Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Faith Adewale, is proving that fame can be a force for good. The reality TV star has partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) for a major outreach focused on supporting struggling families across Lagos.
Faith’s collaboration with LFBI isn’t new. He previously volunteered with the organisation’s #NUMEPlan — a program dedicated to feeding and treating malnourished children. This time, he’s returning to keep a promise he made during that earlier experience — to do more for those in need.
The outreach, happening on Wednesday at the LFBI Warehouse, is part of the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program, a vital project designed to cushion the effects of hunger and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Announcing the partnership on X, the Lagos Food Bank wrote, “Big Brother changed his life, now he’s choosing to change the world. Faith Adewale is not just using his voice; he’s using his platform to give back.”
They added that Faith’s involvement represents more than charity — it’s “a movement of love, hope, and action” aimed at transforming communities through compassion and service.
Since his exit from Big Brother Naija Season 10, Faith has been vocal about his journey, revealing that he took a ₦5 million loan to join the show — a risk he says reshaped his life and priorities. Despite facing disqualification, he’s remained grateful to his fans, “the Faithfuls,” for their unwavering support, while redirecting his energy toward purpose-driven impact.
The Lagos Food Bank Initiative also announced new collaborations under its Food Bank Network Nigeria — bringing together five partner organisations: JKO Heart Foundation, McDera Food Bank, The Glow Foundation, Faith Moves Foundation, and I Care For All Foundation.
According to LFBI, these partnerships aim to strengthen local communities and reduce food insecurity nationwide. “Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against hunger,” the organisation said.
A major component of the effort is LFBI’s Agricovery Program, which rescues surplus farm produce and redistributes it to aged citizens, people with disabilities, and low-income households most affected by Nigeria’s rising cost of living.
“Nigeria faces the paradox of food surplus and widespread hunger,” the statement noted. “Our mission is to bridge that gap — ensuring that no one goes hungry while food goes to waste.”
Through initiatives like #Agricovery, LFBI continues to tackle one of Nigeria’s most pressing challenges — transforming food waste into hope for thousands of families.
