Bold, beautiful, and business-savvy, Thelma Lawson is stepping into the Big Brother Naija house as more than just a housemate — she’s a woman on a mission. Hailing from Rivers State, the 26-year-old Cancer is deeply in touch with her emotions but never afraid to say things as they are. Her journey to the Biggie’s house is fueled by both purpose and play: “I’m here for the money and business visibility. Also, being single means I can have a little bit of fun in the house,” she says with a smile.
Thelma is a skincare consultant and serial entrepreneur who made waves when she opened her second skincare store in Lagos in 2022 — all while still in university. That moment stands as a major high point in her life. “I was just 25, and I had managed to scale my business while schooling. It was a big win,” she recalls with pride.
But behind the confident exterior is a woman who has walked through pain and kept going. In August 2023, just days before giving birth to her son, Thelma faced an unimaginable loss — the death of her mother. “She was supposed to be there with me at the hospital,” Thelma recounts. “She had surgery four days earlier, but had complications and didn’t make it. I only found out later that night.” That heartbreaking moment marked the lowest point in her life, but it also shaped the woman she is today: resilient, grounded, and fiercely independent.
As a single mom, Thelma admits she’s become more cautious with love. “My last two relationships drained me mentally and emotionally,” she shares. “I’m scared of entertaining the wrong person again. But I’m open to love, if it’s a safe space where I can grow.”
Though she’s single, Thelma brings all the warmth and intensity of a Cancer sign — nurturing when she cares, but strong enough to stand alone. She knows people sometimes misunderstand her boldness.
“I’m loud and straightforward. I say what I mean, and a lot of people see that as rude or confrontational. But it’s just who I am.”
She even acknowledges that one of her most controversial moments was publicly calling out an ex in 2023 and sharing personal details of their toxic relationship. At the time, she believed she was standing up for herself — but she also recognizes how it affected others around her.
Despite the setbacks, Thelma has continued to shine, and her influence hasn’t gone unnoticed. She’s been nominated for awards in Port Harcourt, including Lifestyle Influencer of the Year, thanks to her vibrant online presence, strong personal brand, and growing community of skincare and lifestyle enthusiasts.
What most people don’t know? Thelma can really cook. She eats out a lot, so many assume she doesn’t know her way around the kitchen — but that’s one of her hidden talents. She’s also a woman of ambition and drive, always looking to expand, evolve, and inspire.
“I’m a 10 because I’m independent, smart, business-minded, and outgoing. I bring my full self wherever I go, and I’m always striving for more.”
In the BBNaija house, expect Thelma to turn heads, spark conversations, and keep the energy high. She’s here for visibility, opportunity, and maybe — just maybe — a little romance if the vibe is right.
