Have you met Anita Ukah? She’s half of the duo Nelita in the Big Brother “No Loose Guard” season. Anita stepped into Big Brother house alongside her nine-year friend, Nelly, whom she met at a beauty pageant audition in Owerri, Imo State. They connected instantly.
Before BBNaija, Anita had already made significant strides. Standing tall at 6’2″, she is a former beauty queen, having clinched the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria title in 2018, representing Imo State. That same year, she represented Nigeria at the Miss World pageant in China, making it to the Top 30.
Anita isn’t new to pageantry. She won the title of Miss Igbinedion University in 2014 and earned her Bachelor’s degree there in 2016. She also holds a master’s degree in public health from the University of Chester and is a specialist practitioner in infection prevention and control and a medical laboratory scientist.
Beyond her pageant titles and academic achievements, Anita is an entrepreneur. She launched her bag collection, The Uzo Brand, and has been a vocal advocate for the promotion of locally made products.
Check out some of her interesting highlights before BBNaija:

<p> If you're looking for a little Spanish island inspo and are flying from Montreal, why not consider Barcelona Walk through the narrow streets of the Barri Gòtic, admire Gaudí's surreal architecture at Park Güell and La Sagrada Familia, or relax on the sandy shores of Barceloneta Beach.
</p>
<p> Over in Madrid, the Spanish capital blends grand boulevards with cozy, tucked-away taverns. Spend the afternoon at the Prado Museum, home to masterpieces by Goya and Velázquez, then unwind in the vast Retiro Park.
</p>
<p> Then there's Valencia, a city that blends modern architecture with centuries-old traditions. The City of Arts and Sciences looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, while the historic El Carmen district is full of colourful street art and charming hidden cafes.

<p> For travellers looking for nightlife, Ibiza is an iconic destination. However, although it's known for its world-famous beach clubs and electronic music scene, the island also has a quieter side. Whitewashed villages, hiking trails, and secluded beaches like Cala Comte offer a different perspective of the island beyond its party reputation. Meanwhile, the mystical Es Vedrà rock formation, just off the coast, is steeped in local legends and is considered one of the most scenic spots in the Balearics.
</p>
<p>
<span></span>Whether it's a cultural getaway in Valencia, a city break in Madrid, or an adventure in Barcelona, these new routes bring some of Spain's most stunning destinations within easier reach for Montrealers. Just in time for the travel season, too!
