How my love for Jesus made me lose a juicy deal – Cross

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Cross Okonkwo has disclosed that he lost a business opportunity due to his outspoken Christian faith on social media.

The 34-year-old reality TV star revealed that a potential partner declined to work with him because of how openly he professes his belief in Jesus Christ online. Although Cross did not disclose the identity of the individual or company involved, he made it clear that he has no regrets and would never compromise his faith for money.

According to Cross, many people still see him as the same personality from the Big Brother Naija house, but he insists that he has undergone a spiritual transformation since leaving the reality show.

He stressed that he would never engage in wrongdoing or chase wealth in a manner that goes against his beliefs, even if it means living with less.

“I will NEVER do anything evil for money. Even if I become the poorest or the brokest human being on earth,” he stated.

The former reality star also said that fame does not control his life, adding that true wealth comes from God alone. He further urged the public not to compare him with other former housemates, noting that everyone has a unique path and perspective on life.

Cross made the disclosure in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), where he wrote:

“You are mad and don’t want to work with me because I have made my faith in Jesus Christ very clear and bold. Lol 😂 one day I will buy your company and buy everything you own.

Mark my words. I think a lot of people still think I’m the same guy that was in the Big Brother house. It may be the same body, face, image, but definitely not the same spirit and soul.

So please get that out of your head and have peace with it. I will never do anything evil for money. I don’t care about fame. All wealth belongs to my Father.”
