“13M a year with taxes and cost of living isn’t enough” – Leo Dasilva says as he defends Khafi

Leo Dasilva has weighed in on the conversation on social media surrounding Big Brother Naija’s Khafi, sex on TV and her job. The Big Brother Naija housemate in the 2018 edition of the show defended her against those bashing her for putting her job on the line by becoming a Big Brother Naija Housemate.

The 29-year-old MET Police officer who was once a ‘poster girl’ for the promotion of female and black staff for the security outfit, earns about £30,000 (N13m) a year. She made headlines today with reports of her being investigated for leaving her job without getting permission from her bosses and having sex on the reality show.

However reacting to the backlash Khafi got after the report went viral, Leo Dasilva revealed that N13m a year is not big money in the UK. According to the former Big Brother Naija housemate, N13m a year with taxes and cost of living in the UK is not usually enough.

He tweeted;

Big brother is a platform.Only looking at it as a cash prize thing, you’re not seeing the bigger picture. She can do a lot of things that will earn her the cash prize over time and continue earning her the cash prize.13m a year with taxes and cost of living isn’t enough.
