My worry is that all these laws doesn't affect the so called people with immunity how then will our country get better?

Nigeria will still be better only if the youths can wake up of their slumbering and think as one Nigeria.

When BBNaija have successfully finished this year's season.

How many of us came to read this news because of BB naija but didn't see much related to BB naija in the news?

More worrisome than the hunger in the land? This government sef...!!!

You created hunger and you know hungerbad, a hungry man is an angry man.

Hunger leads to Anger, Anger to hate and frustration.

Simple solution:

Lift the hunger embargo that you placed on Nigerians & thank me later

Misleading headline/Clickbait. You would think the long post is all about BBNaija if you didn't take your time to read it. Infact, just a single line talks about BBNaija and it's even insignificant.
