Unity in Diversity

I have never come across two people who behave the exact same way – talk alike, think alike, act alike.  They might have some similarities, yeah but they’re never always the same. 

Nigeria is like a boiling pot of ethnicity and temperaments.  The Yorubas are known for their boisterousness, the Igbos are known to be industrious,  and the Calabars… well they’re known for a lot of things.  Things is, with all our differences we learn to tolerate each other so well that we make other nations envy our way of life, (maybe not our economy). 

I think the essence of the big brother Naija 2017 is to capture the rainbow of our cultural heritage and the raw talents that exist in the Nigerian.  When we watch the show, our focus shouldn't necessarily be on who is real or not real just by our own perceived views of what is real and what is not real.  

Just because one person can not speak the Naija pidgin so well doesn’t make him or her less Naija than the one who does.  The show has opened my eyes to the rich varieties of personalities we possess as Nigerians.  There is the quiet unassuming Nigerian, the loud obnoxious entertaining Nigerian, the sweet and silly Nigerian, the Nigerian that is just loved by everyone else but we don’t know why, ‘we just like am, we dey feel the guy’, then there is the diva that nobody really understands so it’s just easy to write her off or cast her down.  All of these people are Nigerians, na their way be that. E nor mean say becos I nor dey like A or B, I dey better than them, A and B get their style, my own style is completely different. 

The housemates are in the house to offer some sort of entertainment and cussing them out is not going to epp any one.  We should just really relax and enjoy the show the same way we do ‘telemundo’ or ‘supersports’ (guys go dey abuse me for this one), or whatever show takes your fancy.  Respect the individuality of each housemates and just enjoy them for who they are. 

Cheers!!!
