The laid back fitness enthusiast is another housemate causing a buzz on social media. Social media users discovered he comes from a wealthy family, and his father is Nigerian billionaire businessman, Terry Waya.
Housemates got involved in a get to know me session that finally gave us a clearer understanding of who these housemates are.
In preparation for getting to know me session on Thursday, Housemates came together and shared their stories.
Here are some of what we learned from that:
When it comes to relationships, Vee and Prince are definitely on two different paths. Prince had a love affair that lasted 2 years, while Vee hasn’t given her heart to anyone for longer than six months.
During their chat, Eric learned that Laycon is a musician who, during the premiere of season five, used his own song as the soundtrack for his light-filled entrance. He also has a deep love for Nina Simone. Laycon learned that if money was no object, Eric would buy a basketball team.
When it comes to being opposites, they don’t come anymore different than Erica and Kiddwaya. Erica left home at 19 years of age and never looked back, while Kiddwaya feels taking your time to establish yourself is fine too.
Kaisha found it hard to believe that Trikytee is 35 years-old. Kaisha asked him repeatedly, and each time she believed him less. His youthful looks certainly had her fooled. Kaisha let it slip that she’s not as confident as she looks after struggling to take a compliment from Prince.
Nengi also let us into some of the struggles she has faced, after losing both of her parents. She wished that she had the superpower of time travel so that she could see her parents just one last time. Wathoni in return told Nengi that the reason she decided to enter Biggie’s house, was so that she could let the world know she exists. “The world needs to know that this girl exists,” said Wathoni.
Lucy gave us our first on-screen tears as she shared the difficulties that she has experienced in her life.
While chatting with Lucy, Brighto let it be known that he is multilingual and is able to speak Ibo, Hausa, and Yoruba.
Praise told Vee in a chat that he is engaged and has a child with his partner of four years. His fiance permitted him to be bad when you have to to be bad.
In his chat with Lucy, Ozo mentioned the importance of keeping a positive mind. This realization came to him after he lost his dream job as a Sports Administrator at the UEFA had to move back to Nigeria.
