Aside from the winner of the different seasons of the Big Brother Naija reality show, one contentious figure whose image is built around a pool of dissension and discordance springs up. This person's role is likened to the proverbial mentally-deranged woman dancing at the market place. Everybody enjoys the sight of the exhibition of shame except the relatives of the person.

The prodigal figure suddenly becomes popular and gathers so many fans not because he or she is loved or doing some things right but because there is a need to instil some madness in the reality show for the purpose of entertaining the audience. This sort of craze exhibited by the person is tagged the needed 'spice'. This person in question becomes an irritant who is to a large extent unwanted and disliked by the other housemates. For this reason, the person is regularly put up for the weekly eviction but the fans who are enjoying the lunacy displayed by the individual dole out cash to support the person with votes to keep him or her in the house.

In simple terms, they draw so much entertainment from the flagrant bad behaviours of the person and other misdeeds which might reek of poor upbringing, undying bad habits, lack of courtesy, pride and other oddities one should be ashamed of in saner climes. This is a winning strategy which the show has been projecting since 2017 thereby making celebrities out of uncouth and unrefined individuals of questionable characters. In 2017, the maiden user of this strategy was Romania returnee, Tokunbo Idowu, 35, self-styled Tboss. She was a very caustic figure who went hard on individuals who crossed her path, she was very defensive, outrightly boastful and she promoted the culture of being a 'king' over men. At some point, she boasted that she was going to expend the N25 million prize money of the show in just one week and that men with private jets flock around her. She was soon branded a 'strong woman' and a feminist by individuals who have a jaundiced view of feminism. Her beauty as well as free will to show off her boobs and bum also endeared her to some perverts who must have pictured her in their heads while engaging in the act of masturbation.

Tboss, later on, became more popular when a fellow housemate, Kemen was accused of groping her while they shared a bed together in the middle of the night. She went on to become a finalist at the end of the show. Several business brands rushed to grab their share of the attention she was getting from the general public. Tboss would later on in 2019 have a child without a father. As Tboss' antics were televised and supported by her fans on social media, a younger generation was also watching and some of them who wanted to participate in the subsequent edition of the show adopted her style deemed the winning strategy or game plan. One a normal day, every housemate is expected to have a game plan that will enable him or she outlast the other 19 or more competitors gunning for the prize money that runs into millions of naira.

In the year 2018 when another season of the reality show started, a younger lady named Cynthia Nwadiora, 26, aka CeeC copied Tboss' style and even made it worse with her 'rare talent' of deep bitterness. She picked a sparring partner in a lopsided show and made a fool of him. The partner, Tobi Bakre who was hopelessly in love with CeeC was so mesmerized that there were frequent incidents of outrage by the audience who took to social media to express their grievances. From Tobi, CeeC spread her tentacles across the house and started clashing with other housemates. Just like Tboss, she once claimed that some of the housemates are privileged to share the same roof with her. As expected, the audience who are like fans of combat games cheering at the sight of blood was excited about the drama she brought to the house and they laboured to keep her in the show till the final day. She even went close to winning the reality show. When the show ended, CeeC like Tboss was swarmed by brands with endorsements. They just wanted a bit of the attention she was getting. It was a move for publicity and subsequently profit. It's a trend in Nigeria; Instagram comedienne Etinosa Idemudia started getting endorsement deals and more movie roles after she stripped naked during a live video session on Instagram. These mushroom companies associated with her just liked the fact that she was in the news, the reason means nothing to them.

As CeeC gathered over a million followers on Instagram in a matter of months, another younger lady was also watching her and hoping to be like her and this person is Tacha. I am sure Tacha must have boasted to herself of her ability to behave worse than the sullen CeeC in the bid to be rewarded for it. The self-acclaimed Port Harcourt First Daughter made it to the current season 4 of the reality show of the year 2019 and she has been stinging anybody that comes her way. Men like Seyi and Mike have been verbally battered severally by Tacha. She even extended her rudeness to the organizers of the show. Something her predecessors in the business of bad behaviours were scared to attempt. In fact, Tacha is so dramatic that she has been tagged the 'real pepper' of the show. Tacha who carries herself as a celebrity expressed similar views with CeeC by claiming her colleagues in the house should cherish the opportunity of being around her. She also bragged that she has achieved a lot at the age of 23 even more than what Seyi, the grandson of late elder statesman, Chief Obafemi Awolowo has achieved at 30. One can perceive a similar script being acted out by the controversial trio.

Tacha's madness is so loved that she has been getting the highest votes during eviction sessions. The dancer who garnered over 200,000 followers from practising all manners of obscenities on Instagram is so sure she is doing what the audience wants that she boasted from the inception of the show that she would win it. According to her, she has fans who vote with the last drop of their blood to keep her in the show. So far, she seems very right. Tacha, the ambassador of colourism has suddenly become one of the hottest entertainment topics on social media all for the wrong reasons.

Inasmuch as many believe the BBNaija show is a mere game one should read deep meanings into, the trio of Tboss, CeeC and Tacha are reflections of the stench and rot among the 21st century Nigerian females needlessly competing with men under the guise of feminism. These women have lost their African values as they compare themselves with their counterparts in the western world. They are women with an embarrassing sense of entitlement, importance and egotism. Most of them can't cook, clean or even maintain healthy relationships. They are bereft of intelligence and riddled with an acute inferiority complex. They are the ones that easily go under the knife to enlarge their boobs, hips and bums to boost their sex appeal. They never pay attention to what they have upstairs. They value having large followings on social media than real-life achievements. These people support Tboss, CeeC and Tacha because these individuals are reflections of them, so they relate with them easily. This is a far-reaching quandary in Nigerian society. Young men seeking for future partners will admit that finding sex is as easy as breathing in and out while finding a wife could be as hard as stopping the politicians from stealing public funds. We are sitting on a keg of gunpowder and as long as the reality show is allowed to strive, more figures like the trio will surface with stinking characters.


