Season 5 of the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija started on a rather revealing note. There is the revelation of Laycon, the most trolled housemate so far and Nengi, a beautiful housemate and ex-beauty queen has joined the slow but steady growing list of housemates with one or two interesting twists to them.

Nengi’s popularity soared, initially not for the right reasons. First, there is the issue of age falsification and then the “Europe” issue which came up during a game with other housemates where she said Europe is not a continent. Gaffe or not, Nengi’s presence in the house came as noticeable after becoming the first season 5 edition housemate to win the Head of House (HoH).

Nengi was the first Head of House (HOH) of the Big Brother Naija season 5 “Lockdown” edition. She won the HOH and chose Wathoni as her deputy. Nengi was also the first housemate to reach 100,000 followers on Instagram.

She became the cynosure of all eyes and commanded a decent amount of followership as people perceived her as decent for not caving in to immoral exhibitions which seems to be a norm in the Big Brother House. Nengi bonded well with Laycon who won the show’s season five, particularly on Saturdays during the party.

As a former beauty queen, Nengi’s poise and class in the Big Brother House made her stand out and suddenly made her a strong contestant to the prize.
