Idris selection as a winner of Big Brother Africa was a shocking scene to Tayo

Tayo still insists that selecting Tanzanian contestant, Idris as the winner of the 2014 Big Brother Africa edition was not right.

Speaking to Ebuka on ‘Rubbin’ Minds’ on Sunday, the Nigerian model said that he could not see any outstanding moment or performance of Idris in the highlights of the programme that he reviewed some days ago.

“When the announcement was made that Idris had won the money, I was shocked, it was like a dream I thought maybe IK was joking.” he said.

Explaining why he feels he deserved to win and not Idris, Tayo said, “You see, when you were in your classroom when you were at school, am sure you knew the best students in your class, you knew who would score like maybe 80/100 and you be like this guy deserves it, you know someone that would score 60 and you be like, eh you, how did you do it! I know you cannot even struggle to get 30.

“But then when it was announced that he was the winner, I was like, oh ok, I was shocked. There was no time that I cried or was down, nothing. But I respect destiny, when God makes something happen, you have no right to question it, what is happening right now, let’s take it as the best for me.

“Millions of people consider me their winner already, everywhere we go people rush out to me, so that is important to me. I feel like a winner, I don’t feel like I’ve lost anything but the person that got the money may be different.”

Asked how he thinks Idris would feel with his comments about his selection, he said: “I don’t know, am not supposed to care. It is not supposed to be my own problem how he feels. I have the right to my own opinion nobody can take that away from me if I feel like that. I congratulated him, I wish him all the best and I hope he uses the money wisely because money is variable factor; it comes and goes especially when you don’t know what to do with it and you use it wrongly. I don’t have anything against him, I have moved on with my life but unfortunately I cannot escape questions like this because these interviews are still going on. So I will still say the same thing the way I feel.”

He added that he is not in touch with Idris but among the 26 fellow housemates, he is in touch with Trezagah, Frankie, Esther, Lilian and M’am Bea.
