Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Yusuf Muhammad-Awal says agriculture will remain a major part of his life after his time on the reality television show.
Speaking in an interview with TVC News Online on Tuesday, October 6, Yusuf said he plans to return to activities while also pursuing opportunities in acting, writing and public speaking.
The former housemate explained that farming is not a new venture for him, as he grew up in a farming family and went on to study agriculture.
“Because I was also a farmer, I’m still a farmer. So going back into that and exploring new things,” Yusuf said.
“I was born into a farm. I studied agric. I’m a student of agric.”
Yusuf disclosed that he has already established an integrated fish farm in Abuja, where fish production is combined with poultry farming.
“And I started a fish farm in Abuja. Integrated fish farming. So you have the fishes underneath. And then you have poultry underneath,” he said.
He also operates a farm in Kogi State, where he grows crops including cassava, yam and potatoes during the appropriate planting season.
“I also have a farm in Kogi State, where I grow tubers like cassava, yam, and potatoes during that season,” Yusuf said.
While the BBNaija platform has opened up fresh possibilities for him in entertainment, Yusuf said he intends to maintain a balance between his various interests.
“Before going into the house, I was an actor. So expect me to go and dominate the world of acting. Writing, public speaking, farming,” he said.
Reflecting on his experience in the reality show, Yusuf described his time in the house as “beautiful”.
He acknowledged that he had some confrontations with fellow housemates but said he would have approached certain conversations differently if given another opportunity.
According to Yusuf, some discussions he participated in did not fully capture the perspectives of everyone involved, something he said he would take into consideration going forward.
