Fact-check: Did Nigerians Spend N7.2b On Votes For Bbnaija 2019? by EgobiambuEmmanuel(op): 11:36am On Oct 07, 2019
The BBNaija 2019 ended on Sunday with reports flying around that more than N7 billion was spent by voters during the show.

Concise News, however, went back to work; dug deeper to ascertain the authenticity of such claim as bandied on social media and some "reputed" media outlets in the link below:

I'm sure they didn't.

The suggestion I posted about nairaland being subscription service and the projected income, is it workable? Dont know if anyone had mentioned this before.

True!

It's a great idea but looking at Nigeria, that model may not work here! Nigerians have not gotten to that level of subscribing for services like news; only a handful can do it!

Hm.

It might be interesting to see if people in Nigeria would pay to access Nairaland.

People overseas probably would.
