Maria Chike speaks on ‘spiritual challenges’ after exiting BBNaija

Maria Chike, a former contestant on BBNaija, discusses how she faced spiritual difficulties after taking part in the reality program.

The actress revealed that she went through a number of spiritual trials that drew her closer to God in an interview with The Cable.

She revealed that her faith was put to the test after leaving the Big Brother Naija house. She was raised in a Christian home.

“Since coming out of Big Brother, there have been a lot of spiritual struggles or challenges, and that just made me get closer to my faith and obviously to God,” she said.

She emphasized the importance of having a strong support network and a firm foundation in faith to get through the challenges of life.

Maria said it’s important to work at one’s own pace and disregard other people’s progress because doing so can lead to failure.

“Having God by your side is also amazing, and I always encourage people, no matter what they do, whether it’s good, bad, or evil in the eyes of other people, to always tell God first, and it helps you feel better,” she added.

The reality star emphasized the value of having friends who can provide guidance and aid in overcoming obstacles.

She acknowledged that she only has a small group of close friends, but she is thankful for their support, love, and guidance, which she supplements with prayer.
