Nigerian dancer and former *Big Brother Naija* contestant Roseline Omokhoa Afije, popularly known as Liquorose, recently opened up about her path to the reality show in a podcast interview with VJ Adams. She explained that her first attempts to join the programme were unsuccessful. In 2020 she was selected to take part, but a positive COVID‑19 test—shared with another prospective housemate, Jaypaul—prevented her from entering the house. Earlier, she had waited backstage for an introduction during the launch, only to be ignored by the organisers, an experience that left her depressed and nearly made her abandon her dream.
Despite her hesitation to audition again the following year, a friend encouraged her to try once more. Liquorose auditioned, then forgot about it, only to later discover that she had been chosen. This time she entered the house and went on to become the runner‑up of *Big Brother Naija* Season 6 in 2021, losing the grand prize to Whitemoney.
Liquorose’s story underscores the challenges and setbacks many contestants face before achieving their goals. It also highlights the importance of perseverance and the support of friends and family in overcoming obstacles. Her determination and passion for dance have turned her into a household name in Nigeria, earning her a substantial following and cementing her status as a prominent figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry. Her journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring contestants and fans, demonstrating that success often requires persistence and hard work.
