Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has expressed her disappointment over the excitement shown by fans of Big Brother Naija (BBN) despite the economic challenges in Nigeria.
The ninth season of the reality TV show started on July 28, featuring 28 housemates who appeared in pairs. The show has brought excitement to many Nigerians despite the ongoing hardships.
In response, Destiny Etiko posted on her Instagram page on Monday, questioning why people are happy about a TV show when citizens are struggling to survive. She expressed concern that people are hungry and suggested that more attention should be given to the country’s problems.
She wrote: “E don red for our country and I still 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? I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can.”
The current season, themed “No Loose Guard,” promises exciting twists designed to keep viewers entertained for the next 10 weeks.
Despite the show’s popularity, Destiny Etiko believes it’s crucial to remember the pressing issues that many Nigerians face daily. She urges fans to balance their entertainment with awareness and action towards improving the country’s situation.
