Boma Akpore, a former participant on the BBNaija reality show, asserts that the program has elevated his public profile both within Nigeria and internationally. The ex-model and actor from the United States, who faced eviction amid accusations of a romantic involvement with married fellow contestant Tega, shared during an interview at the recently concluded AMAA awards in Lagos State that his participation in BBNaija has significantly increased his visibility and provided new opportunities for him.
“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.
“It made it easier for people to connect and know what I do for a living.”
