I had always dismissed the BBA as a waste of time until I made out time to see BBA7 (Stargame).

The show gives you the opportunity to see life from different perspectives. Different opinions, actions and reactions. I was shocked!

Its just a reflection of our everyday lives. Betrayals, backbitting, lies, false accusation, pretentious lives, high temperament.

BBA made me realize that people are diffent and will always understand things differently. I also got to understand that some smilly all is well people we see everyday can be very sad people when they resign to their various homes.

And as for the culture thing, what exactly do they do in BBA that we Africans don't do in our various homes? Alcohol, promiscuity, sex, lies, dance etc?

Honestly, I find BBA more educating than entertaining! shocked

guy! Seriouslyyyy? U NO GET TALK ABEG! Which Education BBA give u?
Alright,you mean Sex Education.

This is what we Africans should have as a show wit our high level of morality. What's the difference between BBA and Girls Gone wild?

Lakayana: Live is like a movie we all play our parts. It makes me realizes that just as we watch them do their thing that is how the creator of the world watches us manipulate others by cheating, double crossing etc

pointless!

Dnt even bring "CREATOR" here o. Or isnt "Almighty" u mean?
Almighty will be watching the bad bad things during "light out" ? Then BBA is now what Almighty go take watch human behaviours?

Guy. Take time there o!

safarigirl: The first thing people don't realise is that BBA is like a big psychology class. The housemates are studies and the viewers are scientists who study the different human reactions to various acts when put in a space together. It also helps us to understand and respect the cultures and values of different Africans (there are some tasks that expect the housemates to showcase their cultures, foods, attires). In the long run, for most Nigerians who really know nothing about other Africans (not even Cameroonians here) this show is educational. And of course there are other mundane things like the hot guys and babes, shower hour and bragging rights for the country with the winning rep (for we the small-minded individuals)

Read this post like 3ce and still cant see any sense in what she wrote. Culture? Did you say culture? How does being naked to another person in the shower exhibit culture?
Oh! Most Nigerian are 8 inches long, Ghanaians have big behinds, - does this count as culture?

Chiil abeg. The fact that the show is running 24-7 does not mean you should watch it 24-7 too. Haba, even the most jobless person will not watch bba that way. The highlight is what most people watch which is just an hour.

And no, they are not different, they both are for entertainment. No one should dictate anyone's preference for entertainmen
What about those that play PS3 and other games for hours? Do they gain anything? Its all about preferences.
Games help develop I.Qs. Talk anoda one!

Exactly. I always dismissed BBA and joined the bandwagon that screamed it's just a waste of time until I watched BBA All Stars (2010) and I haven't looked back since. It's funny how people call BBA housemates immoral and indecent just because they do the very same thing we all do under camera surveillance. Our people can be hypocrites.

Are trying to tell me you didn't know people are different and react to circumstances in varied ways Before watching that edition.
The BBA has nothing reasonable for real people.
I HATE WATCHING IT.

So its until I watch it for 24 hours that I can say I watch bba? Lol..I am a proud 'watcher' of bba. Yes, all the seasons! I watch it anytime I feel like on the bba channel and watch highlights to cover up for the interesting parts missed during the day.

@ ayobase, my post is mainly for you...
I have been working since 2008 at least, I am a professional, with a very hectic schedule, and a job that is not easy at all........and I am a BBA addict!

I saw season 1 highlights and loved it, missed the other seasons cos of school and plain forgot BB!

During season 4, my boyfriend, also a professional was always cooped indoors and wld tell me to watch BBA, and I always went like, "never!"


The next season, I watched and have been hooked since...!!! No apologies at all, it is great!

What I do is take my leave the whole of June, watch and know them for a whole month, diary sessions are a must, to get to know them.........then after my leave, I work but hurry back to BBA, check d live updates and contribute too @ bbafrica.tv.......sooo I am not jobless and dumb, and I love the show!

My work productivity drops then, but then it is not greatest productivity in the world as I do these full time- football, scrabble, reading, movies, hanging out with friends, dating etc!!!!

So don't give me that for jobless people ish

See, just watch from monday thru saturday, non stop and watch how you will become hooked, you think people who do heroin started off like, in fact I am tired

Btw, watch d first diary sessions today, get to know them, they are also very intelligent people like us, lol, but true

Is there a fine for overly long posts? I would pay, I have a job, and my fellow addicts would chip in too, I am sure cheesy

So benefits?
It is a social experiment and I like studying people, BBA makes this possible, I watch facades fall off and characters show up, I see people with traits I admire or abhore, I learn stuff about Africa, a lot (in fact my travel round Africa started cos of the show! An ex house mate even owns a club or two in this continent!)

I may like or dislike a romantic affair there, depending on the people involved, even spend my money voting sef, so the winner gets a bit of my money, I am a giver! Lol!

See, just don't judge, the show is cool, and I have never seen shower hour o, dat s not what the show is about, believe me
