In a recent revelation on her YouTube channel, former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate Tolanibaj, who exited the BBNaija All Stars season on August 26, 2023, shared her perspective on the strategies employed to win the reality show.
Tolanibaj explained that she refrained from playing the “pity card” during her time in the BBNaija house because she preferred not to be perceived as a victim. She emphasized, “If you want to win the show, you need to have a pity story… but that’s not my character to want people to pity me.”
Aside from her insights on winning strategies, she also discussed her unconventional decision to forgo the typical media tour following her eviction.
Tolanibaj candidly stated that she desired to be “selfish” with her time and preferred not to adhere to early wake-up calls or wear makeup continuously for a week.
Reflecting on a past altercation with fellow housemates Cee-C and Ilebaye, Tolanibaj expressed regret over her handling of the situation. She admitted, “How I handled it at the time made a lot of sense to me. If I could do things differently rather than exploding, I would have a conversation with them.”
Furthermore, Tolanibaj clarified that her primary goal during her time on BBNaija All Stars was not to secure the ?120 million grand prize but to have a good time.
She acknowledged that her game plan didn’t go as expected and that she did not enter the house with the explicit intention of winning.
