NEO MOBOR AKPOFURE
How has life been since leaving the Big Brother Naija house?
The experience after Big Brother has been a life altering one. I have been living my dreams ever since then, grateful for who I am now, for my new friends and finally doing what I love to do as work.
What has been the most challenging part of being a public figure for you?
I would say just not being able to do things I normally do but I have been forced to become more aware of myself and trying to not be seen, still remains really challenging.
What do you want to venture into career wise?
Currently I am doing a lot of fashion influencing, modeling, acting and hosting but personally, my team and I are working on several pet projects that I have always had. Most especially, my capsule fashion line, my transportation fleet management company and my own auction company. Finally putting the finishing touches into everything. I can’t wait for the world to see what we have put together.
Many think you are the most fashionable BBNaija 2020 star. Who is your fashion icon and why?
First of all, I would like to thank everyone that thinks that I am. Honestly, when it comes to fashion, I love dress up. Putting several pieces together and seeing the outcome gives me so much pleasure. I always say it’s not about the outfit but the person wearing it. If I am being honest, I draw inspiration from everyone and basically just interpret in my own way.
How would you describe your sense of style?
To me? fashion is a lifestyle, it’s how I live and how I do what I do. It says many things without having to say anything. As for my style, there is nothing I can’t wear because my style doesn’t box me in, instead it gives me more confidence to be as versatile as I want to be.
Do you think anti-gay laws should be repealed in Nigeria?
Yes, it should be repealed. I feel two consenting adults should not have to listen to any government on who they can love, or who they decide to spend the rest of their lives with. Love is love and that’s the only thing that can heal the world.
Mention two things that you and Vee share in common.
We are both understand the strength of our brand and the importance of creating our own individual careers and above all, we love to make money.
Heaven, two billion dollars or your mum, which would you pick?
Well heaven is real but I haven’t been, two billion dollars is great but it can’t buy me life. My mother is the person who gave me life the one person I can trade life itself for, plus we’ll both end up in heaven anyways. (Laughter)
How in your opinion, can we put an end to the increasing cases of rape in Nigeria?
Well to be quite honest, more emphasis should be laid on the legal implications for rape. Rape cases should be treated with more serious implications because the gravity of the stigma it leaves on the victim cannot be over emphasized.
What would you like to be remembered for?
I am all about making an impact and enriching the lives of people. If I could be remembered for making the life of even one person more suitable than it is, then that’s a win for me.
