I hope this letter meets you in a really good state, preferably on the toilet seat while you are taking a dump or in your bed as you try to recover from a round of crazy sex. This is because research has proven that only at these times are humans able to understand things unbiased and this letter is one of those things you need to read with such minds.
For the purpose of introduction, my name is Olamide. I doubt you know me but thanks to my girlfriend and my colleagues at work who forced me to watch you, I think I know you, in fact a little too much for my comfort, which is why I am writing this letter.
These days, apart from PHCN and their epileptic way of life, nothing else irritates me like the confidence with which you guys have been going on about your post-BBN days and how you expect it to make you quick millionaires.

I have been observing this trend since the first twin exit but as you can rightly guess, there’s only so much I can take and I think it’s time someone brought you guys back to reality.
If I were to cite examples, trust Gifty to lead the pack, the Instagram post of herself and a director at MTN with a caption that insinuates she is about to seal a deal with the telecom giant, is damn right stupid.
Needless to say she went that route because she believed deep down that her 7 weeks of nonsense should qualify her a place on MTN’s payroll.
And no, she isn’t the only one guilty, Thin Tall Tony is too. I heard he said during one of his interviews that he hadn’t gone into the house for the money and even boasted he could make the N25m in three months.
So let’s do this guys, perhaps the long stay in SA and the comfort that came with it has severed whatever ties you had with reality.
For your Information, not much has changed since you left. I mean money hasn’t become easy to find neither have endorsement deals began to chase artistes or celebrities.
If you doubt me, as the lot who are yet to get a nod despite their many strategies; Toke Makinwa, 9ice and even Skibii will bear me witness.
Truth is, you are not any different from the people you left in the hustle grind, so hurry back to work and stop expecting brands to make you ambassadors or doors to be flung open at the mention of your name.

If only you will be sincere with yourself, you would understand my point of view. Did you do anything spectacular while in the house, other than eat, sleep, twerk, party and slide your finger into a lady’s pant? Did you do anything remotely close inspirational.
You certainly aren’t a celebrity yet neither do you qualify for any special accolades, worse still being made brand ambassador, certainly not by any right thinking brand manager who understands that his or her brand is perceived through the lens of its ambassador.
While I know a few people may agree with my point of view, I’m sure you and a lot more would think the piece was born out of animosity.
Sadly, I have nothing against you guys. As a matter of fact, as I write this piece, I am presently watching, your former colleagues have a feast of noodles and chicken on my 41-inch slim TV.

I have just thought to help you retrace your steps back to reality and remind you that you are not a super stars yet and that even though through the Big Brother Naija platform, you have achieved some popularity, albeit not for exactly good things but that is not the end of it.
Pick up yourself and make the best of the situation. Work your ass out towards making true impact and becoming a real celebrity rather than just a product of eight weeks on TV and I mean real celebrity not like your dreadlocked senior colleague or many of his talentless friends.
No Fields Found.
