Speechless!!

Make them help us pay ASUU

Those who do not generate ideas will continue to serve those who did !,am not a Fan of BBA ,but their bizness ideas seems to be fetching them good money ,
Op you forgot to factor in DSTV subscription across africa especially Nigeria ,online advert placement for brands and org that took advantage of the show !
Overall we are paying billions to watch people go naked its Just a shame , we can do better

I don't believe this analysis one bit. How on earth could the organisers spend so much on feeding when most of the food stuffs was sponsored? How much revenue was generated from sms votes and sponsorships, was that revealed? I know for a fact that he's lying about the sms cost used for voting. Sms votes went for N75 not 100 and the notion of 5millions people voting is absolute hogwash. How exactly did op come up with his figures?

There's a choice we making,we saving our lives,its true we gonna make a better place,but not with this BBA wahala.

This report is not comprehensive. MNet sure made a lot of money from BBA but 7billion is an outrageous figure. How much is MNet Nigeria as a company worth?

Big Brother Africa. This program is the perfection of liberal ideals being used to camouflage the New World Order. The program is really about surveillance conditioning, adapting you to a reality with no freedom. The program uses sexuality as the distracting tool aiding a socialisation agenda preparing the masses for the real big brother, The New World order. It also devalues the understanding of the New World Order making it be perceived as NO BIG DEAL! The emergence of Reality TV is not a coincidence as we entered a new century these programmes popped up out of nowhere for most of these reality shows world-wide are created and controlled by one company called ENDEMOL. They call it endemol I suggest they are trying to END-THEM-ALL. The big brother show uses an Eye as the symbol. This eye is tied to the eye on the pyramid on the back of the US dollar bill, which states novus ordo seclorum, which means New World Order.

Funny enough, that's termed as the eye of Horus and it happened that ur monika is Horus.

If I may ask, "Is that ur eye?"

if they really want to be truthfull probably they made more than that profit because I know for sure that Nigerian youths alone dat voted must be more than or close to 5million Per week.
