Oh what an amazing night it was on Twitter when the #BBNaija
final eviction show was transmitted.
Over 25 million Nigerians tuned in to watch or be a part of
the show in one way or the other and this is where the participants should
focus their goals whether win or lose. According to a diligent Twitter user, (@zebbook)
who collated data reflecting the reach in numbers of millions of individuals
from every continent in the world, predominantly Africa, North America and Europe,
this is seriously unprecedented. Despite this level of exposure and potentially
significant opportunity, many of the housemates will lose their chances or
worse, end up forgotten. To avoid this pitfall, we have identified at least
five ways the former housemates can manage their newly found stardom:
- Speak As Little As
Possible About Your Time In The Big Brother House:
Listen to this very carefully,
after spending about 78 days on TV screens all over the world, we have a pretty
good idea of who you are. The last thing you want to do after coming out is to
continuously speak about your time in the Big Brother House. It’s worse if you
were pretty controversial in the house. We know all that you did, do not spend
time explaining a particular situation. It is too late, you are out whether win
or lose.
- Now Is The Time To Show
Your Talent, Skill and Whatnot:
Big Brother House has given you the
platform to be famous, you will be getting interviewed left and right. As we
discussed above, speak little about the house and start pushing your agenda. Be
it a skill, talent or business, go ahead and talk about it. This is your
opportunity for endless press access, work it!
- Acknowledge Your Voters:
Even if you were among the first to
be evicted, people voted for you. Make sure you create a press release
specifically for the purpose of appreciating your voters. Do not be confused
though, they are not your fans yet. You can make them your fans by giving them
a reason. Nigerians are conservative at heart, appeal to their thinking whether
for or against. Have giveaways, throw meet and greets, etc.
- Get A Good
Manager….Preferably Not Family:
Please do not be foolish, get
yourself a good manager. Not someone who is interested in just being associated
with you or being seen with you. Get someone who will understand your agenda
and make you a priority.
Side note: Stay away from siblings,
cousins, blah blah blah!
- So What You didn’t Win:
Take a cue from Ebuka Obi-Uchendu; he didn’t win the first season of #BBNaija, in fact he finished in the eighth
place but went on to become one of the most successful participants of the
competition. As if that wasn’t enough, he came back to host same competition he
got evicted from. The competition churns
out winners if only you are smart enough to recognize that. So, get up, get
good and get going!
Congratulations to all the #BBNaija
participants, we hope the above suggestions are useful and if you are in need
of good managers, we are just a click away!
