Top Nigerian reality show, Big Brother Naija, has recruited four new housemates in the show’s Sixth version. This happened at the Show’s Sunday live show on the 8th of August.
The new housemates are Michael, JMK, Kayvee, and Queen. Here is all you need to know about them:
Micheal
Full name: Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene
He describes himself as “a dirty lad with attraction” and “open-minded.” Born in Lagos, Nigeria, this 28-year-old musician and aspiring filmmaker relocated to the United States as a youngster. An artiste, Micheal, is now stationed in Abuja.
He describes himself as a “curious participant of life,” enjoys exploring new interests and individuals with an open mind. Michael says he is committed to become the best version of himself. Being a product of two different societies, America and Nigeria, he says, has given him a unique perspective on life that many viewers would relate to. The new housemate spends his free time writing, making music, and pursuing his cinematography hobbies. Fans are already looking forward to a romantic pairing between him and fellow housemate, Angel, further tagging the ‘ship’ AngelMicheal.
JMK
This new housemate’s full name is Jumoke Zainab Adedoyin. She is a 23-year-old law graduate from Kwara State. A food blogger, she aspires to join the Nigerian Bar as a certified member. She enjoys music, dancing, and traveling.
JMK is arguably one new housemate viewers will be on the lookout for as series of her old tweets have resurfaced. Using her Twitter handle, the lawyer made some derogatory comments about previous seasons’ housemates, Tacha, Erica and Laycon, musician, Wizkid and even the Big Brother Naija show itself.
Kayvee
Full name: Gbolahan Ololade.
This 26 year old housemate is originally from Ogun State and now lives in Lagos, where he works as a photographer. Football, clubbing, and playing cards are some of his favorite pastimes.
He thinks he’s creative and entertaining, and that people think he’s attractive. Kayvee considers the opportunity to photograph one of Nigeria’s biggest performers to be a career highlight.
The photographer enjoys experimenting with hairstyles and colors. He claims that street harassment has put a damper on this element of his life.
Queen
Full name: Mercy Atang
Queen is a 26 year old philanthropist and aspiring politician. The new addition to the Big Brother house hails from the state of Akwa Ibom and is a Tansian University graduate. Queen doubles as an international beauty queen. She describes herself as “beautiful, courageous, and fearless”. According to her, being raised by a single mother taught her a lot about life. She considers herself to be ambitious, a true leader and an excellent communicator who is very calculating, loyal, and peaceful.
