Boma Akpore, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has explained that the reality show has made him a household name in Nigeria and beyond.

Recall that Boma, who was a model and actor in the United States before his appearance on BBNaija, was evicted after he came under fire for allegedly having an amorous relationship with his female housemate, Tega, who was married.

Speaking in an interview with journalists at the just concluded AMAA award in Lagos State; Boma disclosed that BBNaija had brought him fame and opened doors.

“Participating in BBNaija gave me fame. You could be talented, and people wouldn’t still know your worth. But BBNaija made me a household name in the entertainment industry.
