A star in the making: Who is Oyin from BBNaija?
Oyindamola Oshikoya, popularly known as Oyin, was born on 20 March 2004 in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. The proud Sagamu native (pronounced as "shah-gah-m") views her hometown as the inspiration in her quest to win Season 11 of Big Brother Naija.
During the show's launch day, Oyin paid tribute to her hometown in the introduction video, saying,
Growing up in Sagamu has made me who I am to be what you are seeing right now. Sagamu is a town that most people, when they hear 'Sagamu,' they believe is a town of violence. They never believe something great could come out of that particular town, and that is really not true. (It) also shaped me to be business-oriented because you can never live in Sagamu and not be business-oriented because everyone is selling something to one another.
She concluded, saying,
If I win, that win will actually mean a lot to me. It will prove to people that (a) Sagamu babe can come on a reality TV show to win. Not just to come to win.
