Bisola Aiyeola, Big Brother (See Gobbe) runner-up has been speaking on her one year experience out of the house. According to the mother of one, it still surprises when she travels around and people come up to me to wish me well. Based on the popularity she got through the show.

The actress and singer, who is presently in Douala, Cameroon said she is full of gratitude to the organisers for the much she has been able to achieve in one year.

She said in a video on her Instagram wall: “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 the 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!”
