GOLDIE Age: 28
Goldie is a musician and singer from Lagos, Nigeria who is hoping to use her innate generosity, humility, culinary abilities, style and kind heart to win Big Brother StarGame. Promising that viewers can expect “never a dull moment”, she hopes to use the game as a learning experience and a personal challenge.
When she’s not performing, Goldie loves reading books, watching Manchester United, playing console games and Scrabble – as well as sewing, knitting, drawing and designing. She likes Mills & Boon novels and supernatural romance books and likes watching E! Entertainment, Sky News and the Crime & Investigation channel. Asked about her favourite musicians, she says “myself, thank you very much!” before including Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Adele, 2Face, D’Banj and PSquare.
OLA Age: 29
Lagos resident and interior designer Ola Bakare is an impressive 6’9” tall. A University graduate with a degree in Mass Communication, he enjoys Sidney Sheldon novels, TV shows like Tinsel, Border Security and Ultimate Survival and music by 2Face, Wizkid, and PSquare. His favourite movies include Ray, Safe House, Grease, and The Sound of Music and his favourite actor is Jamie Foxx.
Ola’s favourite place in Nigeria is Lagos because it is a fast-growing city. His favourite thing about Africa is that the land has been blessed a great deal, while he also enjoys the people and culture. He loves the ocean, so his favourite place outside of Nigeria is Cyprus. He lists his mother as his role model, because she is supportive, prayerful and patient. He says his Dad influenced his life the most because “he always worked hard for me and wants the best for me – he loves me unconditionally”.
CHRIS Age: 25
Fashion designer Chris is single and has a degree in Human Kinetics. He entered Big Brother StarGame because he thinks the House is fun – and he’s a fun-loving person. He hopes to bring his own style to the game and make a great impression. He’s looking forward to partnering with fellow Nigerian Ola because “he is one of the funniest individuals I have come across and I think we share the same sense of humour. He’s a crazy guy, trust me!”
He has his eyes on the grand prize, but says he isn’t willing to do anything against his religion or beliefs to win the game. He’s not worried about having millions of viewers watching his every move because he believes the game is about viewership and “people must watch”. He didn’t follow last season’s show, but his all-time favourite housemate is Richard, because “he was real”.
