“Apart from the fact that I’m a boss? It could be the fact that there are a lot of people who look up to me,” she told Pulse during the live screening of Big Brother Naija season 3.

“They want to do something, but they are not bold enough because of our society or religion. So, I’m that reason for them to think outside the box – “maybe I can do this,” “maybe I can be me,” “maybe I can have a nose ring.”

“A lot of people look up to as a role model for being brave.”

During her stay in the house, TBoss came under constant attack from her fellow housemates, who considered her manipulative, and viewers who considered her dramatic.

“Also, a lot of people like me because of the hate that was flowing towards me from the house [Big Brother Naija House] and outside.

And people were like: who is this girl that everyone hates so much? What did she do? Oh she didn’t do anything? This is the one I love and this is the one I will vote for.

And besides, I’m a pretty girl. We all like pretty things.”

TBoss, who emerged as the second runner-up on the 2017 Big Brother Naija show also spoke to Pulse Nigeria about how the show has changed her life.

“It is really a door opener. Before I went into the house, I was very private. Very few people knew that I existed. Now, I go somewhere and I get a lot of privileges just because I’m TBoss, just because I’m known.

“People want to know what I have to say. It has been a change from where I’m coming from, and I’m absolutely loving it.”

“It has been a roller-coaster. Sometimes, it’s really draining when I read some of those negative comments, but overall, financially, compared to where I was before, I’m definitely happy.”
