The contestants for this season of BBNaija have all been unveiled and we can say we are all very excited about the men of the house. There are 10 men in total and each of them promises to be so much fun in the house.
Let’s meet the new housemates.
Ozo
He was the first housemate we saw and we are not even mad. Ozoemena “Ozo” Chukwu is a 27-year-old consultant and entrepreneur from Imo State. He’s worked with a UEFA Federation in Europe. He enjoys watching documentaries and TV shows. He is also a first-class Economics graduate and he plans to bring a lot of mischief to the house.
Praise
Praise Nelson is a 28-year-old dancer from Enugu. He is also a fitness and personal trainer and a certified Latin ballroom expert. Prince is no stranger to fame as he has been to international competitions and won. He was a winner at the K-Pop World Festival, South Korea 2015 and won third place at a national Dance Competition in 2010. He is an easy-going person who loves food, hates dishonesty and hopes to bring life into the house.
Tricky Tee
He describes himself as an inbetweener; too ‘butty’ to be ‘pako’, to ‘pako’ to be ‘butty’. Tricky Tee is a 35-year-old creative artist and Lagos resident who hails from Bayelsa State, Nigeria. He loves good, meeting people and hates proud people. His biggest achievement was winning the best director at the NYSC cultural and sports festival in Abuja 2013 for the best stage drama. Guess we can look forward to lots of drama from him.
Eric
When he walked in, everyone took notice. Eric Akhigbe (24), who hails from Edo State, is a final year student at the University of Lagos. Standing tall at 1.95m (6’5feet), he is a fitness instructor whose greatest achievement is helping over 100 people achieve their fitness goals. Eric describes himself as a fun, competitive sports and fitness enthusiast who enjoys winning. He’s also promised us a lot of nudity, even though he says he is also a shy person who takes his time to unveil his wild side. Guess we’ll be seeing a lot in the next 10 weeks.
Prince
Nelson Enwerem Prince is a 24-year-old entrepreneur from Abia. Currently living in Lagos, he is a jack-of-all-trades whose portfolio includes modelling, fashion designing and interior decoration. He enjoys active sports and reading about ancient religions and African history. He has also been a winner of Mr Nigeria and competed in the Mr World competition. He promised to bring lots of trouble and we are ready for it all.
Neo
Hailing from Warri, Emuobonuvie “Neo” Akpofure is a 26-year-old native of Delta State who works as a ride-hailing app driver. He describes himself as the cruise master who is fun-loving and smart. He loves honesty and he won’t hesitate to ‘change it’ for annoying who is a bully. He promises to bring non-stop vibes to the house.
Laycon
Surely his nickname should be ‘Laycon of Lagos’. Olamilekan “Laycon” Agbeleshe, who lit his way into the house with his battery-powered sweatshirt, is a 26-year-old singer and rapper from Lagos who has spent all of his time, well, in Lagos. Laycon is no small artist as his track, ‘Fierce’ with Reminisce, stayed on the MTV’s Top 10 music chart for six months. The graduate of Philosophy from the University of Lagos describes himself as a sexual enthusiast (what does that even mean) who is open and ready to have fun in the house.
