti, her favourite meal. Her
life mantra is, “I never lose, either I win or I learn.”
Diane
Diane Yashim describes herself as an easy going girl whose
favourite outfit is a shirt, trousers, and sneakers. The model and
aspiring cook is also a graduate of the University of Debrecen in
Hungary. Studying and living there was an eye-opening experience she’ll
forever be grateful for. One of the highlights of her life is being
chosen as a Big Brother Naija Season Four Housemate and she says that
nothing would make her quit the game. She adds that she likes to try new
things and wants to see the whole experience though.
Ella
Victoria “Ella” Nnabuchi is no stranger to the limelight. She was a
runner up in a popular music talent search show and she’s a television
presenter, voice-over artist, actress, and model. She also enjoys
dancing, singing, reading, writing, travelling, and poetry. The industry
preaches that one should fake it until they make it. Not Ella, she says
it’s better to “faith it until you make It.”
Esther
Esther Olaoluwa Agunbiade is proud of her beauty and brains. The
22-year-old Lagos based lawyer was called to the bar at just twenty-one
years old. She’s also very athletic and loves to show off her figure.
Her favourite outfit? A white off the shoulder, bodycon, short dress.
“Who says a girl can’t embrace all aspects of who she is?” she
questions.
Frodd
Chemeka Frodd Okoye is a soft-spoken Investment Adviser and Sales
Executive from Anambra State. The 28-year-old believes family is
everything and that’s why he lists paying for his mother’s surgery bill
as one of the proudest moments of his life. He says nothing can make him
quit Big Brother and even if he had a million dollars, he would still
participate in the game because “the experience can never be bought.”
Gedoni
Ekpata Gedoni is a fashion entrepreneur who likes to keep it simple
with a dash of sophistication. The 31-year-old Cross Riverian enjoys
basketball, soccer, taking walks and cleaning the house! His other
talents include writing poetry and drawing portraits with a pencil. What
irritates you most about other people: The inability to take correction
as well as physical and mental laziness.
Ike
26-year-old Steve Ikechukwu Onyema, is originally from Imo State,
but bides his time between Houston, Texas, and Maryland, Lagos. He’s
loud and colourful and loves to entertain because “you only live once”.
When he lost his business in 2013, Ike had to move in with his
girlfriend. Luckily, things are looking up for him now. In his downtime,
you will find Ike eating steak and vegging out on the couch watching
his favourite movie ‘No Country For Old Men’. Not even a family loss
would make him quit the game. And if he was rich, he would still do it
for the experience.
