Christy O BBN Biography
Christy O BBN was born Christiana Oluwafunke Ojumu, in Lagos state Nigeria. She was born into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Ojumu, who are Christians from Ondo State. Christy O has four siblings; two boys and two girls. She attended private schools in Lagos for both her Primary and Secondary education.
After her secondary education which she concluded at an early age, she went to Afe Babalola University, in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. She graduated in 2017, with a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics.
Christy O discovered her talents while she was still in university; she started working with a modeling agency, participating in Fashion shows, and working with cosmetic companies to advertise their products.
Shortly after university, Christy O became quite successful; she launched her beauty line called Christy O Cosmetics which sells custom lip-gloss and lip sticks to women of all shades.
Career Progression
As mentioned above, Christy O was already a successful entrepreneur before coming to the Big Brother Naija house; it was based on her antecedents as a model and a beauty entrepreneur that she went to the Big Brother Naija house; as a springboard to launch her to greater recognition.
In the Big Brother House, Christy immediately caught the eye as a woman of great beauty. She was also playful but somewhat reserved, as if she did not feel comfortable engaging in lengthy conversations. This is not at all in conflict with the way she described herself: she said she was “funny, smart and a hardworking extrovert.”
However, as someone who is already achieving great things, and who describes herself as a perfectionist, she had her sour moments with some housemates, although not really on a personal level.
In an interview, she explained that it was her perfectionist mindset which made her pay attention to the details whenever doing any task. She would rather take her time and look at the aspects which most people would have ignored; and that even though it usually means that her pace is slower than most other people, but that is the only way for her to be happy with the results.
She further explained that many of the fellow housemates did not understand her, and that is why they took offence with her, whenever she tried to ensure that things were done properly.
Fans will always remember that she had very good dress sense while she was at the show. She was almost always the center of attention because of her stunning good looks, and the way she carried herself. This was most likely as a result of her years of experience as a model and an entrepreneur in the cosmetics industry.
After Big Brother Naija
Christy O has settled quite well to life after the Big Brother Naija show; she is back to Ondo State, from where she runs her beauty and cosmetics business.

Christy O has also become a social media influencer; she has somewhere around 180 thousand followers on her instagram alone; and these are engaging users.
