Marketing expert lists reasons – BBNaija housemates are waste of money when it comes to brand influence

Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:30 AM PST

Brand marketer lists a number of reasons why the housemates of the Big Brother Naija reality show are bad business for brand influencing.

In a question and answer session on Instagram, a marketing expert noted that BBNaija housemates are an unproductive way of influencing 'clean brands.'

When asked, What do you think about influencers that come out of big brother?

The marketer wrote in response, "I don't use them, they aren't brand fit for where I work. Maybe if I change companies to a waist trainer brand, alcohol, condom brand maybe, If you work for a conservative brand or a clean brand, the press they bring, the drama, you have to look at that your brand and see if that's the kind of publicity you want to be associated with.

Secondly, longevity is the issue with them. They are only relevant till the next big brother, only a handful has found a way to extend their lifespan.

Also, they weren't originally content creators. They just happened to have followers cos of the platform, don't expect too much in terms of value in content creating, don't expect at all.

Personally, I won't sign such one, even the big ones, It;s just more headache. There are just better ways to spend your money, who knows, my view might change. Then alot don't know how to reinvent themselves and create other value, in terms of this Anto is the only one I've used, cos she's a great host, so that's one with value."

Pastor David Ibiyeomie says – “You’re a criminal if you don’t pay your tithe; your offense is punishable”

Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:00 AM PST

Pastor David Ibiyeomie, lead Pastor of Salvation Ministries, has proclaimed that individuals who do not pay their tithes to the church are criminals.

The televangelist, who compared tithing to paying taxes to the federal government, stated on Sunday that giving 10% of all earnings to the church is required.

Refusing to pay tithe, like tax evasion, is a serious act, according to him.

In his words:

"Tax is the government's share, so you don't say I want to give the government my tax, you say you want to pay tax, that is how tithe is God's own. Leviticus 27:30. God is the owner of the tithe. So, what do you do?

"You pay, it's only in Nigeria you don't pay tax and they can leave you, in the Western world it is a big criminal offence, if you don't pay tithe, you are a criminal, your offence is punishable, tithe is simply one-tenth of your income, 10 per cent of your income goes to God."

He further stated that if an individual keeps experiencing near success syndrome, it is not because they need deliverance, but it's because they're not tithers

The pastor said:

"Near success syndrome will not happen. If you're experiencing near success syndrome don't go for deliverance, you're not a tither. Anything that I do, when it is close to manifestation, the thing will just go off, you're not a faithful tither.

"Many deliverance ministries, they just go for deliverance, this is the problem, they don't pay Tithe faithfully. Yet, they will say anything I want to do, when it is about to click it will just go off.

"It is near success syndrome. Correct it from tithing, don't correct it from seven days deliverance. Hear this, tithe must be paid first otherwise the curse will remain"

Reno Omokri calls out DSTV for assigning channel 419 to NTA, says – “It is a deliberate action”

Posted: 23 Feb 2022 01:30 AM PST

Popular political activist and Lawyer, Reno Omokri has chastised DSTV for giving NTA, the Nigerian government-owned broadcaster, the 419 channel.

The Nigerian Television Authority being assigned the frequency channel 419 is not a coincidence, says the controversial figure.

He claims it is DSTV's method of mocking and demarketing the nation.

The portion of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing with fraud and the penalties for offenders is known as "419."

As a result, every type of financial fraud or deception in Nigeria is referred to as "419."

The assignment of channel 419 to the Nigerian Television Authority by DSTV carries a very potent subliminal message, according to Reno.

Female health worker laments – “The moment you tell most men you’re a doctor/nurse they bring up marriage”

Posted: 22 Feb 2022 11:30 PM PST


A Twitter user, identified as @Tejumola has taken to the micro blogging platform to state that most men do not go for female medics because of who they are; but because they feel they've found a trophy.

The lady complained on Twitter that if a woman tells a Nigerian man she's a doctor or a nurse, they quickly bring up marriage without even knowing and understanding her.

She went on to say that most Nigerian men regard female doctors as trophies, and that most of these guys are reluctant to help them because they feel they are wealthy.

She backed up her claim with a tweet claiming that males drove around the Lagos University Teaching Hospital looking for female physicians and nurses.

Her tweet reads:

"It's quite interesting and sad to see that Nigerian female medics are hardly ever desired for who they are. The moment you tell most Nigerian men you're a doctor/nurse, they bring up marriage because to them, they've found a trophy.

They fixate on that little detail and get so immersed in it that, as far as they're concerned, that's all they need to know about you. They just want to be able to say "My wife is a doctor."

Your entire personality doesn't matter, they are not willing to spend on you like they would other girls, they just want that "trophy" in their house. And you spend so much time in school that by the time you graduate, these men think they are doing you a favour."

Popular controversial Political activist and lawyer, Reno Omokri has recently asserted that marriages can survive infidelity but cannot survive poverty.

According to the controversial figure, research has found that what is the leading cause of divorce is finance.

He advised people to desist from saying that love conquers all, because when there is no money, love vanishes.

In his words:

"Marriages can survive marital infidelity, but it is hard for marriages to survive long term marital poverty. Research it. Finances are the top reason for divorce. So stop saying 'love conquers everything'. Without money, the love may just dissolve like sugar in tea"
