Essential Ndubuisi
Tayo Faniran, a runner-up in the 9th season of the Big Brother Africa reality show, has returned to the screen after a nine-year hiatus. He plays the character ‘Ninolowo’ in the crime drama Gangs of Lagos, which captures the reality of Isale Eko in Lagos Island. The show also features notable cast members such as Pasuma, Zlatan, Tobi Bakare, Iyabo Ojo, Yhemo Lee, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Bimbo Ademoye, and Chike.
Faniran, who is also a model, expressed his excitement at getting a second chance at fame, having thought he had vanished from the scene after leaving Nigeria in his prime. He shared his expectations of the perks of being a star, but unfortunately, he misjudged things.
Fortunately, Faniran received an offer to play a role in Gangs of Lagos from Jade Osiberu, giving him a chance to return to the screen and reignite his acting career.
