Na this kind win margin dey pain pass.

It's like losing 1: 0 to your rival at the final of the world cup during extra time 😆

It hurts more because the fans who gave their all know that they had a chance if they gave more.

Let's face it, winning the bandwagon is a pipe dream.

The average human being aligns with the winning team.


Nobody wants to labour in Vain


Losing brings but regret and pain


Everyone wishes to be chosen on stage

Wanni carried Handi

Onyeaka carried Chizoba.

Victoria carried Shaun.

Summary:

Good looks tops the scale of preference of the selection team.


1. Igbos that audition are more good-looking and sexually appealing than Yorubas that Audition.

2. Though Hausa-Fulanis are good looking, Islam conservatism serves as an entry barrier.


Learn to read, btw. 😆
TV/MoviesRe: BBNaija 2024: Live Updates Thread by N3TRAL: 2:29pm On Oct 06, 2024
The viewers want a fine girl whether she has good character or not, so if you're an Erica the team will select you, and nobody is rejecting a Nengi-looking babe to pick a Funke Akindele-looking babe.


The viewers want a pretty lady, so whether you're introverted like Victoria or not, you'll be selected.

The viewers want a fine young man with links to "old money wealth", so whether you're Kiddwaya or Mbadiwe, you'll be selected.
If one of those Okoya's young boys driving Gen-z babes crazy on Tiktok auditions for Big Brother Naija, he'll be selected before they consider an Igbo guy.

There's a limited slot for hustlers. Anybody with determination to break out will get this slot, usually upcoming and struggling musicians.

There's a slot of big nyash or BBL 😆

If you're perceived to be too old, the viewers do not want you.

There's also a slot or two for married people.

There's a slot or two for Nigerians living abroad.

Viewers want a ship.


Think of Bollywood. The producers want mostly actors/actresses that pass the Indian beauty standards so that Zeeworld fans can be delulu.

Most of the slots in BBN are for people with good looks, so the Igbos tend to dominate than the Yorubas.

So if you're Mike Edwards, Teddy A, Sheggz, Tobi etc that babes will drool over in the house, you're more likely to be selected than a Laycon-looking igbo.

In a predominantly white country, if there is an intent to train 5-year-olds for future elite marathon careers, the Kenyan or Ethiopian child in the class will likely be chosen over any white child. Similarly, if the goal is to train for Olympic sprint events like the 100 or 200 meters, children of West African descent will be favored over their white peers.

In contrast, an average white child has a better chance of being selected for a swimming competition than an average Black child. Despite America’s rivalry with China, Asian-Americans tend to be favored to represent the U.S. in table tennis or global math competitions.


List the top 10 girls considered to be pretty on the show from each season in no particular order an the average viewers will mention:


Kim Oprah- Igbo
Erica- Igbo
Nengi- Bayelsa
Maria- Igbo
Venita- Delta
T-boss- Edo
Victoria - Igbo
Kassia - Bayelsa
Beauty - North
Saskay- North

Those with peculiar facial features and exotic beauty seem to come from the Northern minorities who are Christians.

I'm not saying that those from the aforesaid regions in Southern Nigeria are the prettiest, nope.

There are thousands of pretty tall, sexy Hausa-Fulani babes "littered" across Abuja but they're not going to audition because they're majorly Muslims and even if they do audition, no sane audition team is selecting a pretty Fulani babe into a house with cartons of alcoholic drinks and handsome Bachelors ready to kiss their lips and suck their nipples during a truth/dare game. We've seen how Kannywood actresses are tortured for revealing skin and how most Northern states do not even produce their indigenes to represent in "Miss Nigeria" contest.

Islamic conservatism reduces participation from Northern regions, leaving Southern Nigeria as the primary demographic pool for such shows. Whether it's a show like Keeping up with the Kardashians or Love Island, good looks are essential to attracting viewers.

Among male contestants, Yoruba housemates such as Tobi, Mike Edwards, Seyi, and Sheggz have advanced far in these BBN, partly due to their physical appeal.


