She therefore has a background that links her to both Delta and Lagos. Temi is 21 and hails from Delta State; her father, Mr Chigbue, was born in Ibusa, in Delta State, and her mother, Mrs Chigbue, is a Yoruba woman from Ebute Metta in Lagos State. Temi Nkem was brought up in the multi-cultural city of London and there it is that she developed into the courageous woman she has become.
The fact that she lived in one of the most diverse cities in the world meant that she came into contact with people from all sorts of backgrounds, a circumstance which almost certainly enabled her to learn how to read a room and move among others. She has always maintained a close connection with her Nigerian heritage. Her family inculcated in her the values and traditions of the people of the Delta State and enabled her to see the friendliness of British refinement and Nigerian resilience.
She often remembers her childhood as a period filled with discovery and the acquisition of knowledge, during which she was encouraged to place trust in her own decisions and beliefs. BBNaija Winner At the grand finale, which was hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Imisi was declared the winner and Aikuo came in as the first runner-up.
