After putting up a good show at the Big
Brother house for 63 days, Tayo Faniran, first runner and Nigerian housemate
recently returned home and was welcomed with all the pomp befitting a hotshot
at a lavish reception.
As is customary, MultiChoice Nigeria,
M-Net and proud sponsor Jameson threw him a well-attended homecoming party
which took place at the popular Cova Lounge, in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Speaking with the media shortly before
his party, Tayo said he was shocked when Idris Sultan of Tanzania was declared
the winner of the reality show.
However, the 28 year old model and new
dad explained that the interaction with other Africans in the Big Brother house
and the exposure to the rich and diverse cultures in Africa have adequately
prepared him to further pursue a career in acting, singing, or as a TV
presenter.
He said: “I was
really shocked when IK declared Idris the winner of the show. I genuinely
thought I would win, or at least be declared a co-winner! Nonetheless I’m
incredibly grateful for the unique opportunity and exposure Big Brother has
given me. All I can tell Nigerians, Africa and the rest of the world now is
‘watch this space!’”.
MultiChoice General Manager, Marketing, Martin Mabutho
expressed the MultiChoice’s pride in the reality show’s ability to bring
Africans together. “MultiChoice,
M-Net, and the show's partners, worked hard to make this season of Big Brother
Africa bigger than the last and we thank all stakeholders for their support,”
he said.
Efosa Aiyevbomwan, Publicity and Talent
Lead for M-Net (West), said: “We work hard to make each edition of Big Brother
Africa bigger than the last and this year provided yet another mix of
excitement, intrigue and incredible entertainment for our viewers.”
The reality show which began with 26
housemates successfully came to an end on Sunday, December 7, 2014.
