ICYMI: I took N5m loan, did the unthinkable to get into BBNaija – Faith




Disqualified Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Faith Adewale, has spoken publicly for the first time since his exit from the reality TV show in October.

In a monologue video uploaded on his YouTube channel on Friday, the 25-year-old reality TV star reflected on his journey, struggles, and lessons learned from his time in the Big Brother house.

Faith, who was disqualified for physical assault during the “10/10” edition of the show, opened the nearly four-minute video with a dramatic tone, saying, “Faith is dead, but before he passed on, he wanted to tell you stories that meant the world to him. So listen carefully.”

He narrated how a single text message changed the course of his life earlier in the year.

“On March 5th, 2025, I got a text message that flipped my world upside down. One click on that link and everything changed,” he said.

According to him, his journey into the Big Brother house began unexpectedly,”On December 24th, I came back to Nigeria and I was pissed off. I was like, what am I going to do as a doctor in this country?

“But somehow, clicking that link made me end up auditioning for Africa’s biggest reality TV show,” he recounted.

Faith revealed that he went to great lengths to secure his place on the show.

“I did the unthinkable to get in there. I took a loan of five million naira, and somehow, I made it,” he said.

Reflecting on his time in the house, the former housemate admitted to moments of weakness and growth.

“I wasn’t perfect. I made a lot of mistakes. I screamed, I argued, I broke things. I failed tasks. I said things I shouldn’t have said. I lost friends,” he stated.

He also revealed he had sought mental health support during his stay.

“I was overwhelmed. I was isolated. And to be honest, I asked for a therapist over three times because I knew I needed help,” he said.

Despite his challenges, Faith expressed gratitude for his supporters.

“Outside those walls, a whole continent was standing for me. People I’d never met were shouting my name, fighting for me, spending hard-earned money to keep me in that house.

“They didn’t see a perfect man. They saw Faith — the little kid that had flaws, passion, and purpose,” Faith said.

Speaking about his future, Faith said he feels renewed and ready to move forward.

“I feel invigorated. I feel energised. I’m so excited to take on the world. There’s so much I can do, so much I can change,” he said.

He ended the video with an emotional message to his fans,”This is my call to the world, to Africa, to Nigeria.

“This is Faith Adewale, the dreamer, the doctor, the creator, the entertainer, your latest reality TV star.

“I’m ready to make magic with you. Let’s go f**k shit up,” Faith concluded. (PUNCH)
