    How my faith cost me a lucrative deal – BBNaija’s Cross

    Former Big Brother Naija housemate Cross Okonkwo has claimed he lost a job opportunity due to his loud Christian faith.

    The reality TV star, on X, claimed a person decided not to work with him because of his bold expressions of faith on social media.

    “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,” he wrote.

    Okonkwo vowed he will not compromise his beliefs for professional gain.

    He stated that true wealth comes from God and that fame does not control him.

    He also emphasised that he will never do wrong or chase money in a way that goes against his faith, even if it means having less.

    “I will NEVER do anything evil for money. Even if I become the poorest or the brokest human being on earth. I don’t care about fame. Yes I’m glad and blessed that I’m a famous person but that doesn’t change anything. All wealth belongs to my father. He alone has the secret to All things,” he wrote.

    Okonkwo further addressed critics who still see him as the same person from the Big Brother Naija house, stating that he has changed in spirit and character since leaving the show.

    “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 pls get that out of your head and have peace with it,”he added.

    He also asked not to be compared to other former housemates, wishing them well and emphasising that everyone has their own path.

    “And pls don’t ever compare me to any of my fellow big brother siblings. We all have different views to life. I love everyone of them. And I wish everyone the best,” he added.
