1. BIG BROTHER NAIJA

Big brother Naija popularly referred to as BBNaija is a Nigerian reality TV series. The reality show is actually a competition where contestants from different backgrounds in Nigeria are isolated in a particular house called “Big brother’s house” and they are left alone to survive with their housemates without interacting with their families and friends. However, biggie provides their basic needs like; food, water, accommodation, and clothing.

I find this show fascinating cause how do you just live in a particular place for a particular period of time with the provision of your basic needs just to win millions at the end of the game.

The winner of BBNaija 2021 season 6 “shine your eye ” by name Hazel Oyeze Onou popularly known as White Money, received a cash prize of N30 million and a brand new G-40 SUV from Innoson Motors, coupled with a few endorsements he signed after the show.

My favorite parts in this show are; the arena games, the Saturday night party, the diary room session (this is quite therapeutic), and the Eviction show.

After one season of the show, there is a sort of continuation called “The Reunion”. The reunion is where ex-housemates come together with the Host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who has been the host for 5 out of the 6 episodes, to analyze, dissect and evaluate what it was like being in biggie’s house. Also, during the “reunion” the ex-housemates reflect on where they are now, like how far they have come in developing themselves and adapting to their new celebrity lifestyle. Now here are the reasons why I think you should watch Big Brother Naija;

Ø You get to know how other people from other cultures act and behave, apart from how they depict the culture in movies. This is reality!!

Ø It is also a platform where products of different types are advertised.

I have been watching this show for as long as I can remember. The Cake Boss series premiered in 2009 and follows the operations of Valastro's family business. It is a reality show about an Italian-American family-owned business in Hoboken, New Jersey owned and operated by siblings Buddy Valastro (to whom the series' title refers), his wife, Lisa, and his sisters Maddalena Castano, Grace Faugno, and Mary Sciarrone. The show focuses on how they manufacture their edible art cakes, as well as the interpersonal ties between the shop's numerous family members and other staff. The series premiered on April 19, 2009, and has spawned four spin-offs: Next Great Baker, Kitchen Boss, Bake You Rich, and Bakery Boss. The popularity of the show has resulted in increased business for Carlo's Bake Shop, as well as increased tourists to the Hoboken area. Carlo's Bake Shop has become a tourist destination as a result of the series' popularity, with lines reaching down the block and around the corner. My favorite part has to be when Buddy says “they call me buddy I’m the boss”. Did I forget to mention that buddy’s dad taught him how to make cakes and his grandfather taught his dad how to bake cakes too?

Here’s why I think you should watch Cake Boss;

Ø To learn the skill, for those of you that are interested

Ø To learn how to handle a leadership position in a family setting

Ø To see the amazing process that goes into cake baking

Ø To learn the importance of teamwork and cooperation
