Why I couldn’t make it in Nollywood – BBNaija CeeC

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as CeeC, has opened up on why she could not sustain a career in Nollywood after rising to fame on the reality show in 2018.

CeeC became one of the most talked-about contestants during the 2018 edition of Big Brother Naija, with her fiery personality keeping fans glued to their screens and turning her into an overnight celebrity.

Following the show, she briefly ventured into acting and made her Nollywood debut in the television series Fake Liars, starring alongside veteran actor Nkem Owoh and actress Caroline Danjuma.

However, the reality TV star later stepped away from the movie industry, leaving many fans wondering why she disappeared from the Nollywood scene.

Speaking in a recent interview, CeeC said the sudden fame that comes with appearing on Big Brother Naija can sometimes become a disadvantage for contestants trying to build lasting careers in entertainment.

“One of the disadvantages of coming into fame through Big Brother is the fact that it’s quick. You’re nobody today, and then tomorrow you go on the show, and then you come out, and then they know you,” she said.

“You’ve not been able to build relationships you need to survive in the industry.”

According to her, the lack of strong industry connections made it difficult for her to navigate Nollywood despite the popularity she gained from the show.

Although she is no longer active in the movie industry, CeeC continues to maintain a strong presence on social media where she shares updates about her business ventures and personal life.
