By Hamzat Ameenat, Lagos, Nigeria

“Faith is dead, but before he passed on, he wanted to tell you stories that meant the world to him.”

Those were the emotional opening words of Faith Adewale, the disqualified Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, as he broke his silence in a heartfelt video released on his YouTube channel on Friday.

The 25-year-old medical doctor, who was disqualified from the 10/10 edition of the reality TV show for physical assault, shared his struggles, regrets, and hopes in the four-minute video titled “Before Faith Passed On.”

Faith revealed that his journey to the Big Brother Naija house came with financial and emotional sacrifices.

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

He disclosed that he took a ₦5 million loan to secure his place in the competition.

“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, Faith admitted to losing control and making mistakes that led to his downfall.

“I wasn’t perfect. I screamed, I argued, I broke things. I failed tasks. I said things I shouldn’t have said. I lost friends,” he confessed.

Faith ended his message on a note of hope and renewed purpose, describing himself as a “dreamer, doctor, creator, and entertainer.”

“I feel invigorated. I feel energised. I’m so excited to take on the world. This is Faith Adewale — your latest reality TV star. I’m ready to make magic with you,” he concluded.
