Today is ex Big Brother Naija housemate Ngozi Uriel Oputa’ s birthday. The reality star is one of the most loved housemates ever in the history of BBN, and we can totally see why!
Check out our top 5 reasons why we love Uriel.
She reminds us to never give up on our dreams: Her success story has been in the making for so many years now. During the #10yearchallenge which was trending last week across all social media platforms, Uriel posted a picture of her journey so far and it was mind-blowing. From pursuing her music career in London, to Project Fame, BET TOP Actor, modelling, joining a band in Abuja, X factor Nigeria, Big Brother Nigeria auditions (auditioning 3 times before being selected), etc. It was really a rollercoaster ride, but she never gave a up! Now, she’s a well-loved celebrity who is an inspiration to many.
She is multi-talented: We love the fact that she continues to push boundaries, and never puts herself in a box. From getting brand endorsements for her cooking talent, flair for beauty, fitness, fashion, and more, she makes sure her brand is versatile, so she can pretty much sell anything.
She is a serial entrepreneur: “Never put all your eggs in one basket!” Uriel epitomizes this principle. From her wig line ‘Uriel London Wigs,’ to her ‘Ogologo Hair Serum,’ to her budding TV career, there’s no limiting this sista. She inspires us to seek several legit ways to secure the bag y’all!
She’s a great chef: Don’t look at Uriel’s instastories when you are hungry because you just might eat your phone! ‘Cos baby girl sure can throw it down in the kitchen y’all. She’s always cooking something new and exciting and makes sure to share each step of the cooking process with her followers.
She loves her Mommy: Uriel adores her mother, and we just love the relationship she has with her. Although her mom is battling with dementia, Uriel proudly still shows her off on social media – something many celebs would not do because they want to keep up an image of a perfect life. But not Uriel!
We admire her humility, realness, business savvy nature, and overall feel-good personality.
We celebrate you Uriel. Happy Birthday!
