Evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate, Tolanibaj, has shared her view on how to emerge the winner of the reality TV show, claiming that one needs to portray a pitiable story.
Tbaj undoubtedly attracted intense ‘hate’ from viewers of the show during her stay in the Big Brother House as a result of ‘marking her territory’ and excessive clutch on Neo, her ‘phantom’ lover.
She literally fought every other female housemate that attempted getting close to her ‘comfort person’ during her stay in the House.
She was eventually evicted from the show on Sunday on August 27 but decided not to grant any interviews like every other housemate usually did.
However, feeling she owed her fans some live updates, TBaj made a video where she addressed the trending narrative about her.
She said: “I decided to drop a video on my channel because I haven’t granted any post eviction interviews. I didn’t feel the need to grant anybody access to me.
“I wanted to be selfish with my time. I did not want to wake up early for anybody, I did not want to do make-up for one week straight.
“I’m also seeing a narrative out there saying, ‘Tolanibaj is embarrassed, that’s why she’s not doing any interview’. You wish! That thing is very smelly to my ears.
“It’s really flattering that a lot of y’all are using Tolanibaj’s name to chase clout. Whatever narrative is out there, whatever you choose to believe, that’s on you.”
TBaj also revealed her aim for appearing on the show, as well as addressing ‘regretful’ occurrences if any.
She said: “Regret is actually a strong word. I don’t regret anything I did on the show. I will just do things differently. I don’t live with regrets.
“Before I got into the house, I was the queen of drags. Did I expect to be liked when I came out? No. The hate was like times ten. The game that I played even backfired gan.
“I did not go there to win the money. From day one when they asked, I just said I was there to have fun.
TBaj also explained the reason she didn’t go on the show with the mentality to win because she wasn’t one to play the pity card.
She noted: “If you want to win the show, you need to have the pity story. This is something I’ve always known but that’s not my character, to want people to pity me.
“Even when I want to cry, I don’t like crying in front of people. I would run to the bathroom or somewhere to cry. I hate when people pity me.”
As for the housemates still on the show, she applauded them for their ruggedity and perseverance in a highly toxic environment.
She noted: “One thing a lot of you guys don’t understand is that House is very toxic. I must commend all the housemates that are still there right now. Everybody wan crase for that house o! That House is tough o! I have to give it to them.”
