During their brief
participation in the 2012 edition of Big Brother competition, the duo of
Olamilekan Bakare and Chris Asekomeh, made quite an impression with
their witty nature, thereby heightening Nigeria’s hopes of winning the
whopping $300,000, (about N46.8m at official rate) prize money.
Although they had to
voluntarily leave the competition owing to Ola’s health challenge, after
developing high blood pressure in the house, they chorused that they
were confident they would have emerged winners
“We were obviously the
favourite among the housemates while in the house. In fact, we were
shocked when they said we were a very strong team. Just one week in the
house, they (other housemates) already accepted defeat. We would have
won Big Brother if we stayed longer because we had all it takes to win,”
they said.
On how they adjusted to
life in front of cameras, Chris says, “it was clumsy as first. When we
first got into the house, I noticed that when we talk deep, the camera
moves. I was like, ‘which kain thing be this’, luckily, I got used to it by the second day as I did not care any longer or think about the cameras in front of me.”
