    Big Brother Naija All-Stars evicted housemate Uriel Oputa has revealed why she failed to use her mother’s dementia predicament as a strategy on the reality show.

    She said deploying that tactics would have been too predictable and would be seen as gathering pity votes and support to sustain her game on the show.  

    The fitness enthusiast recently stated this while appearing on an interview session on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds.

    Uriel said: “When I said initially that I have gone through a lot, I was actually talking of my mother. I spent ten years of my life being a carer. So, this is just a little icing on the cake.

    “Not bringing my mother full front in Big Brother House, was a decision I made before I went in because I just thought that it would just be too predictable. People would be like, ‘Oh! Why is she using her mother to get sympathy votes?’ And, I feel like there is so much about myself and I have so much talent whether it is cooking… I found out in the House that I have such stage presence whether it’s theatre, I’m able to project myself in a good manner.

    “So, there is so much more to Uriel than just her mother. And I wanted to show that I’m a cook. I’m also into fitness. I can sing. I’m well-rounded. And that was a decision I made not to bring my mother into the equation; they  have known that side of me. They’ve known about it for six years. This is a fresh start so let me show you things you might not know of me.”
