How I Am Dealing With New Fame, BBNaija’s Maria Chike Opens

Former BBNaija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemate Maria Chike Benjamin has opened up on how she had to deal with the new fame that trailed her out out of the reality show.

Speaking in an interview with #Chude she opened up on the challenges she faced entering the house and how she was auditioned for the show.

She said:

“2020 was a very challenging year for me. I was like, ‘What am I going to do next’, and I didn’t know much about Big Brother. I had few friends prior to 2019, who were encouraging me to go, and I was like, ‘No’. Later, I made up my mind because I knew I had future goals I wanted to achieve, and I thought, ‘maybe this is the platform that I needed’. I didn’t even tell my family I was going for Big Brother because they wouldn’t have known my real intention for being on such a platform because of the negative impression associated with ladies on such platform. To them, it will be ‘why do you want to showcase yourself on a reality show in Nigeria. The reality show in the UK is always trashy with people fighting, swearing at each other and all of that,’ and that is the image they would have had in their head,”

Continuing, she added “When I entered the Big Brother Naija house, I didn’t know what was going to happen afterwards. I didn’t even know I was going to move back to Nigeria. Everything was just like forced upon me. When I did come out of the house, I was at a stage of my life where things were difficult mentally. Dealing with the new ‘so-called’ fame, everything was just too much,” Maria Chike said.
