Portable Suggests He Can Make Big Brother Naija More Entertaining
Following the finale of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 9 on October 9, 2024, controversial Nigerian singer Portable voiced his thoughts on social media, claiming the season was not as captivating as previous ones. After Kellyrae was crowned the winner, Portable took to Instagram to express his dissatisfaction with the show’s entertainment value, asserting that he could improve the experience if paid ₦100 million.
In his Instagram story, Portable wrote, “Big Brother no sweet again like before. All those people no blow, make them pay me ₦100M, and I go use cruise finish them. Dr. Zeh.” His comments quickly ignited discussions among fans of the show, with many weighing in on whether Portable’s involvement could actually boost the show’s entertainment factor.
One fan proposed, “I want them to do a celebrity Big Brother next year. Portable, Bobrisky, and Akpi should be housemates, please. Thank you Biggie.” Another commented, “More than 50 percent of Nigerians don’t even know who won the show. I only found out tonight.”
Other fans supported Portable’s opinion that the recent season lacked the excitement that earlier seasons had brought. Some called for a shift in the show’s approach, with one user suggesting, “Big brother should bring people like Bobrisky, Papaya Ex, Diana Eneje, Dj Chicken, and Akpi. It will be mad asf.” This added to the growing sentiment that BBNaija could benefit from more controversial or well-known personalities in future seasons.
However, not everyone agreed with Portable’s critique. Some viewers appreciated the more peaceful tone of the latest season, suggesting that a calmer dynamic is refreshing in a country often drawn to conflict and drama. One fan pointed out, “A season with arguably the least amount of toxicity and maybe mature people that know how to do conflict resolution in peace, so it’s understandable when a country that likes violence will see the season as not interesting.”
Portable’s remarks have continued to fuel discussions online, with some users hoping for a shake-up in future BBNaija seasons, perhaps by including celebrities like Portable himself. Regardless of the varied opinions, it’s clear that BBNaija remains a hot topic, and suggestions like Portable’s add to the conversation about how the reality show can evolve in the years to come.
