BBNaija Bambam Speaks On Growing Up With Strict Parents: ‘My Dad Thought I Would Become A Vagabond’
Reality star, Bamike Adenibuyan popularly known as Bambam has given an insight into her life growing up with strict parents.
The Big Brother Naija’s former housemate, in a chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the married mother of two stated that her father was a Deeper Life member and he thought she would end up a ‘Vagabond’ because of her personality, hence, why he was very strict with her.
Bambam added that the moment she graduated from University, her dad told her, he didn’t want her to get fat on his couch and as such, should learn to survive on her own and not be a liability.
After her NYSC, she said she left the house and was searching for a platform to showcase her talent, hence why she went into Big Brother’s house.
She said:
“My parents were very strict, my dad said the moment I graduated, he didn’t want me to get fat on his couch. He said I was on my own and was worried about how I would survive.
He didn’t want me to be a liability, so I made it easy for him. After NYSC, I didn’t go back home, I stayed at home. I had such a good upbringing, a Deeper Life dad, and a nurse as a mother. My dad was worried that I would become a Vagabond.
I needed a platform to be able to showcase my skills, that’s how I landed up on Big Brother.”

In addition, Chude wrote on his Instagram page:
“This was such a beautiful conversation.
Bam Bam tells me the sweet tale of how she survived the sex scandal of the #BBNaija house to end up married to the same man, and how they have ridden through the difficulties and setbacks of marriage – including the emotional toll of being pregnant, adding weight she couldn’t believe and for the first time she shares her battles with pre eclampsia.
What kept her through all of these? A husband whose ‘spec never changed’.
She says she has always felt like she had to prove herself to haters and those who have always wanted her to fail – and she thinks it comes from being driven away from home by her Deeper Life father as a teenager.
He thought she would become ‘a vagabond’ if he didn’t raise her with a tough hand.
This interview will warm your heart.”
