Big Brother Naija
housemate, Tokunbo Idowu a.k.a TBoss, has reacted to an article by ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan's spokesperson, Reuben Abati, who body-shamed her for
exposing her boobs, while still in the Big Brother Naija house, and also on her
'supposed private jet boyfriends', in his article titled: “Big Brother Naija –
Television As Madness”.
Here's what Reuben wrote about her in his article;
Here's what Reuben wrote about her in his article;
"Lesson three: humility pays. At the end of the day, in the last week of the program, the decision by the viewing public was a moral, sentimental one. The biggest star
of the program was, I don’t know what you think, Tboss (real name: Tokunbo Idowu), half Nigerian, half-Romanian. She dominated the space with her Jezebelic antics, even got some of the male participants ousted by entrapping and outsmarting them with her wiles.
She projected herself
as a s*x object, the ultimate manipulator, the champion Delilah of the Big
Brother Africa series. She even made a joke of the entire Big Brother concept
by saying she didn’t need the money and if she won, she would spend it in two
weeks to pay off debts, and in any case, she had men hitting on her, offering
to take her on a ride in their private jets.
She played the role
of a female barracuda. Given her looks and talents, she would have been a
perfect winner. She would have looked good on the billboards. But she lost
because of her arrogance. Attitude is everything: this is the lesson of Tboss’
disgrace and humiliation. When she was sent out of the House as the second
runner-up, the viewing center in Ikeja, Lagos, including Kemen whose nemesis
she was, danced in joy. “They are taunting me?” she asked Ebuka, the anchor.
No, sweetheart, they were making a far more serious statement about you.
Tboss and the other
girls kissed and got groped by the boys on live television putting their
upbringing to shame. Tboss, who claimed she didn’t need the money even exposed
her breasts on live television more than once.
I have seen better
breasts Tboss. I am not too sure those private jet owners will be excited by
your fluffy, South-looking, slightly bigger than mangoes breasts. If the same
men see bigger assets, I mean, those interesting Ojiakor-like ones that look
like papayas, pineapples and watermelons, they will not send private jets, they
will deploy submarines and fighter jets!"
In TBoss interview with the Nation, she said;
“I
do not feel I’m an arrogant person. I’m sorry he has that opinion of me. I read
the comments.
“My people actually
were afraid that I would get emotional and sad about it. But I’m not. I was
actually quite amused when I read his comments about the ‘mango’ part. It was
actually quite comical.”
TBoss also defended
her decision to walk around half-clad, revealing that it’s an act she’s become
accustomed to. Here's what she said;
“See,
the Big Brother house is a place where you showcase yourself. You’re free to be
T-Boss. Whoever T-Boss is, you show the world who T-Boss is.
“And in my own life,
in my normal day-to-day life, I don’t like to wear clothes when I’m walking
around in my house. I like to be free, here (pointing from her waist
downwards), covered here (pointing upwards from her waist), what’s the point?
Or I’ll just wear one small blouse. The Big Brother house was like my house at
a point.
“I was just being
myself and walking around without clothes… I didn’t go to the kitchen, you
know, because, then, that is like really seeking attention or go out into the
garden or to the arena. No, I didn’t do that.”
