Nigerian actress and first runner-up Big Brother Naija 2017, Bisola Aiyeola, says her life has been on a wonderful roller coaster ride since her participation in the popular reality television show.

The multi-talented Bisola said she went into the “See Gobe” house to reach many people and showcase her talent but has achieved that and more.

In what can be described as a reflective post on Instagram, Bisola said her participation in the show has contributed to her successful growth in the entertainment industry.

She said the exposure allowed her a greater opportunity to select choice projects.

The ONE.ORG ambassador said the opportunity also made her lend her voice to the plight of young girls and most importantly, become closer to her fans.

She wrote,

“Today is a birthday of sorts for me. One year ago, I left the Big Brother House as runner-up and set upon a path that has been beyond my wildest dreams. People always ask me about my time in the house, but truth is none of us imagined the hype surrounding everything we were doing and how our lives were going to change.

“It still takes me by surprise when I travel around The world and people come up to me to wish me well and sometimes even quote things I said from a year ago.

“I went into the house with just one purpose which was to reach as many people and showcase my talent.
When I think of the things that my Big Brother experience has allowed me to do in the past 12 months, it is difficult to do so without overwhelming gratitude.

“It has connected me to my beautiful family, @thetemplecompany. It has allowed me greater selection in the kind of projects I do. It has given me the opportunity to add my voice to the plight of our young girls who have the smallest voices in our country.

“Most importantly, it has allowed me to be closer to all of you. I thank @multichoice_africa, @payporte and @dstvnigeria for the life-changing opportunity. I thank My mother, my sister @Adunola.a, My daughter Leyla for their constant support.

“I thank you @biodunstephen And @thetemplecompany for always having my back. I thank each and every one of you for continuing to tolerate my craziness and allowing me to be myself. Trust me when I say you ain’t seen nothing yet! I love you all.”

Aiyeola finally got into the Big Brother house in 2017 after auditioning for the show for nine consecutive years. She came second after popular winner, Efe Ejeba.

As part of her ambassadorial duties, she attended the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly in New York to push for girls’ rights.
