Some Nigerians have expressed their shock over the choice of housemates in the ongoing fourth season of the Big Brother Naija reality show.
Reports shows that the season kicked off on Sunday with 21 housemates, most of whom some viewers have described as “more foreign than Nigerian.”
Respondents said that it was puzzling how Manchester-based Mike, London Police Officer Khafi and Ike, who said this was his first time in Lagos, made the cut while thousands of Nigerians, who flooded audition centres in February didn’t.
We recalls that audition centres across the country were crowded with people struggling to get into the venue.

I have a problem with everyday Nigerians struggling across the country to audition for this thing, yet it appears they stood no chance from the beginning. That should have been made clear to them from the start. Big Brother Phonetics.

Meanwhile, Instagram sensation, SimplyTacha who was the last housemate announced on Sunday, has remained a strong talking point for viewers as she was recognisable from several audition clips.
The lady has got what it takes to keep attention on her. She has been using that to fuel her hustle. I equally believe she'll make the top 3, she would keep giving the people what they like to see.
