Nelita is a housemate pair of friends, Nelly Mbonu and Anita Ukah. They are contestants in Big Brother Naija Season 9 in 2024.
Nelly is a 29-year-old chef and entertainer from Abia State.
Anita is a 28-year-old specialist practitioner from Imo State.
Nelly and Anita have been friends for nine years. They met at a beauty pageant audition in Owerri, Imo State and they connected instantly.
When Anita won Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) in 2018, Queen Nelly distanced herself because she felt she was no longer in the same “class” as her friend.
However, Anita had a pleasant surprise for her. “My stubborn friend didn’t let go, she tried her best to check up on me and always reached out every chance she could”.
Led by the spirit, Nelita has no strategy but they have their eyes set on the money. They joke about bringing the pain, the torment, and the torture to the Big Brother Naija house.
Relationship rollercoaster
High point: Shared dreams, unwavering support, and celebrating Anita’s MBGN win.
Low point: Miscommunication and distance when Anita focused on pageantry.
Playful sparks and quirks
Nelly’s “oops” moments: Slow to respond to messages and quick to get upset.
Anita’s gripe: Procrastinator, peacemaker, the glue that holds them together.
Big Brother Naija aspirations
To seize opportunities, showcase their personalities, and embrace the challenge.
