Since Big Brother Naija started life has not been the same for a lot of Nigerians. For some people, the show is bringing more spice, and for others, the show is just bringing more headaches. Here’s a list of 6 things the show has been taking from you with and without your permission.

1. Your hard-earned money.

The 5k and above you have been using to vote for your favorite housemate every week would have looked very pretty sitting in your bank account.

2. A LOT of your time.

All the time you spend watching these people eat, sleep, gossip, and quarrel you could have repurposed to writing a book or finishing that online course you enrolled for.

3. Your peace of mind.

Shout out to Kiddrica shippers and Laycon stans steady re-explaining the actions of their favs and chopping insult from random people on Twitter while at it.

4. The friends you have blocked and the friends you will still block in defense of your favorite housemate.

And who knows? Those friends may be the ones that actually come through for you when you need the routine urgent 2k and 5k’s.

5. Your online reputation as a cool-headed mature adult. 

Which you lost when spent 30 minutes exchanging insults with people for saying wrong things about your fav.

6. Every single drop of your attention.

Do you know that the rest of Nigerian now knows what the person behind Instablog looks like? You don’t abi? Continue sleeping on Channel 198.

Since you are already committed, here’s a link to all our BBNaija stories here.
