That was before she became famous and caused chaos in the Big Brother house. Faith Adewale was a young doctor who was unhappy with life in Nigeria.

When he got back home in December 2024, he started to think about his future and mission. That anger would soon lead him to make a choice that would change his life.

Faith says that an unexpected journey for him started with a text message. He talked about how he found the Big Brother Naija audition form: "One click on that link and everything changed." He was set on going after the biggest reality TV dream in Africa by March 2025. In order to get into the house, Faith said he took a huge risk by borrowing N5 million to pay for his preparations. He said, "I did the unthinkable to get in there." He took a risk that would cost him a lot but also change his path. There are issues, regrets, and mental health problems that come with fame.
Faith had a very rough time in the Big Brother house. He was kicked off the show for physical attack during the "10/10" edition because of his short fuse and emotional outbursts. But beneath the drama was a young man who was struggling with being alone and stress. "I wasn't great." I did a lot of wrong things. "I yelled, fought, and broke things," he admitted. His repeated requests for therapy were revealed on the show. He said, "I asked for a therapist over three times because I knew I needed help."

Faith said that even though it was hard on him emotionally, the experience made him stronger. He was both humble and strong in his thought, as he admitted his mistakes and talked about what he had learnt from them.

Rising again: thanks, a fresh start, and a promise to fans
When Faith quit the show, it wasn't the end; it was the beginning of a new life. “Faith is dead,” he said at the beginning of his popular YouTube video. “But before he died, he wanted to tell you stories that were very important to him.” That line was the beginning of his new life.

He told his fans how grateful he was that they stuck with him despite his flaws. "What they saw wasn't a perfect man." "They saw Faith, the little kid with flaws, passion, and a purpose," he said, saying that their love helped him feel better about himself again.

The ex-housemate, who is now 25, says he's ready for a new start. "I feel better." Faith said, "I'm so ready to take on the world." "I'm ready to make magic with you," was his simple but powerful word to his fans. "Let's go make history."
