TV Host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has revealed how he had never craved fame but the monetary benefits of his job.
He said this on Channel’s TV Rubbin’ Minds co-hosted by Beauty Tukura and Prince Nelson.
The popular BBNaija host said he didn’t envisage the level of fame he has gotten over the years. He said he would have embraced the monetary benefits alone without the fame and other things attached to it.
He said, “I have never been a fan of fame. And if you know me, I think you can tell. But I have also understood that it comes with what I do.
“I have never courted fame. I have never chased fame. I have never really sort of thrived in it. I’m not the kind of guy who is going to our things out to be talked about. So, most times if you see me being talked about, it’s because of my work. It’s not because I did something outside of my work.
“I don’t know that I enjoyed fame or I have ever really liked it that much. I mean, it comes with its benefits, I can never deny that.
“But I also understand that it is a necessary evil that comes with having a career that is public.
“But if you left me with an option, I would take the career with the money that is coming with it and not be famous.”
The TV host was a housemate in the first edition of the Big Brother Naija show. He came in the eighth position during the season.
