After 63 days in the Big Brother house, Tayo Faniran, first runner and Nigerian housemate recently returned home and was welcomed with all the pomp befitting a hotshot. MultiChoice Nigeria threw him a homecoming party which took place at the popular CovaLounge, in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Speaking with the media shortly before his party, Tayo said he was shocked when Idris Sultan of Tanzania was declared the winner of the reality show.

"I was really shocked when IK declared Idris the winner. I genuinely thought I would win, or at least be declared a co-winner! Nonetheless I’m incredibly grateful for the unique opportunity and exposure Big Brother has given me."
