Former Big Brother Naija star and media personality Tolanibaj is sharing some no-nonsense advice for those eyeing a spot in the BBNaija 2025 house.
In a recent video, she laid out what she believes are the keys to not just surviving the show but thriving beyond it. Her top message? Be real.
Tolanibaj stressed that authenticity matters more than strategy or performance. Viewers can quickly spot insincerity, and trying to play a character could do more harm than good, both in the house and after the cameras stop rolling.
“BBNaija isn’t just a game it’s a launchpad,” she said, encouraging hopefuls to focus on the bigger picture. While the prize money and fame may be tempting, she emphasized the importance of having a post-show game plan. Success, she noted, often comes to those who are strategic, intentional and ready to build something lasting.
Tolanibaj also issued a reality check on romantic relationships in the house, warning that many don’t survive once the show ends. She urged applicants not to depend on showmances for relevance or support afterward.
On the practical side, she advised future housemates to bring their own wardrobe, even though the show provides outfits for specific tasks. And importantly, she reminded them that the prize money may not come all at once, and that the showrunners won’t manage their futures that’s entirely up to them.
Tolanibaj’s insights are a wake-up call for aspiring contestants: the BBNaija platform is powerful, but it’s what you do with it that truly counts. Her advice? Stay authentic, come prepared, and think long-term.
