That Big Brother house is a major career booster.

Once you enter there, even if you get evicted after one week, your life is made if you use the chance well

Big Brother House

Big Brother: Aproko Doctor, why did you fight with Ejikem during the party?

Me: I couldn't stop myself after he drank the fifth bottle of beer, I worried for his liver so I stepped in to caution him, he told me that this wasn't Twitter, things got out of hand
