What TTT thought vs what most Nigerians really think

To most Nigerians, TTT represented cheating

husbands while Bisola became a representation

of sidechicks who don't even know that they

are one because they have been lied to.

TTT got his research wrong and it cost him

25 million naira.

TTT, one of the 2017 Big Brother Naija

housemates was evicted on Sunday, March 19,

2017, and during his conversation with Ebuka,

he said a research had shown him that

Nigerians have a funny way of treating people

once they find out that they are married.

So, I decided to carry out my own research,

thus; What TTT thought vs how Nigerians really

think.

I'm not going to pretend that I understood his

conversation with Ebuka as I'm not exactly sure

about how people treat married people, but, my

research has shown me that the housemate lost

for several reasons and being married isn't one

of them.

During my conversations with some hardcore

followers of the show, I discovered that most of

them think he played on their emotions, starting

from the day he stripped while canvassing for

likes amongst his fellow housemates.

After he stripped, he won lots of followers.

However, he lost those followers the moment

they found out that he was married.

He didn't lose them because he was married

[that would only prove his research right]. He

lost because he chose to keep his wife and kids

a secret, called his daughter his God-daughter,

told Jon his family members were all dead and

said he was single by 'God's grace' - all on Live

TV.

At that moment, every past action of his which

had appealed to the viewer's emotions were

interpreted as manipulative. He didn't just lie or

withhold his private life to viewers and his

fellow housemates, he became romantically

involved with Bisola, who at one time is believed

to have given him a blow job on Live TV.

It's one thing to keep your private life away

from the public, it's another to lie about it and

take advantage of people's feelings in the

process.

To Nigerians, Bisola is the victim; a woman who

was misled by a married man. She became a

representation of sidechicks who don't even

know that they are one because they have been

lied to.

It didn't matter that TTT had the support of his

wife, Nigerians took it personal.

TTT chose the wrong game strategy. Nigerians

can be very sentimental and he could have

appealed to their emotions with his family and

beautiful kids.

Better still, he could have separated his family

from the game while making sure not to engage

in any act that would disrespect something

Nigerians consider valuable; family.

TTT didn't lose because he was the most boring

housemate, he lost because he didn't carry out

a proper research about how Nigerians feel

about married men.

He forgot quickly that Richard , a married man

from Tanzania, who wasn't even faithful to his

wife on Live TV, won the 2nd edition of Big

Brother Africa.

The difference between TTT and Richard?

Richard didn't lie about his wife, neither did he

proclaim his family dead on live Television.

With 25 million naira gone, one can only hope

TTT takes out time to conduct a proper

research about how Nigerians really think.

He thought Nigerians would 'think funny' about

his marital status - he thought wrongly and it

cost him the prize money.
