‘Girls flock around me, but I am not promiscuous’

I have starred in two movies and the experience was awesome! I was the supporting actor in both…the first one called ‘Fear Not’-(name might be changed upon release), features Oge Okoye and Ini Edo. I play Oge Okoye’s love interest in the movie. The second one is called ‘Bursting Out’ and it  features Majid Michele(from Ghana) and Genevive Nnaji. Sadly I don’t play Genevive’s love interest. I play Majid’s best friend. Lucky bugger. He gets to kiss Genny in the movie. I’m so proud of these movies because they are not cheap productions..I could have done a dozen movies by now but I chose to concentrate on school and pick only movies of quality to interrupt my studies.

As for what I learnt in the house, I have come to realize that it is not everybody that likes you, and that everybody can’t be your enemy. I have also learnt  to control my temper, especially when everyone is watching! One should just try to always be oneself irrespective of what people’s comments are.

How has big brother changed your life?

I think this question doesn’t need an answer. It’s really giving me boost. I am recognised everywhere I go. It has launched my career in entertainment and has made me travel round Africa, it has earned me money and other favours. In fact, since Big Brother, I have had a new perspective of life.

Most times, those who are engaged in show business/reality shows lose their privacy. In what way have you lost yours?

Well, I haven’t really lost my privacy at all.

How would you compare Big Brother Revolution to the previous Big Brother Shows you were part of?

Obviously, the prize money is bigger and everybody who gets evicted leaves with nothing less than $2500. In my time, the prize money was smaller and it was winner-takes-all. All the evictees left with nothing.

Was Uti an aggressive and lazy guy as portrayed in the show?

Who says I was portrayed as aggressive and Lazy? I guess the whole outburst after Lucille’s eviction made people think I was aggressive, but I cleared that up already. I was only acting to spice up the show and get sympathy votes from Lucilles’ supporters! Don’t forget she was the first person I yelled at in the house. It is a bad strategy, I guess. As for being lazy, I am really strong and hard working in real life. If not, how do you explain my good grades and work all at the same time while in school? I mean I starred in two movies, hosted shows in Uganda and Angola, attended numerous shows in Nigeria, anchored events and still read and passed my examinations all in the same academic year and graduated at the top of my class with a second class upper grade eventually. Can a lazy man achieve that? In the house, I stayed off tasks because I felt my opinions were undermined. In other words, I was sulking. But a hard worker will always show himself. That’s why no matter how hard I stayed off tasks, I always got involved at the final day and carried along with the tasks.

Any regrets?

I do not regret anything all. Whatever that has happened has made me a better and wiser person today.

What have you done to your parents since you became famous and how has your fame affected them either positive or negative?.

My parents are too proud of me. They are convinced and proud that they have a  son like me. Other parents are envious of them.

There are so many girls that are flocking around you, which of them are you going to consider and how soon will that be?

Who told you babes are flocking around me? It is true that I have a lot of female admirers, I know how to handle females. I grew up with four girls and a brother. So I know how to handle females. This doesn’t get to my head. It rather humbles me. I try to make them happy when they come around me. I am not promiscuous. As for settling down, I had a girlfriend earlier this year, but by happenstance, we parted ways. So, only God knows when I will be ready for marriage.
