March 23, (THEWILL) – Reality show star, Adeoluwa Okusaga, otherwise known as Saga, has stated why former Big Brother Naija housemates get depressed after they leave the house.
Saga, who was a housemate in the 2021 edition of the reality show tagged “Shine Ya Eyes”, revealed that the overwhelming changes in the living standards of housemates contributed to some being depressed.
He disclosed this in an interview with PiggyVest, an online saving platform. He added that he could no longer do the things he used to do before going for the reality show.
On the other hand, he revealed that his finances have multiplied, compared to what he used to earn before going for the reality show.
“I have been making 10 times what I was making before I got into the BBN house. But, the sad thing is that I ‘ve been spending 15 times what I was spending before I got in.
“Let me start with the obvious ones. Clothes. You will pay a stylist N100,000 to style you and you will still give them the clothes back. I’m telling you. When people tell me “Come for my event”, it is not that easy, I have to buy clothes.
“But this thing called clothes. You return everything back because if you have to buy them, you will spend more.
“The real deal breaker is once I wear something and take photos for Instagram, I can’t wear it again anytime soon.
“When I finally got a place and brought my clothes together, I felt like opening a boutique.
“I used to live in a three bedroom house. The rent was N600,000 and I was sharing the apartment with my guys. So it was N200,000. Right now, I am paying N5.1m.
“That is what makes some housemates depressed. It’s a life changing event. It changes your reality drastically. So, I am paying that and I have to furnish the house. It’s expensive, but it’s not like I can still be living in my father’s house at this age.”
