Big brother and why the nigerian version is really successful? I came across this article online that says big brother Nigeria is currently the most-watched Reality show in Africa and the most successful big brother franchise. I'm not a fan of big brother myself but there is a secret behind this show, how has it been able to capture the mind of a lot of people A lot of people don't know how it started Where it started from Or the history behind it They don't even know who founded it So I went on a little search escapade, and this is what I got. So first of what is big brother, it is a reality show which in a number of people usually called housemate and puts them in a house with a 24/7 surveillance camera and the housemates competes for a prize which is usually hundreds of thousands of dollars, they have thus guy called the big brother which gives them a task and directs them on what to do and all of this is streamed to the audiences in the comfort of their homes. The word BigBrother is derived from the book 1984 by George Orwell it follows the life of a guy named Winston smith is a low ranking member of a party who is frustrated by the omnipresent eyes of the party and its ominous ruler called the big brother in this book big brother controls the life of different people. just like the way The US sometimes is called the big brother. The Big brother show was created by a Dutchman called john de mol Jr, he is a media tycoon and Dutch billionaire he is also known to be the creator of the fear factor and the voice, the first broadcast of big brother was in the Netherlands then it was later shared internationally to different countries and then this countries came up with their own formats like a franchise that why the Nigerian version as the influence of the Nigerian culture like the music, food snacks and even the dressing. The first season of big brother Naija was aired in 2006 then they went on an 11yr break probably because the market wasn't ready then, but they came back for the second season in 2017 but within that period they were on break in Nigeria, there was the big brother Africa which gets housemates from different African countries, but eventually big brother Naija came and took over and it has been very successful ever since because every year it keeps increasing in the number of audiences it gets which is a good thing because it sells the Nigerian culture to the world. So the housemates are selected on criteria the company wants, the company picks interesting candidate and put them to live in a house for 10weeks and compete to be the last man standing during the period they stay in this house they always engage in games and activities and then on Sundays somebody leaves the house or is (EVICTED). How does big brother make money? They do this by selling ATTENTION!! The attention and time we use to watch this show, brand and companies pay for this attention to put their product Infront of our eyes. It has been said that companies pay as much as $2million to 3.5$ just to be exclusive sponsors of the show, they also make money when you vote, It was estimated that Nigerians spent as much as $8million a month on votes. So how did BigBrother spread like fire? 1, the higher percentage of people that watch the show are young Nigerians (the millennials) and generally, Nigerians are the most populated country in Africa and the 7th in the world 2, the support Nigerians love everything Nigerian as much as they complain about their country they also love it and support it. 3, rapid internet penetration, Nigerians currently account for 30% percent of the African data usage. This is why a user can not escape without seeing a single big brother post on Twitter or other social media networks. 4, we love watching people compete for stuff, I mean humans generally love competing, that why we love watching sports the Olympics and so on. the viewers of big brother Nigeria are the people who make them keep winning So take away from this article is big brother good or bad? because people always complain about it. I personally think it's interesting to live in a world where people can create content and have that content spread all over Africa and the world generally, it is also beautiful to think that you could join a show which would give you the opportunity and marketing to jump-start your career as long as you have a skill. Many people that came out of big brother Nigeria became popular musicians and actors fitness moguls and so on which was not possible a few years back So this concludes my thoughts on the big brother show So guys I want you guys to help me by leaving a comment and sharing your thoughts on the big brother Naija show.

Zeus romantic and sexual escapades. As I said earlier I'm a Greek mythology fanatic and you would get a lot of it, so getting into this little documentary which took me 3 days to set up Zeus was a sexually adventurous god who made a significant strand of ancient Greek mythology.Without Zeus, many artistic expressions would probably not exist. One of Zeus' affairs was with Mnemosyne, the titan goddess of memory. He slept with her consecutively on nine different occasions which gave birth to nine different daughters they were known as the muses and they became responsible for inspiring mortals in a particular area of artistic part.Zeus's instinct for trickery was an integral part of his character and informed all of his erotic exploits. He had assumed the form of a human being (mortal not to sound too serious) to seduce Mnemosyne, and many of his other love affairs involved similar sorts of shape-shifting. Hera, Zeus’s wife, had also been won this way. The notoriously formidable goddess had dismissed Zeus badly when he had first approached her, forcing him to take deceptive measures to win her affections. First, he summoned a thunderstorm, then he stood outside her window and took on the form of a weak bird, its expression helpless and its feathers ruffled up as if chilled and battered by the wind-blown hail. Hera could not bear to see this tiny creature suffering. She picked the bird in her hand and placed it inside her dress against her bosom so that it could get warm. At this point, Zeus assumed his normal quasi-human form and seduced her. The conquest of hera was not the only ordeal he had his way with the spartan princess Leda and the Theban princess Semele.In some stories, it was Zeus’s quarry who had to take a different shape. In the case of Io – the daughter of the king of Argos, and a priestess in the temple of Zeus’s wife Hera – Zeus transformed himself into a cloud to make his approach and conceal it from the watchful Hera. Once he had raped Io, he turned her into a beautiful white heifer, to hide her from his wife. Hera saw through the trick and asked if she could have the heifer as a gift. Zeus had no option but to agree. Hera consigned Io to the care of the hundred-eyed giant Argus to watch over. Maddened with frustration, Zeus sent his son Hermes to slay the all-seeing herdsman; the divine messenger blinded Argus with a touch from his kerykeion, or staff. As the giant lay there dead, Hermes collected up his hundred eyes and set them in a peacock’s tail: the bird was sacred to Hera from that time on. If Zeus thought the way was now clear for him to pursue Io, he was wrong. Hera sent a fly to attack her. Buzzing about, and biting her again and again, the Hera sent a fly to attack her. Buzzing about, and biting her again and again, the insect put Io to flight and chased her across the earth. Io was never to find rest. Metis, Zeus’s cousin – and in some accounts, his first wife – wrought her own transformation in a bid to shake off Zeus’s pursuit. Metis assumed a series of different forms to avoid him, but Zeus eventually succeeded in catching her and making her pregnant. Nevertheless, Zeus was worried: Metis was renowned for her sharp intellect and wiliness, and an oracle had told him that Metis was destined to bear a child who matched her strength and cunning. Zeus – a usurper who had overthrown his own father – was on his guard against this child. Just before Metis was due to give birth, Zeus challenged her to a shape-shifting match. She was vain enough to agree. When Zeus told her that he did not believe she could transform herself into a tiny fly, she promptly did – and was swallowed by a triumphant Zeus. It was a clever trick, but it did not succeed. When Zeus developed an unbearable headache, the Titan god Prometheus swung an ax at his head, splitting it wide open. Out from the wound sprang Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, in a full suit of armor. She became one of the most important deities on Olympus and the patron goddess of the powerful city-state of Athens. I would like you to read and appreciate it and probably leave a comment THANK YOU.
