My Dad Made His Kids Feel Disconnected And Unloved – Seyi Awolowo

Ex BBNaija housemate, Seyi Awolowo has come out to open up about his challenging childhood experiences.

He recently had his say in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, his father actually disowned him multiple times due to the complexities of growing up in a polygamous family, and he even kept detailed files on each of his children which reduced their identities to mere names on a list.

Seyi added that his dad went as far as writing letters to cut off his children, leaving him and several of his siblings constantly feeling disconnected and unloved.

His words, “My dad disowned me a couple of times. Not just me, a couple of us, my dad married more than one wife. He married three wives. We all have files. As of right now, your name is just Seyi, full stop.”

WOW.

Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.

Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
