Every weekend a lot of you watch EPL amd La Liga matches, what is the gain in those too?

If you have not bashed football matches why bash an entertainment show?

what nonsense why will you compare football with Nollywood movies not to talk of this rubbish called BBN, is more entertaining and they get more views,and they make more money

Sacluxpaint:


Guider ultimate search offers more value than the porn show you follow

Gulder ultimate is strictly entertainment no matter how you see it or call.The company simply give participants task in order to test them before rewarding them.

Dee60:

To promote idleness, promiscuity and a bit of insanity in order to derail men from the truth!

And other shows, football doesn't promote idleness?

hoodmenconcept:



so, you see no positive impacts in watching football and talent hunt shows apart from entertaining you ? you better stop watching it and concentrate on your bbnaija shows.

Then leave us that are watching alone instead of calling for scrap to satisfy your interest. There are many channels on Dstv and so we're at liberty to chose which to watch or not, not some guys forcing it on our throat that the show must be scrapped

When big brother came, they said it was a socio-cultural experiment to see how young Africans from different cultural background and region will fare looked up in a location for some time, but my question now is how can we now use the result of this experiment to develop our human capital and continent in general, seeing that only people with morally broken compass seem to make it to the house

phreakabit:
Invasive mind control/programming, aimed at further widening the gap between the very few opinionated ones and the dumb moronic horde which constitutes the bandwagon mentality zombies in Nigeria. What you watch shapes your reasoning too. TV should be Informative as well as entertaining.

Yes it's but there are many channels on tv to watch.

Tonason:
In a nut shell, it's to show case our talents in blow jobs and suckriqor. It's to tell the world that our married men and women are boys and girls again

No it's not. Bj you saw was just a strategy on the part of the housemate to make the show viral and lively. As for the case of married men and women, they knew what they were up to

Ayohbk:


This is the dumbest response I can ever imagine to the question asked. As we all know that those are competitions with lots at stake.......not only physically engaging but emotional too..... I mean how would you even understand if you can ask that kind of question. . ..mtcheeeew

Doesn't the emotions translate to entertainment? Yes.same with the reality show

Entertainment

people need to take a chill pill, bbn is not by force, and again the only thing bb does for the housemates include providing for them and giving them tasks, any x part is sorely the doing of the human beings(nigerians) in the house, nobody was told to have sex or what not. if u don't want kids to see the show, dstv made it possible to block channels u don't want being aired, again what most people assume bout bbn is wrong, sure there are some x parts, but that isn't what happens all the time, the amount of venom some people pour out, u would wonder what bbn did to them, look at the show from a neutral view, the producers r interested in the money they make from it, bb,Us is currently in its 19th season and theyr not stopping, money is there while fame is for the housemates. all the same, persecuting the show on social media does nothing but show hate, u don't always have to be insulting.

badmrkt:
using football as your basis of argument shows nothing but the very high level of your ignorance. ppl are trained to play, analyze and at the end they get paid. can same been said of bbn?

Yes football is very good example. Yes footballers are trained to win trophy but does their fan have share in it? No. So why are glued to their tv? Because they want to be entertained. If they're not entertained, football game show will die naturally which we all know it's not possible at the moment

AbbeyvanPersie:
at least they don't have sex on the pitch while playing football

So ! If don't have sex on the pitch aren't you entertained? Yes.So why do think the reality show isn't entertainment if not attaching religious to it?

hoodmenconcept:



Please what talent are they showing oooooo
how to have sex ? you don't have a point...
many talented and gifted students are there, wasting their talented gifts from God, while you are there, wasting millions of naira on one nonsense entertainment shows. I am presently studying in south africa, there are many scholarships for south african but none for Nigerian and we have many best of the best students here in south africa and all over the world, no encouragement, the other foreign nationals that know the value of the talented students gave them hospitality and support and make them benefit to their country while you are there wasting resources on nonsense stuff. 20% of south african university lectures are nigerian, they are making impacts to the economic growth of the country because nigeria doesn't know their value, so they will rather go to where they are have been cherished.

