On the morning of the 1st day of February 2019, Nigerians woke up to an incredible amount of youths storming the 8 audition centers for this year’s edition of Big Brother Naija.
Nigerians have in light of this, started blaming the ASUU strike, joblessness and the government for the turnout of youths at the audition centers.
According to a twitter user,
‘the crowd at the #BBnaija auditions is proof of our flawed value system and our failed government. I am not against anyone going to audition for it, but when this is what majority of our youth see as a way to escape poverty, then we have a serious problem’.

Imagine coming out like this to shut down this year’s election because of ASUU strike. Let’s see if the Federal government won’t respond ASAP. #BBNaija
