Former Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye housemate, Niyi Lawal, has revealed reasons he asked his wife and son to join him in Nigeria.
Niyi, who was formerly residing in South Africa before the show, in a recent interview, stated that he had always wanted to move back to the country but the show had opened more doors for him.
He said contrary to people’s belief that his business and fantasy might not work in Nigeria, he said his belief is strong.
Niyi also stated that his major reason for such a decision was money.
He said, “I had always looked forward to returning home. However, I finally made the decision because of the awareness I got from BBN.
“The opportunities I have now have changed everything for me. I also have business ventures to pursue here. Basically, money convinced me to relocate.
“I am working on my fashion brands and shows. I also have a family brand and new businesses that would soon be unveiled.”
Niyi said he is not under any pressure to do anything he has never planned to do.
He said, “Living a certain way depends on the individual. Nothing has changed about my way of life. The only pressure has been to succeed and consolidate my opportunities, and that has always been the goal even before Big Brother. I’m insulated from any pressure.
“While growing up, my inability to find my correct sizes made me give up on stores. I even had a phobia for fitting clothes because I knew they would not fit.
“However, it also made me creative as regards my fashion choices.”
Niyi was the second housemate to leave the Big Brother House this last season.
