You haven't yet healed yourselves of Awolowo's master stroke despite several decades after. We don't want a repeat of your constantly despicable rantings. Face your masters and do so squarely.

You must be a complete ignoramus! You are worse than an illiterate!

There are things you see in Nigeria that would make you start wondering whether your ancestors did the right thing running away when the Americans and Europeans came to buy slaves.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
in 1999. I was only 2.

Anyways. This guy sowore has payed his dues.

In 1999, you were just 2 years old. This is the reason why I don't argue with people on a faceless forum like Nairaland. Some of them can even be the same age with your last child!

Where are the 'they should be killed' crew?

Bizmagneto:
They said "Big Brother Naija", not "Small Brother Naija". So, if u no big or know pesin wey big, na OYO u dey.

Is that how participants for reality shows are picked in saner climes?

BBNaija And Its Mysterious Selection Process

Every year, thousands of Nigerian youths troop to various audition centres across the country in a fierce and dangerous selection process in order to partake in the Big Brother Naija Reality Show. No doubt, many have lost vital possessions while some sustained various degrees of injuries. I for one, has never been a fan of this show because I'm still trying to figure out what the show is all about and of what benefit it is to the Nigerian youths. It seems the only things promoted on this show are sex, alcholol, party and more sex. Nevertheless, I'd like to leave this aspect for another time. The focus of this article is the selection process for housemates on the BBNaija show.

Why is it that MOST folks who found their way to the BBNaija show seemed to be connected to some notable figures in one sector or the other in Nigeria? Why is that MOST of them had already gotten some degree of popularity before they were selected as BBNaija housemates? Why is it that MOST of them had already gotten some exposure living abroad before they were selected as BBNaija housemates? Is there a secret behind this that we do not know or is it just a coincidence? Some persons might want to point out Efe Ejebah, BBNaija winner 2016 edition as a contrast to my opinion but I believe we can all read. It is the same reason I used uppercase for the 'most' for those who find it difficult reading between lines in write-ups like this very one. If you are good in Statistics and research writing in Social Sciences, you would understand the importance or essence of respondents. If you are not, I will use a layman's language that you would understand better. In a series of occurrences, there is a frequency which happens to be the highest occurrence. When series of events occur, the event/factor with the highest occurrence is used to judge situations.

Now, what are the criteria for selecting people into the house by BBNija organizers? Is it age, fluency in English, wealth, fame, international exposure, educational background, beauty/handsomeness, sultriness or pure connections? Why do we always see people who want to act 'foreign' in BBNaija editions? Why can't we have Nigerian youths from all walks of life in the show? I mean, why can't we have Idemudia, Oghenerukevwe, Olawole, Idris or Obinna who has never tasted the slightest amount of luxury in life ever before? I am sure this category of people take part in the auditions every year. How come most of these housemates have featured in one advert, music video or movie before?

There are so many questions many Nigerian youths do not bother to ask before trooping out every year to take part in the BBNaija auditions which I consider a high profile entertainment scam!!!

Any entertainment show where the selection process is clouded in secrecy and not spelt out absolutely is not worth the stress of right-thinking youths.

Kelvin Ukachukwu (Rapmoney) is a media consultant.

Nice.

Surprise who? Only people who want to be surprised would be surprised. I'm more concerned about what I do to succeed than Nigeria's ministerial list bullcrap!!!

Hmmm

What would anyone be expecting if not such statements?

Recently, I read in the news how a young man was wickedly killed by a mobile policeman attached to a new generation bank in Enugu State. It was reported that the deceased had an argument with a lady while trying to use the ATM. It is so unfortunate that we live in a society where one has to queue up for long period of time just to use banks' ATM. Sometimes, only one machine will be dispensing cash where as there are several other machines lying idle.

We all know how people are unnecessarily frustrated everyday by inefficient services rendered by most Nigerian banks. The problem is as bad as our social and economic systems are. It could be possible that the argument the slain man had with the lady started from issues which many of us would consider trivial. Yes, but it has unexpectedly led to someone's death. Nevertheless, I am going to use this post to point out some unnecessary things we do that can result to avoidable altercations at ATM points.

1. Using an ATM dispensing cash to do transactions that do not involve cash withdrawals: We should be very mindful of this. Countless times, I have seen people doing this. Sometimes, I wonder whether they do this knowingly or ignorantly. It is even more annoying when you have a lot of people queuing behind you who want to make cash withdrawals. Why waste people's time when there are other machines you can use since your transaction does not involve withdrawing cash? This can cause argument which could lead to physical combat.

