Former Big Brother Naija Housemates, Uriel Oputa has revealed how her uncle, Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy inspired her in the pursuit of life in the entertainment sector. In a recent interview with Punch, Uriel said Charly Boy was a huge inspiration given what he had achieved with his entertainment career. She also hinted that her experience at the BBNaija House was worthwhile as she enjoyed every aspect of the show.


Excerpt of the interview reads;


Charly Boy
Charly Boy is my uncle and he inspired me in a very huge way. I was encouraged by what he had achieved with his entertainment career. However, I wouldn’t say that anybody really paved the way for me in the entertainment industry. I struggled for everything and where I am now. I made sacrifices like everybody else, and it took me about 10 years to get to this spot. Meanwhile, this is nowhere close to where I want to be. I believe I still have a long way to go.


Big Brother Naija

Big Brother was a very great experience for me. I enjoyed every aspect of the show and I am so happy that I was able to make new friends. It is a great platform; so, it has done a lot to boost my profile.
2018


For this year, I’m focusing on getting more endorsement deals and doing more TV jobs. My show, Make Me by Uriel, which runs on Instagram, will soon start to show on TV. A lot more things are coming this year. I feel very positive and excited about the possibilities ahead.

 

Challenges

A lot of people think that you are ready-made and had money waiting for you after the show. Sometimes, people don’t believe you when you say that you’re still climbing up the ladder and trying to make headw ay. Many people also say terrible things about you simply because you’re in the public eye. I am a free person and I say things as I see them. But I have discovered that that doesn’t go well with some people. However, I get messages everyday from people who tell me that I have touched their lives with the things that I do.

 

Personality

I am a very deep and happy person. I am also very smart and I don’t need anybody to validate that. I am a caring person with a very big heart. I’m also very observant. You cannot lie to me or cheat me. I know that some people would have tried to cheat me but nobody has ever succeeded in doing that. That’s because I ask questions and take precautions.


Scandal

There was a time some people criticised me, saying my boobs were drooping but I don’t want to say anything about that again. I’ve grown a thick skin so things like that don’t even faze me anymore. Whenever things like that occur, I always retaliate in a positive way, because I believe positivity always cancels out negativity. When somebody says something nasty to you and your reply to them is positive, they would be shocked. It makes them evaluate their action, and they understand that what they just did was uncalled for.


Relationship

I am single at the moment. When it comes to the things I love in a man, I don’t really have a particular taste. I just want a man that is not a liar. I want an honest man. I am not fixated on looks, because it fades away. I consider things like good character and intelligence more important.


Relaxation

I don’t really relax and I haven’t been able to unwind for a long time now. However, I also relax by spending time with my family. I am in the UK right now and I am having a very good time.

 

Fashion

I like to appear classy, trendy and urban. My hair is my favourite part of my body and wigs are my favourite fashion items.
