Former BBNaija housemate CeeC has opened up on why she could not sustain a career in Nollywood. This comes after rising to fame on the reality show in 2018, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, the lack of strong industry connections made it difficult for her to navigate Nollywood despite the popularity she gained from the show.
The reality star added that the sudden fame that comes with appearing on BBNaija can sometimes become a disadvantage for contestants trying to build lasting careers in entertainment.
Her words, “One of the disadvantages of coming into fame through Big Brother is the fact that it’s quick.
You’re nobody today, and then tomorrow you go on the show, and then you come out, and then they know you.
You’ve not been able to build relationships you need to survive in the industry.”
WOW.

Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.
Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
