reports that Rosman made the disclosure during a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where she also spoke about the emotional trauma she experienced following her father’s passing.

She explained that she lost her father at the age of 16, a tragedy that deeply affected her mental and emotional health, to the point where she once struggled with suicidal thoughts.

The actress added that the negative comments she received from some people during that period worsened her pain, as many wrote her off and believed she would amount to nothing.

According to her, she eventually channelled the grief and financial hardship that followed into motivation, using it as a driving force to push herself toward success.

She said: “After I lost my dad at 16, many people said to me that I would end up becoming a prostitute and get pregnant out of wedlock.”

Rosman also reflected on how grief nearly broke her, noting that losing a parent at a young age can be extremely overwhelming, but her difficult upbringing eventually shaped her ambition and resilience.

In a separate conversation, the actress also addressed misconceptions about Nollywood stars, saying many people wrongly assume that actors are wealthy simply because of their public image.

She explained that while some actors appear financially successful, many still struggle behind the scenes, as acting alone does not guarantee financial stability.

According to her, only a small number of entertainers enjoy consistent wealth, often because they have additional sources of income beyond acting.

The selection process will be conducted physically in selected cities across Nigeria.

According to information shared by the organisers on Instagram, registration for interested applicants will begin on May 16 and close on May 20.

Only participants who successfully complete registration within that window will be eligible for the audition stage.

The organisers also stated that the audition process is completely free.

To qualify, applicants must be at least 21 years old and possess a valid means of identification.

They further noted that available slots are limited, meaning the registration portal could close earlier than scheduled once the maximum number of applications is reached.

Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails and proceed to the physical audition stage, which is scheduled to take place from May 22 to May 24 in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.

The move marks a return to the show’s earlier in-person audition format after several seasons of online and hybrid selection methods.

The previous season of Big Brother Naija was won by Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, who emerged victorious on October 5, 2025, after competing against 28 other housemates for the grand prize of ₦150 million.
