Former Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemate Tochukwu Okechukwu, popularly known as Tochi, has advised his fellow ex-housemates to drop any sense of entitlement and focus on hustling.

In a post on his Instagram story, he warned against clinging to the celebrity status that came with the show, urging them to stay grounded and work hard.

Tochi shared that he has moved on from the show since 2024, now seeing himself as a businessman. He acknowledged that not everyone is destined for fame from the show and encouraged others to surround themselves with supportive people.

He further stressed the importance of being seen as a hustler with values, rather than just an ex-housemate, noting that favour meets a man in motion.

He wrote:
“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’.”

“I have even forgotten I went on that show since 2024, I see myself as a business man now.. destiny differs not everyone is destined to make it from the show, keep your head up and live your truth.”

“Surround yourself with people that support, motivate and encourage you, not people that will use ‘shebi you know you’re now a celeb’ block all your ears.. when people see you let them not see you only as an Ex housemate but also a hustler with values trying to make it.. favor always meet a man in motion.”