Conversely, contestants like Dami and Toyosi were eliminated early, due to a lack of immediate appeal. Week 1 relies heavily on appearance, as viewers have not yet formed opinions on contestants' personalities.

When thinking of the most successful Yoruba female housemate, Bisola often comes to mind. While she advanced far due to her talent, her appearance played a lesser role in her selection. Even Laycon, who won the show, secured victory largely through sympathy votes, not because of his looks.

Ultimately, the selection process for Big Brother Naija places a significant emphasis on appearance, as they are designed for entertainment, not talent competitions like America's Got Talent.

Consequently, regions with a higher perceived concentration of attractive individuals tend to dominate the show.

I was thinking same thing my dear
Seems they started making money this last week because the finalists have had a really good time
Multichoice's products, particularly Gotv and DSTV, are losing relevance in Nigeria because their programs cannot compete with the better alternatives Nigerians now have access to, following the advent of Smart TVs that can connect to the internet.

YouTube movies are more current than outdated Africa Magic epic movies, and even Showmax, which Multichoice introduced to key into the TV streaming market, cannot compete with global tech giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

You can even stream news channels like Channels TV, Arise TV, and TVC live on YouTube.

European football seems to be their leverage, as nobody can air it better than Multichoice in Nigeria.

Furthermore, the economic hardship in Nigeria has led to a reduction in the number of active subscribers.

Big Brother Naija is Multichoice's saving grace in Nigeria. Apart from the advertising revenue, the company sells its hardware and experiences a surge in active subscribers during the BBN period.

Let's face it: Multichoice has made more money in recent "boring" seasons than in the more "popular" earlier seasons. It was the best decision by their sales/marketing department to stop SMS votes, which were applicable in earlier seasons. The bulk of the money and fan/stan investment to ensure that their favorite housemates win went to telecom companies.

The current voting structure ensures that fans subscribe to premium plans just to vote better (even though they may not derive much value from the premium channels). Money contributed by fans for housemates goes into the purchase of Multichoice's hardware products, like decoders, so that they can deliver votes in the thousands instead of the meager 200 website votes.

Investment in Multichoice's products by a housemate and their wealthy fans can now take them to the final, although it may not guarantee winning the grand prize. It's not uncommon to find housemates who are rarely talked about escaping the bottom spot, while those who top trends are evicted.

The final top 8 means thousands of new decoders purchased in September with contributions from dedicated fan clubs, and an increase in active subscribers among existing users.

BBN will not take a break; they’ll return next year unless Multichoice finds another cash cow.

Do you understand! It's a slap on the face if fans to dictate who they should vote for. People using their time and money. That everyone wants to do it doesn't make it right. People love people for whom they are. It is also ironic when you decampaign one in favour of another. Just because you sat down and thought this should be the person to win. Since you can decide that ...vote them yourselves now. Mtchew.....

The game is about voting your fave.


Vote who you love. How kassia 's family came to decide that its better to make her hubby win is beyond me. They started this nonsense. It was meant to be Kassia's win. Though people can vote Kelly for the win but it was Kassia's win.
Patriarchy 😆

BusinessRe: Lawyer Sues Access Bank For ₦100m Over Unlawful ₦250 Deduction Instead Of ₦50 by N3TRAL:
CyrusVI:
cheesy


N3TRAL, does he have a strong case?


I will follow this through and see how it goes. This one wan half Herbert Wigwe investment in his absence
I can't make an informed prediction without reviewing his originating processes, especially his affidavit in support, exhibits, and written address. However, I'll attempt an analysis based on the available facts and law.

Facts:

I expect him to lose the case, as bank charges are typically automated. Based on his press statement, it seems likely that the lawyer either lacks a clear understanding of bank charges or that the bank deducts charges from his account cumulatively.

Law:

The cause of action arose in March 2020.

Note that the two most recent Finance Acts were signed into law in 2021 and 2023, respectively and CBN Guidelines are basically subsidiary legislations (I lack an idea of the context).

