Faith Adewale, a former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, is turning his spotlight into a lifeline for families in need.
In partnership with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI), Faith is taking part in a large-scale outreach effort aimed at addressing food insecurity in some of Lagos’s most vulnerable communities.
Today’s event at the LFBI Warehouse falls under the organisation’s Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), designed to provide immediate relief to families struggling under the weight of rising food prices and economic instability. For Faith, this isn’t just a public appearance—it’s a personal mission.
Having previously volunteered with LFBI’s #NUMEPlan, which focuses on malnourished children, Faith’s return is a fulfillment of a promise he made months ago.
His involvement, according to the food bank, reflects a deeper commitment to social change—a commitment that goes beyond fame and followers.
LFBI publicly acknowledged the collaboration on social media, writing “Big Brother changed his life. Now he’s choosing to change the world.”
Faith’s journey since leaving the BBNaija house has been anything but smooth. Disqualified during the show and having taken a ₦5 million loan just to enter, he’s spoken openly about the financial and emotional challenges that followed.
Yet instead of retreating from the public eye, he’s redirected his energy toward service—and his fanbase, affectionately known as “The Faithfuls,” has rallied behind him.
This latest partnership is part of a broader initiative by LFBI to strengthen food relief efforts across Nigeria. Collaborating with several other non-profit organisations through its Food Bank Network Nigeria, the organisation is working to build a more resilient response to hunger.
One of its key strategies includes the #AgricoveryProgram, which rescues surplus farm produce that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to the elderly, people with disabilities, and low-income households.
LFBI says the goal is to correct the paradox of food surplus amid widespread hunger—an issue that continues to plague Nigeria due to systemic inefficiencies in the agricultural supply chain.
“Despite being one of Africa’s agricultural giants, Nigeria loses a staggering amount of food post-harvest,” LFBI noted. “Through Agricovery, we’re not just rescuing food—we’re restoring dignity.”
Faith’s involvement, the organisation says, is a testament to how individuals can use influence for good. What started as a promise made during a volunteer shift has now become a symbol of something larger: the power of community, accountability, and hope.
