Efe Ejeba who is surely enjoying his new status as a celebrity became a young millionaire after emerging winner of the show.

Below is an excerpt from his first ever press conference, in Lagos, where he was presented with the keys to his SUV and N25 million cheque. In this interview with Entertainment reporters, the Warri, Delta State-born rapper shared his experience in the BBNaija house, his ordeals as well as his plans to stay on top of his game.

How do you feel being the winner of the BBNaija reality TV show?

I feel great, I feel honored. I’m grateful to God. I didn’t do it alone. I am full of gratitude to everyone who voted for me and supported me throughout my stay in the Big Brother Naija competition. I was simply living my normal life and having fun in the house. But I didn’t know I was having this much love outside. I was just being myself and living my life in the house.

What did you do differently that gave you an edge over other housemates?

I didn’t do anything differently. All the housemates came into the house with a winning mentality. I was just myself while some came with strategies, which we got to find out later. I feel I represented the average Nigerian youth in the house. I went into the house to live like a normal Nigerian child.

How did it feel like to be locked up in a particular place for 78 days?

It was crazy but I was not worried because I was there for the money. I said if it was 90 days I didn’t care because I was out to win. They say we wouldn’t use our phones and I told them that they could even keep my phone for two years. I was never tired of staying in the BBNaija house.

How would you describe your experience in the house?

It’s funny that in a place where we expect a lot of immorality, I became more disciplined. I didn’t think I would ordinarily have fitted into the Big Brother House because I am not posh but I was proved wrong. When I got into the house I realized that I was a bit different from other housemates.
