Tjay (33) Medical Doctor

Not your regular kind of friendship … but these two are not just friends, but business partners too. They randomly met on Instagram in 2018 and neither of them knew that one comment would be the beginning of a lasting friendship.
Did we mention that Tjay is quite the polymath? He’s a fine artist and a fashion designer too. Well, Ben comes very close with his acting and club promoting talents.
Friendship rollercoaster:
High point: Meeting in the UK after years of online friendship.
Low point: Infrequent in-person meetings due to distance.
Personality playbook:
Quirks: Ben is flippant and absent-minded, Tjay is serious. They playfully tease each other about generational differences.
Pet peeves: Ben's flippancy and absent mindedness can irritate Tjay, while Tjay’s seriousness cam irritate Ben.
Big Brother aspirations:
Tjay: Be a positive role model for Nigerian youth.
Ben: Be himself and gain fans through his authenticity.
