Big Brother Naija former housemate, Maria Benjamin has made a revelation about herself.

She said: “My dad died in 2013, he was like my best friend; I was very close to him. He literally dragged me and said, ‘you aren’t going anywhere’.”

“So, when he passed away, I was like, ‘what am I going to do with life?’ I didn’t accept it until months after he was buried, I was in denial. I fell into depression.”

“When I finally got out of it, I told myself that my dad would have wanted me to be a great woman, so I had to do something.”
