‘Don’t Join BBNaija Without Mental Strength,’ Tega Dominic Warns Friends

Reality star Tega Dominic has revealed the mental health challenges she faced after Big Brother Naija. She says the constant pressure and public scrutiny left her with severe anxiety and social phobia. Tega admitted she now finds it hard to attend events alone or even receive hugs. She urged close friends to think twice before auditioning, stressing that only those with strong mental resilience should enter the Big Brother house. In a recent interview, she emphasised how overwhelming the experience can be and advised aspiring contestants to prepare for life after the show.

Contestants could benefit from mental health training sessions and ongoing counselling to build coping strategies before and after the show.
