Some fans of the Big Brother Naija (BBNAIJA) reality show have advised showrunners to start the new season or risk losing money from audience votes.
The appeal sprung up across social media after a viral Twitter post by @Bidemi_brooke noting that fans were spending money on cars for old housemates might exhaust funds before voting for the new season begins.
Her Tweet was a direct reaction to fans buying a car for Bamike Omawunmi aka BamBam, one of the housemates of the ‘Double Wahala’ 2018 season. This made her the second exhousemate to get a car after Alex Unusual.
Bidemi_Brooke said, “Hello sir @BBNaija see people are using they money they are supposed to use to vote for the new housemates, to buy cars for the former housemates.
“The earlier you start this new season, the better for you. Else, you won’t see enough money this year. Just a piece of advice sir,” she said.
The showrunners, Multichoice Nigeria had announced in January that the show will return for a fourth season to be held in Nigeria.
Auditions were held on February 1 and 2 across Nigeria with at least 4,000 people showing up per state. In March, a reunion was held for the season 3 housemates and fans were given a chance the vote one intending housemate into season 4.