It will be worse if Tacha realizes her dream of winning the reality show and bagging N60 million in prizes. The wrong person is about to be positioned at the centre stage as a role model. Ace comedian Basketmouth was forced to admit that he would be depressed should Tacha win the show in a couple of weeks. As a father and adult, he knows what it means to have someone like Tacha as an influencer. We can only pray to God for a spiritual intervention!

The truth and nothing but the truth!

How do we see evil and cheer on? See perversions and be ecstatic?
Are these the kind of people we want our sisters and daughters to be like? If not, why cheer?

Rewarding bad behaviour is what BBNAIJA is rooted upon. So annoying

Bla bla bla. Leave women alone. Our matter to Dey sweet for una mouth. Have men not done worse? Maybe you should have written this essay on Obi Franklin , or 2face, or wiz kid since they are promoting good things in society . Women this , Women that. Live us alone. Face your front. All that you have to tell us we have heard before. Thanks.

This is so true,I can't agree less and thanks Op for sharing this.

The trio of Tboss, Ceec and Tacha are actually toxicants. They constitute a serious threats to societal values and norms especially in an African setting like ours.

It will be a great calamity if a toxic character like Tacha is pronounced as the winner of the current show. The Organisers will need to explain to us what exactly they are promoting.

Meh, I won't bother to read a pretentious write up. I skimmed through it, I won't lie. Society is made up of individuals. The word "individual" connotes a person who is completely different from the next. It is foolish to assume everyone in life follows the same values, hence the reason logical thinking entities believe the biblical heaven will turn out a boring place. Variety is the spice of life. Viewers are and were intrigued by these women's actions because in the real world their attitudes are suppressed or shunned. Being in a confined space revealed the inner workings of their minds. I see the situation benefitting them because dating males will begin to look past their surface actions and focus on the fragile human beneath.

This article should hit the front page. This comment of mine should not go to waste.

Lalasticlala pls come do your work. Let people debate this.

Don't mind them all these outburst because of a reality show that these contestants may just be playing to the gallery or acting. That is what someone is writing an epistle for I am sure if it were men the writer would not be this worked up. Nigerians are hypocrites the moralist claim they don't watch the show yet they are able to sit down and dissect what is good for us as a society. Bbnaija has exposed us to different characters you cannot expect everyone to be the same or behave the same way so why the outburst. I would advice the writer to pick a better struggle and not bore us with nonsense it is just a show that would end in a few weeks times so why get worked up because of ladies who do not give an F about your opinion.
If Tacha wins you will only wail after then you go dey alright.Many Nigerians behave worse than these three women combined but would be the first to lay accusing fingers on them because these ones are on Tv while they are in the comfort of their homes doing worse.
I would advice critics to look at themselves and those around them before coming out to say trash about any contestant on bbnaija. Hypocrites looking for someone else's flaw to seem right on.

Front page material!

Ok

:

The show is majorly encouraging bad behaviour due to the financial gain they tend to make from it.

This is absolutely correct. The personalities behind the nasty, bitter and rude veils are the same as the characters they exhibits.
It is very unfortunate that the structure of the society has decayed so bad that only few people care to address and frown at such ungodly behaviours.

The main defensive phrase now is, nobody is perfect and they have their lives to live blabla.
My friend recently moved out of his house and rented another place because his wife's toxic character.

There's no self evaluation any more.

No sober reflection.

Rascals such as peter of Psquare are a huge virus in our society. Their level of reasoning are inrefined and uncultured to the extent that they see nothing wrong in having toxic attitude and rude character. They supports these lots and their gullible fans who sees them as role models takes after them.

A very sad situation.

Who are the people voting them

Please let me hear word jare, why do guys always try to put the blame on women, so men don't have their own problems abi, no one is perfect and society should stop hating on this women, times have change ok, Nigeria men are still looking for women that will be subservient to them, the next thing they will quoting bible verse on how men should be in control Bla bla bla, this is not 1990 this is 2019 bitches, and women are getting more empowered, if you are looking for a woman to control go and look for one in your village and because of this rubbish post I am going to vote for Tacha, because she is keeping it real and she confident in her body and selfworth, so all of you guys that is hating on her can go fucck yourselves

Doctorate degree research on top of Bbn matter, when there are other serious issues to talk about

I think I love Cee Cee more than the rest of them.
Cee Cee stands out with her dress sense and has a great fan base. Since she left the house there not been much bad stuff said about her. I think much of what she did was strategy to win the bbnaija price.

true talk

PrimadonnaO:
The truth and nothing but the truth!

How do we see evil and cheer on? See perversions and be ecstatic?

Creative individuals like Sir Dee and Jackey out leaving societal menace like Tacha and Mercy

It's a reflection of the generality of Nigerians sha, I'm not surprised

Yet another attention seeking post, I will bet next year you will write another one, Buhari is our major societal problem that a society with professors, business moguls and geniuses could elect a man without certificate and still thinks west Germany exists should be your major worry not some reality show stars who owe you nothing.