The south Africa you're studying already have a good leader.They had good structures put in place but Nigeria right from immemorial doesn't have any instead corruption has spoilt the whole system. Yes there are those with talents out there in Nigeria but the government doesn't encourage them. Even the citizens commend for their hard work instead of encouraging them. Big brother reality show is own by private persons who are interested in business to maximize profit. The government can only common in when they partner Wih private individuals to search for talents but say individual businessman should do that would running at a loss.

hadaydhollarpo:

when has nudity and sexual practises be a moral acts? Its totally unafrican. The lust and desire to satisfy sexual pleasure and borrowed culture has further brought the rich African culture to its ridiculed state. Football is purely an entertainment irrespective of your age. Obviously you can watch BBN with your little daughter/sisiter satisfy your sexual urge.

Do you watch rated movies with your children, younger brothers or sisters?

The bottom line is that big brother reality show is strictly entertainment. Same with other shows and games being watched

I am telling you what they said the aim of the show was, let's call a spade a spade, the purpose of the show was defeated long before take off, enough of all this "it's an entertaining show " excuse, I guess semi porn is part of the entertainment too Cos that is why many perverted minds watch the show in the first place

bro football is not limited to screen or the pitch alone. my friend got employed cus he is a good football analyst. i got paid few bucks for officiating a football match just by watching football on the screen.

It's devil's tool to promote, popularize and present immortality as the in thing.
May I never watch that show throughout the days of my life on this planet earth.

The picture explains better.

Movies tell a story and atleAst they are acting. Idols let you see people with real talent. Porn is not on live tv for a reason it's for those who would be needing it for whatever, and they know where to get it. Bbnaija is a sex show being broadcasted to countless kids ruining their moral life! It's rated 18 yet the mofos organizing it know 10 years old will still see it. I'm telling you a lot of 10 years olds will be googling hand job or truth or dare after that show and they'll be led to you know where and become masturbators and perverts!!!

Some of you are surprisingly insensible and dull to see the real aim of things and I'm always shocked. Bb naija is a show intended to promote promiscuity and it's one of the aims of the all seeing eye to further achieve their aim. Don't quote me back you are too dull and non chalant to worth my time. Just let that ring in your head. Smh!!

You quote me and then ask me not to quote you back? It's like your IQ is teetering and on the verge of going into negative figures.
Weeks before bbnaija started i took the step of passwording every dstv channel with a pg and above rating. I.e if the program didn't have a Fam rating, no one would be able to watch except you knew the password. Big brother naija is on cable TV, not terrestrial; that is it is not accessible by everyone. You need a dish, decoder and an active subscription to get the channel. Even at that, there is also the provision of calling the customer desk to have the channel removed. No one shoves bbnaija down anyone's throat, people watch strictly by choice. If you as a parent cannot control what your child watches on the tv you bought, it is pretty much a failure on your own part. It's like handing an internet enabled device to your child and not installing an internet porn blocker. Perhaps if you weren't such control freaks in addition to incurable moralists who lack the ability to prioritize what's important and what's not, then you'd understand that constantly picking on a non-issue is a problem.

Do you know how many graphic pictures make the front page of nairaland everyday? If you know the meaning and impact of desensitization, then you'll understand how bad continuous display of graphic photos is for the human mind. Why is no one blaming nairaland? Or the numerous simulated sex scenes in nollywood movies. It's very difficult arguing with low intellect individuals, so i won't mind if this is beyond your comprehension.

You can watch gus with your family unlike the adulterous bbn.

teelaw4life:
Another bbnaija basher spotted. Op, anybody with half-a-brain will recognise that the aim of bbnaija is purely entertainment. It's like a market, there are different sellers and each seller targets customers in need of what they sell. What is the purpose of nollywood movies, football as very sensible people have already pointed out, what is the purpose of idols, what is the purpose of project fame or gulder ultimate search. Op, my anger is on the mod that pushed this to front page but I'll transfer that aggression to you. Let me also ask you some candid questions, what is the purpose of our politicians? What is the purpose of NLC, what is the purpose of the senate. What is the purpose of our president? What is the purpose of those in charge of our education sector?

