He is one of the most popular male housemates ever to grace reality show, Big Brother Naija (BBN).
It is therefore not surprising that Imo born, sport administrator and brand ambassador, Ozoemena Chukwu described fans he attracted from BBN Lockdown season, as his biggest cheerleaders, saying: “I would say my family, friends, and the fan base I got from being on the BBN platform. They have helped me a lot in the sense that, regardless of the negativity that anyone brings up, whenever I remember my family, friends, and fan base, that is enough for me to get myself in a positive space”.
Ozo further said in an interview with Punch newspaper that, going on the BBN platform remains a blessing, especially as it showcased his deep knowledge of sports.
He said: “The biggest blessing I have was the year I was on the show. There was a betting company that was one of the major sponsors (of the show then). Every Friday, there were sports trivia games, and that gave me a great opportunity to show I had so much knowledge and interest in sports. There were questions ranging from football, basketball, tennis, golf, Formula One, boxing, and Ultimate Fighting Championship. My fellow housemates then used to clamour for me to be on their teams. That was big for me”.
Asked how he copes with female fans, he said:
“I think this is a tricky question (smiles). I could liken this to when people talk about fame or life in general, when they say, ‘Never let things get in your head’.
“It is not something I lay so much emphasis on when it comes to my life. I have always wanted to show a positive example to people who want to be like me. When it comes to that part of my life, I don’t put so much emphasis on it”.
He is very handsome
