Ben Olufemi, known as Ben, was recently kicked off the Big Brother Naija season 9 show. Ben shared why he moved from the United Kingdom (UK) to be part of the reality show.
Ben, who loves to throw parties, talked with reporters on Wednesday. He said he joined Big Brother Naija to help his party business grow.
Ben explained, “I’m not doing a regular job from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening. My friend Tjay told me we should team up for the show. If I was working a regular job or had a student visa, I couldn’t have joined the show.”
“I am a permanent resident in the UK, so my party job is only on weekends. I came to Big Brother to promote my party business 100%. I want people to know about me and my parties. When I tell people I throw parties, they come and have fun.”
“Now people even use the tagline ‘Action Ben, no party’ because they know I throw the best parties. But the hardest part for me was paying all my bills before coming here.”
