I can’t explain it. It is extremely toxic. Even outside the house, you still witness the toxicity to some extent among the fans and all of that.

Her four-day or five days cooking show passed the last two Big Brother shows of three months,” he wrote.

Phyna

Phyna, the winner of the Big Brother Naija reality show, has expressed her disinterest in dating any male contestant from the show. Her statement came in response to a comment made by her colleague, Chizzy, who suggested that Phyna and another former housemate, Groovy, would make a good couple. Chizzy’s comment was made on social media when a photo of Phyna and Groovy was posted online. He wrote, “Take it easy on us abeg…I go ship ooo.” However, Phyna was quick to shut down the suggestion, stating that there are many sweet boys in Nigeria and she does not understand why Chizzy wants to pair her with a male colleague. Phyna went on to imply that she could not date any BBNaija guy because none of them are humans, and she only wants to be shipped with human beings. In her words; “Chizzy, sweet boys dey Nigeria na. Why you just wan ship me with BBN boys. Ship me with human being abeg.” This statement has caused a stir among fans of the show, with some expressing support for Phyna’s stance while others have criticized her for being too judgmental. One user commented; “I think Phyna has a right to choose who she wants to date. If she doesn’t want to date any of the male contestants from BBNaija, that’s her choice.” Another user wrote, “I understand where Phyna is coming from. It’s not easy to date someone who has been on a reality show. There’s always the risk of being in the spotlight and having your personal life scrutinized.” However, not all comments were supportive of Phyna’s stance. One user wrote, “I think Phyna is being too harsh. Just because someone was on a reality show doesn’t mean they’re not human. She should give them a chance.” Another user commented; “Phyna needs to remember that everyone deserves a fair chance. She shouldn’t be quick to judge people based on their past.”

Tobi Bakre on Why He Quit Bank Job for BBNaija “My personality when I’m doing the same thing over and over it tends to get boring. At that time I was still young. I think I was 22 at that time. So, I said ‘okay I have always wanted to go on this show [Big Brother Naija], and I’m tired of this [banking] job.’ So, it was either I start processing my japa [Visa] to Canada or I can go for [BBNaija]. And then it was more like you can go for this thing [BBNaija] and then come back and process your Canada [Visa] and whatever life brings. “I was just really tired of where I was. So, I was like okay let me take a chance on this [BBNaija]. So, we went for Big Brother and then I didn’t really think after Big Brother this is what I want to do, that is what I want to do. I was just like okay, in case anything should come up, I got like management, someone I respected and trusted. And I was like ‘please o, whatever it’s I’m doing there [Big Brother house], plz make sure there’s value to be gotten when I get out’.” How Fans Sent Me N800K after Losing on Show – Tobi Bakre “Because I didn’t win, a lot of fans, people have sent money to my account. Sorry guys, I’m just confessing for the first time. I entered the bank with like nothing. I remember myself and one of my friends, Adamu, that December because life was tough, we were like ‘let’s just spend all our money and enjoy ourselves’. And this is what we did. We were clubbing, we were partying, we spent all the money. So there was really no money in January. I just got out [of Big Brother house] and I saw like N800 and something thousand in my account. So I [used it] got an iPhone. But then, I was ready to do the work. I think the rest is history,”

Recall that Saga was dragged by social media users when they were still in Big Brother’s house when he kept following Nini wherever she went. Little did the public know that the love between the two would move to another level. In an interview with media personality Chude, Saga addressed the relationship between himself and Nini. According to Saga, he was closer to Nini because, he is naturally an emotional human being and didn’t see his closeness to Nini as something strange. “It’s not like I committed any crime. I followed one woman, as it should be”, Saga said. While speaking further about people’s impression about him because of how close he was to Nini, he admitted that he is to blame to a certain extent as he recalled how he shed tears in front of the camera when Nini was nowhere to be found when he could have just cried under the sheets where no one would see him. He disclosed that that’s why people tagged him as mumu.
