In fact, statistics show that these days, when asked, a lot more younger people said that they want to be famous when they grow up than younger people from past years.

How 7 Big Brother Housemates Celebrated Nengi's New Home
So nice. As competitive as the Big Brother Naija house is - 20 housemates competing against each other to win a grand prize worth 85 million naira - it's nice to see these housemates happy with and celebrating with each other outside the house. Even people who had beef inside the house are now outside the house cheering each other on. I guess at the end of the day, when you go through an experience like Big Brother Naija with a group of people, only you and those group of people you went through it with will ever understand what it really felt like and what it feels like outside the house. So I understand the camaraderie and I'm happy to see it.
