Venita earned the nickname “Phoenix” during her time on Big Brother Naija Season 4: Pepper Dem, after Biggie gave her props for “always finding a way out no matter what difficult situation she found herself in”. Now, she’s back for BB Naija All-Stars with a bagful of AMVCA-nominations and plenty stories to tell.

Reflecting on her time in the house, the UK-born mother of two says coming into the show late sharpened her and helped her develop resilience.

“Although I joined Pepper Dem halfway, I received lot of support from the fans. I am here to update my people on all the good things that have been happening in my life. I am looking forward to the full experience this time around,” she says with a smile.

And for all those who are curious about Venita’s relationship status; she’s single.
