Reality star Erica Nlewedim has expressed disappointment with individuals who take advantage of her kindness.

In a post on X, the former Big Brother Naija star lamented that people she’s helped financially often continue to ask for more money with endless problems and excuses.

She specifically called out strangers who seem surprised that she answers their requests initially but then returns with more issues.

Erica appeared shocked by the sense of entitlement some individuals displayed after she’d already assisted them.

Nlewedim wrote: “Everyone I’ve given money out of the goodness of my heart has always found another excuse to ask for more and more, very disappointing especially the ones I don’t know who’re usually surprised I answered, they always have more problems that need more money!”

Actress and former BBNaija star Erica Nlewedim has fired back at critics who mocked her for struggling to speak her native Igbo language in a recently shared video.

The clip, which showed Erica attempting to communicate in Igbo, sparked a flurry of harsh reactions, particularly from fellow Igbos, some of whom ridiculed her fluency and used demeaning language.

In a response, Erica condemned the backlash, attributing it to what she described as “self-hatred” within the Igbo community.

“Look at my Igbo people in the comments showing how much they hate their own!” she wrote. “Continue, but please don’t complain when others don’t show you love. You can’t be so openly divided against your own people and expect trust from outsiders!”

She questioned the tendency to insult members of the same ethnic group over language struggles and called for greater compassion and solidarity.

“Is it your first instinct to insult someone who is (from your tribe) but can’t speak the language? And use words like pig, bitch, shame, etc? Of course not! We, on the other hand, need to learn love and unity,” she added.

Erica’s remarks have sparked wider conversations on social media about language, identity, and intra-ethnic support among Nigerians.

Former Big Brother Naija ‘Lockdown’ housemate Erica Nlewedim has claimed she sacrificed some vital things to further pursue her career.

Speaking with Punch, she said upon coming out of the show, she has focused on her career while neglecting some other areas of her life, like relationships and friends.

Erica said: “For the past three years, I sacrificed my personal and social life. Even some friends were upset with me that I was not hanging out with them, because I am always busy. I have had to sacrifice relationships as well.”

On how she handles negative social media comments, Erica said: “As a human being, I have my good and bad moments. Sometimes, I could be in such a good mood that even if someone insults me, I would let it slide. In the past, I used to single out scapegoats. But, I am tired of doing that, so I just ignore them now.”

In view of what her fans should expect, she said: “I have some businesses, including real estate. I have some short let apartments, as well as a skincare business, which I will expand into a spa. I also have some movies coming out; and one of them is titled, ‘The Devil is a Liar’.”

Erica Nlewedim, a former Lockdown housemate of the Big Brother Naija reality show, criticized a social media user, referring to him as ‘bitter’, in his opinion on the engagement of her colleague, Queen Mercy Atang.

The Nation reported on Thursday, February 29, that Queen Mercy had announced her engagement to her longtime partner, King David Man.

In response, a social media influencer named Shola criticized the reality star, accusing her of using her ex as a fallback plan after dating multiple men and having a child out of wedlock.

Shola highlighted how Queen had been in a relationship with her current fiancé since 2016 but chose to explore other options.

Describing himself as a relationship coach, Shola suggested that Queen’s behaviour mirrors that of many women who overlook genuinely good partners, only to return to them after unsuccessful ventures with others.

Reposting his tweet, Erica questioned Shola’s bitterness, noting his failure to offer congratulations on her engagement.

She noted how he was turning Queen’s good news into something negative.

She wrote: “How bitter can a person be to turn someone’s good news into something so negative? No single congratulations.”

She said: “Please leave me alone this year, I really have no interest in engaging with you people who don’t like me, leave my posts for people who do and focus on things you actually like, y’all were complaining about being broke I’m sure insulting me hasn’t fixed your problems, focus on that.

“All it takes to make haters become a$$ kissers is for me to announce I’m doing a giveaway, have some shame this year, if you don’t like me please don’t engage with me.

“All I need to do is post the same thing you troll and say I’m giving the people with the best compliments money, my page will be filled with compliments, cos y’all have no shame and y’all are beggars, I’m happy I was able to at least take your mind off complaining about your financial issues, mute me or block me if you don’t like me thanks.

“This is literally all I do while minding my business. For the past few years, I see my name on blogs only when I respond to the trolls and never the loads of positive things that I have achieved! I’m not interested in even being your celebrity anymore, allow me to live my life focused on my own business.

“100k for two people who can tell me they’re why they’re my trolls and how they’ve changed. I’m obviously going to pick based on proof of past trolling and an apology.”
