Nigerian housemate in Big Brother

A Nigerian Housemate has been revealed for the Big Brother Africa show scheduled to kick off on Octo­ber 5. She is Lilian aka Sexy Lily. Lillian is a model, actor, presenter, and tax collec­tor! She entered Big Brother

Hotshots for “the platform it provides and the public­ity that comes with it, and of course the winning prize – the money”.

Lillian disclosed that she’s not willing to sell herself short to win the grand prize. If she does win, she’ll invest in her talk show, which is about “help­ing upcoming talents” and get herself a house.
Lilian’s favourite foods are rice and plantain. She likes watching Baggage on TV and listening to Tuface

Idibia. She doesn’t have a favourite book, but likes movies like Think Like A Man, Blended, Friends With Benefits, Bridesmaids, and Twelve Years A Slave. Her favourite actor is Angelina Jo­lie, because “she’s creative and can switch roles easily”.

According to Lilian, her fa­vourite place in Nigeria is Lagos and the best thing about Africa is its cultural diversity. Outside her home country, she’d like to visit California for the opportunities she believes it would provide her to improve her career.

Lilian’s role model is Oprah Winfrey, because of her strength, and the person who has most influenced her life is her mother, “because she has always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams”.

The Housemate describes herself as “spontaneous, easy-going, focused and confident”, saying her best assets are that she’s ambitious, a good listener, flexible, persuasive, competi­tive, independent and original.

Speaking on the reality show, M-Net Africa Regional Director (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, says the view­ers are in for almost as many surprises as the housemates. “We work hard to make each season of Big Brother Africa bigger than the last – and we’ve really upped the ante this year,” she says. “Big Brother

Hotshots is going to bring viewers excit­ing innovations, heart-stopping twists and uniquely African glamour, 24/7 for the duration of their stay in the house. Both fans and housemates are in for some unmissable television experience!”
