Reality TV personality Tega Dominic has cautioned Nigerians against rushing into Big Brother Naija, highlighting what she describes as the severe psychological impact of life after the show.
Speaking openly about her post–Big Brother experience, Tega revealed that she struggled with anxiety, including social anxiety, which has continued to affect her everyday life and interactions long after leaving the house.
She said routine activities such as going out alone became difficult, while even simple physical interactions were affected. “I won’t tell anybody close to me to go for Big Brother,” she said. “If you’re not mentally strong, don’t go. After the show, I had anxiety, it got worse. I couldn’t go to places alone. I can give hugs, but I can’t receive them.”
According to her, the intense public scrutiny, emotional pressure, and sudden fame that follow participation in the reality show can be overwhelming, especially for contestants who are not psychologically prepared for the aftermath.
