BBNaija Star: Why I identify with Bayelsa, not Delta – Pere

Pere Egbi, a finalist from Big Brother Naija All Stars, recently shared insights into why he identifies with his mother’s home state, Bayelsa, rather than his father’s home state of Delta. He revealed that his decision is linked to the fact that his father has been absent from his life since he was just four years old.

During an interview with media personality Hero Daniels, Pere explained that he prefers to associate with Bayelsa because his mother hails from there, while his father’s absence has led him to distance himself from Delta.

Pere shared, “I like to say I’m from Bayelsa State because my mum is from Bayelsa. My dad, however, is from Delta State. My father has never been a part of my life at all. He left when I was about 4, and my younger sister was 3. He used to live in America before I was born. He came from America and married my mum, and then went back to America. A bunch of things happened, and my parents ended up separating. So, I was raised only practically by my mother.”
