However, detailed information about her specific course of study and graduation is not consistently documented in the major profiles available, so it is best not to assume a particular qualification.

Before BBNaija, Faith built a career in broadcasting. Her experience communicating with audiences became one of her defining strengths when she entered reality television. She is also associated with fitness and event hosting, reflecting her interest in an active and public-facing lifestyle.

Her communication skills are complemented by several unusual talents. She says she is particularly good at imitating voices and making animal sounds, talents that add a playful side to her personality.

Personality and interests

Sheba describes herself as someone who wants to enjoy the moment and make the most of new experiences. Her hobbies include travelling, trying new ventures and hosting events. She is also known for her confident and outspoken manner.

She has acknowledged that her tendency to act like an “I too know” person can sometimes irritate others. Rather than hiding that side of her personality, she has presented it as part of her authentic character.

Big Brother Naija

Faith entered the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house in July 2026 under the name Sheba. Her reason for joining was straightforward: she believed there was much more about her that the public needed to see and felt it was her time to step into the spotlight.

One of her earliest major achievements on the show came in Week 2, when she won the Head of House challenge. She became the first female Head of House of Season 11, earning immunity from eviction and taking on leadership responsibilities within the house.

Her BBNaija journey consequently added another dimension to her public career, taking her from broadcasting into mainstream reality television and giving audiences a closer look at her personality.
