Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kess has said the reality show makes life more difficult for contestants after they leave the house, with the competition continuing beyond the programme.

Kess made the statement in a post on X while reflecting on the experience of former housemates after their time on the show.

“Big Brother makes your life harder. Winner or not, the moment you leave that house, you’re dealing with a version of life that is far more complicated than the one you left behind,” he wrote.

Kess said former housemates may receive words of encouragement after leaving the show, but they still have to compete for attention and opportunities.

“Everywhere, words of encouragement. Baba, press money join,” he added.

He also pointed out the growing number of people who have passed through the reality show, saying Big Brother Naija has produced 249 housemates across 11 seasons.

“Big Brother Naija has dished out 249 housemates in 11 seasons. Competition inside and outside the show,” Kess wrote.

Popular Nollywood actor Stan Nze has revealed that more than five phones were stolen at the late Alex Ekubo’s service of songs on Wednesday.
He made the disclosure hours after actresses Bam Bam and Susan Peters raised the alarm over their stolen phones at the event.

Reacting to the incident in an Instagram post on Thursday, Stan Nze, who was the MC of the event and a close associate of Alex, disclosed that more than five phones were stolen.

Questioning the conscience of Nigerians, he said, “How can you come to a place where people are mourning and steal from them?”

He further claimed that the average Nigerian is wicked and heartless.

“Plenty of times, we complain about the government and how Nigeria is not working, the killings and the insurgency, which is very, very true.

“But I want to address us as a people today. What are our values? I hear people saying that if we get into government, we will do our best, we will change things and policies. To be honest, I doubt that a lot because of the mindset of the average Nigerian.

“I hosted my dear friend’s service of songs last night, and it was one of the hardest things to do. But at that service of songs, over five phones went missing. I’m saying five phones because I don’t want to exaggerate. At least, I know two people who lost their phones personally, and it got me thinking: how can you come to a place where people are mourning and steal from them?

“What has happened to our conscience as a people? At a point, they had to block the gate so that people would not leave until the phones were found. The government is not our problem. Even if we chase everyone in government out now, who will lead? Who will do the job? How is your own personal life? How kind are you to your neighbour? You’re saying that the government is bad, but you’re wicked.

“We’re not kind people. We’re not kind with people’s health, not with money, not with sympathy. We’re not kind people. This is a call to all Nigerians to start doing the right thing in our little circles. People were crying over their phones,” he said.
