Oh! She got signed as a fashion ambassador for PayPorte and she has a budding music career. A star in the making? We\u2019re not too sure.<\/p>\n<p>As for Soma, Miyonse and CocoIce, Big Brother Naija was hardly a platform, except we\u2019re trying to mince words. The trio enjoyed a few media rounds then went under. But we\u2019re not surprised, it\u2019s the way with past Big Brother Africa\/Nigeria contestants.<\/p>\n<p>How could we forget Gifty?! She seems to have more prospects than the others and after an attempt at correcting her image in the public eye, she may just be on the path to Nollywood stardom. With that act she put up in the house and her alluring personality, we can bet she has way more going for her than all the other evicted housemates, except one. BASSEY.<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019ll go back to our excitement for this new star that will be Ebuka Obi-Uchendu in even less than 10 years if he\u2019s as smart.<\/p>\n<p>Ebuka Obi-Uchendu needs no introduction but for the sake of those who do not already know (because some people just never know these things), Ebuka is the Big Brother Nigeria contestant from the debut show in 2007. He didn\u2019t win at the time but has won over and over in the Nigerian media space in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>We agree that drawing parallels between Ebuka\u2019s already-made career and Bassey\u2019s career beginning today is preposterous. Yes we agree. But when we consider his undisputable oratory skills, his musical talent, his openness to learning new stuff and his team spirit, we are not afraid to hope that Bassey will soar from this Big Brother Naija platform.<\/p>\n<p><em>Receive The Latest <strong>Big Brother Naija 2017 \/ Big Brother Nigeria Season 2 News<\/strong> In Your Inbox By Subscribing To Our Email Updates.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Big Brother Naija 2017 housemate Bassey Asuquo Ekpenyong has all chances of becoming like BBNaija host Ebuka&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15,17,23,45],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/basseycouldbeebuka.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbrothernaija.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
