He is well known for his ability to sing fluently in Igbo. His family is originally from Umunze in Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, Nigeria. The resident pastor at his church introduced him to a friend, Chris I Ordor, the CEO of SoundCity Communications.

Mr. Ordor had just started a music company aimed at training young musicians on the basics of music and nurturing them all the way to professional level. In 1996, he was invited to join the company on an education scholarship to study music. After three years of playing the drums, Flavour started playing professionally.

She said her best quality is the fact that she’s “very real and straightforward”. She values caring and considerate people and dislikes those who are selfish and lazy.

She entered Big Brother because she’s been a fan of the show for some time and promised herself that she would enter as soon as she was old enough. Dillish said it’s a bit scary to know that Africa will be watching her 24/7, but said she’s excited to share her private life and lifestyle with the continent.
She said the best thing about Africa is the diverse cultures and “our unity”. Her favourite place in Namibia is Swakopmund adding that even though she hasn’t travelled much, a trip to Nigeria last year was “the best ever”. Her grandfather is her role model. “He raised my mom and five of his grandchildren – including myself. He is my hero,”.
