Nigerian actress Destiny Etiko has openly criticized the public\u2019s fascination with the return of the reality TV show Big Brother Naija (BBN), highlighting the stark contrast between the show’s popularity and the pressing economic and security issues currently plaguing Nigeria.<\/p>\n
In a now-deleted Instagram story, Etiko expressed her frustration with the apparent disconnect between the nation’s entertainment interests and the harsh realities faced by many Nigerians. She questioned the focus on BBN amidst the country’s economic struggles and escalating crime rates.<\/p>\n
She wrote, “E don red for our country and I still dey see some people dey happy about BBN. Hmmmmm nawa o Oh una still get enough money for DATA Abi? If you guys do not complain, then who am I to do so? I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can. Crime is now happening everywhere, insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER.”<\/p>\n
Etiko’s comments reflect her concern that the public’s focus on entertainment, such as Big Brother Naija, seems misplaced when compared to the severe issues of insecurity and economic hardship affecting the nation. She questioned how people can remain so engrossed in entertainment when basic necessities and safety are at risk for many.<\/p>\n
In a subsequent post, Etiko continued her critique, expressing dismay over the public\u2019s perceived indifference to the country\u2019s dire situation. She noted the widespread silence regarding the country’s challenges, stating, “E don red for our country and a lot of us are still quiet like everything is fine a nawa o Well if u guys do not complain, who am I to do so? I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though o. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can oooo. Crime is now happening everywhere, and Insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
