NAIJ recently spoke to Former Big Brother Nigeria contestant
Bisola Aiyeola and she spoke about life after the show, how she wants to
keep working to maintain her fame, her life before BBNaija and why she
could not attend university.
Looking back at Big Brother Naija…
I
wanted that platform. I wanted that wide reach. People send me messages
from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, etc. on a normal day, before I entered
the house, how many people would have known me? So yes, even though I
did not win, I feel like I achieved my aim. Even if I won that money, It
would still finish.
Why she did not attend university
I wrote Jamb and I was jammed. It’s not like I
did not try. I tried so many schools all over the country. It’s not that
I wasn’t passing the exams; it was a problem of not getting funds. I
did not have money to pay for certain things. I was even duped when I
tried to enter LASU. That pulled me back and all this just made me
discouraged. I also tried National Open University (NOUN) and you know
it is very easy to get into NOUN, and at certain times you needed to pay
certain fees. Believe me; it was difficult to raise N15, 000 at that
time. I just decided that all of my energy let me use it into using my
talent to feed myself.
Sometimes when there was no food to eat at
home, I take my daughter to my neighbor’s house under the pretext of
watching television and stylishly feed my daughter and myself. That’s
why I can relate to people because when you are down, you are down. But
one cannot just stay down. I would love to help people get out of this
type of situation.
Her plans for the future:
I have so many things lined up. Obviously I
want to do more movies and music too. I did get into the entertainment
industry via music but I put it on hold for a couple of years so I’m
going to revamp that access. I also want to make my own films in future
and I‘m an ambassador for the One Campaign Poverty is S3@.x:’ist so I
will be pursuing that as well.
