Anita Singh, known across Nigeria as Nini, is a reality television star, fashion entrepreneur, model and influencer who rose to fame on Big Brother Naija Season 6 in 2021. Born on May 16, 1995, in Auchi, Edo State, the 31-year-old is one of the most business-minded alumni of the “Shine Ya Eye” season: an economics graduate who founded the fashion brand fPUB and turned her time in the house into a lasting fashion and influencer career. Her mixed Nigerian-Indian heritage — a Nigerian mother from Edo State and an Indian father — has made her one of the most distinctive faces of the franchise.
Biography & Early Life
Nini was born Anita Singh in Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria, and grew up in a multicultural household of five siblings. Her mother is Nigerian, from Edo State, while her father is an Indian national — a blend of African and Asian roots that shaped her striking appearance and worldview. She spent her early years in Auchi, where she attended local schools before moving to Abuja for university.
At the University of Abuja she earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics, a background that gave her the analytical and business grounding she would later apply to fashion. Before reality TV, she worked briefly as a financial analyst and in modelling, but her passion for fashion drew her into entrepreneurship. She founded fPUB, a fashion and retail brand dealing in men’s and women’s wear, shoes, sneakers and bags — initially, she has said, because she struggled to find good fashion pieces in Abuja. She describes herself as curious, dramatic, ambitious and fun, and admits she loves being the centre of attention.
BBNaija Journey
Nini entered the Big Brother Naija Season 6 “Shine Ya Eye” house in 2021 as one of the final housemates unveiled that year, arriving with the self-assurance of a woman who, in her own words, “believes in winning and has no negative spirit of losing.” Her confidence, charm and intelligence quickly made her a fan favourite, and her playful chemistry with fellow housemate Saga became one of the season’s most talked-about storylines. Though she did not reach the finale — she was evicted before the final week — her time in the house cemented her national profile and gave her the spotlight she needed to launch her brand to millions of viewers.
Career After BBNaija
Post-show, Nini did what her economics training had prepared her for: she built the business. fPUB grew into a recognised fashion label, and she established herself as a model, social media influencer and brand ambassador, trading on her style, calm personality and relentless ambition. Her mixed heritage and fashion sense positioned her well for fashion and lifestyle partnerships. In 2025 she celebrated a widely reported milestone — the purchase of a luxury duplex, showcased on social media with a housewarming celebration — a public marker of how far her post-BBNaija business ventures had taken her.
Net Worth & Income
Nini’s net worth is estimated at $100,000–$350,000 (approximately ₦134–469 million), according to reported Nigerian media estimates — a broad range that reflects how privately she runs her businesses. Her income comes from fPUB sales, brand ambassadorships and endorsements, modelling work, influencer partnerships and appearance fees. The wide spread in published figures is common in this niche; what is documented is that her fashion business, rather than the show itself, is the engine of her wealth.
Personal Life
Nini is not married and has kept her private relationships largely out of the public eye. Inside the house she was open about being in a serious relationship outside the show and turned down romantic overtures from Saga, insisting she wanted to stay faithful. She grew up close to her mother, whom she has described as the support of her life, and has spoken about valuing honest people and despising pride and ego. Off-camera, she remains focused on growing her businesses and her fashion brand.
