BBNaija Star, Cross Reveals How He Lost A Juicy Deal Because Of His Faith

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Cross Okonkwo revealed that he lost a job opportunity due to being outspoken about his Christian faith.

The 34-year-old reality TV star said a person decided not to work with him due to the way he openly talks about Jesus Christ on social media.

He did not give details of the job or the company involved but made it clear that he will not hide his belief for any reason.

Cross explained that many people still see him as the same person from the Big Brother Naija house, but he believes he has changed in spirit and character since leaving the show.

He said he would never do wrong or chase money in a way that goes against his faith, even if it means having less.

He also stated that fame does not control him and that true wealth comes from God.

Cross added that he does not want to be compared to other former housemates, saying everyone has their own path, and he wishes them well.

He wrote on X: “You are mad and don’t want to work with me because I have made my faith in Jesus Christ very clear and bold. Lol 😂 one day I will buy your company and buy everything you own.

“Mark my words.I think a lot of people still think I’m the same guy that was in the big brother house 😭. It may be the same body, face. image but definitely not the same spirit and soul.

“So pls get that out of your head and have peace with it🥂❤️I will NEVER do anything evil for money. Even if I become the poorest or the brokest human being on earth.

 

“I don’t care about fame.

“Yes I’m glad and blessed that I’m a famous person but that doesn’t change anything. All wealth belongs to my father. He alone has the secret to All things.And pls don’t ever compare me to any of my fellow big brother siblings. We all have different views to life. I love everyone of them. And I wish everyone the best ❤️”

Cross became well known after his time in BBNaija Season 7 and has continued to share posts about his Christian journey with his followers since then.

Phyna Reveals Why She Won’t Advise Anyone To Go For BBNaija (Video)

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has disclosed that she no longer encourages anyone to audition for the popular reality TV show.

She shared that even though the show can bring quick fame, the attention given to housemates usually fades once they leave the house.

Phyna during a livestream on Twitch said that many fans simply move on to the next set of contestants each season, which makes it hard for ex-housemates to maintain the same level of attention they once had during the show.

She also shared that the value people once attached to being a BBNaija star is no longer the same as before, as public perception has changed over time.

According to her, many people believe that life after the show means instant success, but this is not always the case.

She explained that a lot of former housemates struggle quietly, even though social media may paint a different picture filled with luxury and comfort.

Phyna said that the real experience outside the house is often very different from the glam viewers see on screen.

For this reason, she said anyone planning to audition should fully understand the pressure that comes with fame and the tough reality that may follow after the season ends.

She said: “The steeze housemates do have on the show they don’t have it again, because it’s the same fan base that move from one to another, no new people, nothing new. It’s just the same people.

“And that aside, the show has lost credibility compared to the way it was before, because when you tell someone now that I came out of BBNaija, they won’t rate you like they do then.”

Nigerian Actress, Biodun Okeowo Slams Colleagues For ‘Wicked’ Lack Of Support (Video)

Popular Nigerian actress, Biodun Okeowo has voiced her disappointment and frustration over the limited support from her peers for her new film, “December Party.”

In a video posted on Instagram, Okeowo recalled promoting many movies she didn’t feature in and reaching out to producers to send their movies for promotion.

Okeowo questioned why she’s not receiving similar support for her own project, stating she’s only received backing from a few colleagues.

She described her fellow actors as “wicked” and emphasised that support should be intentional and rooted in collective growth.

She said: “I have posted a lot of movies that I didn’t even feature in. Even though I have not produced any movie since 2013, I have been supporting people to the extent that I went to the DMs of producers to send their movies to me to promote. I have now produced my own movie (DECEMBER PARTY), but no one is supporting me.

“What is my offence to you all? Am I that bad? Only a few of my colleagues, whom I can count, supported me. It is when bad things happen to people that you post. You are w!cked.

“Favour is selective and personal. What I am talking about is support, which is intentional, professional, and rooted in collective growth. We are useful to ourselves alive… then let’s support ourselves while we are still living”.

Okeowo further thanked those who supported her, appreciating their encouragement, shares, prayers, and love.

“To everyone I asked for support and who supported me, both within the industry and beyond it, thank you. Your encouragement, shares, prayers, and love carried this journey. I do not take any of it for granted”, she added.

Nigerian Comedian, Carter Efe Sparks Reactions After Claiming He Graduated With A “First Class Upper” (Video)

A trending video of Nigerian comedian Carter Efe has sparked laughter across social media.

In the video, Carter Efe jokingly claimed to have graduated with a “first class upper” in Biochemistry from Babcock University—a degree classification that doesn’t exist in Nigeria.

The clip, originally recorded in July and recently resurfaced by entertainment blogs, shows the comedian confidently making the claim while amusingly mispronouncing “Babcock,” a moment that quickly caught viewers’ attention.

Fans and social media users reacted with playful banter, poking fun at the exaggerated statement.

One commenter claiming to be a former student even questioned whether Carter Efe had attended the university at all, adding to the humor.

Many interpreted the clip as typical Carter Efe exaggeration rather than a serious claim. Known for his over-the-top comedic style and viral antics, the “Who Be That” star has built a reputation for blurring the line between fact and satire.
