Arin Olowoporoku, 2021 Big Brother Naija housemate says she envisaged that she would spend five or seven weeks in the ongoing season of the reality tv show.
As earlier reported by eelive.ng, Arin was evicted alongside Princess last week from the Big Brother House.
In a chat with Punch, Arin said she thought she would last longer in the show but knew that people would judge her based on her appearance.
She said, “I definitely did not expect to win. I feel like I know Nigerians enough and I knew they were going to judge me. However, I did not know they were going to ‘villain-ise’ me as much as they did but I definitely knew they were going to judge me. But, I envisaged that I would spend about five or seven weeks in the competition. I left earlier than I expected to leave though but many of the things did not surprise me at all.”
She continued “Of course, (because of) my face and how I look. I am a woman, skinny and dark-skinned. Also, I am very vocal, opinionated and fierce. I have piercings on my face and I’m very expressive.
“People don’t usually expect that from women, so I knew I was going to be judged. Until people have personal interactions with me, I am a conundrum to them. They don’t understand me but when they come closer, their views of me change.”
Speaking on what inspired her love for piercings, Arin said, “I was young and I really loved to express myself. I wanted to wear jewellery and accessories in unfamiliar and unorthodox places. I just wanted to have piercings and I did. I started when I was 15 and I have not stopped.
“I used to have 23 piercings but I took some out and I now have 17. But, they are not all going to be permanent. It would change from time to time.”
