Saga explained that although he is a trained engineer, his colleagues encouraged him to participate in the show after recognising his creativity and potential for the entertainment industry.
“I went to Big Brother Naija to launch my career as an entertainer. I am an engineer. My colleagues at work begged me to go for Big Brother Nigeria, they said I will do well,” Saga said in a recent interview.
He emphasised that the creativity and problem-solving skills developed through engineering have helped him excel as an actor.
“As an engineer, you have to have a powerful imagination, understanding, and skill. A lot of artists like Davinci ended up as engineers because it’s a parallel,” he noted.
Saga participated in Season 6 of Big Brother Naija and was evicted in the ninth week.
Following his departure, he launched a thriving acting career, appearing in over a dozen films since leaving the reality show.
