Former Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemate, Tochi, has advised ex-housemates going through difficult times to ignore their celebrity status and focus on hustling, saying not everyone is destined to make it directly from the reality show.

Tochi, who participated in the 2020 BBNaija Lockdown edition, gave the advice in an X post on Friday while urging his former colleagues to look beyond the fame associated with the reality show and focus on work, business and personal growth.

“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’,” he said.

The reality TV star said he stopped seeing himself primarily as a reality TV personality in 2024 and now considers himself a businessman.
