Former BBNaija star Tochi has advised ex-housemates going through tough times to drop the celebrity mindset, and focus on real work, business, and growth instead of clinging to past fame.

He shared that since 2024, he no longer sees himself as just a reality TV personality, but as a businessman, and believes that not everyone is meant to succeed directly from the show, so everyone must find their own path and keep moving forward.

Tochi, in an Instagram post, urged his colleagues to surround themselves with people who support, motivate, and encourage them, instead of those who only remind them that they were once on TV, and to make sure people see them as hustlers with values, not just ex-housemates.

He said, “If you’re a Bbnaija Ex housemate and you’re going through a rough time listen “pack up all that I am a celebrity nonsense and lock it inside a box.. come out and hustle oh, if not you go cry pass new born baby oh”
