2022 Big Brother Naija housemate, Doyin David, has disagreed on the notion that female ex-housemates of the reality show only get successful through men.
The reality tv star stated this in a chat with Punch.
Doyin said “Quite a number of people seem to think women go on BBN and automatically meet men that would lavish them with money. They also think that everything female ex-BBN housemates do or achieve are funded by men. I seriously disagree that women from BBN only get successful through men.
“I know women who have been on that show and have become very successful by strictly putting their heart, soul, sweat, brain and finances towards projects, and have been able to create successful career paths for themselves. It is highly misogynistic to think that a woman cannot be successful without a man’s influence.”
Speaking about those living fake lives, she said “Fake life can never be eradicated. Sometimes, one has to look the part to get the part; but just make sure that as you are packaging, you also have substance.
“I would be a liar if I say I have not experienced the ridiculous level of fake life out there, especially in Lekki. I also have friends that have experienced this. Imagine meeting a man and in less than a week, he asks you for a loan. I know that there are many men of timbre and calibre in Lekki, but it is grossly saturated with a lot of fake people. However, I believe that everyone should live as they please.”
