Former #BBNaija 2017 contestant, Uriel Oputa is set to follow her passion with her soon-to-be launched wig business, to be called Uriel London Wigs. Uriel who is also one of the fashion ambassadors for PayPorte, sponsors of the Big Brother Naija reality show, made the announcement with a motivational pep talk while also showing off the space she got in a mall in Lekki Phase 1 which is still being renovated. In her post, she said, \u201cJust want to thank God. Last year I was really depressed and didn\u2019t know where to start from; dealing with my mum being sick, losing my hair because of stress, being an upcoming artist in Lagos for almost six years, chei, being homeless – so many things happened. But I took the chance with Big Brother Naija despite being told not to. I\u2019m not saying big brother is your answer, I\u2019m just saying don\u2019t limit yourself, go for what you want. Have patience be focused and always listen to your instincts even when the going gets tough. I\u2019m not really good at writing that\u2019s why I talk a lot. But today I was able to pay for a small place to sell my wigs. You guys know I love to make wigs. I am the proud owner of Uriel London wigs store. It\u2019s a small place in Lekki phase 1, but to me this is major.\u00a0 #bigbrothernaija2017 #wigs #hair #bbnaija2017. Chei now I need interior. Jesu Oguta help me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
