“BBNaija makes your life harder after the show” — Ex-Housemate, Kess

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kess has said the reality show makes life more difficult for contestants after they leave the house, with the competition continuing beyond the programme.

Kess made the statement in a post on X while reflecting on the experience of former housemates after their time on the show.

“Big Brother makes your life harder. Winner or not, the moment you leave that house, you’re dealing with a version of life that is far more complicated than the one you left behind,” he wrote.

Kess said former housemates may receive words of encouragement after leaving the show, but they still have to compete for attention and opportunities.

“Everywhere, words of encouragement. Baba, press money join,” he added.

He also pointed out the growing number of people who have passed through the reality show, saying Big Brother Naija has produced 249 housemates across 11 seasons.

“Big Brother Naija has dished out 249 housemates in 11 seasons. Competition inside and outside the show,” Kess wrote.
