Disappointed in BBNaija, businessman proposes Big Brain Naija TV show

by Kingsley Alumona September 17, 2023

[b]Nigerian-South African-based businessman and thought leader Charles Awuzie has proposed the Big Brain Naija reality television show as an intellectual alternative to the ongoing Big Brother Naija show.

Awuzie, founder and CEO of Gemsbok Group, recently made this known while expressing his disappointment with a viral video making the rounds on social media depicting BBNaija housemates flunking simple questions bordering on current and national issues.

He stressed that BBNaija is a celebration of emptiness, adding that the video was a national embarrassment enough to bring the reality show to an end.


“After watching the video, I simply registered the domain ‘BigBrainNaija dot com’ as an intellectual alternative to Big Brother Naija,” he said.

He reiterated that it is time to change the narrative and launch a counter-reality show that would promote intellectualism, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship while entertaining the audience.

Awuzie noted that a few hours after he made the proposal, on his verified Facebook page, he had been receiving dozens of messages as regards partnership and sponsorship. [/b]

He said the Big Brain Naija reality show would assemble the best brains in Nigeria in one house for 50 days with the task of building a unique solution to the problems in their community.

While the winner of BBNaija, founded in 2006 and now in its eighth season, goes home with N120 million, Awuzie is proposing something much less for his alternative reality TV show.


He stated that the proposed Big Brain Naija show, whose winner would go home with N50 million to convert their solutions into business, would be streamed on major media platforms in the country.

“We need a reality TV show that will show our children that intellectualism can make them great and influential,” he added.

He said that he has tasked his team to work on the branding and website of Big Brain Naija and get them ready in two weeks.

This was the video that prompted that reaction.

Apparently this Big brother naija inmates are numbskulls.

They have no slightest idea of the world current affairs and geography.

They fail all the questions thrown at them by Venita.

I support the call for reward for intellectualism else our next generation won't take education serious

To be honest, BBN celebrates mediocrity. How can one gather some empty headed opportunists reward them with millions in cash and endorsements and tag them celebrities?
It makes no sense.

Look at some people mentor that can't answer simple question.

BBN is scrap entertainment devoid of any purpose and morally bankrupt.

Millions of sensible people all over the world cant wait for this.

You took this out of my mouth. Very shameful

My goodness. You mean they are all empty heads?. This is unbelievable

@Nlfpmod this is a front page material. I'm in support of anything that would make Nigeria better

Praise God people now see big brother for what it is in reality
Can't even waste my free time watching that shit
Would use my time to watch masquerades dancing than watching dumb fools with no iota of intelligence quotient

One person dey follow himself discuss with multiple accounts. Many of you children require mental evaluation.

Them no go gree your suggestions because you be Omo ibo ooo

Just go ahead and do your own reality show no matter the name you call it but there is no point in trying to de-market a successful franchise simply because the HMs weren't able to answer most of the current affair questions!

In as much as this is a good idea as I have already made a post previously for it, This is a scam.

I tell you they will not allow it to work. DSTV will just go and share money to Senators and House of Rep members. Minister of information as well as other politicians will collect their own and the show will not be allowed to see the light of the day.
You can see what is happening to Who wants to be a millionaire.

He's not demarketing anything. Besides those people didn't fail 'most' but all the questions.

We must look for a way to reward intellectualism in this country
