BBNaija Season 3 housemate and actor, Tobi Bakre has opened up on why he left his banking job in 2018 to take part in the reality show.
He'd worked as a currency dealer at Heritage Bank for four years but decided to abdicate as he set up the job monotonous.
Tobi made this disclosure during his appearance on the Menisms ’ audiovisual podcast hosted by Olumurewa and Michael Sonariwo.
“ My personality when I ’m doing the same thing over and over it tends to get boring. At that time I was still youthful. I suppose I was 22 at that time. So, I said ‘ okay I've always wanted to go on this show( Big Brother Naija), and I ’m tired of this( banking) job. ’
So, it was either I start recycling my japa( Visa) to Canada or I can go for( BBNaija). And also it was more like you can go for this thing( BBNaija) and also come back and reuse your Canada( Visa) and whatever life brings.
“ I was just really tired of where I was. So, I was like okay let me take a chance on this( BBNaija). So, we went for Big Brother and also I did n’t really suppose after Big Family this is what I want to do, that's what I want to do.
I was just like okay, in case anything should come up, I got like operation, someone I admired and trusted. And I was like ‘ please o, whatever it’s I ’m doing there( Big Brother house), plz make sure there’s value to be gotten when I get out ’. ”
“ Because I did n’t win, a lot of suckers, people have transferred plutocrat to my account. Sorry guys, I ’m just confessing for the first time. I entered the bank with like nothing.
I flash back myself and one of my musketeers, Adamu, that December because life was tough, we were like ‘ let’s just spend all our plutocrat and enjoy ourselves ’. And this is what we did. We were allying, we were partying, we spent all the plutocrat.
So there was really no plutocrat in January. I just got out( of Big Brother house) and I saw like N800 and commodity thousand in my account. So I( used it) got an iPhone. But also, I was ready to do the work. I suppose the rest is history, ”
