    Big Brother Naija is shortcut to wealth- Weird MC

    Ijoya singer, Sola Idowu a.k.a Weird Mc condemns the just concluded reality TV show , Big Brother Naija. She describes it as a shortcut to wealth. In her Instagram post, she opines that hard work was better than fast money gotten from guzzling of alcohol, partying and bathing naked as exhibited in the Big brother reality show.

    She says Efe, winner of the reality show was celebrated, yet Ibrahim was condemned for returning envelope a customer lost in the bank containing 10, 000 USD.

    In her words: ”Last year July, a security man attached to UBA, Oba Akran Branch Ikeja Lagos did the unthinkable. He returned an opened envelope a customer lost in the bank that contained 10, 000 US dollars (about 3.5 million naira by then).

     

     

    ”His monthly salary was below 40, 000 naira. Some Nigerians then especially the youths mocked him on the Internet by insisting that he was not a normal Nigerian. Some said that his village gods made him not to take the money.’

     

    “The man’s name is Ibrahim Mohammed Ogbanago, yesterday at UBA BANK annual general meeting, heaven opened for him.Though the bank refused to announce how much they gave him, two governors gave him total of 15, 000 dollars and the Senate will honour him physically on Tuesday with an award and 5 million naira.

     

    “Some Nigerians celebrated the winner of Big Brother Africa that went home with 25 million. But the cash reward for BBN is for what?

     

    “Ibrahim got his reward for hard work, honesty and integrity not by being indoors guzzling alcohol, partying, smoking or bathing naked for the world to see.

     

    “I celebrate Ibrahim and urge Nigerians to know that honesty and integrity can be rewarded.

     

    “We must shun all short cuts to wealth. Be contented but work hard.”

It has been a big adjustment for me coming back home to Nigeria concerning the attention my participation in the show attracted. Why I’ve tried to adjust as fast as I can, certain incidents have happened in the past week that have been difficult to shake off. I am not unaware of the the thousands who raised their voices in my defence. I am extremely grateful to you all.

Words are powerful but actions speak louder. Over the next few weeks, I will align myself with several courses that promote and uphold values I hold dear. Going forward, I will no longer allow myself to be put in situations that trivialize and attempt to normalize the unfortunate incident that happened to me on March 5th in the Big Brother Naija house. Conversations must be had on the importance of consent. Thank you so much guys for listening to me. This is TBoss.”

I would not bother myself with a relationship because my main aim is to be successful and take care of my family very well. That alone is a good driving force, along the line, it would come. Are you telling me that successful people do not find love? They do, even when they are really successful. I would not force it because it is not something I would force. It is going to be a gentle and slow process.

    When asked about her relationship with Thin Tall Tony, she said:” There is no bad blood between Thin Tall Tony and I but I have to respect the institution of holy matrimony. I did not know that he was married, I found out when we left the house and I have to respect his wife. If there is work to do, we would attack it professionally. I went into the house to have fun and not to brew a relationship. TTT and I would be friends outside the show but I am not looking for a relationship with him”.
