if only kogi state students can learn from this...

*BIG BROTHER*

The winner of this notorious Big Brother Naija is expected to walk away with N25milion and a car. All it requires is: be Live with a set of fellow crazy irresponsible people, do all sorts of immoral things and win!
If only there could be an educating version of such. If only they could house intelligent scholars, and make them compete for similar prizes. But, no! Our people do not encourage sanity. The best in Mathematics competitions walks home with ridiculous stipends, and laughable prizes, while these morons in BBN earn millions for coming to suck breasts, speak thrash, and display nudity on International TVs. What a generation! What a time! How do we nurture and produce the next Chike Obis, the next Chinua Achebes and the next Wole Soyinkas? What foundations are we laying for coming generations? What message of hope and legacies are we leaving behind? Immoralities... Are we not losing our minds?

We should see that this programme is replaced with a more intelligent and educative programme. Naija is broke morally and financially, yet the sponsors are wasting millions of Naira on a highly immoral programme.
Pls what is the lesson on this Big Brother for our YOUTHS
I am just thinking aloud.......

I knw this wicked woman. I remember when she followed kogi state bursary board to my school (ABU) for disbursement of bursaries grants to students. so covetous and arrogant, She will deliberately deny students right to the money by giving flimsy excuses just to make sure some money is reserved for them to share among themselves. She should be faced with charges and dance the music.

The people of Kogi state have been very unlucky when it comes to leadership just like Benue state. Right from the Local government secretariat all the way up to the state government house, the system is rotten!

We need salvation and we need it quick.

you know little or nothing about kogi politics especially Gov. Bello's government. so shut up already!

this isn't funny.. do u mean you protested against incessant power suply? do you love darkness that much?

heard the protest was taken to the Dino's family house... Okun ppl detests this selfish man.

All these selfish kogi politicians should give this Yaya Bello guy a chance to move the state forward. the level of violent opposition this guy has faced in his one year as governor is alarmingly ridiculous. a state that has been raped and bated needs a total overhaul and that is exactly what yaya Bello is doing.

Progress... keep it up...

True... so true

I must decor with a blank stare... This policy is anti-people! it doesn't add up at all especially considering the already existing hardship in the land. The government dont really have business in doung business, just make your country attractive for investors by providing the fundamental of amenities needed to sustain investments. You call it monopoly but in reality, its called enterprise.

thats a wonderful development. hopefully sanity will return to the land and .
