Officer4:
Great

Stallion93:
Honestly I prefer the nudity. That BBN house is filled with enjoyment. It’s like a win win situation, Enjoy Nudity, free food and smooch and still get 5mila at the end

The5DME:
Good evening sir. Can I PM you about stuffs relating to your academy?

Rugaria:
This comparisons between the prize money for BBN and rewards for academic excellence is not really necessary. We can talk about the need to improve rewards for academic excellence without trying to demonize entertainment with the arguments. Entertainment and sports bring in good money! That's the fact! Another fact you may not like is that nudity sells! I mean worldwide. So many times I see folks complaining bitterly about some entertainment topics on the front page. What they seldom notice is the huge amount of readers on those pages. Flesh sells. Folks instinctively want to see. It's the natural instinct that drives a warped humanity and bloggers and advertisers know.

There is a reason why the best footballer or boxer from Nigeria earns more than the most erudite professor from Nigeria! Even though they don't even reside in Nigeria! Entertainment generates money because people like to be entertained! So people go to places they will be entertained and pay heavily to be entertained. People responsible for unleashing maximum entertainment deserve serious pay the same way productive academics deserve decent pay. You can tax the television companies or the actors/actresses/sports men to raise more fund to incentify more academic pursuit, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T demonize the entertainment industry in the process because apart from the huge money it makes for the economy, it also provides a lot of people with lucrative livelihood.

obicoolnino:
Well said op, our politicians and other public holders should stop wasting money and resources on things that don't count, it's good to appreciate laycon and their likes but more should be focused on the bright brains amongst us.

Blacksodje:
Sex sells.

Best graduating students are given one live chicken and 5 tubers of yam or at best, a levono laptop while winners of beauty pageants are given cars, cash gifts worth millions, endorsements etc

Developed and prosperous countries focus on developing the educational sector. In other words they are investing in its youth and future.

But Nigeria invests on nudity, new ways of theft and establishing religious houses.

A prosperous country is known by what it invests on.

meobizy:
I’m honestly wondering the role BBN played in the write-up other than grabbing attention. Nigerian journalists honestly do not update themselves. If they did, they’ll realize that BBN is not all about nudity. Most times the winners hardly engaged in the “immoral” aspects of the show despite our people repeatedly saving “immoral” contestants to keep us entertained till the final days.

meobizy:

I repeatedly mention that if Multichoice was a Nigerian company then their DStv service would remain analog, non High Definition and broadcast only six channels as opposed to the hundred plus available at the moment. Nigerians are sanctimonious and allergic to change. We believe every aspect of life should appear serious at all times when that is the quickest route to HBP, burnouts and depression.

Myer:


Entertainment has always been more celebrated than Academics.
Sports is even more ridiculous. Imagine paying 500million euros just for a player to come and be kicking a ball

But atleast this is a good development from the gov.

Macobet:
all of u are busy blaming bbn , bbn is. not govt owned property, I think what our leaders ND companies should do is to provide opportunities like that 4 the education system

44Bulldog:
That's mordern day world for u, not Nigeria only.... where we derive joy and happiness in celebrating irrelevant and mediocre things

It also happens at family level sef....

In a situation whereby a capable and rich uncle will fail to help his niece or nephew in terms of academics procedures such as helping in tuition fee payment etc but derive joy in spraying money in parties just for petty show off

The one that annoys me the most was the fans of laycon vs fans of Erica....both involved in competition of donating money to them to see who'll emerge the richest, including our lazy youths wey never chop ooo

This part of the world is messed up

Someone got bleeped on live TV, just to come out of the show to bag political appointment
Celebrating them up and down

But someone with a 5.0 GPA is still under the damn sun looking for employment

*Spits in disgust*

gopel8052:
I'm just waiting for the west to go full electric , that's when these stupid Nigerians who are obsessed with sex will understand there's a difference between a human and an animal

Damisam93:


Seriously bro, the world is moving and creating new frontiers through science/tech. The world is going electric and here is naija we are not even investing in education not to talk about creating innovation that are renewable in nature.

lexy2014:


Not sure where u read about anyone blaming BBN. D leaders & companies are doing d opposite of what u are suggesting. That's d point of d thread
