Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has voiced her displeasure at the enthusiasm displayed by Big Brother Naija (BBN) fans despite the ongoing economic struggles in Nigeria.
The ninth season of the popular reality show began on July 28, featuring 28 housemates paired in duos. On her Instagram page on Monday, Etiko questioned why people could be so excited about a TV show while many Nigerians are grappling with survival.
Etiko expressed her concerns about the country’s dire situation, highlighting hunger and insecurity as major issues that should command more attention. She wrote, “E don red for our country and I still dey see some people dey happy about BBN. Hmmmmm nawa o Oh una still get enough money for DATA Abi? If you guys do not complain, then who am I to do so?”
She added, “I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can. Crime is now happening everywhere, insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER.”
This season of BBNaija, themed “No Loose Guard,” promises exciting twists to keep viewers entertained for the next 10 weeks. The grand prize includes ₦100 million, comprising a cash award and an SUV, with additional sponsored prizes to be announced.
