Biography: All about BBNaija’s Maria
According to Maria’s BBNaija biography on the Big Brother website: Maria is a 29-year-old former air hostess turned realtor who enjoys cooking, exercising, hiking, acting, and dancing. Maria prides herself on being a loving and kind-hearted individual who is always looking for new adventures. Her travels have taken her around the world and to all continents, except Antarctica.
Having a go-getter attitude is one of her favourite character traits. Though she speaks of herself as “a symbol of love in human form”, people are often shocked by her stern side when they cross her or take her for granted.
Before her eviction in week 6, Maria was known for being one of the two wildcards (nobody guessed!) and for pulling off an epic eviction prank. But it was her on-again-off-again situationship with Pere that got tongues wagging. Whilst she admitted that she jumped from man to man to avoid issues with her boyfriend outside the house, parting ways with Pere led to a clash with Queen and some tearful regrets.
When Maria was voted out, everyone was surprised because her game was strong. Perhaps too strong.
