The name, Dillish Mathews, from Namibia has become a household name as she has been making waves since she was announced the winner of the Big Brother Africa reality show in 2013.
News have been going round of her purported affair with some Nigerian politicians precisely the governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole. She had finally decided to speak from the horses’ mouth and clear people’s doubts as she recently reacted to the news.
She said,” Well, yes, I like his works, nothing else. He is now like a father to me. He had no idea who I was then when he hosted me and he has also hosted so many other pageants in Edo State, which was part of what attracted him to me. Oh, I love Nigeria. I just finished my first Nollywood movie and hoping to do more jobs here
in your country. It has been fun and cool working here in Nollywood. I love the warm reception here.”
After she won the BBA reality show in 2013, Oshiomhole hosted her alongside with some other girls.
Matthews admitted that life had been been quite better since she walked her way to stardom through the BBA reality show.
She said: “I get lots of free stuff and more smiles from people. Sincerely, the love and support has been overwhelming and I hope and pray it continues to grow. It has opened a lot of doors for me and people are more willing to do business with me now and that’s important to me. You cannot quantify the gains of winning such a continental reality show.
“I can’t really go to certain places anymore. Don’t forget that stardom has its own challenges too. The important thing is for one to adapt and make appropriate changes in line with your new status.”
