Four new housemates were introduced into the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality show on Sunday, August 8.
Both viewers and housemates were shocked as no one expected the new twist into the show.
The new housemates are Michael, Keyvee, JMK and Queen.
Meanwhile, three housemates were evicted from the show on the same evening. The evicted housemates are Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice.
Below are details of the new housemates.
- Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene (Michael)
“A bad boy with magnetism” and “open minded,” are some of the words Ebuka uses to describe himself. This 28-year-old musician and aspiring filmmaker was born in Lagos, then moved to the United States of America as a teenager – but is currently based in Abuja.
Calling himself a “curious participant of life”, Ebuka likes to explore interests and people with an open mind and maintains he is dedicated to growing into the best version of himself. He believes being the product of two different societies; America and Nigeria, has created an interesting perspective on life that many viewers will be able to relate to.
In his free time, you will find Ebuka writing, creating music or pursuing his interests in cinematography.
2. Gbolahan Ololade (Kayvee)
Originally from Ogun State, 26-year-old Kayvee currently resides in Lagos, where he works as a photographer. His hobbies include playing football, clubbing and playing cards.
He believes he is innovative and fun to be around, and says people call him handsome. Kayvee says his career high point is when he had the opportunity to photograph one of Nigeria’s biggest artists.
While he likes to experiment with styling and colouring his hair, he says that harassment in the streets has put a damper on this aspect of his life.
