Oyin BBNaija: The Entrepreneur with a Strategy
Oyindamola Oshikoya, known as Oyin, is a 22-year-old sales entrepreneur from Sagamu, Ogun State, competing in Big Brother Naija Season 11.

Oyin entered the house as the fourteenth housemate, declaring she brings “50 shades of strategy” covering fashion, creativity, and drama.
Background and Upbringing
Oyin hails from a polygamous family of 12 children, being the ninth child. She credits her father for her upbringing, proudly calling herself a “daddy’s girl.” In her launch night introduction, she said, “I am most proud to be my father’s daughter. I am somebody that was raised by a man right from a baby, and I am proud to be called my father’s daughter.” She attended Remo Secondary School in Sagamu and later studied Biochemistry at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye.
Professional Life and Business
Oyin runs her own businesses: Diamond By Honey and Jewel by Honey, selling precious stones like gold and diamonds. She also works part-time as a fashion model. Her entrepreneurial spirit was shaped by her hometown, as she noted, “You can never live in Sagamu and not be business-oriented because everyone is selling something to one another.”

Quote from Oyin
In her introduction video, Oyin paid tribute to her hometown: “Growing up in Sagamu has made me who I am to be what you are seeing right now. Sagamu is a town that most people, when they hear ‘Sagamu,’ they believe is a town of violence. They never believe something great could come out of that particular town, and that is really not true. (It) also shaped me to be business-oriented. If I win, that win will actually mean a lot to me. It will prove to people that a Sagamu babe can come on a reality TV show to win. Not just to come to win.”
