As the presidential election draws closer, the organizers of the Big Brother Titans reality TV show continue to reiterate messages directed at voters’ participation and the importance of exercising the right to vote. As we enjoy the entertainment provided by the show, we are also reminded of the importance of such a historic moment and the need to be a part of it.
The BBTitans show has in various ways promoted this narrative directly and indirectly.
The organizers of the show have used the platform to promote messages from INEC Nigeria – Independent National Electoral Commission in support of the mandate of the organization including voter participation, non-electoral violence, shunning vote selling and buying, etc.
Big Brother Titans host and on-air personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu revealed that he will not be hosting the live eviction show on Sunday because he intends to be in Nigeria to exercise his right to vote.
This week, 5 pairs of Royals, Thabana, Khosicle, Kaniva, and Juvone have been put up for fake eviction. Even though none of the housemates will be going home this week, Sunday’s live show will be entertaining.
While we continue to enjoy the drama, suspense, and other entertaining aspects of the show, we need to ensure we exercise our right to vote in the coming general elections on the 25th of February 2023.
