Why di show be like say e no bang like dat dis year?
Wen Big Brother Naija bin land and up until di all star season of di show for 2023, pipo online bin almost taya on top di tok-tok about di show.
But no be so dis year.
Unlike previous seasons wey di show and di housemates and dia drama dey dominate di trends for social media like X, Instagram and odas, back to back, every week till di show end, nothing like dat dis year.
No be say e no trend at all, but e no strong at all.
Even di fact say di direct descendant of one of Nigeria ogbonge politicians for history, Ozumba Mbadiwe bin dey di show, no ginger pipo to engage.
So wetin fit don cause dis reduced ginger?
Well, e no really dey clear but some critics say na different factors fit don affect di show dis year.
Every year, criticisms bin dey always come from some quarters about di role of di show for nation building, but di show popularity especially among di youths bin dey drown am out.
But dis year, just three days afta di start of di 9th season of di Big Brother Naija show, di kontri go on nationwide protests wey dem call End Bad Governance, to protest di state of di economy for di kontri wey show imself in di high cost of living, food price and fuel price.
As di protests bin dey pre-planned and dem announce am at least a month bifor e start, pipo for social media start to dey reason am as distraction so young pipo no go protest.
So di timing of di show fit be one factor.
E fit also be di format of di show dis year, some critics tok say di style wey make dem come in pairs fit also no work for di show dis year.
Anoda reason fit be say pipo fit just don taya, as simple as dat.
Wetin Big Brother Naija dey all about?
Big Brother Naija na reality show wey don run for nine seasons now.
Di show set up be say pipo go dey inside one house and no go fit go anywia, and dem go live stream di lives inside di house for entertainment.
E also get games and wagers plus contest for Head of House wey dey ginger di contestants to shake bodi.
Over di years, many Nigerians don criticise di show and many continue to see di show as “distraction” and something wey no dey add value to di society.
In 2019, one Islamic human rights organisation, di Muslim Rights Concern, Muric bin ask di Federal goment of Nigeria to ban di show.
Muric Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola bin describe di show as ”abomination”, ”exhibition of nudity” and ”invitation to chaos and insecurity” becos e dey allegedly mislead di young pipo.
Fans of di show most times no dey mind wetin oda pipo dey tok about am as di show dey always carry on despite di condemnation.
For di 2023 general election for Nigeria, pipo bin dey caution di young pipo, make dem no allow di show distract dem.
E dey debatable weda or not di show don ‘distract’ anybody as some believe but young pipo wey don appear for di reality TV show don also see am as opportunity to live dia dream, as di show dey give platforms to winners and oda popular housemates to come out from di show, and leverage on dat exposure grow dia careers.
Especially for Nigeria wey di number of unemployed youths dey high.