2. Always using the expression 'I am not the last person' when someone new wants to join the queue: Many Nigerians behave illogically and hold beliefs that may be outrightly stupid! When someone enquires to know if you are the last person, commonsense should tell you that he/she means if you are the last on the queue. Such question does not in anyway suggests that you are the last person in life! We should be making use of our brains; they are for thinking and acting rationally; they are not objects of decorations. I have observed that people unnecessarily get angry and refuse to give clear response to the question in discourse. The absence of response could lead to arguments later on when someone walks in to stand behind the back of the person who would not give a clear response. 'I am the last person on the queue' can save a whole lot of problems, my people.

3. Claiming VUGA or VOLTRON at ATM points: Respecting people is a way of respecting yourself too. You cannot have your rights acknowledged by not acknowledging other people's rights. Do not stroll into an ATM point and try to bypass others who have been standing there. You think they do not have things to do with their time elsewhere? Dem never talk, you dor already dey show muscle. No be for bank, WWE needs you. Such can bring arguments and fights which may not mean well for you too.

4. Smuggling people into the queue: This is one wrong thing most people do. It is wrong to smuggle people into the queue, either to stay at your back or in front of you. Do not think everyone is a fool or daft. People are watching what you do and be very sure that they would resist any attempt to get them cheated on the queue. This can lead to serious altercations, you know.

You can add yours.

Nice topic.

To me, I think death puts an end to the life of humans and animals as well. When a person dies, that's the end of it all. I don't believe in reincarnation.

I wonder why humans have so many beliefs where the soul of man goes to or what happens to man after death but has none as regards the end of animals

Scam!

KingAzubuike:
This innocent man has really suffered.

How did you get to know he is innocent? Nigerians!

Imagine! Yours are not even big like the ones we see on the streets everyday.

Why is every news about what Enugu State government has done coming from one particular poster alone?

Scam!

No development from Ugwuanyi. This Oephius is a paid agent. I will keep revealing you on this forum because what happens in Enugu is my concern too. I pay tax to the government of Enugu State.

Mumu! Talk is cheap.

Congrats to them.

I'll have a vacation soon in Antananarivo, capital of Madagascar.

Very poor write-up.

Another scam again!

I remember Kamuzu Banda of Malawi, the dictator.

OEPHIUS:
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for the salient achievements his administration has recorded in promoting human rights in the state.

The Commission also lauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for being gender sensitive through active involvement of women in the governance of the state as well as implementation of programmes and policies that improve the living standard of the people, especially the children and vulnerable.

Speaking when a delegation from the Commission in Enugu paid the governor a courtesy visit at the Government House, Enugu, on Tuesday, the state coordinator, Dr. Valentine Madubuko, added that the signing into law of the Child Rights Act and subsequent establishment of Family Courts by Gov. Ugwuanyi’s administration as well as the Administration of Criminal Justice Law (ACJL) of Enugu State, are eloquent testimonies to the governor’s laudable achievements in the state, especially in the sector.

Dr. Madubuko disclosed that “Enugu State is among the few states in Nigeria that has a woman as the Deputy-Governor”, stressing that “this is something very unique as it has not happened before since the creation of Enugu State in 1991”.

The state coordinator further disclosed that a woman, under the administration of Gov. Ugwuanyi, was appointed as the Chief Judge of the State, among other key positions considered for women.

The Commission also applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for the sustenance and strengthening of the Citizens Rights and Mediation Centre and the TAMAR Sexual Assault Referral Centre (TAMAR-SARC), which led to the recent establishment of a centre to take care of victims of sexual and domestic violence and other related offences, known as “Oasis of Hope for the Needy”.

The NHRC equally appreciated the governor for “sustenance of peace and security in Enugu State through the establishment of Enugu State Neighbourhood Watch Groups in all the communities in the state”, maintaining that his administration’s support for “other security agencies has led to the reduction of human rights violations in Enugu State”.

Responding, Gov. Ugwuanyi, who was represented by his deputy, Hon. Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, expressed gratitude to members of the delegation for the visit and reiterated his administration’s commitment towards upholding human rights and other set objectives of the Commission.

He therefore thanked the state branch of NHRC for its cherished roles in actualizing the mandate of the Commission, urging members of its management and staff to remain focused and committed in the discharge of their responsibilities.

Enugu State is in the hands of God. #amokelouis

Stop this your propaganda and political scamming! Ugwuanyi this, Ugwuanyi that.

Fake news!

alBHAGDADI:
What stupid right is Daddy Freeze saying people need to demand from the Church? The right to be a nuisance and start asking stupid questions or protesting? He should go and read what happened to Korah and his gang when they went against Moses and his congregation. He probably thinks the church is a place where you behave anyhow like in a democratic setting.

1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Failure to abide by the rules in God's house leads to being kicked out.

Go and sit down. You reason like a kid!

I never knew you are this ignorant!!! You posted news that you did not even understand! Where did Agbakoba mention fighting war to break up the country? You must be a political illiterate not to know the true meaning of Federalism. Seriously, education is not for everyone.

Funny label name.