The Finance Act of 2021 amended the Capital Gains Tax Act, Companies Income Tax Act, Customs and Excise Tariff (Consolidation) Act, and Personal Income Tax Act, all of which were 2004 laws.

It also amended the Tax Act, Stamp Duties Act, and Value Added Tax Act, which were 2007 laws.

Additionally, it amended the Insurance Act, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure Act, and Finance (Control and Management) Act, all of which were 2011 laws.





The Finance Act of 2023 further amended the Finance Act of 2021.





The Finance Act he relies on was passed into law in 2021, after the cause of action arose in March 2020. Prior to the Finance Act of 2021, which specified the bank levies, the applicable laws were mostly those from 2007 and 2011. An event that occurred in 2020 cannot be adjudicated using a 2021 law.

In fact, one of the main reasons for enacting the Finance Act of 2021 was to unify and streamline bank charges, which had previously been inconsistent.

PoliticsRe: Akpata Blames LP Members For 'Selling Their Future For Peanuts’ by N3TRAL:
Many elites do not understand the poverty of Nigeria's lowest class who form the majority.

Let's face it, it wasn't like Obi gave Anambra 24 hours power supply or the best road network. The only things the average Nigerian benefits from Government are subsidies (energy, electricity, health, and education) which are not quality.

If Obi had distributed the money to Anambra's downtrodden during the election period, wouldn't it be better than "saving" it for his successor to embezzle?

Nigeria has large ungoverned spaces and there's no guarantee that if electorates living in those spaces vote without receiving cash and gifts, good governance will come to them.

These people know that the politicians are the same people and getting election gifts from the highest bidder is the only way they can benefit from their collective wealth at least at the moment.

What did the people who refused APC's money in 2020 with the slogan "Edo No be Lagos" gain by voting Obaseki?

Not voting Kassia is not the decision of the fanbase. It's the decision of Kassia's unstable handler.

Kassia will not come last. If there are 6 finalists, she'll make the finals.

Doublekay fans are just unnecessarily worried that Handi leaving yesterday was deliberate.

Nope, it wasn't, especially a week after Doublekay showed superiority by saving both husband and wife from bottom three.

If they had the power to save Handi, they'd do so too.

Over the past weeks, Wanni's fans have reduced while Doublekay's have increased geometrically after it was shown on TV that they topped Wanni and Handi.

Even if Kassia makes it to the final, Kellyrae will still win. Kassia should be there as two-factor authentication.

Let’s be honest, if we adhere to the principle that non-performance should lead to removal, the people of Edo made a sound decision. They chose to vote out the PDP, which fell short on its campaign promises.

Ask any random person from Edo State, and they’ll likely tell you that Adams Oshiomole of the APC stands as the best-performing governor in the state's history.

While I personally disdain the mediocrity of the newly elected governor, I can understand the rationale behind Edo’s electoral decision.

You people don't know what's coming honestly until kassia makes it to the finale.
Nothing will happen. For you to be a winner in Big Brother Naija, you must have the bandwagon with you.

If you can't carry your pair to the finals no matter what, then you don't have the bandwagon with you.

Mina (Miracle and Nina) shared the same fan base till the final despite the extreme passion of Ceecee's fans . Efe carried Marvis and Debbie Rise to the finals, Whitemoney saved Queen and let a whole Maria leave.

If Wanni was going to win, sharing the votes 90:10 with Handi wouldn't give Handi about 3% of votes only better than Tjay.

Thank you!

I've noticed the problem is that so many people here fall into the trap of dichotomous thinking. They'll tell you that if someone is not doing X, then he must be doing Y and vice versa. Nothing else matters.

Well, what if he's doing Z instead? Or he's actually doing both X and Y because they're not mutually exclusive? Or what if he's not doing X, and is also not doing Y?

I'm easily annoyed by people who try prescribe what others should do, and try to judge them based on their own flawed metrics. Like, just enjoy the fucking_ show and stop wondering why some of the housemates are there in the first place, especially if you can't know for certain. This is how people create foolish narratives that become widespread, but have no ounce of truth in them. It's irritating sometimes.
