Tayo From Nigeria

Tayo, Age: 28

A 1.93m-tall model with a Higher National Diploma in Maritime Studies, Tayo from Nigeria, certainly stands out in a crowd. 

 

He lists his favourite foods as eba and okra soup mixed with fish stew, his favourite musicians are 2Face Idibia, Beautiful Nubia and D’Banj. 

 

 He says his favourite 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 favourite place outside of Nigeria is South Africa, which he calls his “home away from home”. 

 

 He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he believes 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’ll set up his life and give himself a life of luxury. 

Pleasant surprises may reduce him to tears but Tayo is not prepared to cheat on his girl with anyone in the Big Brother house. He's happy with his body so he wouldn't want to swap his with anyone.
