Former Big Brother Naija housemate Tochi advises ex-housemates who are struggling after the show to stop focusing on their celebrity status and instead focus on work, business, and personal growth.

Both outlets report that Tochi frames the advice as a response to former housemates who find it difficult to transition to life outside the reality show. The guidance centers on the idea that fame from BBNaija does not automatically translate into long-term success for everyone. While Vanguard presents the message as “forget you’re a celebrity and hustle” and emphasizes moving beyond clinging to past fame, Daily Post Nigeria similarly highlights Tochi’s warning to struggling ex-housemates to hustle and recognize that not all participants are destined to succeed through the show alone.

The reports do not specify any particular individuals or incidents prompting the comments, but they consistently describe the advice as general counsel shared through a post aimed at former contestants.
