Key things to know about Erica on her birthday
Born in 1994 in Umuahia, Abia State, Erica has evolved from a reality TV contestant to a multifaceted actress, model, and entrepreneur. Her birthday post served as a reminder of her journey, which began gaining traction after her secondary education at Command Secondary School in Ikeja and a Business Administration degree from Covenant University.
Erica’s time on BBNaija Season 5 thrust her into the spotlight, despite her disqualification after 71 episodes for rule violations, including a heated altercation. Since then, she’s carved a niche in Nollywood, with roles in films like Hire a Woman, and founded Beluxia Hair and the Erica Nlewedim Foundation.

Her 31st birthday celebration reflects her growth as she balances her entertainment career with philanthropy—her foundation once fed 1,000 people during a Christmas outreach in 2018. The choice of Running (To You) by Chike and Simi at her daughter Ayomiku’s engagement party earlier in 2025 hints at her penchant for meaningful gestures, a trait echoed in this lavish yet thankful birthday moment.
The online buzz around her photos shows her enduring fanbase, built from her 2014 Miss Photogenic win at the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant to her BBNaija fame. Her posts on March 13, 2025, amassed likes and comments, with fans celebrating her milestone as of early Friday morning PDT (March 14, 2025).
