    Why It Is very difficult to stay committed to one woman – Seyi Awolowo

    Former Big Brother Naija housemate,  Seyi Awolowo has expressed that it requires a great deal of self-control to be committed to one woman.

    TheNewsGuru reports that the 34-year-old reality star shared this insight during a recent interview where he explained that the allure of women, particularly in Nigeria, makes it challenging for men to remain focused on just one partner.

    He compared the experience to being surrounded by different tasty meals, making it tempting to want more than one.

    He said, “Concentrating on one woman is difficult, especially with the amount of beauties that are out there. Nigerian women are beautiful. It’s difficult to concentrate on one woman, today you will see egusi, tomorrow efo riro, pizza and sandwich. It’s very difficult.  

    “But the ability to be loyal to one, I think it’s a gift from God. At the same time, for the individuals, it’s how you manage yourself, how you know how to be practical with yourself because some people tend to bite off more than the can chew in a lot of cases. If you can handle it [dating multiple women], handle it right but if you can’t, don’t.”

    BBNaija house is a different kind of prison with extreme conditions – Seyi Awolowo

    Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All-Stars housemate, Seyi Awolowo has described the reality show as a different kind of prison with extreme conditions.

    Awolowo spoke about his experience inside BBNaija house in a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa

    The reality star also spoke on his controversial comment about bankrolling his son to enable him to have sexual intercourse with pre-arranged girls.

    “I did not know when it came out of my mouth. I think I was in a rant at that point in time. The house had gotten to one side of my brain that I did not expect. You do not want to know (what it is like). It is a different kind of prison. You know when you agree to some extreme conditions, you tend to underestimate that sentence’s extreme conditions. And I think I was at my own breaking point at that point in time,” he said.

    “I was in a rant from point A to point B but anytime I ask for the clip. Like I said already I still do apologise. The factors that made me go into that mindset at that point in time are not being considered. The stressors are not being considered and I cannot blame anybody for not noticing it or not wanting to see it.

    “But then again, there were some things that put me in that frame of mind. And regrettably, it is not exactly nice neither is it healthy. It is rather negative and toxic. Being around a lot of negative energy, you tend to most likely mop it up.”
