Becoming a housemate of the Big Brother Naija is a dream for many Nigerian youths, just as it was for Timmy Sinclair, popularly known as Trickytee, a contestant at the 2020 lockdown edition of the reality show.
35-years old Trickytee who hails from Bayelsa State was an upcoming actor, film director, content producer, but was barely in the limelight with little or no social media prominence prior to his stint at the BBN house.
However, his ambition to leverage the wide reach of the platform yielded desired result as he became one of the viewers favourite housemates.
Speaking about the show, he said: “I applied for the audition again this year because I knew that I am creative but do not have a platform to showcase myself. I know and feel everybody knows that the ‘Big Brother Naija platform’ is one avenue to showcase oneself and there will be a change in one’s life. And I can say that my life has changed in just ten weeks on that platform which can promote and push one out to the world.
“My favourite moments in the house started from the day I stepped into the House, I was excited that I was literally in the BBNaija house and I certainly cannot forget that day in my life.”
Trickytee also spoke his desire to tell stories about the Nigerian history using filmmaking. His words “Nollywood at the moment is doing a great job. Personally, I would like to tell more stories that have to do with our history; about our heroes who have done so much to get Nigeria where it is today. I know Lancelot has done a movie about Oba Ovonramwen and Kunle Afolayan has done a lot about histories too. Those are the kind of stories I am willing to tell.”