I have much worse things to say to you Op, but i don't want to get banned. A little advice though, learn to target what's more important to your life and stop seeking cheap popularity by going after what is easy and acceptable to the gallery.

And I'll put this question forward to the mod that pushed this to fp: "What is the purpose of this thread?"

If you have nothing sensible to say to me please don't quote me. Na their type dey watch porn pass. Priority lacking moralists.

You've spoken well. Aside BBN being entertaining, it's also a source of EMPOWERMENT to the participants (if the hypocrites really know the deep meaning of empowerment) because none of them will come out from there without blossoming in their careers as BBN is a platform for them to sell themselves.

ITbomb:
In the meantime, let me give you an insight.
The reason showbiz strive is that people tend to show interest in stuff that are out of their normal daily activities.
If you listen to Asa songs, you will feel the stir in your soul as you flow with the lyrics however the truth is that you are in the minority as the other majority needs something more physical, they don't care about the meaning, they want the beats.

So what happens in showbiz, you give the people what they want.

You may not care about Tonto new red dress or Adaeze cleavage but they are people are clicking on any topic that show related headlines (check traffic report of most bloggers).
So if people are so interested in celebrity's lifestyle. Why not promote some people as celebrities, lock them in a house and put cameras to screen out what they do.

Those guys who organize the show are not charity organization, they are businessmen who are expecting profit.
If people don't like what they do, they will be out of business.

On how it affects the common man or the economy.
1. Viewing is through cable, many people specifically subscribed during the period for the show. The guy at the DStv shop near you gets some commission, if you are installing newly then bigger pay for him.

2. Voting are done through text, the recharge card boy issue selling more credits

3. You don't wanna miss a show cos of NEPA? then buy fuel. The fuel attendant is getting paid.

4. Bloggers just need to post "see what TTT did at night" and thousands will click to see. More clicks, more money from Google and other advertising networks

5. Perspective : There are thousands of ajebutters locked up in their high fence compound and the only thing they know are housemaids and driver. This shows may be their only opportunity to see real living from another perspective.

It showbiz bro, if people are willing to pay to watch, then give them what they want after all you are not 700 Club that gives boring testimonies but they are still on air only because they live on donations for the good work

Well constructed

Exactly, some people knew Bisola but i never did until bbn. Same with efe, ttt, cocoice, and the other housemates. If no one does anything to assist the them, it'll be the same set of people complaining that the youths of the country aren't being enabled. Some people just like to go with what's easy, instead of what's right.

satowind:
Am here to know too

One mumu that read engineering will soon come here to defend the program and then lash out at govt when issues of nice civil engineering structures in China are displayed .While China engineers are on research u are wasting time watching bbn and killing your 1st class brain. Am sure these inventors we envy don't waste their time on TV much talk-less of watch silly programs​ like bbn.


We always cry fowl that govt did this and that. In America 90% of what they boast of are private companies.


Stop killing your brain on television especially entertainment and soap operas especially when u are not in entertainment line.

U that does not watch, what have u innovated??....human being with fowls brain

brenister10:

I am so frustrated? Na me be the person wey dey frustrated and I no see any good thing for my life thats why i always think of calamity for myself. So I am so frustrated that's why I need that rope to hang myself. I think of taking my life everyday and but i want to use BBN to while away my sadness about life.

Somebody help this helpless guy.

asuustrike2009:

What do you think is more appealing to the average adolescent/youth?
Channels TV or MTV?
Don't worry, you don't have to answer, the question is as rhetorical as can be.

This is has been really disturbing my mind. Please, can somebody tell me the main purpose and aim of Bigbrother Naija ? How does it affect Nigeria Economic positvely ? How does it affect a common Nigerian in a positive way ? what is the main koko gan gan of this nonsense called bigbrother naija? I need a reasonable answer, please.

Bros, put your mouth where your money is

Yes you can watch gulder ultimate show but Big brother reality show from the onset is strictly for adult. They have targeted audience just like movies that are rated 18.

If semi nude was as acclaimed by you, why are people still eager to watch it? Wasn't it rated?
