Ongoing at the moment, is the current edition of
Big Brother Nigeria also titled BBNLOCKDOWN2020.
Lockdown as we know is also an aspect of the new normal, helping to stop the spread
of Covid-19. A good entertainment programme is just what is needed to get the
nation engaged while at home trying to stay safe. And Big Brother Nigeria is doing just that. The buzz from opposing
factions and supporters of different housemates have been keeping social media
agog.
In the house this year are two house mates not
just from the same region, but from the same state. Bayelsa state to be
precise. This is a region/state that have been plagued with negative narratives
that the people are saboteurs against each other, lack of love, unity or
cooperation is their stock in trade. Watching Timmy and Nengi, there seems to
be hope for the future that the narrative will change.
Trikytee and Nengi instead of going against each other have looked as
though they have come to embrace their common heritage. There seem to be an
unspoken respect and understanding which is desperately needed in the state and
the region.
So who are these trailblazers and pathfinders?
Meet Tarimotimi Sinclair popularly called Timmy
or Trikytee. He is a creative from Odi in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government
Area in Bayelsa state. He was born in Lagos, but attended the University of
Port Harcourt where he studied Theater
Arts.
Trikytee is a storyteller, he uses films and
music as his medium of expression. He is also a comedian and loves wearing a
bandana. He is a firm believer that hard work pays, and is also called the hustle 101 General. If you do not put in
the hustle and the muscle you no go chop.
It brings to mind the Nigerian saying, no
food for lazy man.
One of his achievements as a youth corper was
winning the overall best Director for stage drama at the NYSC cultural and
sports festival in Abuja 2013. His God given talent and skills have come to
play in the Big Brother house, going by how many tasks won, using his know how.
He has picked up a new healthy lifestyle of doing pushups and intends to keep
it that way.
Trikytee believes that nobody is promised
tomorrow, so live life to the fullest while you can.
Rebecca Nengi Hampson is a graduate of
Linguistics and Communications studies also from the University of Port
Harcourt . She is from Nembe/Brass Local Government Area in Bayelsa state. An
ex beauty Queen with two crowns under her belt. The term beauty and brains comes to mind. And truly so because Nengi is also
an astute businesswoman who owns the shoe brand called Shoesbyflora.
Nengi was Queen of Trust 2013, and Miss Bayelsa
2014. She also made it to the top 5 in the prestigious Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria
MBGN beauty pageant 2017. Nengi loves God and humanity which is why lives by
the saying, Be the best version of
yourself and love humanity.
In the Big Brother house she was the first Head
of House. It was a peaceful reign. She has carries herself quite well,
befitting of a beauty Queen.
Big Brother Nigeria is a competition where only
one winner emerges. However, in the long run, life after the competition
continues. As a state and a region, these young representatives should be a
beacon of hope to the Bayelsa people, and people of the Niger Delta that
working together only works for the greater good. It enriches and develops the
area which is beneficial in the end.
Wishing Nengi and Trikytee every success in the BBN house and life after the competition.
