Media entrepreneur and host Chude Jideonwo sits with actor and former Big Brother Naija housemate Boma Akpore, who opens up about his extraordinary journey from public scrutiny to personal and professional rebirth. Four years after facing intense backlash and even being blacklisted in the industry, Boma shares how he found grace, held tightly to his talent, and rebuilt himself into one of Nollywood’s most confident and sought-after actors. “I paused my entire life to get into the Big Brother house,” he recalls, speaking about the sacrifices he made, including flying in for auditions, staying a month in a hotel, and buying brand-new outfits for the show.
In this intimate conversation, Boma talks about navigating the storm of accusations that came after his time on the reality show, and how he refused to let gossip, public opinion, or rejection define his future. He opens up about the tools that kept him grounded, confidence, faith, and an unshakeable belief in his craft, and shares how acceptance, both from the industry and from himself, helped reshape his path. He describes how he slowly reclaimed his place, embraced vulnerability, and rediscovered his purpose as an actor.
For the first time, Boma also reveals how he almost got married this year, believing he had found the ideal partner until her family rejected him because of his appearance on Big Brother Naija. This conversation is tender, painful, and deeply human. It marks another chapter in his story of growth. In this episode, Boma Akpore stands present, honest, and transformed.
