Imagine getting 170 million votes at 30 naira per SMS in less than 90 days,that is 510 million naira out of which the winner walks away with 25 million naira cash and 20 million naira in add-on. The balance of 465 million will be more than enough to offset the logistics cost which was also jointly shouldered by sponsors such as Payport,Dufil and Minimie,Pepsi,Legend,Dano,Airtel,etc.

You that you're wise, where are your articles?

Safarigirl is popular in the literature section where she writes beautiful stories. And this article even though it was about bbn, also talks about life's lessons.
If you don't have anything reasonable to say, that's the way.

The truth is that, even though it's hard to predict shows such as this, your article captured it to a large extent. When Efe won last year, some people thought they could come this year with the same "poverty" rhetoric and win viewers to their side. Biito was the first person to try it and his fellow housemates shut him up while the viewers sent him packing in subsequent weeks. Why did it work for Efe and not Biito? I think it has more to do with the personality than the sob story. Yes, the sob story helped, but even if Ceec's middle name was poverty, she couldn't have won. Nigerians and humans in general can see through people.

Ceec, despite her evident lack of social decorum, still got this far. This will spur people next year to want to act the same script without realizing that it's not just about the fact that Ceec was quarrelsome but the fact that she was an enigma. People were amiss as to why someone can act like this. She wasn't the regular trouble maker. She was a different brand and it endeared her to a lot of people.

I also agree with the Rico stuff. Even though he had the least confrontations in the house and was rarely nominated, he wasn't the viewer's favourite either because there was nothing tangible to actually tie him to. That's why despite the fact he stayed long enough, he has less instagram followers than some people who left before him. He was too ordinary and not enigmatic. His doom came when the housemates reduced and his true character began to show. People now saw him for who he truly was. He wasn't necessarily a bad person but someone who runs away from conflicts even when it is necessary. I think americans call people like that "b1tch".

Tobi would have been a strong contender for the prize but his game was spoiled the moment he agreed to make Ceec his strategic partner. People began to see him as weak and he made matters worse due to his gossiping prowess. Even though Ceec did more evil than him, he had less fans than her. Such is life.

Miracle on the other hand was a perfect gentleman. He was enigmatic just like Ceec except that it was mostly positive vibes from him. He was never involved in any verbal insults with anybody even though he was one of the most disliked in the house. he only speaks when it's absolutely necessary. The first time he really spoke up was when they were doing the pepsi dance competition and because he felt he was right, he kept harping on the fact that it's a competition and noo ne should be breastfed. He also took competitions very seriously (unlike Alex) and he succeeded in winning the most payporte games. Who else deserves to win if not him?

If anyone intend to apply for Big Brother Naija next year, just be yourself, don't try to be what you're not because Nigerians will see through you. We may be many things, but not easily deceived. If your behavior is likable, people will suport, if it's not, they will send you packing.

Abeg who the fvck is dis mal-nourished goat

Of what value-added is the show to our lives other than to distract youths from the impending crisis across the nation. Life lessons from bb9ja is where you learn, abi?

Imagine, na from Ghana dis thing come sha. Dang.

I didn't read that epistle up there....
One important lesson I always learn from big brother Naija is how to make mad profit without given a fucck about who cares or not;as typical of monopolistic capitalists.
Within 90 days of the show,Multichoice will make more pure profit than it would make in a year from selling its Pay TV service on DSTV and GOTV...
Imagine getting 170 million votes at 30 naira per SMS in less than 90 days,that is 510 million naira out of which the winner walks away with 25 million naira cash and 20 million naira in add-on. The balance of 465 million will be more than enough to offset the logistics cost which was also jointly shouldered by sponsors such as Payport,Dufil and Minimie,Pepsi,Legend,Dano,Airtel,etc.
BIG BROTHER NAIJA IS PURE BUSINESS;NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS.
To hell with those lessons listed by the Op;if I want to learn moral lessons,there are are appropriate and more conventional places to do that.
Op,have you already forgotten everything you learnt in Civic education,Sunday school and the ones you learnt at home
Or don't you know where they sell self development books like 'THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE' by Stephen Covey and 'WHY YOU ACT THE WAY YOU DO' by Tim Lahaye etc

safarigirl nice one!. attention to details.
Oshe11 I see u.

Kudos OP. However:

- "Never Play Safe" is rather a very bad advice. To know when and where to give in and when and where not to is better - Act without reservation at your own peril. In fact, this item contradict your number 8 which says "Pride Goes Before A Fall."

- "Experience Is The Best Teacher" you say. Believe you me, it's better to be smart and learn from the seasoned-wise than to experience firsthand. Many have been consumed in the cause of experimenting. . . may this never be anyone's case.


- " As Much As You Can, Mind Your Business" is a bad advice too, because it helps in consolidating vices in particular and evils in general. Being conscientious is better. You'll be remembered for it.


- "Love is Love." This can only holds true so long as you maintain, sustain and retain the attributes that made the affectionate to be good towards you. Always remember that love, just like respect and loyalty, is reciprocal. Love maybe unconditional, but the preferential benefits from it aren't. . . not even the one offered by nature to mankind.

Truckpusher:
Don't tell me you've been watching this show like these lazy Nigerian youths!!

Afam4eva:

I'm not ashamed to say i watched about 5% of the show but followed 90% of it. I have always been lazy, so it's no biggie for me.
