 Neo Akpofure, a former Big Brother Naija contestant and actor, has stated that coming from a family of 30 children motivates him to be unique and not to be like anyone else.

"This (acting) is my dream," Neo, who was studying Law at the time he took part in BBN, told Sunday Scoop. I'm doing what I enjoy and getting paid to do it. I was studying Philosophy at the time when I took another Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, and I eventually got into Law school. I actually did both for a while. I later graduated from Philosophy and was in my third year of law school when COVID-19 arrived. I went for BBN as well, and my life has changed, so I doubt I will return. I also went for BBN and my life changed, so I am not sure I will be going back to study Law. As a matter of fact, I never really want to study Law anyway.

“I have more than 10 siblings who are lawyers. I’m not trying to follow in anybody’s shadow. Rather, I am trying to create one for myself. Coming from a family with over 30 siblings made me not to want to be like anybody else. I am just happy that I was able to find myself at the point that I did and so far, I’m not like any of my siblings, and nobody is like me. If not for my father, siblings and other family members, I won’t have studied Law.”

Neo, who recently acted in his first feature movie titled, Palava, alongside actress, Jemima Osunde, noted that he fell in love with her while on set. He said, “I fell in love with Jemima for this movie; I had to. I felt like she was the one person that would bring out my character the right way. I played a supporting character to hers. One of the best scenes in the movie was when I was talking to my girlfriend in a car and I went off script, and said some nice things.”
