I have never really been a fan of BBNaija. In fact, I am one of the few who are against it. I don’t see the good or educational value it brings to the public.
However, there was something about this year’s edition that caught my attention. Through some of the hip-bounce pages I follow here in Zuckerberg’s town, I realized that there was a rapper in the house. Knowing my taste and inclination towards hip-jump, I was inspired by this rapper but I didn’t try to find him.
Then it got so bad that everyone knew that there was a housemate who was heavily criticized across the online media with Twitter being the focus. People joked that this individual might have gotten in through indirect access.
To satisfy my curiosity, I decided to find out its identity. Surprisingly, the rapper and the Twitter procrastinator were actually one and the same. It immediately rang a bell. It felt familiar!
I quickly connected with him. I could relate. Here was a young man (my age), skilled, energetic, and full of life, being drawn to something as vague and shallow as looks.
He was clearly not a popular choice. No doubt, no contender for success. What had he done wrong? He was not tall, not a gym rat like his male competitors. He was not the traditional definition of male excellence. No facial hair, no six-pack, no pink lips.
At that time, I had set up my shelter with Laycon. At that time, I chose to finish the show as far as possible. Obviously, my job did not allow me the advantage of being glued to the TV screen because of a lone housemate.
In any case, I have been following the features through the web-based media, especially on the overthrow days. In my mind, I have had a winner before and it makes no difference whether the dominant part agrees with my own decision or not. It is Laycon or nothing.
People need to understand that your appearance does not prevent you from enjoying the benefits of life. That you have the right to be loved and appreciated. That you have the right to be happy. That you deserve all the lovely and wonderful things life has to offer.
Kessy Agwam calls BBN a social analysis. It is an impression of our identity. The Laycon–Erica adventure gives us a chance to see how people feel about an unattractive person falling for a beautiful girl. It is an uneven situation that must be corrected by money, which Laycon surprisingly does not have.
So the individuals announced their decision: Water (Laycon) should think of its extent. He is not Erica’s partner. He needs to cut his shroud to his size. He is gnawing beyond what he can bite. So they ridiculed him for succumbing to a woman he did not deserve and made a call on the passionate and morally corrupt relationship that existed between Kidwaya and Erica.
It wasn’t long before Erica discovered that she felt the same way when she opened up. It was clear that she only tolerated him for his “knowledge” and didn’t find him attractive when she wasn’t thinking about a suitable mate.
Completely humiliated in every way and declared unworthy of anyone’s affection and respect by a woman he revered, my man bowed his head like a man and moved forward.
Maybe the dismissal wasn’t so bad. It focused him on the explanation that he had come home to anyway, the same explanation that he had been exposed to the joke both inside and outside the house, the cash all the more true of its absence. He focused on winning, and he won.
I was able to go to work last night at the child crisis unit when Laycon was announced as the winner of the Big Brother Nigeria Lockdown Edition. I was overwhelmed with a burst of energy. I have a feeling that I was the one on that stage accepting the 85 million naira prize. For me, Hip-bounce won, for me, ability won. For me, knowledge and character beat glamour and wealth.
Is there any moral lesson from this rags to riches story? Normal, exhausting. Never judge lightly. Appearances can be seductive. Achievement is not the selective legacy of the rich and lovable. Anyone can be productive at any time. It is just a matter of time and ability. Treat every human being with love, dignity and respect regardless of appearance and economic well-being.
