sir, i dont watch it, i looked up on google, heard people talk and even tried watching but theres nthing there

u find nothing when u have nothing to be found, ur interest doesn't exist there, its funny u ask what people enjoy in watching the show while it has its audience (who are note complaining), so some of the housemates act immorally on TV, who is it affecting, the people who watch bbn enjoy it, and that's all that matters

several times people have come online to ask for the importance of a show they don't care about and its funny. looking for moral values where it isn't intended, if u watch dstv u know clearly that there more than a hundred other channels to choose from yet the people who call bbn a waste of time will spend their time complaining about it, the organizers of the show will make their profit from it, the winner will bag 25m but the uninterested people will keep complaining

i don't agree with that. 'for' in the statement 'clap for him' indicates who is recieving the action. Replace 'clap' with 'put your hands together' in that statement. One the other hand, I think 'clap him' is a PHRASE, which begs the question 'where?'

And you're not clapping at someone, the same way u aren't dancing at someone.

The users of a language define it. Not its inventors. That's why Americans have their own english. There will also, always be revision to languages. Meanings and uses of words change periodically. So, if Nigerians adopt it and it's used by the majority, it ceases to be wrong regardless of what the englishman thinks of it.

ur second makes sense in a way, if everyone adobts it then its right, similarly if everyone adopted mans in place of men then it is correct.
for ur first point, dance for someone, (so the person can watch u dance, or dance in a show in place of u) is what it seems like, u have to understand the role 'for' plays in the sentence, does it signify owning something or helping out with something eg. the gift is for me, and do this for me, try to understand clapping ur hands in regards to both examples of for'

give reasons that'll convince me and i'll believe you. I'll rather trust my brain than google

from the dictionary u would notice that clap can be used as a noun and a verb, in (clap for him/clap him) it is clearly used as a verb, so clap playing a role of a verb similar to carry drop follow etc. clap also can be used in place of applaud.
when your friend wins a lottery you....
a- you applaud for him.
b- you applaud him.
other examples of words used as verbs include. thank him, praise him, respect him. in the ones the words are pointed at the person in question. now when u say something like, pray for him or speak for him also right for him, ure doing it on behalf of the person( he can't do it, so do it FOR him). adding for to clap means clapping on behalf...which means he cannot congratulate someone so use ur hands and clap on behalf of him, which makes no sense.
by clapping ure not doing something for someone but at someone so u clap them not clap for them as if ure helping them with clapping.
PLUS- Nigerians didn't invent English language, so when the people who did say it is like this then that is how it is, it is hard to change from something I've used all ur life, but it doesn't change the fact that we r wrong!!!

clap is different from congratulate/praise in that it is an action verb, you perform the 'clapping' through action, while you express congratulation/praise through speech/orally, thats why clap (and other verbs that takes this form) take for while congratulate doesn't.

still doesn't mean that clap for him is right, u can also Google it.

I've had this on my research list for some time now but I haven't got a satisfactory answer so for I think I'll stick with 'clap for him'

clap for him is similar to saying congratulate for him instd congratulate him or praise for God instd of praise God etc.
