Big Brother Naija housemate, Faith Adewale was not a celebrity but a young Nigerian doctor questioning his purpose.
Frustrated with life and the state of the country, he returned home in December 2024, unaware that a single decision would completely alter his destiny.
According to Faith, his journey into the Big Brother world began almost by accident.
“One click on that link and everything changed,” he recalled, describing how he stumbled upon the Big Brother Naija audition form.
By March 2025, his mind was made up he would chase what he called “the biggest reality TV dream in Africa.”
However, his road to fame came at a cost. Faith revealed that he took a huge financial risk to prepare for the show.
“I did the unthinkable to get in there,” he admitted, disclosing that he borrowed ₦5 million to fund his dream. It was a bold gamble that would shape both his rise and fall.
Faith’s time on Big Brother Naija 10/10 Edition was anything but peaceful.
Known for his fiery temper and emotional reactions, he soon became one of the season’s most talked about contestants.
Eventually, he was disqualified for physical assault a turning point that he now describes as both painful and necessary.
“I wasn’t perfect. I made a lot of mistakes. I screamed, I argued, I broke things,” he confessed in a candid reflection.
He further revealed that during his time in the house, he had repeatedly asked for emotional support.
“I asked for a therapist over three times because I knew I needed help,” Faith said, shedding light on the mental pressure contestants often face.
Despite the controversies, Faith insists the experience helped him grow. “I learned to see myself clearly, not just as a player in a show, but as a man who needed healing,” he said.
Following his disqualification, many expected Faith to disappear from the public eye.
Instead, he re-emerged with a powerful message of self-discovery.
In a viral YouTube video, he began by declaring, “Faith is dead, but before he passed on, he wanted to tell you stories that meant the world to him.”
He thanked his fans for standing by him despite his flaws. “They didn’t see a perfect man. They saw Faith the little kid that had flaws, passion, and purpose,” he said with emotion.
He credited their support for giving him the strength to start over.
Now 25 years old, Faith says he’s ready for the next chapter of his life.
“I feel invigorated. I’m so excited to take on the world,” he declared with renewed confidence.
His message to his fans was clear and full of hope: “I’m ready to make magic with you. Let’s go make history.”
